The Gaming Mindset.
Lately, gamers have gotten this strange delusion that they are "entitled".
That a game has to be perfect in order to be worth their time.
That tiny minute details can make a game terrible.
It's unbelievable how much people complain over really dumb things and spout the idea that unless a game fell directly from Jesus Christ's behaloed ass crack, It's bad and should be violently complained over.
The worst part is, they try to make it sound like the company's fault.
As if they have some sort of responsibility to the consumers.
Devs and companies are only out to make MONEY.
Gaming is an INDUSTRY that currently rivals other major industries such as Major League Sports and Cinema.
OF COURSE they're gonna be greedy bastards and demand as much money as they can fron you. We see that all the time in other major media.
Why do you think the Hunger Games Mockingjay was divided into 2 parts?
Why do you think TV is clogged with ads and endorsements?
This DOESN'T however mean you have to obey their agressive marketing.
If you don't like the business practices in current marketing, you have one major power as a consumer.
You reserve the right NOT TO GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY.
Rather than whining about it all over 4chan, just don't buy the game.
If it really is THAT bad people won't buy it and use up their money on it.
This will force the company to increase the quality of their releases and improve.
(Unless it's EA or Sega, then you're just boned)
The point is, the world doesn't revolve around you and you don't revolve around the world.
We need to remember the "Game" in the word Videogame.
(I am aware that I am also bitching)
(...about bitching.)
(Bitchception.)
(Bitch.)
Edit: This isn't to say that all companies don't care about their fans, it just shouldn't even be worth your time to complain that big name companies are being greedy.
Especially when they've been that way the whole time.
It should be expected and ignored if it becomes a hindrance.

2 RepliesYes you are right we should just bend over spread our cheeks and oblige. I am a gamer and a consumer, you pay for a service you should get it.

3 RepliesI honestly don't care for hype or reviews if the game is solid and is fun I will play it if the mechanics are good but the story is crap I will play it if the story is good but the mechanics crap I will play it that is all I look for in a game I never have high expectations for any game even destiny when it came out I was not even going to pick it up it came with the white ps4 pre order last year I had not owned a next gen console at that point so I figured why not get a white one to make it a special purchase destiny came along with it anyway afew months later I picked it up I threw on destiny after I finished infamous and enjoyed it the shooting was satisfactory and loved the lore to the game. If there is one thing I love about games like destiny it is lore people love the witcher games I do not I find them dreadfully boring people kept telling me they are excellent games including my brother so I gave 1 and 2 a go honestly the combat system was just QTE action and filled with lusty women if I wanted my character to sleep with a female npc I would have bloody flirted with them myself not be forced to all I got from the witcher was a Bamf with glowy eyes that likes to sleep with easy females and slay monsters whilst chugging down random tonics sorry I went alittle off topic anyway that was just my opinion I will only play games that interest me not games that are hyped up or has a huge following of gamers everyone has different interests and I like seeing that in all gamers don't get me wrong I used to be aboard the hype train every time it stopped at a station then I jumped off and walked back to my senses rather then following the masses end of rant I apologise for the length I just wanted to let you know not all gamers have ridiculous expectations

I agree with a lot of what you had to say, but releasing unfinished games and or broken games is inexcusable. I think the perfect example of this is early access on Steam. The games are broken yet selling for 1/3 the price of a full AAA game.

I don't get what's with people buying new games. I just bought killzone shadow fall and love it. I wouldnt even have a ps4 if it wasn't for my gf feeling bad about my ps3 catching fire. Seriously since I was 17 I saw that games are better when they are cheaper at retail because all the complainers are long gone. Just my opinion

24 RepliesEdited by Psyntifik: 2/19/2015 12:42:28 AMSorry, but I don't agree with pretty much anything you say. A lot of the negativity is just plain bitching , not a case of entitlement. And to be honest, as supporters and consumers, we are entitled to our monies worth, and a fair few games now leave you questioning where the money actually went. Taking Destiny as the obvious example, I didn't expect Bungie to sell out and release a half assed product but they did. I voice that opinion and say that The Dark Below should have been included in the base game and now I'm a self-entitled berk with no common sense? No. On that note, contrary to what you say, a fair few companies aren't in it for the money. Taking CDPROJEKT RED as the obvious example. To say devs are out to rake in as much money as they can is just silly. They have a creative vision and they are out to express exactly that. How would anyone know a game is bad if nobody complains about it? Substance over sales in movies. Substance over sales in music. Substance over sales in GAMES. Once it becomes sales over substance, people justifiably have a problem. [spoiler]if your post is really about pedantic criticisms then you should just delete the entire thread.[/spoiler]

3 RepliesFINALLY SOMEONE WHO THINKS LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING INSTEAD OF A SELF ENTITLED DOUCHEBAG!!! totally agree on ur post dude, cant believe some pricks are so damn judgy on games, and i got 2 examples. Example 1: Darksiders 1 and 2 or the "series", so, darksiders 1 was dubbed a god of war clone back in its day and was not sold all that well since graphic whores couldnt get over the fact that it has its own art style, now darksiders 2, ill admit the game wasnt marketed too well and the word about this game didnt spread too much, but what i heared from the people that saw it and didnt buy it, i heared stuff like "oh a god of war clone but now with rpg elements, i see they didnt use another engine to make it look more realistic, im not buying this piece of sh!t." And stuff like that, guess what dumbasses? I bought it, passed it twice, played nearly 140 hours, tried to platinum it, and is now in my top 5 games of all time. Now, i understand its not everyones cup of tea, but why spread the word that its a bad game souly on the fact that it has its own art style that they dont like? I asked a few friends if they had heared about it and they replied with; "darksiders2? I heared it was a bad game from a few other people and that it looked terrible." Keep in mind i suggested it to my friends who LOVE good rpg games. :\ i told them to play it and that whatever bad thing they heared was bullsh!t, so they did, and fvcking loved it. Example 2: the borderlands series. Well, what can i say. People mocked it for having its own art style too, i also understand it aint everyones cup of tea. I also heared people saying it was bad since the game looked "old" with its graphics.... smh... the only legit reason i would agree for people bashing the series is because some games are broken when it comes to exploits and some mechanics not working right. At least it sold well and didnt kill its company like darksider 2 did, RIP THQ, u were a good team of devs.

4 RepliesI don't agree that all game companies are greedy, although I am willing to admit that maybe some are, and that includes the indie devs as well. It's not just a sense of self entitlement, it also has to do with players setting unreasonable expectations of the devs, and when the devs don't meet those expectations, the players bash them left, right, and center. Best example that comes to mind is Fallout. The first two games in the Fallout series were isometric point and click RPGs, developed by Black Isle Studio, and published by Interplay. Black Isle was in the middle of developing their Fallout 3 (aka Van Buren) when they were shut down, resulting in the cancellation of Fallout 3(Van Buren). Bethesda licensed the rights to make three Fallout games, starting with Fallout 3, before they outright bought the Fallout IP, lock, stock, and barrel. The Fallout 1 and 2 fanboys had mistakenly convinced themselves that Bethesda would resurrect Black Isle's Fallout 3. When that didn't happen, and Fallout 3 as we know it today was released, they came down on Bethesda like a ton of bricks(I remember one such fanboy on the Nukapedia Fallout wiki who was particularly bad, crapping on just about anyone who said anything positive about Fallout 3 until one day the Ban Hammer spoke).

That's why I refuse to fall victim to hype because then I can't be disappointed.
