There's nothing in this world that pisses me off quite as much as the lack of solid games to play when the weather outside is simply too crappy. I've tried to spend some time with Black Ops (finished that one in a jiffy), Fable 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. But none of those seem to cut it.
Games like Amnesia and DeathSpank are a lot more involving than any of the aforementioned games. At least if feels that way to me.
See you soon.
Remember being a gamer is all about being pissed at the industry for the right reasons.
A lot of people around me like video games. They've liked them for a long time. Recently though, plenty of these people started to complain how the games industry has taken a turn for the worse and how games are now geared towards a massive audience, which, subsequently ruins the experience for veteran gamers - because veteran gamers are always expecting something new and something more challenging.
The industry today is governed by sales and wise business decisions. Not by creativity or innovation. Yeah, sure. We all know this. And the odd thing is, few of us... very few of us are actually doing something about it. Well, you know, there are actually a lot of people out there who are actively trying or at least spreading the word that us hardcore gamers aren't exactly pleased with some of the titles that publishers have been dishing out for the past year or so. I'm talking about the cloning of FPS games and 3rd-person shooters, turning survival horror games into pure action shooters and so on.
This is the probably a natural course the industry must take in order to survive and yet it's still risky, 'cause in the process we might in fact lose some of the genres we love most (survival horror being a great example).
In relation to this, I think 'Extra Credits' made a few excellent points, check 'em out once in a while.
Well, I've been on this planet for a more than thirty years now and I have yet to find something more interesting than sex and video games.
Could it be that I've missed something?
Sure, adrenaline junkies keep telling me there are other things: jumping off a moving plane, riding a super-bike and stuff like that.
Sorry, not my cup of tea.
I need some time to cool off and forget the Internet. Ha! Actually, I tried that once before and I almost died. It's a waste of time. Sadly we live in an age where all the information we gather from the Web has become like a much-needed drug we have to consume on a daily basis.
And I ask you, why? Why is it so hard to quit? Hm, maybe it's not that hard if you have character. And how do you build character... Hm, that's a tough one. Hm...
I have it!!!
By playing video games and reading comic books. There that was easy.
It's rather late and I don't know what the hell am I doing up. But I do know one thing, I love fucking game-inspired webcomics, which means it's time to browse through all of them and see if something new popped up.
Cya!
