A brief rant

[GlobalExplorer]

That was different, someone was really butthurt there, then got a deserved riposte.

But in general I agree, I also find it often unbearable when other peoples opionion differ from mine

Wasn't reacting to anyone particular, actually. Just the general 'If it's not exactly the way I want it to be, it'll suck, and I know this before I've even played the game' attitude I've seen over and over and over again over the past couple of months...well, it's gotten to me a little.

Just a little sick of hearing 'well that's going to be a crap game' when no one's even got to play the game yet, and tired of hearing lamentations of 'it'll suck because they didn't do it my way' when your way might not make a very good game.

First of all this an insult to our intelligence.

If you choose to percieve it that way. I see it more as a condemnation of a jaded attitude in regard to anything that doesn't fit expectations or preconceptions.

But that's subjective. The problem here is not so much concrete expectations but rather annoyance about dumbing down of each and every aspect until games literally play themselves.

Look what you've done now Vlad :rotfl:

Again, perception. There's been plenty of games released over the past couple of years that equal or exceed some you've held up as ideals.

I think your percentages are a little off.

Once again you are right. It is only 98%.

Gaming is so widespread nowadays. It's turning into the movie industry. A whole lot of garbage to feed the 'casuals'. I feel like anybody who has been burned by a bad port or an unfaithful sequel can complain all they want about a game. Even if they haven't played it.

Lemme just remind everybody that the HALO series is unbelievably popular. Despite it being just an average shooter.

ps. Not exactly clear on what this rant is about. I guess he's just pissed about people that complain about games.
