To see if you are a console gamer you have to be able to still be entertained by old school gaming ah al virtual console.Hell even a good game of joust on the atari or what ever platform it was ported to.

Most console gamers don’t understand you guys because they have never been around such a isolationist gamer. You are now a PC gamer my friend or a professional gamer that sees gaming as work rather than a simple challenge wrapped in creativity.

No matter how many games nintendo comes out with they will not satisfy you. I know this and you know this. Fess up you no longer like traditional console games you like the new hybrid PC/console games on the HD systems.

Your bitterness is more at the fact that due to the Wii you may have less people to play with because hardly any one plays a PC game for offline play any more.

Gaming is becoming your virtual club house instead of what it was. This is self destructive because when people grow out of gaming your games will lose relevance. I have tons of VC games that only the hardcore would play. Most of these games are only available legally by way of the Wii. Sure you can play them on PC but it’s not the same and you know it or maybe you wouldn’t because your not that deep into gaming.

It’s really funny to see so many people scream in the face of nintendo’s success as HD gaming is causing many studios to shut down. If you guys where such devoted gamers you would see how bad things really are. Many creative people will leave gaming because of this a join the ranks of the movie makers. This will only hurt video games as only a few studio will have the balls to be actually creative now.

Gaming was on a bubble due to 3rd parties artificially giving one company a monopoly. Now they are paying for this. Gamers like DaveDaGamer are the reason why HD gaming is not growing. They simply are not console gamers yet they are PC gamers using set top boxes. They are not hardcore casual or what ever…. there is only one name for them PC gamer.

If you could go back to arguments from PC gamers over why wing commander was better than mario 3 you will see a parallel but where are all of these wing commander fans now…. They all argued the same thing yet why are those games no longer made? It’s simple PC gamer just want online play period… be it checkers or crysis. Oh yeah guys or men have to be able to bragg about the graphics… Gamers bragg about the art and the design… most HD games are over design to the approval of these Bragging gamers or PC like gamers.

So while you are spelling doom for nintendo the industry better start look at who they are exactly catering to… If the gamer you are catering to does not care about 8-16 bit graphics and game play then you may have a problem on your hands… You are actually going for casual PC gamers that don’t usually buy what they praise.

@ DanteUY
That’s nice to know, do I redeem any points?

Vitriol def. – Bitterly abusive feeling or expression.

Which was a response to Ady’s post.

Thats a new one.
