Black and White

I've never understood gamers' fascination with everything being good or bad, black or white, this or that, Sony or Xbox, Halo or Call of Duty, or so on. What is it about gamers that makes everything either fantastic or garbage? Is everything binary? Where is the scale, the shades gray? Isn't there room for multiple good games or systems? Isn't lots of choice a good thing?

  • For the most part I see games and consoles as either black or white until I play them and then make my opinion from there. The main exception is with the xbox one and the ps4 I don't see either one as black or white, good or evil I see them both as similar consoles which are both somewhat impressive in their own way but with exclusives on each one that could sway me either way. But I have to admit its the one thing I really hate about the gaming community is that it can be hyper critical, I've seen a video review of the game (I think it was) Scourge Outbreak or something to that effect and it was by gamespot but instead of saying what was bad with the game and what was good the reviewer just ripped it to shreds essentially saying "why buy this game because its the worst thing ever made and the people who made this game shouldn't even be in the industry because i mean just look at this pile of crap its so bad and i hate it." You know a community is bad when even the reviewers cant hold back on what is essentially their opinion rather than straight up saying why a game is good and bad and then giving their opinion so other people can judge for themselves whether or not to try it.
