Its the main problem with Wii not being a primarily online console. We live in an age of rushed games with next to no testing as developers think "oh we can fix bugs later". It's all down to high developing costs though thanks to most games being multi-platform too. Multi-platform games means more time to develop = higher initial costs. I mean sure they make a lot more afterwards but they try cut down that cost as much as they can.

I agree with you, but we have to admit that the wii online infrastructure is a joke.

danmachine5674d ago

i agree snake, 12 digit friend codes FTL.

TheMART5674d ago

bahaahaha Nintendo really... You FAIL.

Also, why doesn't my games like New Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong Country Returns have no online co-op MP?

Great games that would have been even better because of this. WHY?

riksweeney5674d ago

Why can't you just play the game in your lounge with your offline friends like they show in the adverts?

Lord Gunchrote5674d ago

The Wii is so far behind its crazy that it sells so well. Granted a lot of grandparents and non serious gamers may not need blu ray or xbox live how could they be satisfied with this!? you can't even get a patch lol

AllSystemsRocks5674d ago

Lawsuit against Harmonix and Activision eat Kotick wallet would be cool....

CernaML5674d ago

....Rock Band has NOTHING to do with Activision. -_-

Looking Back to 2010 and Rock Band 3 - the First Death of Rock Band

Dave writes: "Hopefully time will be kind to Rock Band 3. It’s the equivalent of a Blade Runner or Van Gogh, unappreciated and undersold in its own time, but something that has undeniable quality. We may never see another Rock Band, no encore to this great series, but in Rock Band 3 and Rock Band 4, we got some pretty awesome final tracks."

"It sounds simple enough, but due to the expiration of licenses, one of the four songs, Promised Land by Vesuvius, is no longer available to download. If you previously had it downloaded, it will *not* be taken away, so you'll still be able to grab this one."

Well damn it. I really dig that song from The Rocker and I did not know it was in RB3. I stopped playing after RB2.

franwex2753d ago

Online achievement/trophies are dumb. I’m not sure why they still include them. I recall the modern warfare games were applauded for not including them.
Unless the game is an online only game because what choice is there at that point.

Skankinruby2753d ago

Uhm trophies are fantastic, they give you real reason to keep playing a game after you beat it

Christopher2753d ago

If you need trophies to keep playing a game after you beat it, then is the game worth playing any further? It's imaginary points, not better gaming. Good games will be replayed regardless of imaginary points.

Skankinruby2753d ago

@Christopher
That logic makes zero sense. It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY. It's not about better/worse gaming, it's about a replay of a game feeling fresh and not redundant.

***It's most definitely 'worth playing further' as you go and do things you clearly didn't do the first time....hence why do didn't get the TROPHY.***

If you need a trophy to do something and not the fact that you enjoy it, is the game actually worth playing? Seriously, how is that a foreign concept? How is that nonsensical? I guess it's nonsense to someone who plays for trophies, but that's about all you're playing for when you promote the reason for doing more to just get trophies and not because you enjoy it.

In fairness sony did have that gold trophy auction for all those commercial props.

Would have loved to have enough trophies for that.

Pretty ignorant statement to have... there are lots of fun achievements/trophies to be had playing online... I've never played through the single-player campaign in any COD... but had lots of fun playing online... Companies have to be sure to cater to all gamers when it comes to achievements/trophies... a good mix is never a bad thing...

franwex2753d ago

...except if you want to play a game online a couple of years later and not being able to, hence from getting all the trophies.
I’m not obsessed with getting every achievement/trophy but if I like the game I may try to. I’m simply being punished for not discovering the game earlier.

agnosticgamer2753d ago

Most games... minus complete failures last much...much longer online than I believe you are giving credit for...

OneEyedSteve2753d ago (Edited 2753d ago )

Half of these are false .. The Evolve one can still unlocked... Ghostbusters is only unachievable on PS3 its still online on 360.. Destiny 2 one is only unobtainable for a while as said by bungie... GTAV one can still be unlocked too in a private game. And the Black Ops 3 one can still be unlocked using a few different methods. Guy who wrote this is clueless.

Majors2753d ago

When a games server goes offline then they should allow users to create their own p2p servers to keep these games active. They should also unlock or delete the trophies from any list to those who havent got them.

darthv722753d ago

I can think of a few honorable mentions. there is one for smartglass seeing as smartglass is now defunct. there is also ones for 1v100 and dorito crash course 2 since both of those games are also defunct.
