So far this generation of videogames has seen some real classic gems that make us gamers to be proud however there is a dark side and there has been a few things that might make you look at our hobby and make you think "what the hell".
Well below is 5 things that i think can put anybody off videogames for a long time and that will make them cringe when they hear or see the word videogames.
1 - When the Wii was announced it was a breath of fresh air to us gamers that something new was about at arrive however what we didn't expect was the constant barrage of really low quality shit to hit us and unfortunately that's exactly what happened.
Normally the games that are on the Wii at the moment surface when a console is about to die but for them to be popping up this often in the early cycle of a consoles life is laughable.
I'm not saying the Wii is a bad console i am saying that if you have only got a Wii be prepared to scream a lot at the lack of great games.
2 - There is another console out there that is also at the moment something that will make you scream and that's Sony's PSP, however with this one it's not down to the quality of the games but the lack of quantity that is the problem.
The PSP can be a great little handheld with it's PS2 style graphics however developers don't think so as there seems to be a lack of anything on there so when it comes down to choosing a game to play on it you are limited to only a few great titles.
The main proof that the PSP is lacking in games is that even Sony don't know what to do with with them now limiting it down to just spin offs from there PS3 collection.
3 - There is two word's that seem to be thrown around a lot with this generation of gaming and that's "Casual" and "Hardcore" and with these 2 words comes a lot of stick from each one of the market with gamers demanding that you either put a game in one of the 2 categories however what they don't realise is that they are being the biggest cocks around by forcing two stupid words on us that makes us think that we have to pigeon hole ourselves into one of two stupid categories.
Before this generation arrived we didn't care what kind of gamer we were but now if you say that you are a casual gamer you get laughed upon by the hardcore and if you say that you are a hardcore gamer then the casual market just call you nerds etc, but what they don't realise is that they are the biggest idiots and making us all gamers out to be idiots and that we should be locked in a zoo.
4 - Originality is a word that isn't often used in the world of vdeogames any more and that's down to the fact that if anything new comes out the people who have been playing games for a while get a bit scared and it creates a bad light on the people who want to play games for the first time.
You see everybody is after something a bit original but when that happens nobody wants to embrace it making videogames look like something that isn't new thus shunning out anybody who wants to play a videogame for the first time.
The only people who do embrace something new is the people who have been playing games for most of there lives however it is only these people who get that and society as a whole looks down on them like they have a disease or something.
5 - Before this generation of gaming kicked off there was only a select group of people that played online games on there consoles however with the advent of the 360 that soon changed and invited the masses into the world of online console gaming however this ended off to be one big huge mistake as people would get terrorised from the get go.
You see if you have been playing online games for a while then you are use to the idiots calling every single name under the sun however if you are new to this prepare to become one of the most hated people alive for just being you.
The worst thing about online gaming is that it makes you become a jekyll and Hyde person, one minute you are speaking nice and normal with your friends then the next you are calling somebody because they did something different to you or they are slightly better than you at something.
One thing they do have to remember is that gaming does not revolve around you and that there might be someone out there better than you so you should just take online gaming as something fun and not so seriously.
So there is my 5 things that might put people off from this generation however you do have to realise that there is many things that should put you onto gaming and that this isn't a hobby for just the select few.
If you have anymore you would like to add to the list feel free to leave a comment and tell me what you think
