Hmph.
People don't seem to appreciate range any more... I admit, I am a bit in the Nintendo camp, mostly because it's what I grew up with. However, that doesn't mean I don't love an Okami, a World of Warcraft, or a Halo. People are too much into camps nowadays, casual, hardcore, Sony, MS, Nintendo. What did happen to loving the medium, and accepting it in all its forms. That doesn't mean you have to love games like SCMRPG, just respect that someone put time into creating it, and if you don't like it don't support it.
Sometimes I like a game of beauty and amaze at art, an Okami, a Wind-Waker, Gears of War, (hi-def doesn't mean beauty, it can be as extravagant as life and be meaningless if it doesn't have substance, it will just be pretty). Sometimes I indulge on my more-or-less barbaric side: God of War, Twisted Metal, Doom, etc. My point is, as a gaming community, we don't just play one kind of game. It's static, boring. We WANT variety. Maybe grandeur, maybe simplistic. But we desire change and growth. That's why I supported the Wii. I felt it was a step in the right direction for expanding the medium. That doesn't mean I didn't want the XBox360 or PS3, I just chose to support Nintendo's idea before the others.
Why can't we just absolve our differences and stop the whole e-penis contest that is Fanboyism, and try to make rational arguments based reason with the flexibility to see another's point-of-view?
Until then,
Also Pox!
