Sick of gaming haters and haters of gaming: A RANT

     I think there needs to be a moderator for stupid people who make comments that make themselves sound like spoiled bastards. I was reading a few reviews of things to come and some of the comments made after really make me wonder about the type of people I'm gaming with online. Such comments such as "If I can beat it in a sitting it's not worth playing" really make me wonder about some of these players. Look lets ask a few questions that should clarify this up. (since these are ps3 gamers).
  •  Have you platnumed the game in question in one sitting?
  • How long is one sitting?
  • What difficulty did you play this game on in your one sitting?
  • Did you follow the story at all?
I keep hearing these boasting statements that really moch a decent game. I understand a different studio created a game that is now part of a series of games you loved but it's always worth a look to see what a different studio is capable of. The problem I keep seeing with these boasting game haters is something my parents taught me of is they don't appreciate the story or the substance of the game. They play through it once and tell you it sucked. Did you try any of the other modes???? Ok so it sucked how about trading it in for a different game? I just don't really care for the "I'm going to boast about how quickly I beat your game and say it sucked and ruin the experience for another gamer because I'm boasting how easy it was." Really if I valued your opinion maybe just maybe I'd ask you for it.
     What gets me is it's usually some FPS asshole who had no friends online and decided to play an Action/Adventure game that wasn't up to their standards. Here is the problem with the gaming industry either you pander to the lowest common denominator being the person who doesn't want to see something too violent or scary or you pander to some asshole who is prone to playing all games on super nightmare death difficulty and unless it kills you instantly it's not fun. There are millions of gamers inbetween who enjoy playing a challenging game. They also enjoy playing games for the story not the ultimate death challenge.
     It fucking sucks that these gamers are the loudmouth fools who ruin a good series by telling all their friends it sucks. How about an honest opinion such as "I found it rather easy, but you may enjoy it." or "I beat it rather quickly I found a way to cheat the system and well you may enjoy it more than I did." See asshole now you've not ruined someones opinion on a game before they get a chance to play it. This is why gaming is getting such a bad rap and having such a tough time finding their audience.
     There are libraries of games that people would enjoy for the story, the adventure and well just the first time through that you fuck heads don't seem to get.  Let people make their own opinion and give them a fair chance to enjoy something if possible and if they don't like it you can compare notes. HOW FUCKING HARD IS THAT!!!!
