Just because the game's rated 18/MA doesn't mean that there's only people aged 18+ playing it.

You can like more than one game from a genre. You can also like more than one genre. You can also like PC, Xbox and PS3. It is surprising how many people don't know this.

If you like a game, there's a good chance other people dislike it. And they WILL let you know about that fact, often and loudly.

Labeling a game as "casual" because it's accessible to people who've never played a video game before is a stupid idea. I could call most Call of Duty players 'casuals' because they never expand their horizons past it.

Labeling games like Baldur's Gate 2 and Planescape Torment as "old school" RPGS that are the template for everything a RPG should be is pretty funny, because when they came out advocates of "old school" RPGS like Wizardry and Ultima roundly trashed the "new" RPGS as being soulless and lowest common denominator.

In 10 years, you guys will be smacking the shit out of the new RPGS, and talking about how they did it right back in the olden days, with hardcore old timer shit like Mass Effect and Skyrim.

If you legitimately enjoy sports games or fighters, you revoke your right to have a negative opinion on any other genre.

Are you being satirical or are you serious?
Totally serious man. Hell, I haven't even played half the games I bash because I know they're shit and for casuals. Goddamn scrubs. Only good games were made back when 16-bit graphics were around. Nowadays it's all consoles and people having no skill. Don't these fuckers know that you can't have fun without any skill? Gawd.

Ultimately knee jerk reactions and making personal attacks on other gamers make you unhappy.

Game development is marginallyread: immensely more complex and expensive than you think it is.

The Death of an old Emperor is always a bad thing, as is the death of the new one!

There will always be people who judge you for liking certain genres/games (see Akio91 post above).

They are wrong 100% of the time.

And if you're thinking of arguing with them, don't. IT'S A TRAP!

(the joke here being that Iwata's avatar is admiral Ackbar. I didn't really think that through for anyone else who is seeing this...)
