If you're not buying GTA 4 that's up to you... if you see yourself as a gamer thats what you are, you don't need to like what the majority likes to be one or to buy what they buy.... personally I can say I ain't buyin it either, I haven't been a fan of GTA I've preferred the movie spin offs instead like Scarface and Godfather

Khell-Sennet: There are only 5 games that disliking makes you a non-gamer, the five heralds of their genres... Nothing says you must buy them, but much like the Caesars of Rome, you can worship any game you like so long as you also worship the Caesars (these games)...

X-Com: UFO Defense (PC), Lord of Turn Based Strategy and patron saint of Base Design

Doom (PC), Son of Wolfenstein and Blake Stone... Lord of First Person perspectives, high priest of horror.

Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, Lord of Real-Time warfare and king of Easter Eggs.

Final Fantasy I, the Eternal mistress, Lady of Role Playing and queen of Sequels.

Earth Siege, God of Simulations and supreme ruler of customization.

Who are yo to say these games make some one a gamer? I can't stand Warcraft yet I'm a gamer... and I loathe all final fantasy games with a passion, the irritible random fights... you attack this I'll attack that and so will Bob.... oh look my sword, that is fifty times bigger than my TV, missed that gigantic, 500 times bigger than the sword, Dragon

No, you're STILL a gamer.

Not buying one or two titles that everyone else is does not make you any less of a gamer. Heck, I'm not exactly desperately seeking GTA IV either, I've got too much more on my list.

When you get the feeling you don't want to touch ANY games of ANY kind, then you might no longer be a gamer.

GTA 4 is cool looking but I'm not buying it either. Dare you accuse me of not being a gamer as well?

I personally think it is a game worth buying. But I don't play the Final Fantasy games(or any other japanese rpg for that matter) that everyone on this forum seems to think are so great. Does that mean I am not a gamer? I have wasted alot of money if that is the case.

Third year film and journalism degree?

I'm sure that will get you a GREAT job.

Have fun wasting your life, moron. If you actually want to be successful in your life, I'd suggest trying a degree that isn't worthless. But it's probably too late for that, and if you're stupid enough to take a useless degree in the first place, you couldn't handle a real one anyway.
...way to be a dick man.

Please, check your elitist nonsense at the door on the way into the forums. You see, people are different. In life you will encounter many people who have made different life decisions to you. Whether it be down to personal circumstances or a fundamental difference in interests. It is important to remember that if these people weren't doing the jobs that they do, then society would collapse and there would be no way for you to do your amazing, life fulfilling job. And remember, if everyone was like you...who would you have to look down your nose at and feel superior to, in order to validate yourself as a human being. But carry on being your wonderful self, for you are what we should all aspire to be, my capitalist hero who believes every inane piece of bullshit he has ever been told about what true success in life is. I am sure your parents are very proud of your achievements and that you went on the internet to tell someone you never met that they are a waste of space, good for you.

See. I can be PATRONISING too. Lots of love. Panda. xoxo

First of all, you should never feel bad for placing priority on schoolwork over gaming. Video games are nice, but being successful is even nicer.

Secondly, you don't have to buy GTAIV to be a gamer. A gamer is just someone who loves and plays video games. That's it.

I hold a deep love for games and where they will go in the future as a viable art form, but recently I've come to a decision that will eradicate my stature as a 'gamer'. You see, I'm in third year journalism and film and video, which is a *****, and well, due to this I am doing something...shocking.

I am not buying GTAIV

If I don't buy this game, can I be considered a gamer anymore? When did my schoolwork take priority over gaming, and does that disqualify me from ever showing my face in here again?

Discuss.
Same here. Well, I'm putting it off. I'm in a film class too, and I have a big, big project to finish over the next couple weeks, so I won't be seeing Niko's face till then.
Trust me, it's painful.

Haha, you can't even disagree, because even a moron like you knows its true.

Why so offended? Probably because you have no future either. None of you shut ins do.
This seems like an obvious question, but if you hate us and think we have no future, then why are you here?

Can't you see the irony in posting shit like this? You're the one spending your time going on internet forums just to insult people.
