One other thing. Attacking Jennifer's idea. Her argument. Her suggestion. There shouldn't need to be a filter on that at all. Critically slam her idea all you want and feel free to point out how stupid you find it. And while this is the first time I'm hearing of this, I am on the side of thinking her suggestion is stupid because it makes games less like games and more like movies. While that's what I think, I also find it completely unreasonable to attack her as a person because of it. Personal attacks because of an idea is the very definition of the Ad Hominem logical fallacy. The only person you're making look dumb by engaging in such things is yourself.
this isn't really a manifestation of gamer entitlement. It's a manifestation of the internet behavior. The internet is a hate machine. People feel more open to be far more harsh on here than they ever would outside of the internet. I can admit to this myself. I once had the Gamespot Hotspot host read out on the show a critical comment I made about their judgments on a game. Just simply having someone read it out unbiasedly made me realize how much of a dumb irrational jerk I was being. I still stood by the core point I was trying to make, but some of my criticism was just downright stupid. We all need to be made more aware of this.
@Sgthombre I gave Stronghold 3 a 9? That must have been a mistake. I've never even played any of the Stronghold games. Anyways, your comment is nothing but a non sequitur logical fallacy. You're dismissing any legitimate criticism I may have of your precious Skyrim based on nothing but my rating of an entirely different game. So you can go ahead and make no logical sense and get lots of thumbs up for it, but that doesn't change the indisputable logical fact that you're a douche.
all of you: A space core from Portal 2 falls from the sky! me: ... and? all of you: And that's it! It's SO GREAT isn't it! OMG SPACE CORE! ^_^ SPAAAAAAAACCEE HAHAHAHAAHA! I LOVE IT. me: That's boring crap. all of you: PSSH LOSER! DOWNVOTE DOWNVOTE DOWNVOTE. Nobody calls my awesome space core boring. It's Kawaii! ^_^
Skyrim is still boring. I don't care, downvote me all you want. These mod videos were a snorefest. They should all have been condensed down to 20 seconds. Since that's the most amount of time you could possibly foresee yourself having fun with any of them.
Down with RWA, the Research Works Act, too! The internet was initially developed to allow researchers to easily share information…and that’s precisely the function this bill is intended to cripple.
I've always loved the stories in GTA. I love how they try to wind through different kinds of plots and such a diverse cast of characters. Through a full playthrough of GTA games you always meet all kinds of different people. People often make the point that GTA IV didn't have enough variety in its missions, but the story was compelling enough to keep it fresh throughout.
