Life is a lot more enjoyable when you stop caring about what other people think.

The further you get from other people's opinions the more you'll like things.

I should just let my whole body go to shit instead if living up to stands
Everyone somewhere says negative things about everything that everyone likes.
That's why when someone throws a negative comment at a thing you enjoy, you have to analyze it very quickly to yourself:
-Does it seem well thought out?
-Does it seem objective?
-If not then is it biased from current mood/emotion or past experience?
-Does it actually make sense?
-Do you agree?
-If not then why?
And then respond accordingly, or ignore it.

Yeah, everything that I've seen and heard of then gameplay makes it out to be competent and enjoyable.
The marketing has been atrocious, but it's Sony. I expect shit marketing.
Not me, because I'm the most critical person I know.

Yup. I pretty much stick to a few selective threads. Only really venture into threads that are news related. Having so much fun not caring. .
A lot of people say that, very few understand what that actually means, let alone accomplish it.
The problem is that they also always have the creative director/narrative designer to do all the interviews, so he is mostly only going to talk about story and mood.
In polar opposide, ND has Bruce Straley (Game director) and Neil Drukmann (Narrative) on together doing interviews, so both gameplay and story are talked about.
The PR for the order was a complete mess.
Although, I will give them this
Celebrating a game going gold by having a champagne fight is pretty sick.

Opinions on things that haven't released are the most founded.

Yes, outside perspectives can be very useful along with introspection.
The key is filtering out the ones worth a damn, of which are extremely scarce.
something something realgaf
But if you can manage it, you'll be a lot happier overall.

Of course. What better time to form an opinion on something than before you've had anything to do with it?

To go back to an earlier topic but here's some more good non-game music:
Gorillaz - Demon Days Album. A staple in anyone's music library, if you don't have it you quantifiably have bad taste in music.
Dethklok - Dethalbum. Some of the best sounding American produced metal, ironic that a parody band is responsible for it
Matthew Good Band - Everything is Automatic. My favourite track off their greatest hits album, In a Coma. Despite not being a fan during their heyday, their sound makes me nostalgic for the 90s.
Danko Jones - Sleep is the Enemy. A pure rock sound about a pure rocker lifestyle. Canadian too, eh

take responsibility!
As you know I used to care way to much what other people think
But if you don't care *at all* about what other people think, you're basically a sociopath.
What I had to realize was that it's OKAY to care about what other people think, but what they think should never ever matter more than what I think about myself or impact my own happiness.
That's the balance between not being miserable from not being able to please everyone and not being an unfeeling piece of shit that puts their feelings and desires before everyone else's.

I feel like an at least form an opinion when the developer (or perhaps the shit head in charge of PR) has said some really stupid things that make me not want to play it

I guess I'm a sociopath then <.<
I stopped caring about what people thought long ago..became much happier that way.
Edit: If I care about that person, then their opinion will matter to me, but if it's just random people I really won't care.
The weird thing is, is that I was super into DDR back in the day. Like not enough to be GOOD, but enough to have bought two dance mats for the PS2 and get to like... Standard, I think? Which was mindblowing for the people around me.
But I knew the truth. The truth of garbage.
You misunderstand. I adore electro, but Eurobeat is too little song for too long. (i.e. most electronic music does tiny variations in their with the main melody repeating to keep the general song fresh, whereas EB relies too much on speed to carry people through the rhythm. Like how many times in EB is the chorus repeated in a song? Like 5?)
Oh, I've played the games at a friends house. Both on PS3 and on the PSP. The game is fun and super addicting, but I don't think I like the music enough to encourage me to continue ENJOYING the game while being addicted, if that makes any sense.
Also there's no fucking way I'd be able to play the games without excessive judging on my family's side anyways.

I feel like sometimes I end up on that particular end of the scale, and wonder if it's ever alright. And most of the time I feel okay with that.
I remember as I was entering middle school I wanted to get into playing Guitar Hero, but I was also enjoying DDR arcade machines and ended up with one of the home versions that Christmas. Several years down the line, I look back and think I made the right choice in rhythm game to invest in (even if it's just me playing DDR Extreme till the end of time).
Speaking of which, probably gonna make another visit to the Seattle Gameworks and do my next Bemani regiment. Yeah, tomorrow isn't the start of February, but I might as well get that out of the way.

I care about what some of you think. Not all though. The ones that I do care about know who they are.
Precisely, most people take the stance too far and turn themselves into stubborn pieces of shit that don't know the definition of reasonable and ultimately become unlikable and have well and truly earned their loneliness at that point.
It's human nature to want to abandon one extreme for the other when it's not to your liking, we see it all the time with religion for example.
It's very easy to do the exact opposite of what you were doing before, but it's not so easy to learn that there is a time and a place for everything.
As always, there needs to be balance.
Special shoutouts also go to Stylo featuring Bobby Womack, On Melancholy Hill,
Every Planet We Reach is Dead, Fire Coming out of the Monkey's Head, and especially Dare.
Jack is now the crooked politician of this thread.
That, or it was his stand!
And yeah, i dont really care for the order either.

Best gorillaz song is dirty harry
This is actually the best idea ever and no one can ever say otherwise. It's not bad taste as much as it's simply my/your/his/her taste.
So its David Cage 2 electric boogaloo?
Do you mean the Denko guy? Because it was the girl that was called Denko

It's why I rarely go beyond the OP of most threads in gaming section and try to avoid anime threads. I like a lot of things and negativity depresses me, which is in abundance with most anime and game fans.

Nothing super creepy has happened to the main character yet so I wouldn't say so.

If there's anything that bums me out or clouds judgment of a game, it's reviews/peer comments/GAF.
Hyperbole is very frequently thrown around. I'm complicit in doing that as well.
