Secret Santa 2024
I have noticed the gaming experience and the gaming fun is not the same with those that we play today. Games do have morality, you can tell if you have some high critics.
Go grab your old Super nintendo, go and beat the Demon's Crest. Now go and play Call of duty.
Notice that SNES back then was challenging and was quite hard, but it was fun to play.
It was something ordinary, wich today's games are simply based from another game.
I agree that some gamers play cause they don't wanna take on life , but the point of games are to have fun , I play alot of co-op games and most of the time I don't play games unless they are co-op , here in philippines we play alot of dota cause its fun to play around and kill some dumbasss with you're friends

..Go play Demon's Souls. Or better yet Dark Souls, so I can invade you and show how hard modern games can be. ;3

This is era of casual gaming, hence games requiring skills and devotion are in niche market.

/me retreats to his cave and continues playing Dark Souls.

< Larfen> also my replay thread has more views than the rules thread \o/

...This probably explains most problems in this community.
I just play because There are quite a lot of fun games out there and sometimes it's fun to mess around with your friends online.
Do you agree?

I believe we're all creative people, who enjoy immersion into someone else's creations.

There are social reasons to play video games, whether it is to play with them or just have something to talk about. The video game community is also a real thing, meeting people in life, and gaining respect through knowledge and experience in games. A couple of times I've met people who are into video games, and I've been able to talk about games like 'Ocarina of Time' with them, which also gave me credit as a gamer. Sometimes we like to keep up on the latest games, so we can maintain that credit as a gamer, but this is also where gaming takes a wrong turn for me.

At the time when I was playing, say... 'Ocarina of Time' I wasn't playing to be able to talk about it. I was playing because I found it really imaginative, and a great manipulation of what great stories can be told through the medium of video games. I despise what gaming has become to most people these days.

World of Warcraft... Call of Duty... The people who play these day, after day, aren't doing it right. They don't get a new experience, they don't push their imaginations.

This isn't me just complaining about the fact my credibility as a gamer has gone downhill because I haven't got a level 60 Tauren, or that I haven't gotten a 5 kill-death ratio on Black Ops. Although, that disappoints me as well.

I'm glad they're still making games like Mass Effect, Fallout, and The Elder Scrolls. I can still sort of maintain my credibility through these games, but unfortunately, it's not sustainable enough.

I will be replaying these games many times throughout my life, as I can return to them with the same creative enthusiasm as I had when I first played them. As people leave Black Ops for the newest installment, I'll be able to go back to Final Fantasy VIII and not be offended by the old graphics.

I know why I play games. I play games because it gives me a chance to clear my goals for the game. When i play saints row 2 its like watching a movie. Except i get to role-play in the movie. If you play sandbox's like Spider Man Ultimate Alliance, Saints row one and two, Grand theft auto, Skate 1, 2, 3, Assassin's Creed, Etc Your goal is to have fun or role-play with your friends. If you play games that you have to follow a trail to complete the game here is another example list: Halo, Left 4 dead, Racing Games, Bloody Roar 2 (Classic PlayStation game) Your goal is to beat the game and get the next part of the game to continue the story. Those are my Statements. You don't have to believe them but i do. Just take in main purpose games are fun.

I'm coming for you...
(Note from pedobear)
I play games for many reasons.
For example, I play for fun of course, or if I don't feel good or a body part hurts the game takes my mind off of those things. Or if I play with friends I would just play to beat them.

I play for fun, and to murder my friends. But I'm sure anti-social kids play to escape the world.
