Realism and how it's ruining everything and attracting more boring people who think they are superior to you because they do not have an imagination.

Yeah, fantastic. I love being told to grow up and get my head out of the clouds because I like fantasy games and JRPGs. Kind of counter productive to the purpose of video games too if you think about it.

Agreed. Most creativity and innovation comes from the things that are unrealistic. With everyone trying to make their games as realistic as possible, it's no wonder the industry is currently lacking in innovation and fresh experiences.

i enjoy realism in certain type of games.and really have no issue with people who enjoy jrpgs even though they aren't for my taste.

D3mons0ul5239d ago (Edited 5239d ago )

I'm just saying the modern push for realism in gaming has only done more harm than good. Not making any all encompassing blanket statements about all people who play them, just the ones who will judge you for being different and liking different things.

These people do exist.

I mean, it makes sense. With Vol.2 coming and all that

Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.

If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."

Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"

Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"

And? What is your point?

Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"

I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:

"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."

So again, what is your point?
