So I'm sitting here snacking on my mom's chocolate birthday cake which has enough sugar that can put a Rhino into diabetic shock when I think to myself, "Should I go waste more time on my Xbox?". I decided no, which is why I'm here. I enjoy playing videogames as much as the average 19-year-old guy does. My current game of choice is Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, by Ubisoft. I love the multiplayer that finally came out with it, and the story that it follows is absolutely phenomenal. A little confusing but great nonetheless. Knowing that it isn't the highest played online game some of you might not know how it is. Just a quick run through, 8 player free for all, kill your target, don't be killed. Simple but fun.
I enjoy the online gaming a lot, and I've played Call Of Duty, and Gears Of War and games of the shooter genre. But when you get online it becomes a verbal warzone. You have the cliche 12 to 14-year-olds who are there to have a good time, but instantly irritate the older guys who are in the same lobby. And then when it comes to the older guys player either they're heckling the younger kids or they constantly talk shit because they had 20 kills and 4 deaths and other players didn't do so well. If you have played at least 2 hours of this online, you would know what i'm talking about. I was once playing CoD: MW2 one day and this one guy kept talking and talking.....aaaaand talking. I told him once " Hey man, this is a videogame, you don't have to constantly boast about how well your doing or how you're getting killed by someone who's using the same gun as you are and is clearly kicking your as while doing it". And of course he replies with several vulgar and inappropriate comments, just so he can sound like the tough guy. And of course because he plays Call Of Duty, he would do perfectly well in the real world with a sniper rifle. First, these games are not even close to what the real thing is, and second, 9 times out of 10 he would be shitting himself with bullets whizzing by his face. And they continue on and on about their kill death ratio and 10th prestige rank. "Great job! You can press a button! Do you remember Deedee from Dexter's Lab? "OOOOooooo what does this button do?? You know, all that stuff that matters in the real world. I like the recognize these people as "That Guy".
Lets dive into the financial part of these games. Lets see, 65 bucks for the new mindless, run of the mill, "just like all the others" shooter that comes out yearly. Yeah I'm not too interested. Once a year, I get between 2 and 3 new games, and they're usually for Christmas. Although I probably will pre-order Assassin's Creed Revalations because that series has me hooked until it ends. But when people ask me, "Have you played this this and that?" No. "Well why not?" Cause I don't have 8 hours a day to waste on my Xbox and parents who can buy me all these games. Then there's the whole, "Oh you must suck at that game then."....Did you not hear my last statement or are you developmentally disabled?
I know this doesn't change much, but being the whole tough guy though a microphone and a controller doesn't do you much good. Have fun being as I mentioned earlier "That Guy" and good luck with your future cause if you're spending more than 5 hours a day in front of your TV screen doing so, your future is slowly slipping away, Team Deathmatch after Team Deathmatch.
Lemme know how you feel or if you wanna argue i'm all ears!
