I am not going to lie, I was a whole lot turned off by the guy in the video. He was so confusing. Was it just me, or did he just not make any sense (I mean that as in he didn't even know what he was going on about).
I honestly don't see whats the big deal about giving a game like Killzone 2 a 7 out of 10. 70 percent is average. People can buy an average game and still like it. Most things are based on 70 percent being pretty decent. I can understand getting a little upset, but everyone has their own opinion about video games. I wouldn't say Halo is anything but an 8 out of 10. And before I hear any of your comments about that, I have tried playing it. Its fun, but not something I would enjoy outside of multi-player, but that's just my opinion. I am ONE person out the millions or more who have played the game.
I guess I can kind of understand where the hate comes from. I have been called a "fangirl" before. I like anime/manga and there are some that I like that I wouldn't think that someone else would. But that doesn't mean that I don't like them for saying something bad about it. Everything has its good and bad. Most of the games I play aren't the greatest games in the world, but if they got a 4 out of 10, I wouldn't be upset about it, I have different taste in games than others. I would probably be considered a Nintendo fan, because I have a Wii, DS, GameCube, GameBoy, GBA, and a PSP. I have 3 games for the PSP and they aren't that great, but I like them.
I think it is important for people who read reviews to understand that not everyone shares their opinion and that just because they have been waiting for a game for months/years and it doesn't get a good review doesn't mean that it isn't a game. I think that they are being shallow if they have to a good review about a game that they like or are hoping to like. Who cares? Play the game, see some game play online or something and then decide if the reviewer just doesn't have the same taste as you or if the game really isn't that great. Its all about personal preference.

You're right that it shouldn't matter, but to these noobs, it unfortuanly does to them. It's petty and pointless, but they feel the need to display videos like the one that was posted.
ReplyDeleteI probably have been called a Fan Boy before, but not for a system or consle, but for specific developer. Am I still considered a Fan Boy or do those only apply to systems/consoles?
I read this post as having to do with the importance of meaning, what we value. For those with certain brand loyalties, some meanings and values are more extreme (as in the case of Mr. All Caps). There are particular people who simply cannot handle the truth of any situation involving differences of opinion. I suppose the prevalence of such people regarding video games should come as no surprise.
