Re: not op

[(Anonymous)]

But something like "gaming journalist" or a "game reviewer" is different from "gamer." The same way a "geek journalist" is different from a geek. Geek = you are into one or more geeky things. Gamer = you like games.

Should someone who only plays any one genre or company of game sign up for a job like that, no. But that's like saying no one can call themselves a geek because they only like tabletop games. They don't like PC or console gaming, movies, animanga, TV, et cetera et cetera, and because they have no interest in, or are cutting themselves off from massive geek bases, they have no right to consider themselves a geek. Shun that poser!

... except I wasn't talking about games journalism.

Look if you're* one of those people who come home from work and just want to bang out on Guitar Hero or whatever for an hour or two, and you don't care about gaming in general, that's one thing. What I have a problem with are people who are all I ONLY PLAY (X FRANCHISE) I R GAMAR!!!!! HAY GUIZE WATS UP OH R U TALKING ABOT FALOUT I NEVAR PLAYED THAT ZELDA IS SOOOOO MUCH BETAR!!!!11**

(anon that posted above) I did say commenting on games journalism sites, not actually reviewing games or having a journalism job ;)
But if gamer = likes games, then honestly, people who only play Nintendo games are not gamers. They don't like games; they have no overarching love for the medium, only for Nintendo. Not to say that they are lesser than other people, or that they cannot become 'gamers' in that sense, but they are only 'gamers' if I'm a film buff because I really like Avatar.

Re: not op

Avatar is a single movie, though. At the risk of sounding like a butthurt Nintendo fan, which I'm decidedly not - my tastes run to RTS - Nintendo is a lot more diverse than that, and surprisingly have good games that aren't Mario, Kirby, and Zelda.

Metroid? Advance Wars? The Mother series? Fire Emblem? Golden Sun? Pokemon? People seem to forget these because all they know of Nintendo is "LOL MARIO."

It may not be diverse company-wise, but if they love all of them, they do have a feel for many of the gaming genres out there. (Obvs not talking about only the Mario and Kirby fans.)

Re: not op

ARE YOU KIDDING?! POKEMOOOON?! THAT'S FOR TEN YEARS OLD!!!1ONE!

People seem to forget these because all they know of Nintendo is "LOL MARIO."

This. And also, I just wish I can put a wiimote in the "LOLMARIO" people's hands and make them play Super mario galaxy or new super Mario bros. These games make me invent new curses and insults.

(And no, I'm not a Nintendo elitist. I have a ps3, too, and a pc, and enjoy a lot of diffirent games. I'm just tired of all this people saying "Nintendo games are for kids!")

Re: not op

pokemon is the very definition of repetitive games. good lord i could only play through one and any other i tried to play it was just more of "DIDN'T I PLAY THIS ALREADY?" At least Zelda and Mario and those other games have slightly different game mechanics.

Re: not op

[(Anonymous)]

Uh yeah because the mechanics of every Halo are totally different amirite? The anon was talking about the variety of genres within Nintendo games, not about the variety of genres within one series.

Re: not op

[(Anonymous)]

That is, to be more accurate, like you calling yourself a film buff because you love everything by Universal Studios, as opposed to the single movie Avatar.

Re: not op

[(Anonymous)]

well yes fair enough. I thought about that when I posted, but it shows how much I really know about films when I can't even bring a large movie studio to mind to use as a simile :D;
