Loki, nice response.

Simply put, I find almost every single game put forth by the "gaming industry" *wonders if there is a better term* to be highly ridiculous, since almost every single one of them is:

1. Easy
2. Boring
3. Great graphics but shitty gameplay


That said... I want you to think for a moment... think about games like Dragon Warrior... games which took 100+ hours to best, and had more replayability then anything I've touched in the past five years.

Think about games like Mario Brothers RPG, which was nicely done, or Earthbound...

Those games didn't rely on "Great graphics" to win people over, instead they relied on originality and great gameplay.

Now we look to things like MGS, MGS2, FF7-10, and all the other crap being spewed out, and you can quickly realize how freaking pitiful the games are... how mediocre.. how.... icky.


In essence, a player is someone akin to a hardcore player, although strangly they are not exactly that either... they are inbetween hardcore and a person... That means they won't ace games in two seconds (which you probably could nowadays), nor does it mean they'll struggle along during the more dull and simplistic parts of games (FF8 excluded, since strangly if you want to find EVERYTHING, you need to be told about them... except if you go throughout the whole bloody world pixel by bloody pixel.)

So what am I getting at?

hell if I know... I'm just bored.. and I thought that'd be a neat thing to post :p
