Gamers Are Haters, Leaving The Best Behind 2

by Adam Blue • Editorial

It’s been brewing for a few years, but gamers have become stubborn haters. We all know on the internet, people are more willing to be angry. Angry even in response to say, the birth of a child. Even if it’s about their own Mother, they will troll the shit out of it. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal; just pass it on as the known theory. But sometimes gamers like to tag along.

I’d like to start with a known tangent of mine. Turok. Because of an unknown developer, an older IP that apparently failed (even though only one game was bad?) being used with an entirely different story line – Well everybody, the game sucks….let’s just shit on it even though we haven’t played it! Then the game comes out. People still don’t play it and shit on it. And get this – people will play it and still shit on it, even though by their Xbox 360 achievements they apparently barely made it past the beginning of the game. Either they did really fucking hate it, or the previous hate was embedded into their mind. I enjoyed Turok. It’s not the greatest FPS of all time, but the shit is fun.

I’ve seen this again recently with Dead Space: Extraction. M-rated Wii, on-rails game from a successful IP on the other consoles brought over within a year of the original game’s release? It must suck! I’ve been seeing this with my own eyes. But the game is great! I understand this is subjective, but this all stems from the gamer hate that stews within just because of a few traits that have made games suck before. I see forum members that post all day every day talking shit about games…but never playing them.

Gamers need to get away from this, though my complaining may be a lost cause. But what is my point in pointing this out? Gamers need to be open minded in the sake of gaming, and yourself. Do not disregard a game and hate on it because of a few things that may make it look bad. Fun can be found in any game, any genre, by any developer. Don’t jump on the bandwagon.
