Video Games: Not that fun anymore
Pop-it \| 1:33 PM on 12.02.2008	30 comments

I was bored so I decided to post this.
The other day I was playing some videogames and i thought, wow, this is extremely un-fun! I thought that was the point of games, to be fun! not to make you scream and shout in rage, then, continue to play until you complete that level! Games aren't as fun as they used to be. They may be great in terms of graphics, sound, frame rate and stuff like that but it drifts away from the purposes of games! TO HAVE FUN! I prefer popping a kickflip using the analogue stick on skate or stealing a hovercraft on Jak2 to getting repeatedly punished for cutting corners on Baja: Edge Of Control (didn't buy it) or being teabagged by an angry douche on headset. We all know how stressful games can be so what i say is instead of getting worked up over a level you cant do on GTA or LBP, take out the disk and slip in an older game, Pain is tons of fun if you've got a ps3 and now with trophies and new maps! It's worth the money. Also try a ps2 game once in a while (if you have a ps2) I've been replaying Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak2 and Jak3 recently and they don't work me up. So yeah.
If you have anything to say on that feel free to comment but plz no spam.

This is a pretty huge generalization, don't you think? Maybe you're just not playing the right games for your play style?

blehman

So you're the new troll, huh?

BlindsideDork

Or take Rockvillian's idea and go for a walk? Read a book?

Rockvillian

He's right! Read!

Start with this one, it blows your mind open.

You know, this nice "short" post really belongs in the forums, not in the C-blogs. This is like the 3rd or 4th post like this where you haven't really had much to say, but you have stuck it in the C-blogs and taken up space on the front page. When you do this you push other posts off the front page from people who actually put time and effort into their blogs. Please stop doing this.

MrSadistic

Books are for hippies. What you should do is go outside and commit random assaults of the sexual nature. It works wonders for me!

Rational Animal

This blog fails horribly in so many ways.

@Blehman

PSH, please, Destructoids had WAY better trolls then this guy. Candle NOT held.

Naim Master

No, play Ninja Gaiden or Contra on NES to see how it's totally not frustating ...Games are actually getting toned-down in dificultty these days ...

RE: To NAIM MASTER
Ninja Gaiden's old I'm talkin about newER games

ps: Sorry to everyone for blocking up the page, may be u can stop bein lazy and click the PREVIOUS page button?

Raccoonus

I liked the Jak games a lot, but I think we all can chalk this up to not the right games for you. How about you, um, try again?

JoGrbbs

I agree.
Whatever the words in this post say, I agree with them.

Messer

maybe you write a blog.

SilverDragon asked nicely, too. I'm normally pretty passive but I'm prepared to vent and I'm sure you know by know that other people on destructoid aren't so keen on holding their tongues about what you're doing here either. Call me what you want, but you can really make your experience here better if you just read and take in what others have to say.

Also, in response to your previous page comment:
So you're saying that your refusal to move these to the forums from your blog is worth backing up actual writing? You know, there are people who visit this site for just a few minutes, maybe to check a couple of news posts/blogs. The point is that that person may be missing out on a discussion that is actually worth their time reading the blog.

Hands Down.

PAIN is a WONDERFUL GAME. I've got every single Add-On for it! MotorStorm : Pacific Rift has Custom in Game Soundtrack too on the BRDisk.

Though BlindSideDork thinks it's ads are Unrealistic. Good Game is Good.

OH NO HE DIDN'T.

@Mikey

No, he did.

Shit blog...............is shit..

N9volt

I actually agree with the post. I've found some games to be like that as well. Perhaps you aren't playing your style of games, like Char said. And at the people who are saying this belongs on the forums: why the hell do you feel so inclined as to go on peoples blogs that aren't bastardly long and flame them for being short? I really don't want to want to sit down for 10 minutes and read a long blog in my spare time. I'm not saying Pop-It is Shakespeare, but cut him a break. And I hardly see how this is taking glory from longer blogs...

Text wall is TEXTY!

Skribble

It's all relative, dude. What is not fun to you, is the pinnacle of awesome to someone else.

For instance, I think Pain is a bland, stupid, horribly boring game and would rather play Superman 64. But that's ME, that doesn't mean YOU can't have fun with it, and vice versa.

blehman

heheheh sorry heretic. <3

maxbraff

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts is pretty fantastic.

Holyetheline

I can see where you're coming from here. I usually go way back to Super Mario World when I get sick of gaming. It normally brings me back.

Or I have a romp at Castle Crashers. Nothing wrong with that.

Buddha

Dont say go to the forums, the same thing would happen there, its just a blog people, god damn the kid can write whatever the fuck he wants and post it. He did say to discuss which is more forum-ish but still, get off his dick, it's the internet.

blehman

Dont say go to the forums, we don't want him there either, its just a blog people, god damn the kid can write whatever the fuck he wants and post it, but joystiq would be so much more the appropriate age level. He did say to discuss which is more forum-ish but still, get off his dick, it's AIDS infested.

FIXED!

Alexradl

Then why are you here?
