Shia LaBeouf Slams the Wii

[Brett Alex]

Hmm. And here I was, thinking that the Wii was popular among the female demographic.

(That was a burn)

Johnnburn, in fact.

To be honest I don't doubt he was taken slightly out of context, or perhaps was saying it as a bit of a joke. I could be wrong, but I can't see anyone who is used to being around cameras blowing up during an interview, and blowing up over the Wii of all things.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Well. With the way the Wii has been going it has earned it's title as a causal gamers console (Witch isn't so much a bad thing.) But you have to give it some credit. I mean it has caused Microsoft and Sony to start making motion controlled games.

 

[Vuzzmop]

But he assisted in the murder of both Transformers and Indiana Jones! Why do we care what he thinks?

Oh, please. Transformers has been dead on it's feet for two decades now. It's cool for the nostalgia, but it was never good.

 

[red the fister]

I have to admit, I don't entirely agree, but I think he is a genuine gamer, not just one of those people trying to appeal to the geek crowd... Olivia Munn.

but DUDE!!! did you see her on Ninja Warrior!!! she went all ~squish~ beating the first challenge, er... obsticle. and gotta find my playboy money.....

 

[AceDiamond]

If he actually plays the Transformers game then I wouldn't listen to his opinion on games.

Yeah I love how his one contribution to the games was "dur it should have online mode", wanna know why he said that? So he can go troll other like-minded idiots like him using voice-chat.

I wonder if he stammers "no" a lot when he's about to get completely owned up on.

Again there's really nothing in this interview or whatever to suggest that he isn't a massive fanboy prick who thinks he knows everything about the industry and what's best for it. No I am not saying the Wii is the best thing going in gaming, I am saying that the fact some people here are going "well I don't like him but I like what he's saying" is only further illustrating the rampant fanboyism and "hardcore vs. casual" bullshit label war that has existed since Nintendo "abandoned" its "core audience" and kicked economic ass in the process.

"Sorry Megan, I don't really care for playing Wii games. Why don't we play...erm...sex?"

Nah but seriously, the man kinda does have a point about the Wii for the most part.

 

[red the fister]

and i just thought up a reason for turning down Meg..... first of it's Meg. secondly, she could be an utter c-word?. i mean yeah, she's hot, but so were all the *popular bitches* in high school.

i bought my wii as a gift for my successful Divorce(what a lovely word, it smells of freedom) i beat-up Prime 3, was dissapointed by umbrella chronicles, then i played alone in the dark........ and my wii died, but like jesus it came back to life after a few months, by which time i'd purchased a 360 - and i haven't played my wii since.

but any way, Mr. leDouch is entitled to his opinion, no mater how invalid it may be. and. celebs need to be muzzled unless they're working.

now it's time for what the internet is for.....

 

[konkwastaken]

you guys are all ripping on Shia just cos he doesn't like the wii, hes a good actor but why does his opinion matter any more than anyone else's?

if i made a thread saying my friend Paul doesn't like the wii i wouldn't get a single page of posts, come on guys get over it.

 

[MarcoB]

Christ, cut Shia some slack.

 

[Dys]

....can I play videogames with Megan Fox?
...please?

 

[Chipperz]

And in case there was any lingering doubt, he claimed that he refused to play LEGO Star Wars [http://www.lego.com/starwars/] with Megan Fox on the set of Transformers 2 because he doesn't like the game. "Who wants to play the Wii version of LEGO Star Wars?" he asked. "I'd rather eat glass."

You know, I'm beginning to feel really sorry for Megan Fox. This month's GQ has a similar story where she's trying to lighten the mood with another game (Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit, of all bloody things) and the guy just flat turns her down.

Does anyone ever play any games with Megan Fox? Quick hint for straight guys everywhere. If Megan Fox asks you if you want to play Lego Star Wars, you suck up your pretentious fanboy arse and you play the damn game!


On topic, I thought Shia LaBeouf was pretty cool. Shame it turns out he's a ****.

I doubt anyone cares he doesn't like the Wii. I think everyone's beef is with HOW he said it. I don't particularly like the Wii either, I'm just not an asshole about it like Shia.

"he claimed that he refused to play LEGO Star Wars with Megan Fox on the set of Transformers 2 because he doesn't like the game"
Excuse me, but who the fuck is that stupid to refuse to play a game with Megan Fox?

Has for the Wii "slamming"...well we are all entitled to our own opinion. I wouldn't call the Wii a piece of shit but I'd never play a game on it.

 

[masakoz]

your my new hero shia. damn, i wish i had his gamer tag. so i can have budddy online to bash the wii with

thats goty material my friend cant wait for the acheivments

 

[Signa]

What a tard! Only TRUE gamers have Wiis.

As much as that sounds like a fanboy statement, hear me out. A true gamer won't care what system a game is on, or how "casual" or "kiddy" a game is, they will play it. A true gamer would in fact own a Wii. They might not play it much, because of the lack of good games on it, but I would question a "gamer" who only owns a 360 a lot faster than another who owns only a Wii. The Wii has far more diversity in their games than the 360 does.

Of course I would also question anyone who only owns one system too.

 

[Ranooth]

"This is how in a simple way you can find out if it's a gamer you want to play with," he added. "Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the f--k out of there."

Im a Wii owner and i bet that A) im a better actor then you and B) that i could easily own you at any modern FPS that the 360 has.

What a big-headed idiot.

I'm sorry, but you're response makes it seem like you're the big headed idiot. Let the guy have his opinion, it doesn't matter whether we agree with him or not, because at the end of the day, he's going to be a rich mofo, and we will still be average people.

Reading what i put yeah i kinda did :S

Yeah he's allowed his opinion but my god how much of a twat does he sound when he says it and anything that sparks off more console war debate just pisses me off.

But he was in a guide to recognizing your saints which almost balances it out almost
