Why This Generation of Gamer is Pathetic

Before I begin, I will list my credentials between me, graphics and gaming. The first console I ever played was a Nintendo 64. The second I played was an NES.

We are currently in the 7th generation of home video game consoles. The XBOX 360, Wii and Playstation 3 are all "competing for 'next gen' supremacy". Yes, another generation, another 5 years of nerds fighting with each other on an ever increasing scale thanks to the internet, but what makes this generation interesting is how pathetic "gamers" are becoming. Now, let's jump all the way back to gaming's infancy.

After Atari caused the American games market to crash in 1983, mainstream gaming was practically extinct in the West. Meanwhile, in the East Nintendo launched their Family Computer (FAMICOM). Gaming was still preserved in the US with PC gaming on the Commodore 64 (1982) and Sinclair ZX Spectrum (1982). At the time, this was considered gaming's "hardcore" market. Well informed computer users that couldn't be fooled by companies that year after year produced bad games. Computer gaming however, was considered a niche and real money was to be had selling mainstream (or today's casual) video game console platforms. This presented many problems as now people who were less informed would buy bad games and not really know about the company or if they were bad until they actually played them (sound familiar?).

The NES debuted in North America in 1985, being praised for its amazing graphics for its time. SEGA then released the Genesis in 1989, bashing the NES for being graphically superior and in 16-bit. Arguably, SEGA was out-done 2 years later with the release of the SNES, with superior sound compared to the Genesis.

As time goes on, technology gets better, "Console Wars" get bigger, and gamers become less about gaming and more about verbally fighting with each other. This generation is no different. These "hardcore" "gamers" think that they're all high and mighty, buying a "technologically superior" console and essentially having a fight over who has the biggest e-penis. Meanwhile true, sensible gamers who play games to actually have fun (something these games were designed to fucking do) are being overshadowed by assholes who play 2 games on 360/PS3 and all of a sudden call themselves "hardcore". Well guess what, they're not. They're just pathetic fanboys who are so disgruntled by their console's offerings that they have to attack others who have something else, like a bunch of whining babies.

These crazy loons are so focused on self-entitlement and "demanding" companies produce the same old shit year in and year out they make Jack Thompson seem like a reasonable guy in comparison. These "gamers" will go out and buy the same game every year and whenever something new and different comes out, they IGNORE IT. These fucking crybabies will complain and whine whenever a company doesn't fulfill their wishes that are hyped beyond belief that what is presented to them is never "enough". A true fan will hope for some things, and if they don't get fulfilled, you know what they do? They hold that wishing for next time and look at what's RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM. A true gamer will not label games as "core" and "casual" and try to play only "core" titles. True fans and gamers will play anything so long as it's a game and they think it's good. That is the industry we need to have, not this pathetic one that will whine and bitch about there never being "core" titles on Wii and whenever such a "core" title comes out they never buy it and complain "it's not a game for me". Well fuck you. Stop playing games and get a job. If you don't like what you see, then GTFO.

I've said before that this generation of gamer has made me lose all hope in humanity and this has been further cemented today, when a 23 year old PS3 fanboy tries to tell ME that sales don't matter and people are gonna buy a more powerful system. That's wrong on so many levels, especially considering the PS2 was extremely underpowered compared to GCN and XBOX and sold incredibly well compared to those 2 consoles.

The future of the industry is looking bleak. Hopefully there will be a turn around. Maybe one day people will actually appreciate you have a different console than them and ACTUALLY PLAY IT WITH YOU and stop fighting over which is better. Each console has it's strengths and weaknesses and none is better than another. And stop trying to say X company is gonna win the console wars. I will reiterate, the only companies who will win the console war will be IBM, ATi and nVidia. So go out, buy/rent an interesting game, and enjoy it, no matter which console you have.

Casual Games Exist: AND I CAN'T TAKE IT!!!

Beware all Fellow Gamers, for a new evil is on the rise.Casual games. We totally l33t harcore pwn3rz are now susceptible to the evil might of Nintendo and their casual "disease"

Casual games were invented by Nintendo somewhere around the exact same time E3 2008 ended. At first, we didn't notice the disgusting, vile menace, yet somehow, it was always there, waiting to take away our precious hardcore games.

Just the fact that a gaming company decides to market to a demographic different than mine literally fills me with anger. Nintendo have the audacity to be "succesful" and "profitable" Disgusting scum. This was their plan all along. Not to bring games to a wide demographic of people, and making video games have mass market appeal and acceptance (becuase that's just STUPID), NO, it was to drown us in our own insecurity, purely out of spite. Those disgusting swine.


PUTRID FILTH

But why would Nintendo do this you ask? I know why, those selfish, unfeeling COMMUNIST BASTARDS had the SHEER AUDACITY, to be tired of being "in a rut" or "on a slow financial downspiral" If only they could just be comfortable in being a once great gaming giant now at 3rd place. I tell you, the evil, and pure malice that hateful place SHITS OUT on a daily basis makes me sick.

Forget the fact that out of the 29 Nintendo published games on the Wii, only 10 of them are considered casual. The fact that ONE GAME that is publishd by Nintendo that is of the dreaded "casual", exists, ruins the entire system for me. And becuase the system was ruined for me I will personally make sure to post it in every single gaming blog out there, so people know how much an epidemic, such as people having fun, really is!! Forget all the great 3rd party software, such as the masterful No More Heroes, those don't matter right now. You know why? Becuase i have anonymity and the internet: hardcore gamers' greatest weapons.


DISGUSTING




Why can't Nintendo realize that video games aren't about having fun, its about engrossing yourselves in overly violent games, only playing the latest "AAA" HD releases that the wonderful Microsoft markets to us constantly. Because everyone knows that real gamers don't need to look for games that interest them, they know what's good just by looking at the latest advertisements of the latest AAA releases.

Just the image of NORMAL PEOPLE DECIDING TO HAVE FUN MAKES ME BOIL WITH ANGER!! If I saw my mother play a DSi (or should i say DcaSualislame) I will make sure to take them directly to Microsoft and have every generic, bald space marine shoot her down. And there will be lots of blood and gore. All in 1080pHD graphics, you know, JUST HOW GAMES ALWAYS HAVE BEEN (before those disgusting, putrid, fun having casuals came around)

But not to worry, i will make it my sole mission to make sure that video games will forever be vilinized by the media, and to make video games boring again, becuase after all, VIDEO GAMES ARE SERIOUS BUISNESS

Green Gaming and You!

Are you one of those people who leave your computer on all night without even touching it? Is your Wii in standby waiting for messages but you never recieve any? Do you leave your consoles on all night so you can jump right into the game when you wake up? Do you own a PS3? If you said "Yes" to any of the above, then you're obviously killing our planet like a n00b and wasting money on electricity like a bitch.
