..You're a traditionalist aren't you? Let me' guess -- "If it ain't broke don't fix it..." :lol :lol :lol
No, I just like superior controllers. I'll accept anything that makes the controller better. If I could fix anything about the DualShock 2, I'd probably just switch the D-Pad with the Left analog stick. And two of the top bottons would be triggers. That would, literally, be the perfect controller. Nothing could improve it, so far as I can tell from what we can choose from. Maybe what Revolution comes up with will change my mind, but... well... we'll see.

I'm so happy that you aren't creating games that we purchase --- One day, you'll accept the fact that not every game is meant to be played/enjoyed by you.
Every single game out there has to appeal to me, and has to not be shitty for me to like it. I'm
pretty old now, nothing's going to change about me - sorry to disappoint you. I look at videogames from my perspective, and I judge them as such. I don't say "Oh lol so u liek it must not be made for me!"

I personally detest playing World of Warcraft... but I'll be damned if I don't respect it and recognize it as an amazing game
You don't like it, but you recognize it's an amazing game? Don't be a pussy. If you don't like it, say so. Say "This game is fucking shite to me, here's why." I don't consider a game
amazing just because a lot of other people do. I also don't recognize a game as amazing even if it's widely accepted as such. The only two things I acknowledge are the facts that other people may like things I don't, and that if I don't like a game it sucks.

It's not really so hard to put yourself in others shoes, and see the pure glee they experience from Animal Crossing -- just don't be so selfish.
It has absolutely nothing to do with being selfish. Animal Crossing is the worst game ever made. I have no qualms with telling you that is the way I feel. I don't care who the fuck the developers were trying to appeal to with it, it was offensive how wreckless they were in creating a game with absolutely no merits. And yet, people
still bought into it - something I accept. I just won't accept that Animal Crossing is anything other that garbage, since that's
my perspective. Since I find no redeeming values in it, I won't put on a charade like "I can respect the impact it had on the gaming world, 'cuz a lot of ppl like it see!"

Dude, Animal Crossing = Earthbound (except it tells you to stop playing video games and go outside in a different, much more boring way).
And what's sickening is the fact that so many people buy shit like FFX-2 but not enough by Skies of Arcadia to warrent a sequal. Plus people who buy every fucking ea sports game.
Dude, don't disgrace Earthbound by comparring it to Animal Crossing.
Also, I agree about FFX-2. I also hate that game.

You haven't played WWE RAW 2, Taboo: The Sixth Sense, or any number of crappy Atari and NES games, I take it.
Hating a game is one thing. Blatantly ignoring the many folks who liked it is another. But I'll keep it out of this thread, since Drinky Crow (or drohne) will likely show up and try to impress us with an arrogant comment about the game.
Seriously, either Animal Crossing isn't the worst game you've ever played, or you haven't played many games. I can definitely understand not liking the game. I do not understand the unwillingness to acknowledge the praise that has come for a game that is so clearly unlike anything els on the market. I mean, if I had a choice between getting rid of the games EA releases on a yearly basis or getting rid of completely different games like Animal Crossing, Katamari Damacy, Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Wanda, and Okami, I would choose to sacrifice EA's stuff. Why? Because no one forces you to look at Animal Crossing. I'm forced to stare straight at convention whenever I walk into a store. That's worth a 10 on its own.
I've played fucking
ET. I'd tell you if I was gettin' at hyperbole. I believe, with no hesistation, Animal Crossing is the worst game
EVER made. And I seriously can't believe you tried to use an attempt at being different as an excuse to keep about tripe. If something is tripe - and obviously you don't think Animal Crossing is - it's garbage. It doesn't deserve to exist. On the other hand, many EA games ARE good. Just because they're mass marketed and appeals to the lowest common denominator doesn't mean they can't also be good. A lot of them also suck. In such cases, they should be treated just like Animal Crossing.
It's worth noting that I'm not "ignoring" other folks who like Animal Crossing. I'm simply not going to sugar coat my opinion.
