Things That Bother You About Gaming

[Foggle]

The only 360 games I still own are Bayonetta and Ninja Gaiden 2. And if I was fine with settling for the inferior versions, I could just sell them and grab the PS3 ports.

...That should tell you something.

I agree with Desensitized, Microsoft can't rely on 3rd party support next gen like they have been doing for the past few years. It pisses me off that they started doing this just because they realized that they would still be successful and make money this gen if they just played things out the way they have, without investing much effort in making the XBOX360 stand out from the other consoles. If Microsoft really thinks that this lazy-ass strategy will continue to work for them next-gen, then they'll be in for a very rude awakening, I believe.

Like I said, it just really bugs me because I was really liking Microsoft's output for the XBOX360 in its first 2 years....and then out of nowhere they just decided to stop giving a shit.

Nintendo may have not had the grandest of starts with the Wii, but they basically picked themselves up and in all honesty I'd say that they are my personal pick for the winner of this generation of consoles. They just have the most interesting output that makes me want to go out and buy a Wii....which unfortunately I still can't do, mostly because I just flat-out don't have the time for gaming while I'm in college.

Microsoft seems more eager for a media center than a game console at this point. I particularly foresee a lot of whining over that when it's revealed. I honestly see it as their PS3. Also, their interface gets worse with every update, what's up with that?

I have no idea what Sony is going to do, but after the Vita I'm expecting another "five hundred and ninety nine US dollars" and "PlayStation fans will get two jobs to buy our products" reveal. I only say this because they have yet to ever give me any indication that they've learned from their mistakes.

I'm still expecting a Bayonetta 1 port to Wii-U at some point as hinted at, and a possible Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 port if 3 does surprisingly well.

But I mostly have third party 360 games, and that's only because I don't have a gaming PC. I'm also about done with Halo at this point so Microsoft isn't really giving me much incentive to be interested.

X-play on the Wii-U.

Good ol' Morgan Webb, keeping it classy.

Seriously?

As long as it's "3D enough" for her, that is.

I'm just aghast over the fact that she actually considers herself a "hardcore gamer".

Talk about patronizing.

[Daxdiv]

I could have sworn she said she grew up with the NES version of Legend of Zelda as her proof that she's a gamer. Well that and knowing the Konami Code, I'm pretty sure my sister knows that and the only time she touches video games is at Dave and Buster's.

[Kiddington]

That seems awfully hard to believe, considering what a raging anti-Nintendo hard-on she's had since about as long as I can recall.

I dunno.

Wasn't she also the one complaining when Ubisoft opened their E3 show with Rayman Origins? Like, "This is a Super Nintendo game let's get on to the more exciting games!"

Meanwhile Rayman Origins is the best game Ubisoft has ever made.

[Avaitor]

I also remember her saying that she was "too busy saving Golden Sun" when a random guy tried to call her out on being a gamer to hear the question way back when on the show.

Golden Sun is barely a Nintendo game though, so idk.

She does that for every major platformer.

It's generic shooter of choice or nothing with her, basically. You could just feel the strain in her voice when she actually had to give Super Mario Galaxy 2 a good review.

[Daxdiv]

That seems awfully hard to believe, considering what a raging anti-Nintendo hard-on she's had since about as long as I can recall.

I dunno.

Maybe she thinks it's cool to hate on Nintendo because "lol no mature games for mature gamers like myself" mentality that I've noticed since like the 6th grade.

I can only imagine how she took to the Bayonetta 2 news.

It probably looked a lot like this.

Here is the review in case anyone is wondering

The best game this gen, and her worst complaint is that it's not "3D enough" which is such a non-complaint that I just can't fathom what her issue is beyond blind fan-girl hatred. Maybe it needed more blood, pointless escort missions, and a useless open world for it to be considered "3D enough".

Yeah, pretty sure that's what it is. She's pretty much one of those casual gamers who thinkg they're hardcore because they have basic gaming knowledge.

She does that for every major platformer.

I'd love to see her attack a 2D fighter simply because it uses sprites.

The FGC would destroy her.
