Dear self-proclaimed gaming god,
Thank-you for sending me your kind message to indicate my lack of gaming skills. I obviously value the skills of someone like you. Someone who is so good at the game he feels that finishing the game on Hardened or Ultimate Badass is beneath him.
I greatly appreciate someone who hasn't found all the collectables or finished a single challenge category, who haven't stopped the xenos getting across the
Sulaco barricade, defeated the Raven under 1:10, rescued someone from a lurker, or revived a partner, sharing their gaming wisdom with me.
The way you stand on top of the fence, thinking yourself invincible while daring spitters and boilers to do their worst is surely an inspiration to us all, and we can only hope to learn more from your example.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Not Giving a FRAK About Your Opinion and putting you instantly on my block-list!
OK, so what is it about some of these online gamers, who feel that FUN is secondary to CRUSHING THEIR ENEMIES AT ALL COSTS!
I guess it's once again being Anonymous Online that makes people like this in games. I can't honestly see someone playing Scrabble and when someone puts down a word that doesn't score very highly, standing up, pointing at them and shouting "Ha! You Suck!". Has anyone Ragequit a game of Cluedo (Clue for my American cousins) or Monopoly?
My own opinion on games is, I play for fun, for myself. If I get one kill, or 32 kills, it don't matter as long as the game's enjoyable. I'm also a team-player, so will sometimes distract marines, giving up my own life to give that boiler an opening to exploit. Don't usually get on the top of the leader board, but that's not really a problem is it?
Anyways, my take on it is, is some young teenager thinks they can shout down the mic or send messages to vent their frustration at a game, well they're gonna work themselves up to a heart-attack, not me!
