oooh *sniffles* you were actually waiting for me to come here? So yes, I did, mainly becasue now I'm free at home and because I was worried/curios why you still had not answered the 'why do you need 15 endings in the same game' question... and what do I find?:
However, I don't spend my time more or less calling people who do like those - or, hell, PC gamers, for that matter - idiots. WHEN have I said that????? I know for sure I have never called any gamer an idiot, of any kind, so please don't put words in my mouth. Besides I've been very educated I think, a bit ironic/sarcastic but educated after all, and trying to always give good arguments to my words, a person playing bad games is not an idiot, that person only needs to try different games XD
What happens and the reason why pc gamers are always the ones who start the wars is because we are very worried for what is happening nowadays with games, the good ideas are dying replaced for simplified, repetitive and short games only to appeal more people and sell more, and while the console manufacturers are the ones deciding the games created or the ones paying to create the games they want this will not change. WE have played more differnt games and seen diferent game styles (I think almost all game styles were created for PC, Amiga, spectrum or commodore 64) and we, and me personally, are too worried for how this willl end. Any of the greatest and most inovative games are sales succes, why? too complex... If the players don't demand better games they will always create crappy ones.
(better don't answer to the question above, was a trap, to give me a base to rant against cutscenes in front of longer and better gameplay, you know, when watching cutscenes you don't actually play ^_~)
