What statements get you to rage on?

I know this shouldn't bother me, but when people ignore the 3DS, thinking it's another DS model, I die a little inside, and get a little rage-y. Unfortunately, this comes primarily from my friends who aren't big into games, so they get the worst of my annoyance >_>

@Slaker117:

The bible was killed for the stories it held, you tell me that isn't a important story then? also the word "game" is also something that needs to die as well, look at it, the word Interactive art, or interactive experience needs to take the place of the words "videogame." this is a fact that is gonna happen sooner or later. All the word game does is give ammo to those that know nothing of the actual medium to trash it.

Besides, sports such as basketball and football are utterly pointless. They only show as a rolemodel that doing nothing but beating the living shit out of another over and over again while winning all the time shows that you too can make more money than a scientist trying to cure cancer and figure our immortallity. It is utterly pointless IMO.

Although the story is why many people are playing Interactive art nowadays. I am among them and will fight for them.

Oh, and I did hear that MK actual did have a pretty not bad story. Mainly from friends, but even with cutscenes doing nothing more then having a reason for you to fight is still better than anything in the NES's can do. Gameplay only is the path of videogames death. there is only so many things you can do with gameplay. but if you can combine story and gameplay together, you get masterpieces such as Half life 2. or hell, more recently, Portal 2 and dead space 2. Games that actually give MEANING to the gameplay, and the story in one package.

Besides, even you pretty much admitted at the end of your post, you are addicted to the old ways of videogames. only wanting to get a higher score than others, only wanting to play just to play because the games highly repetive actions make you. Multiplayer games prove the addiction that runs through videogamers.

Again, just another sign that you known nothing about either sports or how science is conducted.

Again, I said that sports rolemodels, that do nothing other then beat the shit out of each other make SIGNIFIGANTLY more money than ANY scientist alive, while also people like Nicola Tesla get ignored, Muhammad ali are remembered.

Being a scientist GARENTEES that you will never be important because you are never given enough to actually change things, while if they somehow did, it is a good 99% chance that they will only be remembered by the few scientists left that the scientist instructed.

Sports can go to hell, science is what SHOULD be important. not the beer and people beating the shit out of each other.

People saying that Sony had unencrypted credit card information (which apparanlty ATOS said Sony confirmed that the CC info is safe and was absolutely encrypted.


Seriously, it's the fuckin reason PS3 fanboys make me want to kill someone. Seriously, fuck all you idiots who thought they would just leave it out in the open.

People saying get a life especially  on the internet just sounds retarded after awhile or someone saying online I got a life im busy all time I don't have time for anything anymore basically trying to sound like there important or popular I mean really who cares.

GameTrailers love for COD I understand its a popular game but when they say its hardcore I can't help but laugh.

Except they do much more than being role models that beat the shit of each other. Quite a few sports don't need contact. In fact, some outright penalize or forbid it. 
Besides, exactly how many sports stars can you think off the top of your head? Now compare that to the amount of scientists. To the general public without much interest in sports (which is beginning to fade), they're about the same barring some sort of controversy. For example, ask someone off the street what Michael Vick's how many touch downs he performed total. Then try last year. Then ask who he played against. Then try even the number of his jersey, and perhaps the team he plays. More often than not, you'll receive a dazed silence. But try asking the crime he committed? You'll probably get it straight away. Try asking about his team mates? The same dazed silence. Besides, people like Muhammad Ali are remembered not because they were just in sports, but because they were the best at what they did or did something that's reputation spread like wild fire, the same for scientists like Edison (another scientist who's actually part of the reason Tesla isn't very well known). It's also why many sports stars and top scientists are paid the way they are; they're some of the best at what they do today. Try comparing them that with an average minor leaguer and commercial researcher, and you'll find they're names just don't quite shine as bright. It also helps that a lot of these older sports stars and scientists are well-known because they got a fair bit of publicity, more so than others. In fact, without using a search engine of some sort, tell me what you can about Willis Harvard Carrier.

Besides, what does a scientist's personal wealth have to do with why he's remembered (other than making a popular invention or just being a wealthy scientist)? Wouldn't their funding be more important, and shouldn't you be arguing for that instead? And why should some them get paid more when sometimes what they're working on isn't that important, and when failure to achieve a desired result is sometimes rather common? Besides,  And part of the reason that many scientists aren't exactly in public eye is because they aren't. Quite a few projects are kept secret, and those that are aren't can't be viewed by just about anybody, and most sure as hell aren't going to put on a show for the long months (perhaps even years and longer) for testing and development that often needs a lot of precision. 

I'm also confused by your last statement because, again, many sports penalize you for just being overly aggressive and that beer isn't all that great for the average sports player.

                    @Jay444111: They aren't equal because they're two different concepts. If you have all story and no gameplay it won't work, but if you have all gameplay and no story then it feels like a toy. Story in games in non-essential but that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. Sorry if this is confusing it's hard to elaborate on shortly. Gameplay is essential for a game, and not all of them need a story. The best of those with stories should have gameplay and the world integrated into the story like when you see a scene in a movie and understand everything without being told. Story can either bring you into a game or keep you out depending on how it's told. But it's non-essential. Games can still be amazing without them, from games like pacman to I maed a game with zombies in it sometimes story doesn't matter. Gameplay is more quintesentiall to a game than a story is. If a game (Heavy Rain) Has average gameplay(Heavy rain) but is an amazing experience(heavy rain) because of it's story(Heavy rain) then it can still be an amazing game. Really although I overdid the explanation, gameplay is key. Story is not key but can help to overcome flaws just as many other parts of a game can.

True, You did elabroate quite well. But to be honest that isn't going to stop me from saying that story is, and will become more important as time goes by. For the fact of the matter that if you minused the story is many of the great story based in interactive expierences the entire gameplay element would fall apart. seriously, ever play half life 2 without ANY story elements? or without any charactors to it other than the combine forces? the entire thing is droll and utterly pointless, but with the story, it transcended from what a game suffers and became a interactive expierence due to story alone.

They are insanely dependent on each other whether you realize it or not, without it many of the best Interactive expierences these days would be nothing more than pieces of crap without the stories they tell. This is a fact. Imagine bioshock without it's story or city, or atmosphere it would be nothing without them.

Ever notice the back of newer interactive expierences? Most, if not all the good ones include the sentence, "A great tale told within the realms of this world await you!" or such as that. Interactive expierence makers are DEPENDENT on stories now for a selling point. If you had a great storied videogame you NEED to have great stories for the rest of the videogames you make, otherwise the customer feels betrayed. (look at ff13 for evidence.) Just look at the evidence and it shows that my side of the arguement is going to win eveuntually.

Tabula Rasa n all that shit. I don't know what I'm saying right now.

"I could care less"

" "I could care less" "

Know-it-alls, people who can't admit when they're wrong, and people who refuse to drop a debate just to have the last word pisses me off like nothing else. And sadly it seems every other person on Internet is just that type of person.

But do I rage at it? Absolutly not. It's just the Internet after all, and we all know that 99% of these people just act this way "because they can", and would never be such a big douche in real life.

I hate when people single out big business in economy. The banks/walmarts..etc. I get what they're saying, and realize business is business.. but, the upside is locations, accessibility, etc. If you want those things, you pay a premium for those services. A sustainable economy within a smaller mindset or projection is a fantastic idea should you be able to make it work. To an extent, yea capitalism does play a huge role in the monopoly mindset, but I've seen brilliant ideas start from the ground up and compete.. such as Giant Bomb. Gamestop/Software ETC started this way... and people like to nitpick, but the investors/management/sales pushed the business. Yea, it probably puts alot of passionate businesses out of work.. but you always need to look forward if you want to succeed. This is what keeps a competitive market, and prices low. If people give up, then it's not up to anyone to decide but the big business. Is it their fault? No.

I just feel like the minority for the most part on this subject between my friends.. I'm not for capitalism, but I am for successful management / and a way to provide advantages and accessibility even if it comes at a premium. All it takes is an idea folks, and a drive to succeed. It doesn't take a passionate hatred towards world business. If anything I hope it motivates and inspires someone to do something about it, and no matter how successful, remember why you are doing it.

I get irritated by people who judge my intelligence by how much I care about story in videogames.

I ate a fridge

when someone says that a videogame is for kids or girls just because it doesn't have guns, blood or tons of death

People with mindsets that gaming development moves in discrete chunks and thinks the developers are a homogenous set of an all-in-one artist/coder/designer/producer who all work on one exclusive thing at a time (leading to arguments treating story/graphics as mutually exclusive or rants about the developer working on stuff before "finishing" the current game). Then painting publishers as solely existing to screw over developers.

" Spelling and grammar. Such as everyone spelling definitely as 'definately' on the internet now. What's that about? "

" @KaosAngel: Nope, no love for this....

"

I get my rage on when people say that they "could care less" about something.

"

Story is equal to gameplay, gameplay is equal to story, THIS IS A FACT. 

"

General ignorance surrounding video games annoys me, as well as people who dismiss titles or genres (the type of gamer who should know better) without bothering to look into them.

stupid words like:
FAIL/PHAIL
NOOB
LOLOLOLOLOLOL

shit like that, also when people who use Mac are 100% sure that Mac is better than PC,
i just hate those people.. for the record, been using PC privately and Mac work/school wise
and i just prefer PC, and tbh i think it is/was better just due to the fact that it's supported
by more things (also games)

                    I get irritated by people who judge my intelligence by how much I care about story in videogames.

This is usually compounded by them holding up terribly written videogame stories as examples, and insinuating that maybe they were just "too complex" for me.

Ahhhh, only on the internet.

First off, What the hell are you talking about?

Second, most of the time, when people hate interactive expierence stories, they usually skip every single piece of the story and at the end they ask, "Therez waz noez storiez GAMEZ SUKZORZ!" besides, many gamers IQ's are in the toilet and wouldn't understand a freaking sentence being told to them in a interactive expierence.

See what I mean people. You all know that you have seen people like this before.

@ProfessorEss:

Again, You know nothing of what I am talking about, and prove constantly that you are just trolling.

You wouldn't know irony if it bit you in the face, kinda obvious really.

Also, another thing, is that gamers that hate Interactive expierences like Dragon age 2 or Fallout new vegas's dead money are not meant to play modern Interactive expierences. These type of games are NOT meant for the dumbasses that are gamers of today, they are meant for intellectuals. Yep, I said, the main reason people hate them is because they are not smart enough to know what they are about.

Dead money is about the nature of greed and even shows you what it does to people through the gameplay. While dragon age shows you how a poor man can become great. all the while a holy war nearly breaks loose and terror vs security is the main themes of it. What people do not get is that interactive expierences are now meant for the smart people of the world, and sooner or later, gamers are gonna need to deal with this instead of ***** and complain like usual.
