I think the hardest thing for the average gamer is to admit when they're wrong, or to admit that they suck at a video game, or to admit that when they lost online, it was because they got outplayed. Whenever most gamers lose in games, it always just so happens to be because of the game, because something is overpowered, because of the map layout, because of team balancing, because of basically anything other than the fact that they got outplayed.

In the real world, when it comes to competition, like sports for example, you have to look the other person in the eye, and if you lose, you just accept defeat, no excuses. It seems like lots of gamers don't know what it's like to compete in real life, and they always come up with silly excuses.

DD-only game market would be cutting off a very large section of game buyers. Because of this I think it's still ten years or more away.

I Think the hardest thing for us gamers to do is pack up and leave system wars for good and go enjoy our game to the fullest.

[QUOTE="wyan_"]

I think the hardest thing to do is part with games and consoles, especially with all the fuss I read in news comments and forums every single time digital copies are mentioned. What gamer really doesn't collect games? I'm thinking there are hardly any of us who don't collect at least a little bit.

The hardest thing for a real gamer to do is to get up from a comfortable couch or chair and start flinging his arms or moving his body to play a game.

real gamers just play games, doesn't matter what type of game, doesn't matter how, i have gaming for 26 years and looking at buying kinect for the 360,i hate the idea of segregating gamers into different 'classes' who is more of a gamer, somebody who plays Halo for 2 hours a week or somebody who plays the gunstringer for 20 hours a week? Real gamers don't segregate or discriminate. Anyway Rant over, i would agree with the TC, i hate the thought of everything going digital, i love my disks but i am trying to get in the mindset of seeing my HDD as the 'physical' copy of all my games i download to it

I can't wait until the rest of the industry catches up to Apple in this regard.

I wouldn't say I collect games. I have no problems with digital downloads. I don't see the big deal. It saves me money (with steam anyway), that's more important than a physical case in my mind.
