Really? Most of the so-called hardcore gamers I know can't read or write to save their lives and there is nothing really hardcore about them...

WHAT?! You don't want other people to have fun playing games?

You cannot let anyone else play games just because you have been gaming since you were 5. Right. Ok anyone who weren't playing games when they were 5 please stop playing as you are not, I repeat , are not gamers and are not allowed to play games.

Thats called arrogance.

May I ask, what was the first game you ever played?

Must of been something hardcore.

I agree with madkiller. Nintendo's not what it used to be. But well, Sony and MS are in the industry too, so it's not a real problem.

Thank you God of gaming for showing us the light. Thank you for revealing to us who your chosen people are.

Blessed be the Halo 3.
All hail the brown and grey FPSs.

Death to the infidel Wii and it's casual franchises.
Let us burn out the eyes of those who worship these non-HD idols.
Let us chop off our sisters and mothers hands if they dare to wave the wiimote.
May the expanded audience burn in the giant red rings of death for all of eternity.

Don't forget anyone not playing games at the age of 5. They aren't hardcore.

Well my parents owned an arcade in the 80s when I was born, I use to live in there before I was 5 and played games.

So based on your lame qualifications of a gamer, I out rank you. Hence you are not a gamer. Now that we established that I out rank you I forbid you from playing video games.

Can you see how lame and retarded I just sounded then?

There are many people in this world who have gone through poverty, wars etc… and only recently at an older age have discovered gaming because they have been fortunate enough to come as refugees to Australia where I am. So am I meant to stand at the immigration office telling them they can’t play video games unless they are 5 years old?

You have absolutely no idea what revolutionary means do you? NES was revolutionary, SNES was evolutionary, N64 saw the analogue stick come in, GCN evolved on that design. Wii revolutionised the way games are played. Next gen Nintendo will evolve that control scheme and beef up the power.

You are not a gamer, you’re a scared adult living at home almost hitting 30 feeling neglected by Nintendo because they are making you do a bit more then button mesh. They have made it that when you bring your friends over your mum’s house, that she can even kick your ass as the controls are more user friendly for all levels of gamer. Does the fact she beats you make you feel like a retard in front of your friends?

If you were a gamer you would accept different forms of gaming and adapt to them. After all you have three choices, just because you don’t like one doesn’t give you the right to slam people trying to get into gaming via different control interface forms.

I was playing games when I was 3 years old, so I'm obviously better than this guy. Anyone who didn't play games until after they turned 3 aren't real gamers and should stay the hell away from video games. LOGICAL ARGUMENT IS LOGICAL.
