Windows 8: Worrisome for PC gamers?

[Rub'Rum]

It depends on the attraction power for the industry of dropping big projects for simpler projets that can be distributed by a hugely popular platform.

Do you realize how ignorant and ridiculous this comment is? Nobody who plays Angry Birds thinks it's a complex, deep, rich immersive game with a compelling narrative about the friggin human condition, dude. It's a mobile game, people play it on their phones while sitting in a waiting room. It's supposed to be simple. Do you think Portal 2 is a complicated game? It's not; also fairly simple. Whether you think Angry Birds stupid or not is just a matter of your personal taste, not an indication of the mental capacity of people playing it. (The fact that you'd interpret it as such says more about your own mental capacity than theirs, frankly.)



Or, maybe they are just normal, intelligent people stuck in line at the bank who can pull out their phone, kill 10 minutes playing a simple but fun game, and then go on with their day? I play that "kind" of game just like I play many other kinds of games. Guess what? I can't bring my desktop PC into the waiting room and don't have time to fire up a full game of Starcraft 2 or EU3 or Crysis 2 even if I could. I've got 5-10 minutes and my phone is in my pocket, so yes, I'm going to pick up my game of Angry Birds and finish the puzzle that I left off last time.

You guys really ought to grow up and move into the 21st century sometime. Gaming isn't just for your proverbial basement-dwelling Warcraft nerd anymore, and that's a good thing for everyone, even dedicated gamers.

This really isn't for this thread, but I don't understand why people feel the need to be in their phones continuously. Is real world interaction too much for some people? When I'm in the real world, I actually talk and interact with people, I don't bury my nose in some stupid phone game. Yes I do play games, and they aren't terribly complex, but I play them when I'm alone, and not in the company of others. Frankly, playing a game in front of other people is just rude in my opinion. It gives the impression that you are too good to talk to them.

This has not been my observation. No more so than walkmans or a book on the train.
