*sigh*
I'm rather frustrated right now sooooo I might just have a good old "hate thread"
this is a list of things people say which really really annoy me...see if you agree..or write your own! or whatever!
[b/]1-"I play games for fun!"[/b]
[i/]I don't see why games thease days are so serious and grity..I play games for fun![/i]
this statement usually comes after someone talks about some element they don't like in games like being "gritty/serious/story focused/arty"
so you play games for fun?...well fuck me! that's a new one!....I play games as a form of self punishment...you know I make things as unbearable as possible...hell sometimes I give myself electric shocks every-time I die! just to make it interesting
I mean what are we actually saying here? when I play a game that's all frivolous and silly like saints row I'm having fun...but a game that attempts to tell a story or something serious like Deus Ex I'm.......not?
what the fuck?
no,see its just a stupid thing people say when scoff at the Idea of games trying to be all"serious" or story driven....fun is not the same for everyone..I would have more fun playing a "serious" game than a silly one, its just assuming that your tastes or Idea of fun are universal
[b/]2. people only didn't like it because [insert retarded reason][/b]
[i/]people only didn't like Metroid Other M because samus taliked and people don't like change.[/i]
this is a common one people pull when reacting to the fact that somthing they like has been torn apart...or for other similar situations
you know what? thare reasons that people hate Other M, Starwars Prequels, ME3's ending, the New Dante ect...you don;t have to agree but the least you could do is find it out rather than making shit up
3. [b/] should games?[/b]
[i/]should games be story driven/purely gameplay/have good graphics/deal with issues/have sec in them/have voice acting/have realistic graphics/have styleised graphics/be art[/i]
you know what? [b/]games[/b] as a collective whole [b/]should not be anything[/b] its entirly up to whatever the creators want for their game..if they want somthing that resemables a visual novel more than a game or if they want somhthing thats pure gameplay...
and if they want to make a photorealistic shooty game thats plot heavy and brown well thats all good and well
my point is it just feels like putting some blanket term to apply to all games....yes ok this one is more of a personal pet peeve than anything else I admit, since its mostly just wording
[b/]4. yeah..well men get objectified just as bad[/b]
*sigh*...I'm sorry..I really am
but no....they don't..and no...its not the same
Kratos running around shirtless is not the same as Catwomen running around with her zipper down to her navel...man and woman sexuality is different...
its not just the amount of skin showing..for males its about power..for females its "look her tits"
weather or not catwomen is "powerful/empowered" is an entirely different thing..but my actual point is "Kratos and Catwomen" are not interchangeable as sex objects
and the fact is in real life women will always be judged on their looks first and foremost..more so than men
thats all I can think of for now
