Well I am not too sure what it is that I read. To me it sounded like a bunch of babies either bashing a game for being pretty damn good. And if that was not what it was doing then it was uplifting, this same game that others would like to bash and acting as if it is the god of all video games.
I would like to say that I agree with what Adam Sessler said about people trying to be a little more mature. First of all Kill Zone seems to be ok, I do not know nor do I care. But I do however hate fanboys and fangirls. They are absolutely annoying in just about everything that they do. They do not know how to just like something; these people seem to have to take it to the next level and beyond. I am a serious Sony fan. But I do not hassle people for owning an XBox 360 or a Wii. I just simply say, I do not care for that system. I do not understand why people feel the need to get so bent out of shape.
It does not make any sense for people to get so upset about this that they say that people are lying or have been bribed just because a video game on the Play Station 3 system got a good game rating. I think that it is pretty stupid for people to get this worked up over something. Just because you are a fan of something and thing that you are not a fan of does something good is not a good reason for going into a blind mad rage. People really need to calm down over things. People seem to like getting unusually angry over something that is not even that big of deal in the first place.
This game is not the only thing that has came out on the Play Station 3 to get a really good review. Furthermore, there are many video games that have come out on the XBox 360 that has also gotten a very good review. Though no one looks at that, they all want to just look at the bad things about a video game and act like somebody had to pay them to say that a game is good. Like Ben Kuchera said about the gamers who act like people pay for a good review, it sounds crazy because it is.

And point taken! People do get bent out of shape for what really seems to be nothing at all. Ok so you liked the game and it came out on PS3 well thats good. Like you said you are a Sony person and you dont really like to get into debates about which system is better! Good there is reason to what so ever. TO EACH THEIR OWN! I believe is how the saying goes....I have played Nintendo and I have played Sony. I being a person not into videogames in the first place like them both. They bring a different kind of entertainment value to me. Wii is fun interaction and Sony is fun in itself just becuase. So should be be polite and say "Please dont get your panties in a bunch!" :)
ReplyDeleteIt is crazy how some people get worked up over the silliest things. It is like when you bash their game or their system, you kicked their puppy. (poor puppy!) It would be better if people could take cristim as being constuctive verses degrading and use it to make a better game, or a better system.
ReplyDelete"It does not make any sense for people to get so upset about this ..."
ReplyDeleteActually, I really think that it does. For a lot of people, the type of game they play and the console they play them on is a defining aspect of their personality. Arguably, it can even be a dominating aspect of their personality, and I think that this sort of thing occurs due to the desire of most people to be a part of something larger and more significant than themselves as an individual. What fanboys/girls are exhibiting is the same sort of fervor that comes from intense nationalism and extremist religious movements - that drive to express not only that your cause is entirely right, but that the opposition is entirely wrong. Thankfully, this hasn't really come down to blows, and due to the impersonal and international nature of these flame wars I don't see that occuring anytime soon.
Here's the thing though: to say that their frustrations are "nothing at all" is to misunderstand the problem. In some cases, the adoration of these fans is similar to the adoration a Christian might have for their religion - but we don't question Christians, or members of another faith, when they become offended when their faith is attacked. So why is it so bizarre and mysterious to people that gamers get very passionate about their games? To some, both videogames and religion are transient components of life; but to some, they are life-defining, passion-creating fixtures of lifestyle, and should be looked at as such.
