I see so much hate today in the online gaming world. Why? Honestly, i can't get a good reason. Though, i must say back in day like i've stated before i've done my fair share of hating. So, i'm sort of flaming my old self here. I'm not trying to flame haters in any sense. I'm getting tired of whining and complaining. They are both coupled with hating. I've seen plenty of people complain about a certain games upbringing. When the game is finally released, it's mainly a moment of silence for what could of come. What this game could have been if done correctly. We say that a lot to ourselves. "What could have happened?" The answer is always... A lot of things. Games aren't perfect. Some are very far from it. There is no sense of perfection in a game. A game will never be truly perfect. In that sense i mean, everyone will love it. Everyone has different taste, styles and wishes. I can't condone hatred. I can't stop it either. I wish i could. Hating a game just makes more people angry. Hence "Fan Bois" and the "Haters" Post.
I love being fans of online games. It makes it that much better for me to play. When watching sports. You love watching your favorite football team play. Them being your favorite makes it so much better right? Same with online games for me. If i'm a fan of the game. Oh yeah, i'm going to play it. Doesn't mean i'm going on the boards and defend it constantly. I may defend some aspects of the game i like. I won't stealth the boards waiting for a post to come up and defend it. (Not that people do that, just using that as an example). Difference has it's own style of hatred. Everyone is different we all know this to be true. Everyone has different style in gaming. I've found online games to be some what of a release for me. I get online, play a couple of hours. Raid, PvP, Level. It releases some anger, or whatever emotion i have inside me. Sadly, whenever i get on these forums it seems hatred is always here. I love reading what people have to say. It's one of my favorite things to do actually. It's just the fact of so much hatred out there it's just becoming silly.
I realize a lot of people like to express themselves. So do I. It just depends on how you express yourself that works. You can go out there, be a friendly guy, discuss in an intelligent matter or... You can be that guy who isn't really level headed and goes headstrong into a match he really isn't prepared for. We are all intelligent. I don't care how old you are. We all are smart in some fashion. Use some intelligence that you have when flaming. There is a thin line between flaming, and talking. A lot of people have a different way of reading flames. They may take a simple insult as a huge one. I'm not saying that's bad for a person. It's how it works for them. I take things with a grain of salt. You can insult me and my games all you want. I will barely care. It's not like that for everyone. I've seen in many FPS games, people who are newbies at the game get flamed and harassed for dying so many times. It's annoying and usually i stick up for them. No one likes to get laughed or made fun of. Think before you speak is what i'm really getting at. Sometimes even for me it's very hard to do in gaming. In the moment, don't want to lose your heat. I get that. Forums are a sense of free speech. When your flaming, are you actually hurting the game? Hurting yourself? Hurting the people involved?
When discussing games i love to be silly. Crack jokes about the game(In a good sense). Every game can have a good conversation peice. I must be honest though. I do get pissed off when a game doesn't deliver what the hype says. Sometimes thats my own fault though. Who knows? We believe in which we want to believe. Sometime it's not a good thing. I can't really hope in gaming anymore. Though, i believe in the future someone, something will give us hope. I believe that to be true. In saying that, i'm not saying i hope there is a messiah of gaming. No game will be god of all. I'll correct myself... I believe there will be a game in which it delivers. I know a lot of people wish for that too. I stand by you wishing for it. Who knows? Maybe it will come sooner than we thought, or later? Whenever it does come, i will be here watching and posting. I'm not dying anytime soon... I hope. Haha.
Thanks for reading guys. I'll be back monday. Cheers!
