Not cool m8, no need to be negative.
I think ChillzMaster already had this covered, but to support one mind with another.
Yes there is. There is a reason for us two being cynical in our own ways now and then -- hell, more often than not on the Video Games forums you can see me ripping deep into something for seemingly no reason.
What we have -- this technology, it's all a BONUS to what we would have, which would be the need to fight for survival, and the like. In that respect, what right do we have when it comes to having this bonus?
None.
But when the bonuses our intelligence has achieved us, are taken and twisted or exploited to those unable to see it -- a direct backstab as to what is required to achieve it in the first place... I'll elaborate.
When someone makes a poor game, I'll take Call of Duty for my example, and it dominates the market. This demonstrates that a pretty thoughtless and mediocre game can be the head of the market -- where innovation and creativity cease to exist is where people can easily follow. I believe many of us have heard the legend of how Crysis 2 and Alcatraz saved the FPS Game Industry as Homefront, the biggest Copy+Paste of Modern Warfare 2 has ever seen, hit the stores, by ChillzMaster.
Why? They inherited the same ideas, and were it not for the innovated play of Crysis 2 and it's streamflow multiplayer, we'd have hit a brick wall in progress of FPSs as a whole -- the genre which is needless to say lead on the market at this point of time.
So, where Chillz says that "
I try to push the medium towards greater and greater quality" he is not attempting to belittle your ideas, but the validity of them. If you're unwilling to heed his reason then, where is the hope? When people blame your inability to play the game as the reason for why you don't like it, fellow gamers do that. And their lack of reason and furthermore the lack to see reason is a harmful effect on the industry and a dangerous affect to all of us as we can, and have, bore witness to atrocities in the game market as publishers and developers attempt to essentially steal money, or make it from fecal matter.
And chillz, you can tell us what you like, but we, the gamers, are all entitled to our opinion.
As I've said... Being a good gamer is also being a good person -- I'm a firm believer that being good at anything that isn't a job is being a good person at its fundamentals -- reasonable, willing to accept that which is clear, and attempts to think on a logical level with all the actions one makes. The attempt at this I feel makes a good person, and sadly these are traits evidently DEVOID in the majority of humans. They've never needed it for lots of their work -- but when it comes to games, and anything else, they stand as the strongest form of decision making ever. Violence is the ultimate form of control, but reason is the ultimate form of not needing it.
Most people here say its a good game, I'm willing to try it. I got a bunch of Christmas cash so I'm looking for a new game
I decided to buy Starcraft 1, and it's expansion -- Brood War, for three reasons.
I want to be a faster player.
I want to indulge in the story.
And most importantly:
I want to indulge in the eSport that is so commonly known in Korea to this day -- a 12 year old sport for computers that match up to take more skill and cunning than any physical activity regarded to a professional level in Europe.
And if you think I'm exaggerating, then learn of
SaviOr.There is enough text explanation in that to let you know what made him so unbelievably good -- other sports don't grow like that, so you would be doing yourself and your
£7 in your pocket a favour by obtaining this game which deserves to be in a museum.
Yes, although no one ever called it the "Best Game Ever" or even GOTY of ...
You see his point, however.
That, and it could be an ironic reference to Call of Duty.
I just went there.
And btw, who is we, are you some Game Critisizer (thank anyone if he knows the correct term) for a website or magazine.
They're unreliable as most humans are -- influenced by that which should not matter -- be it reputation or money, they would not dare think a skeptical matter on the colossal Call of Duty franchise for it's shallow gameplay and even worse balance issues.
Some people actually enjoy these "scams".
And I can go out my back and enjoy tearing leaves whilst reminiscing about my dream I had a few nights ago -- I do not NEED to invest money for entertainment, but for those (like I) that do, we prefer give you a good reason for why what you do is ******.
I honestly don't see what you have against cod and similar games,
Look at the sticky'd CoD thread if you want to see my hate for it -- there's no point rearticulating my points, but when you understand the games to the degree that I or Chillz do, especially in comparison to others, you gain the fine ability to apply your knowledge into your entertainment.
but in all your posts you seem to attack it.
I do not respect those who assault the bonuses (all this technology) we have. Who exploit it for money and a name (the DLCs made prior to the release of Modern Warfare 2, the rehash of said game known as Homefront, and the inability Critics have to hit hard the colossal game franchises in fear of their name) are people I not only disrespect but will openly speak against in the manner you so clearly disdain.
May I ask... do you know why we do this?
Do you attempt to see the reason in it?
Do you see the reason in it?
Following ALL of our attacks, is logic and reason -- that which should be in every good person, it does not take a gamer to understand what we want.
has granted me the title of a Game Connoisseur.
Self-proclaimed I take it?
I am CS - Connoisseur's Sidekick?
hammer of Criticism
No no no. We already have the Banhammer, you need to choose a different weapon.
Axe?
Greatsword?
Bow? Let's be fair, we're pretty precise. ^^
I'm simply stating what games are right for the industry(Bioshock) and what ones need to just disappear(The Other M).
And why.
