Announcements That Could Destroy Gaming Culture

[Sneaklemming]

"Microsoft announces it is no longer supporting the PC as a gaming platform, and all gaming PC's will be rendered obsolete in two weeks"

That is the day I become a Buddhist Monk.

ah... Microsoft dont support PC games anymore... they officially gave up on Games for windows live.

Yeah, but developers still make games for PC. What I'm talking about is if (I know this is impossible) Microsoft somehow made Windows not support video games at all.

ah yeah, i can see it now, windows 8, the closed operating system.

It would pretty much ruin PC gaming.

Ummm....

"US bans M-rated video games due to surge in youth violence"

Yes becuase nerds are so violent, we just like to beat people up and take there luch money.

NERDS UNITE!

 

[RatRace123]

All the world's game designers suddenly get abducted by aliens who want to play video games.

All hope is lost, our culture dies.

"Valve being shut down. Steam taken offline for good."

That would suck so much. I am gonna have nightmares now.

"Gaming outlawed in every country across the world".

Top THAT.

"Electricity outlawed in every country across the world."

"In recent news, its just been descovered that every gaming console ever made in the past 10 years can be simultaneoulsy blown up with the push of this button, while others remain skeptical about this, we here at (insert global news channel name here) have decided to find out for ourselves so we brought an Xbox 360 in the studio today to test it out *presses button* "

"Team Ninja will develop the next Call of Duty, Forza, Half Life and Bioshock games for the next 10 decades."

My nose started bleeding while writing that. Not a word of a lie.

"Valve being shut down. Steam taken offline for good."

That wouldn't be a bad thing. All Valve has done is Half-Life, Half-Life remakes, and a program that forced itself onto my hard drive.

"Team Ninja will develop the next Call of Duty, Forza, Half Life and Bioshock games for the next 10 decades."

Hmmm... *nosebleed* ah crap... wait, Bioshock? *imagines splicers and big sisters if Team Ninja were to do them* ... *brain bleeds*

"Bioware, Activision/Blizzard, and Valve have simultaneously gone bankrupt..."

Wouldn't affect me in the slightest... I might even cheer a little.

OP: The world becomes aware of a frightening truth, after everyone has taken the red pill...

Mmmkay, then, what games DO you play, and are excited for?

Hmm, let's see:
Anything made by NIS.

Demon's Souls was IMO the best RPG of 2009 (clearly better than DA:O) [note: I got both games for X-Mas, and played one after the other, so the comparison was quite apt for me]

Don't like FPS's at all and Shooters in general (so ME, L4D, TF, etc, I couldn't care less)

Online downloads of Video games is bad for consumers. I like hard copies (Don't care about Steam). Not to mention Valve's stance on the PS3... *cough* talentless hacks *cough*

Excited for God of War 3, Nier, Last Rebellion, Fallout: New Vegas, Valkyria Chronicles 2 and FFXIII.

I would have to argue that Valve is pretty damn good. I would have to say they have yet to make a game I dislike. So I wouldn't be so quick to simply call them talentless hacks. Besides, I find the PS3 to be overrated (like most Sony products anyway).

Everyone! Get your fireshields and brace yourselves, we've got a full-on shitstorm coming this way!

Seriously, although Valve are great game developers, that of which I shall defend to my last breath, I still think they are a bit fanboyish about not making things for the PS3, "hard to code for", my ass! Also, I think the PS3 is also, while still being a very good machine, still just a bit overrated.

I have a good one.

"Madcatz will now be making all video game controlers"

/trend

Dear god....I almost cried.

oh, but the good news is that the controlers would only cost 4 bucks a pop

But you'll go through 12 a week.
