Forums - Gaming - The Real Gamer Oath!

As a Real Gamer, I hereby solomely swear to never again buy(at least at full price) a mediocre game. We will no longer settle for trash spued to us by game developers just so they can make a quick buck. I will no longer buy any game at full price unless it is AAA or at least AA. Only these sorts of games warrent our hard earned cash. If we are to continue to buy games at 10 dollars more then last Gen, then we DEMAND that our games get more effort put into them. We demand that all MultiPlatform games stop being gimped on either system only to appease the console developers. Shall it be written, shall it be done.

Edit:

For those who are mentally brain damaged and cannot tell when something is opinion, here is my list of what AAA,AA, and Mediocre games are. Quality is still subjective to a particular person's liking. What my issue is people buying games that they know might be kinda bad or not up to snuff even though general consensus and reviews say the same thing.

AAA Titles This Gen:

Halo 3

Metal Gear Solid 4

Call of Duty 4

Super Mario Galaxy

God of War Chains of Olympus

Final Fantasy VII Crisis Core

Final Fantasy IV

Bioshock

Legend of Zelda:Phantom Hour Glass

AA Titles:

Heavenly Sword

Assassin's Creed

Mass Effect

Guitar Hero III

Rock Band

The World Ends With You

Pokemon

Brain Age

Jeanne D'Arc

Mediocre Titles:

Lair

The Orange Box(PS3 Version)

Haze

Too Human

Blue Dragon

Ninja Gaiden II

Wii Shovel Ware (Not even worth remembering)

Mario game number 23239323223223

Liscense Games (Movies, Comic Books, Books, ect)

Annual Sports Games (rarely becomes AA)

I write this today becuase I am sick and tired of the poor games shoved down our throats. We succumb to buying this trash only because we have nothing else to play. Well I say no more, we need to stand against poor game development. This can only be done by not supporting poor games at all.

I did put the World Ends with You in there. I simply gave a few examples. It is not to depict every single AAA, AA, or Mediocre game out there. It was only to give a general idea of what I mean.

AAA, and AA games are worth your money, Mediocre games are not.

Of course, the quality of a game is always a matter of taste.
This also discounts the concept of games as art. Many developers may attempt to create an experience worth having, but sometimes fall short to some.

I think you forgot all of the truly mediocre games on the market, many of them a result of strict time-lines where developers are only looking to cash in. Like movie licenses and yearly-iterative games... these are more likely to not be worth the money.

Just my two cents...



Twewy is AAA



IMO, FF: Crisis Core is not AAA, but I haven't played IV. Otherwise, the AAA titles list works. Add Bioshock for AAA and Orange Box on PS3 is not mediocre, would still be AAA along with 360 version.
