Congrats on the 2 years though, I have been reading since day one, well day 0 when this was still sore thumbs blog."
I totally agree here. It all depends on the community around the game. Recently I have been playing Killzone 2 online and that community seems a ton more mature and in general have a bit more respect for other players in the lobby. I remember a bit after Project Gotham Racing 3 came out and all of the less serious racers that just bought this game cause it was a lunch game left, the game got pretty good as far as clean racing goes. I can count on one hand the truely bad games I have had in Team Fortress 2.
Like you said, the community has to take responsibity for themselves, but then again, how do you go and try to regulate a community like CoD with such a huge audience? Everyone and their sisters are playing these games."
I still have not gotten into mobile or the smaller games on what seems increasingly encroaching forefront. I have always been a handgeld gamer since I the Gameboy and Gamegear back in the day, and now still have a Playstation Portable and Nintendo DS, and still play those ocasionally on the go. I guess since I have gotten older and am spending less time at home, I have played more portable games, especially since they have gotten a little more advanced and there is much more substance there in the games.
And as far as how I still play games, I take forever on games. Even if they are short games such as Bioshock. It took me a year to play through that game, but I would just pick it up and play for a chapter or whatever, and then put it down and go back to Halo 3, Team Fortress 2 or whatever other single player game I was playing. I love taking my time in games and just taking in everything at my own slowpoke pace. Alll the Grand Theft Autos have always taken me forever to beat. Grand Theft Auto 3 took me a year and a half to beat. Grand Theft Auto IV took me about the same time to beat. I am not sure why, I just never found an urgency to beat games the week they come out. I guess I read books this way as well where it can take me months to finish a book."
