Subject: Which kind of gamer do you hate most?

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Griefers.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

The ones who keep on trying to categorize us all.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

Are you implying all female gamers are this way? If so, that's ridiculously ignorant.

I realize the ones you mentioned exist, but they're not that common.

This. Though to be honest, I do care a bit about my stats and play competitively. Not too seriously though.

As for thinking "Thanks to casuals, the game industry exists".... No. Just, No. Casuals haven't mattered in the video game industry until the PS2 came out. (Made evident by all the shovelware that exists on the PS2, compared to any previous console) It started off without them. You have to be extremely delusional to think otherwise.

That's hilarious. Casual gamers are the reason gaming didn't die in 1982 with the first big crash. Who do you think bought the NES in 1985 when it came out? Hardcore gamers? My grandmother had one. You don't get much more casual than a 67 year old woman that likes to play Othello and Tetris.

Casual gamers have been in this industry since the start. That you somehow think they haven't just shows how delusional and sad you really are. Besides you can't blame casuals for the lack of depth in a game anyway. Most of them like their games to be deep and approachable.

Lazy devs that don't understand that are the problem. They seem to want to make approachable games and think the only way to do so is make them easy and lacking in depth. You are directing your distaste towards the wrong people.



Okay, so lets call those people casual gamers for a second.


When compared to todays derp-face to only buys what IGN tells them to... What does that make them?

Because these are two COMPLETELY different groups of people.

I don't mind if you care about your stats and want to win. I want to win as well, but I kicked a couple real life friends off my friends list because they get super angry and start yelling in the mic when you -blam!- up.

not how games are supposed to be played

Out of those choices, probably hater. Though the ones that really piss me off are the tryhards. You know? The ones that think that they are better than everyone else. The ones that ALWAYS use the most competitive/OP weapons/tactics available. The ones that give MLG and the competitive community a bad name. The ones that complain on the forums all day about the skill gap in respect to the games mechanics despite barely understanding them (most of the time).

Casuals don't bother me at all, child can be quite annoying but they can also be extremely funny. Teens can be both good and bad, it all depends on how mature they are.
