Hello fellow Escapists, first time poster, long time fan of the site, and I figure, "What better way to start ones forum history then with a post that is likely to nab some attetion?"
Well I shall say what i think is truly wrong with gaming, as i see it, if you think i am wrong, go ahead, think so, just read it is all I care, and maybe some posts.
As i see it, there is one major thing wrong with gaming, gamers.
Yes you read that right, gamers.
Gamers commonnly are entitled, spoil, crybaby, pigheaded, stubborn, egotistically, and just plain think there right even when there wrong.
Of course this isn't the only thing wrong, but it is really really big, and gaming will not progress unless we better oursevles.
Fans, haters, ragers, trollers, you get the point, are really not good for gaming, on the inside or outside, on the outside, it makes us look like childern you have grown up, but haven't matured. On the inside, well you see the result on any given gaming forum thoughout the day.
Now i could go on and on about what needs to be fixed, but i rather just sum it up like this: We need to learn how to be tolerant of others, gamers or otherwise, we also need to be tolerant of games themsevles.
You know what i talking about, fans defending or basing what they love or don't love.
I shall say it myself, i dislike cod because I find it bland and boring, but to people who love the game, go ahead play it, your not affecting me. See thats i am saying don't bash someone because they do not like a game you like and like you hate, unless you live with them, accept they choice in gameign and hopefully there accept yours. treat them like you would want to be treated.
Fans is more thorny, but i shall say this, fans, stop being entitled brats who think because a game has changed its worse. Like before i shall use an example. Mass effect 2 and Mass effect, i love both games, but i find Mass Effect 2 better in a few ways, the combat, charaters, and story. In mass effect 1 the combat started out a bit like mass effect 2, cover based shooting, but by mid game you would become a walking tank, 2 or 3 shoting most foes, whereas mass effects 2 combat, though less vaired, at less didn't become a cakewalk haflway though the game. Of the squad, i only loved tali and wrex, once i have gotten them I used no one else, i would have even left both ashly and kadien on virmire if I had the chance. Meanwhile in mass effect 2, i love kasumi, Mordin, grunt, tali, legion, and Samara, so the characters would more varied, and also even the poster ones, (thane and Miranda) were better then they Mass Effect 1 counterparts. The story is were most of you are going like "wtf your wrong mass effect 1 story is way better" That is partly correct, mass effect 2 suffers from being the middle of a 3 part series. However i find one part of the game rather effected in telling the true theat of the collectors and reapers, and what depths the reapers will sink to to finish their goals. When you learn of happened to last few Potheans, its rather shocking, i mean was it enough for your race to reduced to 5% of population, and then that last bit gets turned into little more then slaves, lsoing all their soul to be little more then a scouting force for the reapers, with no memory of their past lives? The only thing that could be worse is to have you race crushed, then revive as undead as far as I can think. Then seeing the inside of the collector is big enough to fit every human in the Milky way? and this is just what the reapers' call a scouting force? Mass effect 2 in its own way tells us about what reapers will do to get their goals done, and you gamers flat out don't see it? but other then that, is suffer " I am the middle part of a 3 part series, thats why".
So fans, when a games changes, don't fight, embrace it, or at least accept it.
And that's all I shall right, for now, lets see what happens yes?
