Poll: Are you dissapointed in the current generation of gamers?

[Canadamus Prime]

'Gamers' who can fuck off and die:
-Anyone who classifies themselves as a 'hardcore gamer',
-Anyone who calls anyone else a 'non-gamer' or 'casual gamer' just because they don't have as big a gamerscore, have a different console, or have a life,
-Anyone who's forgotten that gaming is about HAVING FUN and not screaming insults about one's mother and simulating oral sex with another guy's corpse (which is both gay AND necrophilia in most games, and kinda sad and stupid),
-Anyone who spends waaay too long waaaay too often (like WoW addicts),
-Anyone who reckons Halo or any other of the generic FPSes floating around is the b3st g4m3 3VAR! and that anything else is 'for fags' or 'gay' etc., religiously screaming this at anyone who happens to be playing at the time,
-Anyone who uses '1337' or textspeak in real life,
-Fratboy gamers,
-Anyone who's all 'OMG the grafix suxors! This must be shit!'
-People who whine when they're killed. STFU and play the damn game or fuck off!
-And everyone else, because I'm in a pissy mood.


So, yeah.

That about sums up my response as well.

Lately, gamer has ment stoner from what I've seen, so a little bit. But I now there are smart people that game too.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I'm 29, have been a gamer since I was around 7 and think the current generation of games is the best so far.

I have no problem with the way things are headed.

I am a stoner. You just implied that stoners were stupid. I just corrected you. Get my drift?

 

[jkklol94]

Yes in the sense that i'm fifteen and most of my friends (except 1) are all mainstream and won't give anything besides a mainstream fps (i.e. Halo, MW2) a chance. Now don't get me wrong Mw2 is great but halo isn't my slice of banana & more people should try to be more open to games like Heavy Rain and up and coming companies

There's a difference between a typo and an error.
And most of the stoners I know are morons.

Morons will be morons, just because they smoke weed doesn't mean that marijuana made them that way.

I chose yes, but not for the same reasons as you posted... I don't mind the competitive online play.. Infact I enjoy it.. I feel very relaxed after I win a few rounds of cod4.

What disappoints me is, developers just don't put their hearts into making games anymore, and this new generation of gamers just accepts that.

I remember when I would beat a game, and for the rest of the day I had a sincere feeling of accomplishment, because in those days, beating a game was a real challenge.

Now due to every ones lowered standards... I'll play through a game, and when I finally make it to the part where the game is just starting to become a challenge... The credits start rolling... WTF?!

Back in the day I would buy games a lot because I knew it would take me a long time to complete.. They were worth the money I'd spend on them because of this... Now I'll play through a game in maybe a day or two, and still I'll be spending $50-$60 dollars on a game that has half the challenge... I feel even more sorry for our Australian brothers and sisters who have to pay $80-$90 dollars for this crap!

No... Back in the day, if the developers tried to pull this stunt... They would be packing up their shit in a tiny cardboard box by now... It just disappoints me how much this current generation has lowered it's standards... Or were their standards already set really low to begin with? Who knows...

Edit:

Ahh before anyone makes a wise crack about me playing games on easy mode... I go straight for the hardest difficulty available at the time, then I'll play the game through again if there's some insane mode after that. So !! lol

 

[zenoaugustus]

I'm dissapointed that the current generation of gamers is the reason games are so easy now. The hardest difficulty in any game these days is not at all challenging. I remember getting my ass kicked in games like Jak II and now I blow through games like Resistance 2 on superhuman in a day. Not to mention all multiplayers feature so many cheap ways to kill peaople all skill has been removed. Getting a 10 kill streak in Resistance:Fall of Man was much harder than a 45 kill streak in MW2. Actually, I recently got a 43 kill streak in MW2 where only 4 of those kills were with guns; the rest from the overpowering air support.

Word. I concur.

well it seems to attract all the morons, as from childhood you could have easily pointed out the 5-10 kids in my class that would be druggies, and sure enough, they are, and they are basically the definition now of smelly lazy ass, hardly going to class nor doing anything active besides working to buy more weed or hooka or cigerettes

 

[SpireOfFire]

The 11 year olds who dominate Xbox Live?

I could crush their souls -_-

thats basically all that needs to be said.

Yes, it does attract morons, but they would have been morons with or without weed. I guarantee it.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

i still have hopes...

 

[mokes310]

Revise and rewrite. You seem to have your title and message confused.

 

[DustyDrB]

Really, to anyone who is "disappointed with other gamers", get the f*ck over yourselves.

 

[Hunde Des Krieg]

Not disappointed in this generation of gamers, just this generation. DAMN GEN Xers!

 

[wizzerd229]

Wow, the poll is rather homogeneous.
OT: sorta, i mean, i know a lot of "good" gamers, by your standards, but i know a lot of "bad" gamers, by your standards
(Thanks Gyrefalcon for the spelling hint)

 

[The Austin]

I'm dissapointed with generations of gamers who think their generation was better than ours.

Spoiler: Do you really think this:

Spoiler: Was better than this?

Well I don't. YOU might, but I don't. So don't go judge me based on my generations' games, they are all special to me, just as YOUR generations' games were special to you.

 

[Ramen n' MaltLiquor]

I don't play multiplayer, and I don't pay much attention to the other people at gamestop when I'm there. So I'm not really sure what the (as you call it) the current generation of players actually does. I am however disappointed that I'm going to have to update my PC in the very near future. I was lucky to get fallout 3 to run on minimum settings.
