my only point is that there is opium for the masses and this is the like of online fps, where the only thing you get is offloading your most atavistic aggressions in a kind of dumb trance. and there is more interesting stuff, which by definition needs to be single player, because otherwise you cant tell any story. online games have to be dumb and repetitive, and this how many people are playing them or not doesnt make them any better in my eyes.
Wrong.
Some gaming experiences are simply impossible without FPS (and thanks to Windows being so shit and PCs needing incredibly powerful CPUs just to run that rubbish acceptably).
Let me see...I can play Cannon Fodder on a 16bit machine...or...I can play Battlefield 2 for free with 63 other people in a photo-realistic sandbox environment. The only dumb asses are the ones who will tell me there is
a. a difference in the act of playing the game
b. playing cannon fodder is the more immersive of those gaming experiences.
Sometimes technology finds a useful application, in this case it is bloatware OS needing ludicrously powerful CPU just to double click some desktop icons has led to super powerful game engines and liberated some, not all, game genres.
If you don't like it don't play, don't call people who roll with technology and enjoy the fruits of AMD/Intel's hard work in their current gaming dumb asses or other derogatory terms.
