Whatever happened to people having taste? Are gamers so jaded and shallow that they think everyone has to like anything that's popular? Take Too Human for example. Sure a lot of people hate it but the excuse I hear for the people who love the game is idiotic. You just don't "get it". Yes you're right I don't get shit games. But you see that. Those two words right there, shit game. Those words make people go crazy. Its as if you're insulting their dead mother. Its pathetic. Why is it that if I'm a gamer I'm expected to like Metal Gear Solid or Grand Theft Auto? Why do I have to look forward to every quirky Japanese game? Who the fuck made it a law that every popular game in existence has to be adored by you?
I enjoy rap music. Now if I were to tell someone else this they would probably think I meant that dreadful noise they play on the radio. However I could enjoy different types of rap music. Its the same with say JRPGs. If I tell someone I like JRPGs they may automatically think,"Oh well then you must like Square Enix games." Are we so stupid that we don't view others as individuals when it comes to gaming? We group each other under little fucking labels. These are the hardcore gamers they enjoy FPSs and other action games. These guys are the jocks they only play sports games. Those JRPG weeaboos like anime games and shit. Why can't I play Madden and Braid? Why can't I enjoy Dynasty Warriors and God Hand?
Why can't I just be a "gamer". Can't I just enjoy whatever I play and you can just STFU and enjoy whatever you play. Do you have to automatically judge me whenever I tell you I enjoy Halo? Do I lose IQ points just because I enjoy shooting aliens? Do I fucking call you a prick because all you like to play is "retro" games or some "artistic" game. Am I cooler because I own a copy of Katamari Damacy or Psychonauts?
Its really depressing to think about us. We are nothing more then hypocritical, judgmental, and moronic douchebags who think what you play makes you who you are. When I say the game you play is shit why do you take it personally? Can't you just say, "Well I like the game but I guess it, like every game, has its faults." But no you don't do that. You basically say, "OMG UR A FAG THS GAEM IS BEST EVER FUCK YOU FUKK U@!!" or you defend your stance that you think the game is shit by saying, "UR ALL FUCKIN RETARDS WHO BUY HYPE THAT GAME IS FUKKIN GAY!!"
Too human is shit. What are you going to do about? Are you going to break my skull open because I said a game you like is garbage.
I like Halo 3. Am I now some Xbox 360 fanboy? Do I have the brain of a 4th grader now because I enjoy "generic" shooters?
Everyone has different taste,
GROW UP.
BTW when it comes to music I'm actually way cooler than you because I listen to Supercar. Its not my fault its just a fact. Sure that idea ruins my point but hey it really is a law of music. Supercar = One bad mother fucker.

Have you played Too Human yet Heretic? I'm curious to see if your opinion is the opinion of somebody else or your own.
Also why do YOU take offense if someone likes Too Human? Your blog makes no sense to me aside form you throwing a fuck party with the actual word fuck.
Everyone does indeed have different tastes, there's wisdom in your blog but only in the second to last sentence. Everything else to me was a hissy fit.
It's funny because he starts out by listing everything that sucks (which incidentally means most of the game) then goes on to defend it in a totally contradictory fashion. I just sat thinking "Are you serious" most the way through it. You can't use words like 'deplorable' to describe something then try to defend it as 'not that bad'.
I'm not entirely sure what point this blog is trying to make. If it's about, Too Human, I personally have a hard time judging something I haven't played. And I'm not even sure if I'm going to get it.
But like I said, maybe I'm missing something you're trying to say?
You didn't answer if you've played Too Human or not though.
And I actually agree with most of this blog, 360's selling out in japan and me agreeing with Heretic, 2 signs of the impending apocalypse have come to pass.
This reminds me of the time I posted a comment on a "Games Time Forgot" segment, which I think was about XIII. Anyway, I said the game was mediocre, and someone replied with "omg go play Halo 2 noob" or something to that effect. It made me lol.
I like to play some of the more mainstream titles, but I do think that a lot of people are giving the Halo series unwanted attention.
I have no idea what the fuck you are on about. There are words up there, but god knows what they represent. I guess we shouldn't "label" people, man? Is this a fucking John Hughes movie? Are we going to dance and learn about our goddamn feelings and realize that we all bleed the same color? Do we get to bang Molly Ringwald? Do we? Cause if so, count me in.
Also, you like Supercar. Let's be good buddies and drive around and bang Molly Ringwald and listen to Supercar.
And you quickly find a way to destroy the tiny inkling of good will I had toward you now, guess I never should have doubted your talents to be a massive douchebag.
Is your life really so sad and pathetic that something I said and forgot about still bother you? I mean there are bigger things to worry about, then again you are a 16 year old little shithead who knows nothing about the world and let his internet fame get to his head.
I'll never see it or hear about it but knowing how badly you'll crash and burn in the real world puts a huge smile on my face.

Give us something worth reading, prove to us that what you're writing is post worthy and deserves acknowledgement from the community or go the FUCK AWAY cause your shitty posts are flooding away the interesting ones... "
@Heretic
If your internet life and real life are completely different, I would love to see some of your real life on here rather than your internet life. I think we all would.
I actually thought you had a really good message here. People have different taste in games, and these tastes don't make them any better or worse of a gamer than anyone else. Not sure why that started a shit storm :P
some people are intelligent and can accept the fact that every person is different, and that "good" and "bad" are all a matter of personal opinion. Even when a game/movie/song/book is actually written/directed/acted very poorly, there is still going to be somebody who likes it. And their opinion, no matter what you think, is 100% equal to yours.
Your education/experience/talent in whatever subject you've chosen does not make you a spokesperson for what that subject upholds as "good". All it does is make your more aware of your own personal tastes. Some people just get confused.
There will always be people who think their way is the right way, because no other way makes THEM happy. It's ALWAYS going to be that way, you just have to be the bigger man, turn the other cheek and realize that person still has a few life lessons to learn.
My advice: don't let it get to you, there are much better things in life to waste your time with :)
Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
Also why do YOU take offense if someone likes Too Human? Your blog makes no sense to me aside form you throwing a fuck party with the actual word fuck.

Bitch.
360's are selling out in Japan because retailers aren't keeping a large inventory on an item that generally doesn't sell that well.
Also, you like Supercar. Let's be good buddies and drive around and bang Molly Ringwald and listen to Supercar.

Ron Workman was right.

"Are you really so pathetic that you had to type that long ass comment?"
As you write several walls of text.
Yes. Shutup and go bawww
