Now you're being ridiculous. You're comparing air headed media whores to someone who just has a different opinion to yourself. MTV dating shows is nothing like enjoying a good jRPG. jRPGs are 99.9% of the time more intelligent.
I started the new Kingdom Hearts game. The controls SUCK. The PS2 controller is NOT the same as the PSP. The joystick is a lot closer to the directional pad. So comparing it to the PS2 is a pointless argument. So it works great for you. Great. Doesn't mean it is for everyone else.
I like the story so far. Yeah the first one was simple, yeah it's different now, but Mario isn't the same as it was. Metroid sure as hell has evolved and changed from the basically faceless platformer it used to be. The game is growing, evolving, making it's own lore. You don't complain when the Halo books come out and flesh out the game universe. This is how they choose to do it. We don't have much control in how they make games. But we can like what we like.
I am tired of reading you completely demeaning someone because they like something different than you. It's one thing to say you disagree but comparing him to something that you mean obviously in a negative character destroying way is so childish I can't just read it anymore without saying something. Be more mature about this. People always disagree.
You can define what YOU think is wrong with games. But you don't have a right to say that about one person. Saying "FPS games are stupid" isn't a personal attack. Telling someone "Thinks YOU like are why all new video games are [parasitic bomb]" is not okay. So just learn what an opinion is. And start respecting other people's. I'm not just talking about with Ares either.
For this kind of answers, is why the internet invented the "U Mad" response. =P
I'm just messing around with the dude. Learn to chill. He is. And he's giving me good responses all over that show that he's beneath pointless bickering.
lol Twilight. I'll never understand that [parasitic bomb].
And well, it takes all kinds really. I think the majority of Gaming Community now is so [tornado fang]ing stupid it drives me apeshit. But I realize without those drug induced nutcases, I wouldn't be where I am now, holding a PSP playing stuff that actually appeals to me. (currently enjoying Valkyria Chronicles 2 with all my heart)
I'm not sorry for what I like, not ashamed for being unable to click with the majority of gamers... because I can still appreciate things that SANE gamers appreciate. A good platformer like Mario. The Zelda Series, Metroid (anything not Prime based) and the majority of the old Final Fantasies. I appreciate the classics. I appreciate a lot of the things most RPMers like, which consist MOSTLY of Classic Gamers (aside from you new bloods, of course, which are a diverse bunch. Not that that is bad really).
All in all, I am me. No more, no less. And I love gaming as much as you do or the next person. I just love it in a different way.
Twilight is a fantastic phenomenon. You know the Hero's Journey? The prototype for every single adventure ever? Meyer basically (and probably unknowingly) created the same sort of prototype in a story that mirrors all fanfics ever. When a 13-year old (or someone with the maturity of such) is reading something like it, it's as if they're reading their own fanfic, starring THEM. It's accidental genius, I tell ya.
And sure, there you go, with Valkyria Chronicles and the opther games you show, you get the usual standards of gaming. And I'm not a new blood. =P I started on the 8-bit generation, just like alot of other people, with a Master System, and worked my way through there. I just kinda hate it when people start acting like old men and say everything's [parasitic bomb], old stuff is great. Stuff evolves. We gotta evolve with it. The FPS genre is really not one of my favorites, although I like playing it. I defend it fervorously, because I think it holds amazing merit, and it's a natural part of evolution. People bash it because they refuse to understand it or give it place on the natural evolution of games.
