3 Things That Lowered My Faith In Gamers Today
njsykora | 4:32 PM on 03.06.2008 20 comments


1) I was able to walk into GAME today and find 2 copies of Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga. They have more copies of DDS than Persona 3. That isn't right.

Still, I got a copy for £8. It was actually exactly what I went in for.

2) Dynasty Warriors 3 costs £13 in there and there were a shitload of copies.

3) Within seconds of signing into Xbox Live (I turned on to play Triggerheart) I got 3 invites to play Halo 3. It hurts me that 3 people play it in a world where Call of Duty 4 exists.

Halo 3 is fun to play. Call of Duty 4 is fun to win.

I second MrSadistic, different strokes man. You're being a tad judgemental.

I played through Conan today. That lowered my faith in game developers. Does that count?

I saw Super Monkey Ball running on an iPhone (exactly 01:00:00 into the video). That lowered my faith in closed mobile platforms.

Seriously. Until today, I would've killed to make a PSP game that wasn't guaranteed to be a financial disaster. Now I don't have to dream...

Digitally distributed real mobile games FTW.

Sure, gamers have different tastes. These are mine by which I'm judging other people. I'm not being 100% serious with this post, it was mainly brought on by my shock at going out specifically to find DDS and finding it in the first store I went to.

I have the Persona 3 soundtrack on, the Velvet Room music makes me cream.

@Holyetheline
FREAK!

A lot of things make me lose my faith in things. What's your point? :P

It takes a lot more than that to kill my faith.

As someone who owns a PC that can happily play CoD 4, I see no reason why my inviting friends to play Halo 3 should be a bad thing. Perhaps this is true of your 3 inviters?

That doesn't lose my faith but it is fucking annoying! Why the fuck didn't they think of that!

DaveKap also brings up a good point. Just 'cause they were playing it doesn't mean they don't own another version of CoD4. Plus, who knows, maybe they weren't even enjoying it...

Dynasty Warriors prices are jacked up all over the UK because Sterling is hoarding them all... deal with it.
