If you don't like a game or it's pubs/devs, don't buy the game. Nothing hurts a corporation as much as a lack of investors.

There is no such thing as a "bad" feature or gameplay mechanic, only bad implementation.

Thus, there isn't anything wrong with a game simply because it doesn't behave exactly like another game.

Games go down in price, don't ***** about a game being $60 when you can wait a year or two and pick it up for $20.

Also you can dislike games you haven't played. I'm pretty sure most people here didn't have to read yaoi to know it's not for them.

For the emprahhh!!!

OT: Survival Horror is supposed to be hard! I'm really bugged at how people I know will trash Silent Hill for it's clunky combat, that's the point, you're supposed to feel massively underpowered, every fight has to be a struggle. That's the one thing that bugs me about games like Alan Wake and Dead Space (I love both of those games to death however) but I never felt overwhelmed, I always had more than enough ammo to dispatch of my foes (in the rare occasions I didn't in Dead Space Issac used his training as a Space Boxer to beat the necromorphs down :3).

Also anyone else pick up Silent Hill: Downpour? Loving that game right now, smoothed out but still clunky combat, great atmosphere. It's definatly a Silent Hill game <3

1.Games that are "hardcore" are usually just "hardcore" in ascetics.
2. Actual Hardcore games are Hardcore due to a combination of a sharp learning curve and deep, complex gameplay.

3. The Title of "Hardcore" gamer is determined by time and energy invested in any number of games.Despite Pokemon being a "kiddie" game this guy [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=76061] is more hardcore than you ever will be in Call of Duty because he spends his time writing algorithms for competative pokemon battling in microsoft excel.

Not true, not at all. Just because I'm not putting up with EA's tyranny doesn't mean I can't complain about the damnable flight of stairs they've thrown modern gaming down. The repercussions are undeniable within the world of gaming, regardless of whether or not you have to play the games or not; you can't seriously posit that the "if I close my eyes it'll go away and I won't have to deal with it lalallala" mentality is valid here.

Prepare to have your intelligence insulted when you play Red Steel 2 for the first time.

Actively comparing a new game you've bought to something you think it should be like will set you up for disappointment. Do your best to enjoy it as it is without any preconceptions!

First gamer rule.

In every Pokemon game there are different designs but each game follows the same idea.

There are simple designs.

There are complicated designs.

There are designs based of animals and legendary creatures.

There are designs based of objects.

You aren't expected to like all of them, but if there is one thing that all gamers must know, it's this.

There are 649 Pokemon, deal with it.

Also it's not about what a Pokemon looks like, but what it can do in battle. (My own personal gamer rule.)

Now for my second gamer rule.

I am fully aware that people are going to disagree with me and that's just fine.

Also.

This is very true, especially horror games, like Resident Evil. You never know when you might fuck up and end up in a place of no return.

I have a couple here :

1. Don't pirate games if you respect their makers and want them to continue their good work.
2. Refraining from using "cheap" tactics or items (ie. Noobtube) in multiplayer games is a self imposed challenge, not a universal rule.
3. Don't be a bully. There's real people on the other side of the screen. People you can harm with your words as much as if you punched them in the face.
4. Before buying a really expensive game (depending on wealth, obviously), make sure you know what you're buying. Trust me, I hated myself for buying FFXIII full price without reading any review or comments just because I wanted the NEW FINAL FANTASY ON THE PS3 OMG THIS LOOKS SO GOOD!! Now it resides on the shelf like a fancy $60 dust particle collector.

Cheers!
