MLG, all who play in it and all of the wannabe little kids who talk like idiots "randy" "bk" "scrub" and the like... An emphasis on graphics has really taken its toll on games with good GAMEplay, we're looking at you, Crysis. A total lack of games with any depth because of the ritalin popping ADD 13 year olds who can't cope without killing something for 10 seconds that have caused a massive increase in shooters, and terrible ones at that. The emphasis on multiplayer that sacrifices single player experience and will eventually (IMO) kill single player games off, or at least as was seen in Oblivion force the company to make it shinier and more casual friendly to try to get some profit out of the game, which also resulted in a far worse game experience than was had in Morrowind.

people are going to hate me but:


microsoft

XBL - it brought online gaming on consoles now developers make games that have it when:

A) they dont need it ( uncharted 2 and bioshock 2 )
B) gets rid of splitscreen ( im talking full splitscreen 2-4 people with bots )

charging you £35 a year to play a game you have allready payed £40 odd for

halo - just an insult to all the FPS out there that deserve the FPS king title far more

360 - maing a console that breaks far too often finding out what the problem is but still cant be bothered addressing the issue

nintendo - brought gaming to everyone but at the same time ruining it for all us hardcore gamers bringing such nonsense as natal and whatever sony equivelant is actually called

sony - making tones of school boy errors consistantly that im not going to list them all


out of the 3 companies though i think nintendos the main offender

This is a perfect example of the influence of this "Hardcore" - "Casual" split...

Deadlines

Because that's what killed Duke Nukem, RROD the Xbox, milked those franchises, threw out non-sequel games, caused patches to come in, caused every tie-in to spill pixellated shit through it's cracked empty shell and generally makes everyone chase the money instead of chasing the game.

Thank god for people like Tim Schafer, David Braben and Ian Bell [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_%28video_game%29], Lucasarts Smart and Interesting Games Division, Bioware and the true heroes of the gaming world.

Next: Mario-troid 3: The Revenge of Cyber-Bowser. Copy/Pasta that you'll still pay for.

Warhammer Online
OK, I'm gonna have to ask for clarification on this one. How is Warhammer Online the worst thing to happen to gaming? I know the game isn't that great (heck, it's not even good), but worst thing ever?

He is a pain in the ass but he can't really [i/]do[/i] anything. I mean, how could 1 person bring down the entire gaming industry. 5 words, Jack, 9 billion dollars a year!

OT, I'd say the Wii and Halo.

Being used as a damn scapegoat for ALREADY-EXISTING PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS. Seriously, gaming probably stalled these people from doing what they did, rather than influenced it.

Many things stated are problems of gaming, but this is an actual threat to it. People want it removed because they want to blame something other than the fact that just maybe psychosis is just maybe something that can happen anyway.

GAMES SUCK HARD because game developers rely on graphics to make you push forward into the game and don't make improvements on actual gameplay. I also think that gamers are responsible for this CRAP.

Multiplayer focus- Multiplayer is good and should be worked on, but give us a single player story as well. Remember, some people like to sit back and play a story. Unfortunately this also makes SP either really easy or really crappy.

Shooters- For pete's sake, people were complaining that Cole in Infamous wasn't carrying a gun. The guy can shooting lighting out of his hand, and it plays just like a third person shooter! Guns don't need to be in ever single game! Or if they are, add some difference to them, like in the DMC series.

Download content-A good idea, but done horribly. Now it's just another tool used to milk more money and persuade people to buy a certain console.

Removal of Cheat Codes-Big head mode might not be important, but it would sure be fun. Or maybe after I beat the game, I'd like to play the start with my ability to fly.

Lack of Local Co-op- This seems to be coming back, but seriously...I should be able to play split screen with my friend without having to buy two games, two ps3's, and two tvs.

Graphics Craze-This is perhaps the worst problem out of them all. Great graphics can make or break a game, but work with what you've got. We don't need to be able to count the nose hairs of our protagonist if the game is fun. I blame this on new gamers that started playing around the time ps1 came out. I have no evidence to back it up, but it's always nice to have someone to blame :p
