I generally don't touch sports games. I don't necessarily look down on them or the people who play them, but they seem kind of unimaginative and such a wasted opportunity to me. Surely it's better to actually go out and play a sport than just play a simulation of it. And there's an almost unlimited number of things you can create for a game, why recreate a game that everyone is already well aware of? I understand for some people playing the sports in real life isn't necessarily and option, for varying reasons. But for the kind of people who are otherwise capable, yet would rather play the video game, and not even venture in to other genres, I just have to ask what's the point? They're missing the best of both worlds.
I guess I do look down on some types of gamers though. The usual sort. Pre-pubescent bigotted hyperactive noise machines who give Xbox Live, among other things, a bad name; the type of people who will reject games outright and don't give them a chance based on minor superficial characteristics, like art style of place or origin; fanboys; those who erroneously conflate things they don't like to feed in to their half-baked theories of how they're better than everyone else. Stuff like that.
Captcha: "the nightman cometh" - Well shit. Just when I thought these things couldn't get any more ominous.
