You’ve doubtless heard of the gamer stereotype. Mom’s basement, no friends, glued to a computer… But is there validity in this stereotype? Can gaming really ruin your social life?
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
A famous actor from Starship Troopers has showered praise on Helldivers 2 and said he is open to the idea of playing General Brasch.
I think most of us can guess the answer to this question.
When I get a new game, it's curtains closed, snacks out and controller/keyboard&mouse in hand. I think it also depends on how social you are with people on your friends list, but I do know that if I'm playing something like The Last of Us, I don't want to be disturbed until I'm done with the story.
simple...no.
example: facebook. no one comes over your house to facebook with you. or Twitter with you.
they will however come over and own you in tekken or nba2k.....games + friends + beer + bong + time away from girlfriends =nuff said.
me and my gf are together cause of our love of gaming,(and other things) all my friends like gaming, so nope
What social life?
No,I play basketball with friends every Wednesday and Friday. It's more if people have a big social life to begin with.
