    What is your idea of a hardcore gamer?

    Alright, here are the requirements to be a hardcore gamer. 1. You have to play video games frequently. 2. Hmmm well.... Welp, this seems like enough requirements.

    Can hype ruin your experience?

    I think a lot of people take their expectations too seriously, you see this especially with sequels. If BioShock 2 were released before the original it would be considered a really good game, but instead many people consider it bad because it's 15% worse than the previous game. I tend not to...

    Any point in not selling the xbox 360 for the new consoles?

    I wouldn't even consider it unless the new consoles were backwards compatible and even then I would have to be starving to death. I am the type of person that replays games that I like, So this question doesn't even make sense to me.

    Only just started playing Bioshock Infinite and i have mixed reactions.. especially for Elizabeth..

    Saying the game is racist is just dumb, just because a game has racist characters doesn't mean it promotes racism. Columbia isn't portrayed as an ideal society and it's founder is the games antagonist . At one point Booker saves an interracial couple from death.(if I remember correctly)

    Seventh Generation Classics

    I'm going to rank these games as if there were a gaming hall of fame. I don't personally like all of these games, but I recognize their relevance. There are plenty of games that I will look back at as my all time favorites that aren't listed here, because I understand they aren't...

    Why does Call of Duth have to keep reminding us it's the best series of all time?

    A lot of games say something like "Winner of 120 game of the year awards", which makes me wonder if they count Facebook polls.

    Can a developer occasionally flaunt his or her political or social beliefs?

    I always enjoy when artists talk about what they believe in and I dislike when they are too afraid to do so. These people are human beings they are just as qualified to speak their opinion as anyone else.

    How do you feel about online trophies?

    I'm not really a completist when it comes to Achievements , so I don't care about multiplayer achievements. The only thing I dislike is a game makes it too difficult to get 300 achievement score, (Fuck Max Payne 3) I just don't feel as satisfied when I look at a number less than 300.

    What is "hardcore",to you?

    Society seems overly concerned with labels, I mean they are just words. This person wants to be apart of the Hardcore gamer club, but doesn't want to be associated with people he doesn't like. This is an especially annoying desire, I mean do we really need to romanticize certain words? I've...

    What upcoming games are you looking forward to?

    I don't know if there has been a time where I'm less excited about upcoming games, so some games on this list I'm only kind of interested in. Two of these games may never exist ,(Half LIfe 3 isn't one of them) but otherwise I would only have one a couple games I'm really looking forward to...

    I'm a straight male gamer, convince me diversity in games is a good thing

    My point is Lee's race doesn't test the players ability to sympathize with him. I think a cultural difference is more interesting or at least a different perspective than usual. The most thing for me is rather or not a character is interesting and I believe I'm capable of sympathizing with a...

    I'm a straight male gamer, convince me diversity in games is a good thing

    I don't worry about things like diversity in gaming. I mean if an industry and it's consumers are mostly white, straight and male, who would you guess most of the protagonists are going to be? Even so, there are still a fair amount of protagonists that don't have all of those characteristics...

    Games that you've abandoned playing

    Max Payne 3: The story wasn't particularly interesting and I the found the combat awkward. Every Assassins Creed game I have played: I find no part of these games very gripping, everything just feels so generic. Call of Jaurez: BIB: My house burned down shortly after I began playing it...

    Has PC always been ahead of console in all generation?

    All of the games you showed are held I'm high regard by a lot of people, so it was hard to see the difference. "Console shooter that is scripted, linear, regen health and nothing but corridor crawler" I found that statement kind of dumb, who decided games with those qualities were bad? I mean...

    Aggregate of FAVORITE all-time games lists

    http://www.favslist.com/users/Thomas-Thompson/3870/lists/4 Some people may think I am an insane person based on a few of those games. I usually have lower standards for squeals than other people. For example I feel like BioShock 2 is maybe 15% worse than the original, but it is still a pretty...
