Damn, your writing is so stylish that I, in spite of disagreeing with you, I think this article is very good.
However, I think that you missed one thing. Games are very simple to play. Sure, RTS titles are a lot harder than, let's say, Street Fighter. Soul Edge is a game for veterans. But heck, grab a mouse and play Doom 3 and tells me there's a steep learning curve in it? As long as you are coordinated to move the mouse and use the keyboard at the same time, the game is simple.
And when you say that playing Halo online is a pain, well, that is true with any title. Get Dance Dance Revo and play with a hardcore gamer -- it's almost fun to realize how much you suck. Hardcore gamers (who you usually find online) will beat casual gamers to shame faster than you can say OMG!. Flag this | Edit this post |
