If you could erase a game/series of games from ever being made...

I would pick MMORPGs like WOW simply because tens of millions of people online muhmorpuguhs are creating a nerd/gaming stigma of being anti-social lifeless unproductive people who play on the computer 10 hours a day. At least thats the stigma its been giving the media... and through them... non-gamers. This inaccurate stereotype is offensive and it seems to me the only solution is to get rid of MMORPGs.

I find this stereotype to be most unfair. It frustrates me the way the media alienates gamers but even more so the way gamers alienate MMOPRG players. Believe it or not most of us are just like average gamers. sure there are the extremes that play for 10 hours a day, but what about those guys that died played halo 3 for over 42 hours with out moving? I'm a junior officer in my guild and i only play 1-4 hours on the average night. sure, a couple times I have played wow marathons for 8 hours or w/e but I've done that with plenty of games, as have many of my friends.

The thing is people have been saying video games themselves make a person "anti-social." I remember before I even knew of WoW I saw news stories about Everquest ruining peoples lives. Really, people that take the game too seriously are the anti-social ones. I'll admit that I played WoW too much at the beginning but now I find my self just logging on to raid and I'm in a crappy hard core raiding guild that has yet to clear Uldar 10. Plus if you're saying that MMORPGs are the games making gamers look bad and they should be deleted then you'd have to get rid of video games in and of it's self. You can spend 10 hours on any game and not have a life. In that case there would be no gamers plus there would be just something else for people to get absorbed in, like drugs or gangs. Have you ever heard of a gang bangger gamer?

Jak 4: The Lost Frontier. I know the game hasn't been released yet (atleast I don't think so) but what I've seen of it looks to be the special child in the family of Jak games. The rest were all masterpieces to me and the new one looks to be good but not when compared to its predecessors. I think it shouldn't be a part of the series so as to be looked at from a different point of view, like a special child. I want this game to stop existing, unless it turns out that all I said is wrong, in which case, disregard this comment.

Splinter Cell...comon people that is not stealth!

BLASPHEMY!

Seriously though, I'm intrigued to find out your reasons for this outrageous interesting statement.

Well its kidna just me, but I never really truly enjoyed the game, the first 2 were terrible in my opinion, they were just bland because all the shit you got...it never really truly helped.

THE KNIFE...ohhhh the knife, k that was cool! But honestly shouldn't they have put that into the first 2 because if you run out of ammo you are screwed in all possible manners and forms.

I just personally disliked the game is what it more or less comes down too.

How are you screwed? If (in the VERY unlikely chance you run out of ammo, because they give you lots), you can sneak up behind them and knock them out with a punch.
And to state that splinter cell is not stealth, is just plain retarded, as it is a shining example of what denotes a great stealth game. It took the best parts of two classic stealth games (Metal Gear and the Thief series) and combined them into one.
Splinter cell is a stealth game. Maybe conviction is going to be more action oriented like mgs4, but the previous ones we're stealth games.

The original Prince of Persia, not the Sands of Time trilogy, just the originals.

I agree every time I try to play that game I just shake my head and throw it out the window.

1 Half-Life. It's not a terrible game. I just don't find any Half-Lifes fun at all. Everyone acts like you are the savior of the world when the only thing that separates you from every other human is your suit and weapons. Then you have Alyx. I don't hate her, but stop glamourizing her relationship with Gordon as solid gold. He never talks and she is a sarcastic *****. I fail to see the charm in that.

2 Call of Duty. It's the same game every year. If I wanna shoot America's enemies, I'll join the army. Plus I hate Call of Duty fanboys who think "I don't like Halo because it's so unrealistic. Call of Duty could actually happen irl." First off, Zombie Nazis are not real Second, who cares if it has realism? Realism is what takes the fun out of games. Realism is making the controller 20 pounds heavier so it feels like a rifle. Realism is Only being able to run for a few seconds before walking.

3 Gears of War. Why do people complain about Halo's target audience being a bunch of beer drinking frat boys when Gears of War exists? There is nothing more frat boy-ish than two overcompensating men with boulders for shoulders that have chainsaws on their rifles to cut people in half. Manly? More like hiding in the closet.

4 World of Warcraft. What else is there to say that hasn't already been said? It makes a good portion of players addicted. It gives bad PR to gamers as a whole. It's constantly blamed for countless problems in real life. We are better of without it.

I'd erase the Half-Life series. It would be both beneficial and interesting.

I have a strong belief that people are already antisocial and games just help push it along... Actually that's about all i have to add to the conversation at this point.

I'd have to purge Final Fantasy. Its gone on far too long and MAKES NO BLOODY SENSE!

 

[Wintermoot]

I dont think erasing Halo would change much in the shooter industrie it would be slightly different for me the erased game,s would be EVERY FinalFantasy from 1 (1 remains but its sequals dont) I dont hate FF but its FINAL right?

 

[Undeadsee]

All games with the word "Quest" in the title.

But but... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero_quest
You want that erased??

I would also pick World of Warcraft. Not to unburden us of the stigma, but to see what all those people would be doing with all that spare time. And I don't think they would all be playing just any other MMORPG since WoW is a special case, one you just can not simply replace.

Leisure Suit Larry lives on, defining the adventure genre!

 

[Erja_Perttu]

throw a couple of JRPGs with turn based combat into a hat and pull one out without looking. Erase that. I honestly don't understand what people find entertaining about that form of gameplay.

I like it because you don't have to aim and also a couple, definitely not all, have good stories. And when I say a couple, I mean about three of them.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

I disagree, I'd only erase some of them. Six was good surprisingly. I'd erase Doom, because it gave me nightmares as a child. and the later games are rubbish too.

 

[Kajt]

I'd erase RapeLay.

GTA4...
"Hey! Lets go bowling!"
"I dont want to go f**king bowling!"
"Why not?"
"I'm getting shot at!"
*click*
*ring*
"F**K!"

Grand Theft Awesome.

WOW and all other MORPG so that the world would have 10 million more productive members of society to add to the work force and billions of dollars would no longer be wasted developing such shit.

You're an idiot. How do you think people afford to pay for WoW every month? How do you think they afford an internet connection? How do they afford a house? How do they afford clothes? How do they afford to pay taxes? Oh yeah, THEY GOT A BLOODY JOB!

I would pick WOW simply because tens of millions of people are creating a nerd/gaming stigma of being anti-social lifeless unproductive people who play on the computer 10 hours a day. At least thats the stigma its been giving the media... and through them... non-gamers.

That is a stereotype.
I barely even spend 2 hours on it.
I don't know where all the hate came from, but it needs to stop because it divides the gaming community.

that means you are one of the more "normal" people that play it. I know like 20 people who do nothing but WOW

I also know 20 people who do nothing but TV all day. I know 20 people who do nothing but cooking food all day, 20 people who play soccer all day aka what I'm trying to say is this: Bullshit.


Also, I'd erase Final Fantasy. I stopped liking it when it went 3D. I hated it when I saw there's 13 bloody Final Fantasies.

I realized that many people on this forums are biased about WoW, giving in into stereotypes like utter idiots.

I play WoW, and I only spend about 1-2 hourd a day online.
Next time, think before you open your mouth.
