What does 'gamer' mean? Why is it important, to whom is it important, and what does it do? What makes or defines a gamer? Anthony Coughlin takes a brief look at the history of the 'gamer'.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
Gamer: Someone who plays games all day and all night.
These mysterious creatures form spiritual bonds with a lump of plastic, often defending that piece of plastic to the bitter, bloody end.
Gamers joins websites in the dark corners of the internet and have verbal battles, which often leading to lifelong grudges.
Pictures of girls sends this creature into a frenzy, ironically, it's only in this savage frenzy that gamers actually get along with one another.
Gamers are the scapegoats of society.
Gamers have mastered the art of playing with one hand, often holding a drink, food or a body part in the other.
Gamers are not shy about attacking other gamers, but if a regular person attacks gaming, they will unite, moan and disperse in a matter of minutes.
Certain gamers let their plastic box go to their heads and lash out at anyone who doesn't share their opinion. If you even speak to one of these "Feral Gamers", you will begin to lose brain cells. Avoid at all costs.
A GAMER IS A HUMAN BEING FROM PLANET EARTH.
A gamer is someone who plays video games as a hobby.
A miserable pile of...
oops sorry, wrong article
A true gamer buys games for the love of the experience it provides. A sense of escapism. A true gamer defends his right to engage in constrive debate on the issues and affords opinion an opportunity to permeate his perception. A new generation gamer struggles to find work...uses games to pacify their obvious inadequacies and hijacks forums to try and convince gamers of three things.
1. Consoles for next gen should be sold at $300. Because they are too lazy to work and save up for a proper gaming experience.
2. Advises gamers of their superiority when it's obvious they can't hold down a conversation due to their ADD.
3. Forces their ignorant opinion on why one console brand is better than the next because they can only afford 1.
So....there will be chaos in 2013-14 as these lazy Generation Y gamers pursue their desperate attempts to enforce mainstream mediocrity. Game companies will go bankrupt and we will be forced to play games that require inaccurate body gestures aimed at a younger generation. We will have no choice but to play sport games that tweak minor advances year on year. Eventually we will have to adapt to 99c games on a thin screen that tries hard to mimick a proper gaming experience.
