Mindless entertainment taken too seriously

Posted by Twone - April 4th, 2009


I bought Gears of War 2 about three months ago. After playing and loving the first Gears game, I decided to get the second. This gameplay is just as good as the first. But here's my problem... online play.

I figured this game would be full of cool gamers and douchebags out there, but I was wrong. Everyone is a fucking crybaby. When I kill someone on the game, some kid pisses himself and says I stole his kill. Boo fucking hoo, it's a videogame, cry abouti t. Speaking of crying, whenever something goes wrong for some player or if they die, they literally start crying. I heard a guy cry because he wasn't getting any kills. In fact, his exact words were, "I'm 35 years old and I'm crying over a videogame." Are you kidding me? What the hell are you doing on Xbox live anyway? I'm going to assume he lives in the basement of his parent's basement.

Sometimes when I'm playing this game, my friend plays with me (because this is all he does). Whenever I get killed because I made a mistake, he calls me a "fucking idiot." Good one, asshole. Because if I don't get this game right, I won't get anywhere in life. Which leads me to another thing: once I was playing on live and some guy wanted to boot me. Why? "You don't know what you're doing. Not that you're not cool or nothin, but you have to play this game with the team. You can't go running off." Fuck you, I play this game however the fuck I want. Why is this game ruled by shovanistic assholes? Fuck this game, I'm going back to N64.

I really can't see why people take this game so seriously. Or any game over Xbox live. I really don't give a shit about gamerscore, and I really don't think anyone else should either. Videogames are meant for fun and mindless entertainment, not as a lifestyle. Unless you're a game desginer or game tester or getting paid in the field of gaming. If you're playing a game and you get pissed off about something, just do everyone a favor and let it go.

Yeah., I know! Every game I played that was good online, never was a popular game.
Not gonna play online anymore, it's just boring after you played a certain amount.
Will play LAN and Single instead.

wow, ask the guys to pay a subscription fee and they get all serious, I've never heard of something like this before, a guy in my Spanish class talked about a time he was freeroaming multiplayer in GTA4 on live and they were all just messing around and having fun, they all just got into a bus and he drove while the rest shot everything,
