I just want to find out the age and nature of everybody's... how shall I put this? Popping of the cherry?
You know that one game you got which you heard about, got really exited about for years and years jumping with enthusiasm at every snippet of news and ended up being very hopeful that it would revolutionise the entire industry? And you know that it absolutely sucked, to such an extent as to completely tarnish your soal forever and transform you into a jaded misanthrope who is exited at nothing at all. Well what game was that for you? And what age were you?
For me it was about 2 years back when I finally got my hand on SPORE. Just so you know I am not going to do a synopsis or review of it here to explain because it was so bad I actually don't want to talk about it. In the same way I would not want to talk about a relatives death. Basically I spent four years fantasising about a game based around the very scientific nature of the universe bursting with life and wonder. And imagine my disappointment when it turned out to be some EA generated colourful atrocious bullshit which was so far from the promised concept I actually raged constantly for the entire evening. Its like if you were a sweet collage girl who was going out with a big sweet sensitive hunk who promised to be gentle with you and then all of a sudden his hand slips into your netherregions and you are permanently disturbed. (I apologise for the crude simile)
So anyway back to the point when did this happen to you? Did it not happen to you yet? Never will? Think I have some issues related to caring about video games too much? Want to bring up Duke Nukem? Please do any or all of these things!
