So, caught up on E3. I got super hyped. The Last Guardian? I cried. I've been waiting for that for SO LONG.

But then I hoped on tumblr and... ugh. It's the same as it always is.

"Omg, everything at E3 is sexist! The only good games have girls in it!" (seriously?) or "LOL Ubisoft fails again!"

Like shit. I'm happy to see any games. All of them are looking good. But nope. No fun on tumblr. You HAVE to hate Ubisoft. You HAVE to hate EA. Everything from them is bad but Bioware! (yeah, ok). Like, it's ridiculous. I feel like a 90s kid again where all these new games bring up excitement for me to play them. But you look at the gaming "communities" online and everyone is bitching that everything sucks.

Like sheesh. I get you can criticize but it's like nowdays people are doing it to just be cool. I wish I could find someone who gets hyped about all the games like I do but it seems that if you're not criticizing trailers, you're not a true gamer.

Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go back to having fun instead of whining. Have fun with your shit, tumblr.

I haven't heard of The Last Guardian before E3, but the trailer for it looked awesome! Kinda lol'd at the comments on youtube though. Everybody is wondering when that dog/lemur/bird/bat thing is gonna die...lol.

The 90's was the golden era of games. Everybody was way more positive back then because games were still relatively a new thing (though officially the 80's were the 'golden era', but I wasn't born back then so not like I can agree to something I've never experienced). Final Fantasy 7, for example, had terrible graphics excluding the cut scenes and the steampunk-esque artwork. But people loved it anyway because of the story! Now they're going to remake it and I'm so happy <333

I'm also starting to think that perhaps people think it's "cool" to be so negative about today's games. Think hipsters, but replace your indie bands with EA and Ubisoft. I don't blame them *too* much though, because it had gotten to a point where nice visuals were the main selling pints for games. Boring storyline/gameplay, but realistic looking backgrounds and humans. At least the developers are trying to fix that now...like Watchdog...
