Forums - Gaming - This generation seems WAY TOO PERSONAL, IMHO

madskillz on 26 October 2009

I am just sitting back, shaking my head at folks. It really seems, online and offline, that folks are way too sensitive about their consoles. I can't ever recall seeing so much passion for a console choice - and threats - verbally and physically - toward naysayers.

Why? Don't people realize in the end, it's just a game?

As much as I like my consoles, it's not family - not a loved one - and will be tossed aside next generation, the same way my PS2 is no longer my main console.

You betrayed your system!?! You should be ashamed.


On a serious note. Yes they have. People want their system in other people's hands. They don't bother with others and think they are inferior. What do we call them? I know its starts with a F

When 99% of the gaming world says shit on your system, calling it dead, calling the company stupid and the fanboys ridiculous, you can bet that in the end it will get personal :P



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

I think you got it all in that post madskillz.

Most gamers nowadays have trully been disconnected with the spirit of gaming, they no longer enjoy the games for what they are, rather for them being on their console of choice and other people who don't have that console are inferior to them.

One of the things that saddens me, is that you cannot even give an honest reply to a game of a rival console that you immediatly get attacked as being affiliated in some sort with that console.

I've been gaming since a Spectrum ZX, and while in the SNES/GEN and PS2/Dreamcast generations, things got out of hands sometimes, it was never like it is right now.

People are taking this business way too personal, like it existed only because they will it to be. You should enjoy games for what they are, all games, instead of trying to make petty wars and conflicts just because of some corporation's sake.

I destroyed your plan and saved the day Also you won't buy pikmin 3. You'll trade in your ps3 and your wii. Since pikmin is worth more than all systems this generation(maybe even combined)
