Infamous is as bland as a Linkin Park album (same fanbase).

I chuckled at that =D

Deus Ex (2000) - a game that pushes the boundaries of what the video game medium is capable of to a degree unmatched to this very day.

you weakling! traitor!



Great OP. I think many of us, myself included, need to take a break from this site now and then and reevaluate why we play the games that we do, and why we play games in general.



"My taste is better than yours" huh? Sorry, although I personally prefer a great variety of games myself I just can't see how this thread is any more mature than the people who won't play games that "look childish".

In 3 years when you're buying a next gen console, I will be there to call you a hypocrite. Just prepare yourself for that moment.

no I WILL buy a next gen console, I'm not saying I'm quitting gaming all together, I still enjoy it, its still a hobby of mine, but I will not be a "Hardcore gamer" , but my reason of buying them isn't going to be Killzone or Titanfall, or "EPICSORS gamez!"

I think you're being very dishonest with yourself. I don't buy products in which I "barely" have interest. Not buying a next gen console isn't quitting gaming either. There are many other platforms upon which to enjoy gaming.

Acknlowedging that you will be purchasing a next gen console confirms my suspicions.

With that said, I certainly understand not being a "hardcore" gamer for any of a variety of reasons.  


If you want to overcome stupidity maybe you need to understand the argument first, don't you think?



I like Mario Kart.

I didn't say anything about that, In fact I'm saying the opposite.

Yeah thats basically it, self centered manchildren who thinks everyone is wrong for doing things that they don't.

The irony here is that's exactly how you sounded in your OP.  Exactly.

Like the things you like, stop whining about the things you don't.

I mean, look at your last paragraph:

"Stuff I don't like is basically every hyped game nowadays, all PS4 and Xbox One exclusives are barely interesting, Titan Fall is generic as fuck, Killzone is more of the same, Ryse is just... bad, Infamous is as bland as a Linkin Park album (same fanbase), Driveclub and Forza the only reason people are hyped for them because they're exclusive."

God damn.  How entitled and self-centered is that.  You don't like those games?  I've got a fantastic solution for you--don't fucking worry about them.  YOU are EXACTLY what you've complaining about, a person who has to attack and run down anything they have no interest in.  Why do people like you have to think that their interests are automatically superior?  Even then, why feel the need to attack other things?  Elitism over gaming tastes is just bloody ridiculous.



One of the few time i didn't shake my head reading Pullus post. So, i guess i respect your viewpoint if not fully agree. You must feel great getting my partial approval.
