Aunt Buys a Wii then starts acting like she knows Gaming Prove her wrong

[katsabas]

Wiis exist for simple family fun.
PCs exist for hardcore games.
XBoxes exist for Rock Band.
And PS3s exist for showing off that you have more money than sense.

If you do not have something to add to the thread, then do not post. Your head is supposed to house a brain.

Anyway, about the auntie thing: make her play Madworld and then we will see if she still acts like a know-it-all. Tell her that the game was exclusive to the Wii. That should make her run for the hills.

...5. Going on the theme of that last statement, try to take that point of view with your Aunt. Tell her you are happy that she enjoys her purchase, that you recognize that the Wii is good for some people, but that it is not right for you. List some reasons why you would like an Xbox 360 instead, but don't bash the Wii. It seems like your Aunt may subconciously regret buying the Wii, and you don't want to bring those feelings out if you're trying to avoid a fight.
6. Talk to your parents about what console you want in private. That way, you control which way the conversation goes, not your Aunt.

Hear hear, wisdom. I was going to write something similar myself, however, SMse articulates heaps better than me.

That doesn't actually apply since the price drop.

Why does the wii suck?

Bad line of games Bad graphics bad controls horrible online the online service sucks you COULD get up and play with the wii remote but it?s easier to just sit down and fuck around with it there?s the fact that the wii is so laughably bad at a technology standpoint its fucking astounding you can't watch movies on your wii..

Also to piss her off even more give me the name of the consol you want I own all 3... I can give the good sides?

 

[JohnReaper]

you know though the older people that try to be in the now no matter How much they Drive us up the wall with the you know nothing i know it all thing we still love them if they are family

Ot I can't even get Close to talking to my aunt about things becuase she acts like i am just trying to be arguementative he deffinition of argueing is talking to her about a thing she thinks she knows

 

[KiruTheMant]

Let me put it this way,in a nice long list of quotes you need to write down.

"Xbox quickly intograted The technology that is beyond Nintendos grasp,Sony too"
"PS3 has incredible games that are well worth the money,while I pay 30 dollars for a sports game that lasts half an hour on the Wii."
"Wii is awful,and its controllers break more things than a sledgehammer"
"Age usually means experience.Experience here is someone whos played multiple GOOD Consoles instead of a crappy one."
and Finally
"Just because you use the age card dosen't mean that you have any right to tell me what I like,don't like,and need."

When I used these in this same situation my grandmama was crying

 

[JohnReaper]

Kiru that was harsh man made your grandma cry i am trying to tell my aunt that I know more about consules Not make her think i am an asshole know it all

 

[JoshGod]

get your xbox and show her the better games on it and the by far superior graphics.
and tell her she cant compare things when she only ever got 1 and knows nothing about the others, then she will disagree being the type of person who thinks im older aka i know better so then just ignore her and let her realise from the gameplay how stupid she is.

eventually you may have to kill her....
just so you cant put the wii in her coffin and say 'lota good it did you'
(not being serious im not a mass murder...)

 

[JohnReaper]

okay my aunt also plays the talk to mom directly with out me there to screw with what she thinks like one time I was told by my aunt that I Was Doing something wrong that I didn't do so i looked over at my mom and my mom said Don't lie.

Another thing that happened is when I get called on for doing something and get inrouble ofr it since they don't know what i really did I tried to tell my mom once and she Said she didn't care if your aunt caught you then you did it

this is just a few of the things my aunt does

OT as was sated earlier the only thin my aunt has going for the wii is that it makes me get up and play not sit around and think out probloms lightning fast.

 

[spike0918]

Gahhhh, My aunt bought a Wii big whoop right? Well She Thinks she knows gaming now and I quote "There is not much diffrence between the 3 systems except the wii is better because it gets you up and moving." this was said to my Mother and when I tried to talk to her about the diffrent systems I told her the the Graphics for the Wii is not the best and the Controls are more often than not sloopy. She pulled the good old fassion "I am older so i know what the hell i am talking about" move

So she went on to diss the Xbox and PS3 saying they Are worse than the wii but not stating a real reason so i tell here about Prject Natal and she says Its not out yet is it ?

So i try to tell her about the Controls again she stops listening to it and starts Getting angry With not being able to prove the Wii is better. saying that my Mother should buy me A Wii and Not get me the Xbox When I am doing chores to make my own money around the neighborhood And then she says That I should not get the Xbox Because it would let me actually play games almost When i come home from a long day of school i want to shoot heads not throw a remote at the tv because of piss poor controls and Graphics

What gets my goat though is that even though I am one of the only three Games in this town of Jocks and Sports lovers she acts LIKE I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE about gaming so this is where you guys come in she wont belive me But if i can show her a list of reasons of why the wii sucks and give examples of it the more the better . So please help me.

Phew, please use periods. In case your wondering randomly putting in capital letters mid-sentence does not make your paragraphs any easier to read.

Also, you remind me of a lot of the annoying kids I play with during an online game that on the slightest mention of any other console than the 360 (PC included) they flip shit and call it the worst gaming platform ever. I realize your rage at your aunt because she is basically acting like the Fox News "reporters" did with the Mass Effect sex scene. But before you tell me that the Wii has piss poor controls or graphics take a look at the masterpieces on the console like Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess.

And unless you are like this idiot who doesn't realize that you don't have to really swing the remote like an actual tennis racket, then you shouldn't break your TV with it.

Wii is good if you play games when there isn't a football game you should be at. For the rest of us who don't care about things like sports, Wii is a waste of money.

Anyone over 40 cannot get into gaming, end of story, trust me, I know.

I made the mistake of giving my Great Aunt a go with my DS when it came out, she didn't grasp the concept of just touching the screen and assumed she had to lean hard on it as you would a sheet of paper on a hard surface.

RIP: 2 week old DS and stylus.

(Stylus snapped in 2 and cracked and broken touch screen in a matter of seconds. her comment after was, "they aren't very well made these new contraptions!" )

owch

 

[beartheengineer]

grow up little kid. if she wants the wii it isn't for the same reasons you want to play games let her be. and learn some goddamn grammar.

 

[shotgunbob]

I do think that FPS games work better on the Wii atleast control wise

The 360 and PS3 are miles ahead in technology and are far superior

 

[GamingAwesome1]

First off, knock her off her high horse as I've said in the past, non-gamers don't deserve to say shit about gaming as a whole. Tell her that she's an un-informed moron who wouldn't know anything about this type of thing, she's another one of those Wii-bowling arsetards who think their the mastermind of gaming just because they can turn the bloody machine on.

These reasons should hit your aunt with the stick of knowledge.

360 graphics are hands down better, Sorry there's just no competition.
360 has a line-up of great games, Wii has about four.
Wii controls are AWFUL, they're sloppy mixed up controls!
360's online is generally excepted to be superior to Wii.

If she still refuses to realise she don't know crap, buy a 360, smash her Wii and see if she knows shit then.

Just point out to her that you can't watch German sheizer porn on the Wii like you can on the other two systems. Then make her watch some and kneecap her with a chainsaw while she is vomiting.

Um... Yeah...

Or you could... You know... Ignore her, like you would any other fangirl...

 

[Hafnium]

Haven't read the whole thread, but if you're still up for giving her a bad day (I would be), say this: "Grey hair is a sign of age, not wisdom", she would like that.

That is all.
