Gaming has changed!

Gaming has changed. It's no longer about fun, challenges, or storytelling. It's an endless series of point whoring done by gamers on machines. Gaming - and its consumption of life - has become a well-oiled machine.

Gaming has changed. ID-tagged gamers play on ID-tagged consoles, use ID-tagged accounts. Specifications inside their save files enhance and regulate their rewards. Trophy control. Gamerscore control. Parental control. Region-specific differences control. Everything is monitored and kept under control.

Gaming has changed. The age of next-gen promises has become the age of control... All in the name of averting catastrophe from casual gaming and waggle. And he who controls the most features... Controls the console war.
Gaming has changed. When the consoles are under total control......Gaming becomes routine.

:cry::cry:

Isnt this true? is just about teh online, the achivements, the trophies, where did the fun go?

I don't like the direction consoles/videogames-in-generalare going in, most gamers here don't either. But we don't have control over the market anymore. Gaming is no longer a niche thing. Developers are trying to make games that will appeal to everyone - that takes a lot of sacrifices. All we can do is hold on to our nostalgia while the rest of the world moves on. Thats how its always been and will be.

I might as well spoil the fun and point out the reference...

This is the best gen yet unless your a hermit who can not socialize with people online.(Not Hermit as in PC user)SparkyProtocol

Is this your first generation of consoles? Or is it a joke?

op sounds stoned. no offense but gaming has clearly changed to you, because only somebody who takes gaming entirely too seriously would care about this stuff. i pop a game in my system and play it when i feel like it. theres not a lot more to it than that. 'everybody' is not obsessed with little dog treat rewards, and what difference do id tags make? who cares? the idea that anybody has a problem with collecting gs/trophies/whatever is totally beyond me. what if to some people 'teh trohpies' are fun? have you ever considered that?

spend less time caring about this stuff and more time playing fun games.

lmao, this has got to be the most epic post ever. good job TC!!! i remember watching that cutscene right after beating fallout 3 (SPOILERS: the last words of FO3 are War Never Changes") and then i saw the cutscene in MGS4 and its like "War has changed". w/e. yeah i guess that is somewhat true.

SilverChimera

"War...War never changes" are the firstwordsspoken(NOT SUNG!) in all three main Fallout games. >.> I hardly think something at the beginning of the game can be considered a spoiler.

Yep, gaming has changed. I still like the old school games but I also like the current ones as well. As for trophies or points for the online, Im totally fine with them. The only thing I dont like about this current generation is that you need a fancy HDTV to get the full experience. Other than that, Im liking this generation of games.

You dare desecrate the holy text of hideo?! (jk)

I do have to disagree though. I've never held achivements or trophies in much high regard. We've seen good good multiplats and awesome exclusives.

Even the Wii threw off the casual garb with quite a few good hits.

This generation of consoles has brought us into the first steps of "photorealism"

Crysis has shown us wow factor possible in the next bounding leap.

MGS:4 has kept story telling alive.

Super Mario Galaxies gave us a new twist on platform games.

Gears of war ramped up the badassness of fighting an invading race slowly taking the earth with ****ing chain saws.

We've seen vast technical innovation in the Cell and Xenos.

I see gaming as an changing mass, yes, time a liquid that flows about the core, stripping some aspects and bringing others.

Refining the dirt and rock, reveling gems, and polishing them smooth with the silt of hundreds of shovelware titles.

Region free made a come back on the PS3 and PSP, and the DS got the same treatment until the DSi Revision, which i assume is to keep downloadable content in the respective stores.

I beleve gaming this generation, made large leaps forward...

then ****ing casuals came around and ruined everything (i jest :D)

Yep, it sure has, and we're enjoying it.

Weekends?

I usually never have problems with PC games, and if I do there's usually a patch that takes a few minites to download and install.

In fact, the only time PC gaming really requires any work is if you're using Linux and are using WINE to run windows apps.
