i am genuinely shocked that in this day and age, a game getting between 80-85 is considered disappointing..
I prefer the old scale i used as a kid when reading magazines.
"0-50" - I'll play it but only if its cheap
"50-60" - I want to play this!
"60-100" - Time to die piggybank!

And that was when i even bothered to look at scores, most times I would make my purchases based on the screenshots on the back of the box, or when those were not visible (yey casettes), I could pick a game entirely on the boxart.

"Gamers" these days are a bunch of whining entitled morons.

When is the last time you saw a thread about playing a game where people contributed and actually got along?, most threads are bitching, whining, one-uping, trolling or worse, the few that start out trying to be engaging and interesting are torn to shit by people who just want to argue the toss over which console is better, Hell i've done the same myself on numerous occasions, that doesn't however mean the observation is wrong.

I stand by what i said.

I totally agree with most of what you said.

I would like to note though that there are forums where theres some good just discussion going on. The Official NeoGaf threads usually have very litle console warriors.

VgChartz is absolutly filled with console warriors though.

It comes with the entire setup of VGChartz in general.

A site focussed on sales will directly bring a more competitive nature to the people who frequent it. Anyone can sign up at any time with any email. Penny Arcade forums are also good for actual videogame discussion rather than "My platform is better because" discussion.

Yes, but you put it in such that it comes off incredibly douchy, albeit completely on point. Fanboys will be fanboys. You really think your observation has not been made before? We all know we are a bunch of whiny fucks, every single one of us and that's just the way we like it. We love arguing about shit we had nothing to do, we enjoy bashing each over trivial shit and we pitch tents when the opposing teams get shit on for a dissapointing game or bad PR from some corporate idiot who is out of touch with gamers.

This site would be really fucking boring if we all just sat around, circlejerking each other in support and peace, singing kumbaya. I know, you know, the mods know it and every other biased fanboy on this site KNOWS IT.

Yeah and oddly many VGC users regularly talks down in regards to GAF (many of which regularly complain about the negativity around here). I enjoy the discussions there, plus they aren't rabid mobile haters either. At least over there we can have threads for great mobile titles like Brave Frontier.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

A normal person can do more than bitch or pander. There is this thing called discussion that actual makes interesting conversations as opposed to just immature whining and screaming that x thing is better than y thing because of some shallow reason. 



I dunno the originals are among my top favorite games from the ps3... I'm excited to play the new installment later. I think was expecting / predicted about an 85 at best... personally though I'll have to play it first, but if it were exactly like the second game in the series i'd give it at least an 88

Well, make a thread and sticky it because a lot of us don't know about these...conversations?
