As if I condemn it or some shit. I said I don't care for it.
No, that's a matter of pure opinion. This isn't.
It just looks like you've got a completely irrational dislike for an entire segment of gaming... I just do not understand people who say that PC gaming is bad for silly reasons like yours... I mean, if it was "PC games are all FPSes and strategy games and MMORPGs and I prefer other things" that would be mostly true if we restricted the discussion to current games, but that wasn't really your case (excepting MMORPGs).
And as I said, a television, and a gamepad, quite simply do not work for some kinds of games. Though the Revolution might change that a bit... we'll see...
It is a preference to play consoles. If I had more time for video games I might venture into PC gaming, but I hardly have any time to play video games these days. This last week I got to play about 3 hours. Before that I hadn't touched my PS2 for 2 weeks because I didn't have fucking time.
I don't play handhelds because I don't like holding a portable for any length of time. Next you're going to tell me that that doesn't make any sense. There are great games and I should play them whether I want to or not.
Stop.
Quote:You simply cannot look at the state of originality in games, the current gamer demographic, the current sales trend, the question of 'who exactly are playing games and where are they playing them', and not come off with the conclusion that there is a problem... it is simply impossible...Sony created a mass market of cool gamers who buy things like 50 cents' game and Need for Speed: Driving with no Headlights. That doesn't mean original games don't sell, just not as well when compared.
The so-called hardcore is still around. They're just not as great in number, and there is more to choose from these days so not every great game is going to sell a million copies.
Quote:The point is that they're doing that... but in their way, not in the one you'd prefer.The ONLY thing I dislike about the whole situation is that they're up and completely changing direction. I'm still enjoying the way I play games right now. I like current controllers and big epic games. I also want to try these new supposedly innovative games with a weird new controller. My question is why shouldn't I have both on the Revolution?
Why are they only trying to appeal to new gamers? Why not having something for everyone and appeal to a even wider demographic.
