"Innocence"

Fun is why we play video games. Having a laugh playing Goldeneye or Smackdown 2. So what has changed? Video games are still fun right?

Yes but many of us have been pulled into the world of graphics chips and memory etc… What has happened to the innocence of gaming, when specs and looks never mattered and it was down to having fun? Same with Football, watching and playing is great fun but when people delve into a clubs financial situation or how a person is trained and their transfer fee’s etc…

It makes me think should this worry us? Should we care about Emotion Engines or flipper chips? Should we waste our time reading up on the amount of polygons a console can shift? Shouldn’t we spend time looking up information about games?

I know we do look into the future games but we tend to concentrate on the consoles rather than the individual games. So I decided to ignore information on the Gamecube console and I started to look at Eternal Darkness instead. I discovered much more information than I had ever read in magazines about my most anticipated game. Moments later Turbonutter was talking about how Metal Gear Solid 2 can shift 20 million polygons and I realized he has got his priorities all wrong.

I look to those innocent games players who sit around playing games; they don’t argue whose consoles the best and why. They just play games and have fun and I have been dragged into the world of Specs and disc space. Sign Innocence is bliss.

WHAT? We where on MSN and we were arguing about optical discs when you said:

HA MGS2 can shift 20 million pollygons take that Nintendo.

No, someone said the GC had better graphics. You obviously weren't following.

Yes but i didn't attack PS's Graphical capabilitites and u said that for no reason just for a cheap shot!

Yes, and at least 50 times on the FOG but still no one understands. Sigh.

You said that on MSN.

No, but someone said the GameCube had better graphical capabilities than the PS2 so I put them right. The fact is, they're about the same.

Don't bother, it's all corporate BS, much like Sony's, Sega's and te Xbox's.

Dringo, once again you have got me all wrong. I care as little about specs as you do, but I don't like it when I hear lies and unfounded rumors in the forums (mainly Nintendo) and I put them straight. I get uptight about it sometimes because a lot of people here are ignorant of the facts and only believe what they want to believe.
