Shooters get bashed by those people who mostly play jrpg:s/platformers and such. They don't like a game which they have to compete against real people, since it reminds them of their childhood. Oh those nasty schoolyard games.


I'd assumed it was because both of these are popular and appear to be a major driving force in the industry but they aren't a direction that those gamers like/agree with.  Hell I'm pretty bored with shooters and it's unfortunate that they seem to be the majority of games moving forward, and I dislike Kinect just as much as I dislike Wii and Move motion controls because it's just not the type of gaming I like, and it's unfortunate to see the industry moving towards those as well.  

But hey, maybe you're right, maybe it's because we're all nerds and were bullied in school.  I know I was, but then I kinda thought most people who love something like gaming since childhood were a bit nerdy.  Kinda sad that now the nerdy pastime is being taken up by people like you so I can't assume comradery with every person I meet with the same love of gaming.    

 

TLDR: 1. Don't want industry to move towards shooters and motion gaming as a whole.

2. you suck.

I did not say that someone is a nerd. I could have as well said that the jrpg gamers were the bullies and they have cured from that and do not want to be reminded of their nasty past.

I guess that your second short point is not ok to reply with the same tone. That is just rude.
