Hi guys
Ive been thinking about this for a few days and I thought I would put it to the forum to see what we all thought.
When I was reading Edge part of it jumped out and caught my eye. I was going to directly quote the text, but unfortunately Ive left my Edge at work and Im on hols just now. Nothing gets me to go into work when I am on Holiday so I'll just need to muddle by on my own.
It basically regarded the portion of gamers who seem happy moaning about the current state of play in the videogame market. Gamers who at times can only see the "dark side" of the current situation and therefore the ratio of good things to say : bad things to say greatly favours the bad. This leads to a lack of game playing motivation, and a general lethargic attitude towards the whole hobby.
At times I look at these forums and I can see where Edge is coming from. There are spells where it seems that the majority of us are unhappy, and maybe are expecting too much from the devlopers and console producers. I know that personally I am definately guilty of being negative towards certain aspects of the hobby. Always quick to critise, yet slow to congratulate.
What are your thoughts? Are we on the whole a bunch of Victor Meldrews, or are we a bunch of happy larrys?
