It amazes me still when in the looming horizon, I see the birth of hate crying it's foul cry and ensnaring everyone within earshot of it's infectious shrill. What's even more fascinating to me, is how people pile on to hate something, another person takes the proverbial baton and sprints with it as well, ready to pass it to yet another eager participant trying to better the fellow before him. Sometimes affectionately called The Mob Mentality it ebbs and flows like waves of an angry sea crashing onto a serene beach before retreating back to itself.. usually leaving in it's wake nothing more than a few sea shells. A telling conclusion.

Why are we as gamers so ready to damn to hell anything that remotely looks to be off. Are we really that full of spite that we are itching to spew hate on developers and publishers alike at a drop of a dime for some perceived Achilles heel in a particular part or mechanic of a game not even released yet? A game , as far as I know, no one here in Destructoid has played the full game? It boggles my mind when as a whole, we rally against censorship in games and the Jack Thompsons of the world when they attack on our games and we are even worse then them. It seems every chance we get we are trying to bite the hand that is feeding us.

Impatient. Self-Indulgent. Greedy. Fat. Spoiled. With our fingers ready to point out a minuscule flaw to the whole world. Ready to send game makers to the dregs of Hell because something is delayed, or because it doesn't have 1080p, or 720p all the while those ready to drop negativity have the smallest "p". Since when has it been cool to shit on people anyway? You would think, in this instance, Free Radical, raped every one's mom in here the way people were going here. They just made a game folks. They didn't key your car, or have outlandish sex with your significant other.

It's getting so you can't even read anything online either on a website or forum without the fucking bellyaching and complaining over silly shit pertaining to a game or it's creation. I can understand being worried about a game or it's development, I worry about Banjo myself, but I'm not going to bash Rare and their employees as garbage. Or that their last good games were when they were with Nintendo. Why? Because these people are trying to create something that we as gamers can play and enjoy. And whether it accomplishes that goal or not, I'm quite sure people are busting their ass, not seeing their family as much as they need to, so that their game could have a great shot at being something special.

I tend to think that most dev houses are like this. Or are working towards this and for us who are supposed to love games to just simply write off a game because of a delay or two, really? a delay? That's Super rare in the game biz, or it's not true HD, really? That's super rare in the game biz *Halo 3, COD4,* or games not meeting expectations or hype, really? REAL super rare *Mariokart, Assasin's Creed, Mass Effect*. I just think it's easier to pick at somethings more than others. Lol. Seems that even though Sony didn't make Haze they get blamed for whatever may be wrong with it..in this case not being 720p. You guys do realize the machine they built does do that, right? If the devs choose not to do that for whatever reason, like say so their game engine they made runs efficiently throughout, it's not a hardware issue , right?

I thought all of us were in accordance that gameplay is what matters first and foremost anyway ? Or is that just a crock of shit we say to each other to sound like we know what we are taking about? My favorite games as of this writing are as follows: Persona3, COD4, GTA IV, Odin Sphere, Dragon Quest VII, Hot Shots Golf, and The Club. All of these games aren't showered with true HD goodness and you know what..it doesn't matter. Is Haze going to be included in that list? I have no clue because guess what? I haven't played the full game. But I can honestly say I don't truly give a fuck if it's 1080p, 720p or whatever. And I have an HD TV. I'll just wait for the official Destructoid review, and probably try the finished product for myself.

What I wont do is shit on the game and everyone who is involved with it because I somehow feel that my online anonymity gives me the right to do so. Or that because I owned every game console known to man I know better than everybody else. I hope Haze turns out good. I love supporting games that have coop online and that have four player split screen. I have faith in Free Radical so hopefully it will be a good romp. I don't expect Bioshock or COD4 but something else cool that I could play with my friends online. I can wait to pass judgement on it when it's out and complete.

For all others who want to pass judgement on something without giving it it's proper do, I see the train in the looming horizon. It almost sounds like a shrill from a baby..
