Title: If you see me get any tears in my eyes as a guy i do apologize and here's why
Post by: lordscott on October 15, 2013, 07:35:03 am
Fellow Gamers some of you gamers touched my heart when you still love and still play both the classics and new games equally like i do nowadays some or most gamers only want graphics graphics graphics when they act like that it makes me sometimes sad of being a gamer and sometimes that makes me ashamed of calling myself a gamer because of how some gamers are nowadays :).
And when i see some collection videos or any collection of fellow gamers,fellow anime fans in general i notice there is some of us who still love and still play the classics and it does touched me and for getting chocked up or having tears in my eyes or act well glad that some of us are still around who don't care about graphics as long as the game is fun and for that i apologize for having tears in my eyes I'm sorry as a guy if you see me having tears in my eyes :).
And if I'm only straight guy who felt this way i understand just of sharing my feelings about this and feel free to leave any comments you want plus i don't know am i only guy who feels this way anyway i apologize for a long read thanks for reading this and if it's wrong spot admin please put it in a good spot thanks again letting me say this and say how i feel.
And i like to add this too as well some of you fellow gamers have some of my favorite games and and some of my all time favorite games.

Hey, guys can cry, too! No gender or sexual orientation should prevent a tear from being shed, especially a joyful tear!

I find it funny that the people who base their enjoyment of games by how good the textures and lighting look are often the same people who hate stuff like the Star Wars prequels and Transformers because they're nothing but shiny visuals over substance.
We play videogames because they're first and foremost, fun experiences. Many games released 20 years ago are still as fun today as they were when we were children, while many modern games focus entirely on making games technical showpieces first and the fun factor seems to be an afterthought. It's why I am still a Nintendo gamer. Their games are far from cutting edge from a technical standpoint, but I had far more fun with games on my Wii than on any other system. While they may lack the mature nature of something like Bioshock or Red Dead Redemption, they're what the core of what games should be. Fun.

my thoughts exactly sadly how some or most gamers are nowadays like how i describe and i agree with blipcs76 about games should be fun and they should stop caring about graphics and start having fun like most of us do or at least some of us do and some gamers judge other gamers they need to stop judging other gamers like a fellow gamer's friend said to him who cares about old games i forgot the gamer's user name i think he was on his account on gamespot.com site

A good example of this is in the twilight days of the NES. Most companies had figured how to squeeze every graphical drop out of that 8-bit machine. Taito said "Eff this. Let's focus on gameplay." Have you played Little Samson? That game is a lot of fun. It's not the best looking game on the NES, but dammit it's fun. Panic Restaurant is the same story. Fun > Pretty

I know right and no i haven't played Little Samson or Panic Restaurant before but i am open to willing to try it and see if i love it as one of my many favorite games too as well and my motherboard of my NES is sadly completely rusted out i either just replace the motherboard or just replace the whole thing i don't know yet what to do with it yet :).

You guys say "nowadays". Graphics ALWAYS were a big deal in gaming.
Even way back in the 2nd generation, Intellivision was already using graphics as their selling point. The NES sold millions based on the fact that it's graphics blew the hell out of the 2nd generation consoles. The 16-bit wars was all about graphics (blast processing, Mode 7, FX chip, etc.). Sony tried to make game publishers make ONLY 3D games for a while on the PS1.
And more importantly, the majority of gamers bought into it all. It's not a new issue, it's an always has been around issue.

This. 20 years ago it was blast processing. Today it's 1080p and 60fps. While there isn't really such a thing as "blast processing", it's still the same basic argument.

Yeah, it was about graphics then just like it is now. A pretty game with awesome gameplay is still awesome. I'm not all "8-bit or nothing". I like fun games from any generation. I'm just saying Super Mario World is a 1000x better game than the latest Call of Duty.

For sure.
However I think I'm having just as much fun with Bionic Commando on Xbox 360, right now, as I did with Super Mario World.
