The RPGist | 11:34 PM on 03.15.2010 18 comments


Cover your eyes children because this is not going to be pretty. I'm recapping things that have pissed me off for the last few weeks and boy, there is a lot.

Lets first take a look at this week's preorder chart for North America.

1 God of War III PS3 1 486,992
2 Pokémon Heart Gold / Soul Silver Version DS 455,297
3 Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction X360 180,688
4 Madden NFL 11 PS3 N/A 63,429
5 Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii 59,250
6 Gran Turismo 5 PS3 N/A 58,167
7 Zhu Zhu Pets DS 2 55,481
8 Red Dead Redemption X360 46,937
9 Halo: Reach X360 46,818
10 Madden NFL 11 X360 45,276

Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK IS POKEMON DOING ON #2? What's even more fucking embarrassing is the fact that Pokemon was the #1 for the last few weeks before GoW3 bumped it down. Do you people have no fucking shame? Is there no honor in the adult gaming community? Is there no pride? And don't fucking tell me that all those preorders are from whiny little 12 year olds and their ignorant soccer moms. I know there has to be several little shits over 18 who preordered this brainless franchise. Believe me folks, I've consumed this mental toxin called pokemon and it blows. Yeah I watched Disney movies when I was a teen while my classmates got drunk and fucked. But you know what? I had to grow up, so grow up and cancel your preorders! You're not 12 anymore.

Lets also discuss GoW3. I understand this is a mature title which is fairly popular but why treat it as a holy visitation? It's a game with no engrossing story, no emotional complexity, no statement of art, nothing. Are you people that shallow? Alan Wake, a game with clear defined statement of art, should sell double than GoW3 in a just world. Shame the gaming community is full of little spitfuck brats.

Also, Bethesda's new game Hunted is a fucking sellout, surprise surprise because it's going to feature co-op which is just euphemism for the M-word; Multiplayer. What the fuck is wrong with you people? Why can't you go out with your friends in real life like god damn normal human beings. Go fishing, hell go watch a wrestling game. Just get the fuck out of my domain. Games have always been about solitary confinement in virtual world. It's a personal retreat, not a god damn daycare. Go loiter at the movie theater or go skate outside some office complex like honorary citizens. Stop putting pressure on the corporate suits in the publishing edifice. You're ruining this industry with your whiny demands. What do you think happens when the market becomes saturated with multiplayer-forced games? It collapses eventually because there aren't enough people to sufficiently populate every server out there. What does that mean? It means these games will eventually become unplayable because the servers will be forced to shut down. Are you happy?

Also, WHY THE FUCK IS MADDEN IN TOP TEN? In fact, why does Madden exist at all. It's the same shit same year with boxed with a new cover and the same "fuck-you" price tag of $60. Fuck your god damn sports.

I swear, Xbox and PS3 ownership should require licensure with interviews and application requirements.

In fact, I should be the only one to own a console because that would be a beautiful fucking world of gaming with no sports or FPS games. If there is an FPS, it's an FPS/Hybrid WITH NO FUCKING MULTIPLAYER.

Here is what my pre-order chart would look like

1. Alan Wake
2. Mass Effect 3
3. Mass Effect 4
4. Just Cause 2
5. Dues Ex 3
6. Mass Effect 5
7. Alpha Protocol
8. Baldur's Gate 3
9. The NeverHood 2 (or a remake)
10. Planescape Torment 2

Does Microsoft know that the PS3 is out-preselling it by almost 20,000 copies for Madden 2011?? The Xbox crew used to love to brag about how their console was the console of sports gamers. Of course, they do have like 5 months to make up the difference. Plus the time afterwards until Madden 2012 (ZOMG 2012!!).

Also, this is one giant piece of satirical irony, right?? RIGHT!?!?

Its people like you that make lose faith in the gaming community.Are you seriously that narrow minded? Your the god damn rpgist and your calling one of the most popular, and successful rpg's for kids? The pokemon games can be played by anyone but it takes a real gamer to master them.

Sweet meng, go preorder games that don't exist while calling others idiots for preordering something that interests them.
Also, Skullmonkeys is Neverhood 2, despite the total gameplay change.

I'm surprised you don't have Duke Nukem Forever on that preorder list.

... is there a way to negative fap someone for being a fucking tool? "Wah wah wah Pokemon is lame and I'm a total whiny dick."

My patience is growing so fucking thin lately. It might be my general lack of sleep or maybe there's just a serious concentration of people acting like assholes on my D-Toid lately.

That should be my job.

Like others have said YOU'RE more of a problem as people shouldn't buy things for gamer-cred or so you think that their cool and mature. People should buy games that they want to play. Some people like God of War or Pokemon and some people like Madden. This doesn't affect you nearly as much as you think it does so why stop them?

You make the mistake of acting like everyone shares your views and that the reason they like these games is that they haven't grown up or that they haven't found a more "mature" game but they probably have and just like these games more. I know I prefer Pokemon to Final Fantasy any day and I've recently played through both series quite a bit.

1) Alright, you don't like Pokemon. That's cool. But don't ruin it for the millions of others that DO like it, and probably don't tell anyone in the world because people like you have to be assholes about it.
2) How can you possibly compare GoW3 to Alan Wake? Why would somebody pre-order one over the other...? They wouldn't.
3) Sure games CAN be a fun single experience, but why limit them just because that's what YOU play them for?
4) You're ruining this industry with your whiny demands. - rofl...

...and last but not least:
5) But you know what? I had to grow up, - Could've fooled me.

Thank you for posting. I've never heard of Zhhu Zhu pets before, but now I think I'll go look for it just to see what that game's all about.

No Portal 2? And if we're living in fantasyland no JSRF 2 or KOTOR 3? No Battlefront 3?

Boo.

Somebody doesn't like action games. It's OK, you'll understand one day when you calm down a bit.

As for Pokemon, well, the fact that it's still popular after all these years should tell you something. The game isn't just a bunch of bullshit animals fighting; It's beauty is in it's simplicity. The core mechanics of it's RPG gameplay are pretty much perfect. You can't fuck with the elements. They just work.

Also, get some friends. Drink the Kool-Aid and chill out a bit man.

Agree Pokemon is kinda terrible.

Agree that you need a hug and a beer.

Agree that Planescape 2 needs to exist in our lives right now.

Don't worry, the preorder chart shows games that other Americans have preordered. These are not games that you have preordered or have to play.

Also, despite your misgivings about certain games in the chart, you forgot to mention how the preorder chart also contains Red Dead Redemption and Splinter Cell: Conviction. Two games which are offering a compelling environment, story, and a solid single player experience.

I don't see any reason to look at the glass as half empty.
