BECAUSE I DIDN'T WASTE A TON OF MONEY ON DUKE NUKEM LIKE SOME OTHER PEOPLE THAT DON'T FOLLOW THE VIDEOGAME SCENE.

You have no right to throw Wii-fit into the argument. In fact, you are not even arguing against me as I have made no statements implying the opposite. Also, I have never excplicitly called myself a 'hardcore gamer' as I think using this terminology is lame and uncecessary.

NOW IF YOU SAY THERE IS NO BENEFIT AS A CONSUMER TO KNOWING THE VG INDUSTRY WELL THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!?

EDIT:

''Your choice is based on what you want to play and his/her choice is based on what he/she wants to play. Your preference regarding videogames does not reflect your intelligence.''

So you are ACTUALLY saying that the choices some of the guys that have been on this website for 3/4/5 years are NO better than someone who casually buys a PS3!? I am sorry, but the WHOLE point of VG websites is disappearing before my eyes.

When I was 11 I made a major mistake in my life. It was Christmas, and I had had my PSOne for a year and a half or so. Games were VERY expensive and I got maybe 5 or 6 per year. I made the unfortunate decision of buying 'Tomorrow Never Dies'. My dad wasted a big chunk of cash on that steaming pile of crap, SIMPLY because I couldn't make a better decision due to lack of knowledge. If you don't see how this happens in the gaming industry, or your convoluted use of the word 'intelligence' is standing in the way of you realizing this simple fact then I think this discussion is rather meaningless.

You know, I'm not even sure if you read everything I write.


I think you're projecting too much of your own dislike for some of these games on other people ...

If someone thoroughly enjoys a game they purchased with their own money why would anyone consider their purchase of that game a mistake? If they don’t have an option of buying a better game in a similar genre, why are they demeaned for buying a game you may not approve of?

No-one thoroughly enjoyed Duke Nukem.
