I'd Rather Be A Smartass Than A Dumbass

By shallow gamer, I mean the type of people who choose GoW over Halo because it has better graphics. Or they argue that GoW is better because you can blast people in half and see their intestines spill on the ground when you shoot them in the gut. The type of people who don't care about a storyline at all, they just want to kill and see people explode into a gory mess. These people are also the people who think that EA is a great company because they make Madden.
Sorry if I sound like a self righteous generalizing jerk, but that's just what I see.
Hey it's kinda fun to see intestines sir. And Graphics do make a difference. To all intents and purposes Morrowind is a much bigger game offering more freedoms and possibilities then Oblivion but I really can't get over how trash everything looks when I play it. For me there is a set minimum I need in Graphical quality and from there on up I base all judgements of games on other merits then Graphics. Mine is kinda low, I like smooth animations that aren't jerky and textures to not be all blocky and horrible. Some have higher expectations. It doesn't bother me.
It's all fine to see it how you will. But remember always that the door swings both ways. I sometimes look at communities very much like Halo 2 and see what would others and sometimes even myself would describe as stupid ignorant small minded leghumping fanboys, refusing to accept change or innovation and simply wanting to ride the same dead horse until the end of time. How many developers have recieved grillings for not simply rereleasing essentially the same game over and over until the premise is sucked dry and reduced to nothing? All because fans aren't ready to move on? How many developers have done exactly the opposite and given in to the fans and been reduced to mockeries of designers who haven't come up with something creative in years?
A gaming industry needs many many kinds of moron to prosper those swarming all over the next shiny new thing serve their purpose as do the WoW drones and all the others. Don't judge those you see too harshly because although nobody likes to consider it you're probably just as bad as them in a different way you just haven't identified yet.
I am more then happy however to be a self righteous generalising jerk when it comes to Maddden however, I'd like to be forgiving and understanding but nobody is perfect right...
