Just to poke a quick little thing at this:

When the author of the linked article said "online-only friends are not real friends", s/he most of their credibility, because that's bullshit.

*waves checkered flag*

Okay, back to the topic at-hand! Which I don't recall what that was.

I stopped reading after that part. So by that logic, if people met their would-be husband/wife in an online game, their whole relationship's based on a lie? OK.

Ouch. Haven't been on all day. Glad I checked here before I logged in thanks for the heads up.

For those of you can't seem to understand or grasp that older gamers who have continued to strive for challenging games or struggle to look for titles worthy of purchase, allow me to give you some simple details.

Games these days are getting shorter and shorter(mainstream or not) and far easier.Catering to a larger crowd so to speak that the Wii introduced.To put it simply this crowd wasn't that big at all at first.They started creeping up in the ps2 era and games started to show a bit more leniency with their difficulty. Main franchises however remained untouched.

Then the Wii came and the casual gaming boom, followed by the social gaming boom that took advantage of that. Now in order to get more sales games are getting easier and easier. This ruins many games for gamers like us which in turn makes it so"there isn't many games out there to be interested in". Only a few games these days retain any difficulty like the real games had but even then there is usually some obvious exploit to make it all easy(Dark Souls i am looking at you).

Simple definition of us would be "core gamers". And even then we are a small percentage of the current "core" gamers.

I don't understand why there was such a lack of understanding.

Anyway i suppose ill get back to work on my Let's Plays on my youtube channel.It is something to do at least.

I think the poster left out a word by accident."Lost" most of his/her credibility i believe was what was trying to be stated here.

And the poster's comment you just quoted was AGAINST the idea of a relationship like that being a lie.

Gotta translate people today lol

So that's who I see on youtube making all of those let's play videos. I always was annoyed by them because a guy would be talking a bunch when I just want to watch the gameplay or story. Lol

It's like every thread that pops up in general quickly devolves into a shitstorm no matter what.

It's fucking hilarious. +1 for PSOW.

Fixed.
