... when I am in first place on any game. Seriously. I'm a pretty average gamer and few things disturb me more than knowing absolutely nobody could do better than me.
What's your gamer fear?

That the gaming market will listen to people who sit on their couch and play video games all day only taking breaks to be a walmart greeter, and make little to no money on the games they spent half a billion dollars making just so the self-entitled retards can spend their minimum wage paychecks on a luxury they don't need.
That's what I fear. And it's something we hear about every day.

I felt this way when I got the fastest time in the world for one of the Maps on Wii Mario Kart (and it had been out for over a year when I got the record), I was relieved when it was broken by a Japanese gamer about a week later... by a tenth of a second.AtheistGuy said:
My gamer fear is that every new game that comes out will just be a rehash of a game I've already played.
I fear that the trend of realism will last forever. I get that realism s nice but after a certain amount you just start repeating the same muddy grey settings, colors and guns. If it continues too long only these games ll get made because they make the most money. This would then mean the death of color and variety in gaming.
*shudders*
I really look forward to games like Saints Row the Third which throws realism out the window with a high powered catapult then beats it up dressed as a cyberpunk Mexican wrestler.

My gamer fear is that I'll finally get Platinum for Resident Evil 5. All I have to do is finish about 2/3 on Pro. I've been going at it, bit-by-bit for about a year now (when I swapped from Xbox to PS) and it's the only goal I've come close to achieving in recent memory. Don't know what I'll do with my life at that point...
That my favourite series' will be drawn out with mediocre games.
Oh wait, that's happening right now.
That, and the day my PS2 dies. We've had 8 years together.

I felt that way when I would play Halo 3 and, Reach online. I was on the bad side of average so whenever I lead in kills I was always a bit more self conscious. Not that I enjoy dying of course but I'm never MVP. It's weird to see that happen.AtheistGuy said:

I'm terrified of dying cold, sad, and alone, having accomplished nothing worth remembering in life.
...oh, you mean in videogames! I'll have to think about that one...

i fear that when i go back to the united states, i won't live close enough to play warhammer 40k with anybody, and my 3000 point imperial guard army will go to waste.
That digital distribution will become the sole means of purchase for both the console and PC. I'm not sure i'm entirely comfortable with developers and publishers having that much monopoly on their sales, especially when you consider how extremely anti-competitive services like XBL and PSN are. If we could have other digital distributors sell us the next iteration of Halo or uncharted - then, grand - but as it stands Sony and Microsoft are in full control of what you see and pay for and i'm not entirely comfortable with that. Yes, brick and mortar stores do sometimes outright play publishers for mugs because they're afraid of losing their strangelhold on the industry and yes CDs are impractical when you consider the relative simplicity of digitally distributed content, but at least the market out there is healthy with various retailers competing with each other.
I post this and just under 4 hours later I am the top player in the entire game... 3 games in a row. I'm sure this could have gone on longer if I didn't lose my connection (Damn you shoddy bf3 stability!)
