Ugg.. The power ''fantasy'' could be applied to anything, but funny enough . I agree with him. In RPG it often the case. You mostly create and play has the most powerful,handsome character in the story. Thus power fantasy. You're the big hero and every lady(or guy) want to sex you and every common people look weak compared to how awesome you are. Thus power fantasy and I have absolutely no problem with it. It's a victimless crime

According to this guy, it seems that it's a crime against humanity.
So if I say I have fun playing Tetris then I'm pretty much just a sadist right?
There's not much I find more pleasurable then watching those blocks have their innocent lives blown out of existence
Sometimes I even like to build them up, give them the illusion that they will be able to survive in peace and then BAM inflict the greatest amount of suffering all at once.
Who says there are angry gamers? Oh wait.....

I take it back.

FWIW, I hate the power fantasy aspect in many RPGs where the world is handed to you on a platter. I love RPGs where you have to struggle to survive and you're on the same level playing field (i.e operate under the same ruleset) as most other people, with you developing skills and becoming stronger the more things you do, but never to the point where you can take on waves and waves of opponents without breaking a sweat. Unless such things are inherently built into the story or given proper context, that's just lazy design IMO.

In regards to his tweet it's a bit misleading, not entirely untrue, but misleading.
I mean sports does the exact same thing.

Honestly sports is a dozen times worse, they have installed fanbases and kind of venom spewing back and forth as a core concept.
Whenever I re-visit a lot of the games I liked, I'm kind of amazed by how much nicer they are than the stuff I see mainstream things or even in anime. Like Star Ocean 2 you basically spend the first 2 hours wandering around town, getting to know the townspeople, going on like kind of date, staring up at the stars.
What's going on in the NFL? Domestic violence, bones crunching, concussions, disabilities, heck, back in the day, there were just straight deaths.

Hah reminds me of a comment I made earlier today, compare how many gamers go on riots because of a videogame compared to how many sports fans do when their team loses (or sometimes wins... lol) XD

That's the reason why I love DA2 and are we sure that this man isn't Jack Thompson?

Lol, yet it's one of the reasons I hate DA 2.
McIntosh goes far beyond Thompson to be honest.

Uh oh control is being used in a less than savory way, better ban control!
Especially when people are driving!
Cause you know, it's also not coincidental that control is central to driving.
/logic
I don't pay these things any heed at all anymore. Play Star Ocean 2, the first 2 hours are you wandering around town, getting to know this girl, looking up the stars, it's about as peaceful as it gets.
But oh yeah lets go to Nascar and watch a guy literally drive over someone and kill them, set a good example and all that.
Lol, yet it's one of the reasons I hate DA 2.

Oh God(oka) this guy is just too freaking hilarious. His conversations with Anita must be pure gold.
I know control is pretty important to me in videogames, which is why I tend to invest money in things like a controller when I get a new console. Power to the patriarchy!
Lol, yet it's one of the reasons I hate DA 2.

This person is hilarious! And at the same time insane!
So, if I'm not angry all the time, am I to be considered an anti-gamer?
I'm just angry because Dragon Age: Inquisition won't stop crashing.

Have you tried being more angry?
I hear it's very masculine to get up and roar at your system how pathetic it is to not be able to run a simple game.
One, some or all these reasons:
- They've had enough of DRM, Day one DLCs, Buggy-Glitchy-Crashy-Laggy games.
- They're sick and tired of immaturity in Multiplayer games.
- They're demanding people who want perfect stuff, more and more.
- They screwed up their life, so they want stuff in video games that compensate for that. If not done, They're angry.
- They're disappointed in society, goverments and/or software corporations, so they like to whine on the Internet, any kind of forums.
- They're betrayed by Kickstarter projects. True Story.
- They're anarchists and want to make everyone on the internet discontent.
- They're trolls and want to create melodrama, and thus lol at misery of others.

Actually, this was the picture I grabbed the tweet from:
See? I'd said Gamespot is your friend.

I tried, it just made me feel more emptier.

Well you know sometimes it's just things like
- Accidentally burnt toast in toaster and are now a bit hungry for longer while waiting for new toast.
- Spilled milk on keyboard. ![]()
