| Gelmer said: MMOs aren't exactly my ideal of good gaming, I see them more as a safe guard to keep the socially inept preocupied 24/7 so they can't interact socially with normal people. Of course as long as its something Nintendo won't or can't have, HUS is going to act like its the most important thing in the world. |
Thats an awfully jaded view. Have you ever played an MMO before? MMO's are popular BECAUSE of the socialization, not necessarily because of the gameplay. Seriously, most MMO's only have decent gameplay, the community is what makes them fun.
Of course they have their fair share of socially inept players, but no more than Halo online or Unreal Tournament does. I used to play Everquest in a guild that was full of professionals, including several lawyers and at least one doctor...there may have been a judge as well but I can't remember, it was a few years ago.
Just because you can't see the people you're playing with doesn't make you and the rest of them anti-social nerds living in their parents basement.
edit: I could just as easily look at your avatar and assume you need to look at barely clothed anime because you can't meet girls in real life...but that wouldn't be fair of me so I wouldn't do it. Peoples preferences for games or anything else have nothing to do with their social skills.
