Weekend Confirmed 90 - Miyamoto, Live update, Rayman Origins
by Garnett Lee, Dec 09, 2011 11:00am PSTThe Weekend Confirmed crew starts getting into the holiday spirit as Jeff, "Indie" Jeff, and Christian sit down with Garnett for this show. The buzz around misinterpretations of Miyamoto's plans for the future and the new Xbox Live dashboard and its mobile apps kicks things off. We know Jeff loves loving things, and it's obvious he's found a new object of his affection in Rayman Origins. No less fun, but definitely fun of a different sort, Saints Row the Third has Christian enjoying the freedom to fool around without feeling like he's missing out on anything. And of course there's your comments and stories, more news, and Finishing Moves to complete the package.

I am very against the idea of using a Wiki to learn what I might be missing in a game. My best example of this is my first love, Megaman Legends.
In Megaman Legends you go around digging in ruins to find different parts, then you bring those parts back to Roll who sees if she can make anything out of the combination of parts you brought her.
Now I have played this game beginning to end at least 10x. And each and every time I play it, there is an excitement that in the back of my head, that I might discover a different weapon that I have been missing all these years. If I had ever used a Wiki, I would of never had that feeling because I would know exactly how many weapons there are and if I found them all.
This applies to new games as well, like Skyrim. If I look up a Wiki, I ruin the excitement of stumbling across something new or the feeling that I did it myself.

Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom is a great example of a game that I really enjoyed, but could *only* enjoy with a Wiki. I would never have gotten through the game without one, because there are frequent times when you have no indication of where you're supposed to go or what to do.
Legacy of Kain Defiance is another. The Raziel parts had me backtracking all over the place and I frequently got lost. I will try and find the proper route on my own, but I have little patience for going in circles.
