First of all I am not talking about xbox live... I don't even own and xbox and I am not some stupid xbox fanboy... I used to be a die hard Nintendo fanboy like u guys so I know what u guys r talking about but just to make some points...
"How dare they focus on quality single player gaming."
I have nothing against quality single player games....nothing. However a great single player game's experience can be multiplied when u have online gaming to play after u have beaten the single player game. Lets face it maybe u won't get bored of it when u beat it the first time... but by the second or third time it starts to get boring and eventually after a month it just sits on your shelf and collects dust unless u trade it in and get a fraction of your money back. When you have a game thats online you can play it for months on end and not get bored of it...its so fun trust me you have to try it. An example of a game like this I am talking about is Call of Duty. This fps blew me away... I couldn't tell you how great the single player campaign was you would have to try it for yourself. But after the single player was done I had multiplayer to play with and I play this game all the time it is still so much fun even though I have been playing it for like 5 months straight.
"Nobody really gives a crap that you're angry you can't play Tetris Worlds online with GameCube"
Ok you knew when you typed this that that was really stupid... of course noone wants to play Tetris Worlds online. But every "fanboy" here can agree they would have absoultely loved to see Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, mario tennis, mario golf, f-zero, and many other games online. Of course you would have. Who wouldn't want to go on to their gamecube and play f-zero with 29 other nintendo fanboys. But once again Nintendo let us down... oh well maybe next generation. -_-
"If I pay $50 for a game, I don't think I should also pay a subscription charge to be able to play it. That's the main factor Nintendo avoids online gaming, they don't feel it's right to charge people to play a game"
I don't know of any console games that you have to pay subscripion fees for and the ones you do have to pay subscriptions for on the pc are MMORPG. I think what you might be talking about is the xbox live yearly subscription fee. Well of course $50 sounds like alot out of the gate but its really less than $5 a month... of course you could spare less than $5 a month. And with ps2 all you have to do is by the online adapter for $40 and your set.
"God, it pisses me off when you get into one of those "clan" games and they dont' want anyone on their team so they just kill you. It takes away the whole experience. Now with LAN, you know what's going on, you ACTUALLY know the people and you can talk to them and talk about strategies, unlike the headset where it's just people playing music. So yeah, there's my stance on the whole "Online Revolution" and personally it can go to hell where it came from."
I agree most console gamers who play online are annoying like that... you should try pc gaming most of the people are not like that at all... they just want to play... strategize...its really fun. They say their is a big difference between console online gamers and pc online gamers.
"When your older and all your firneds have jobs no1 has time to call over the buddies to play. If there ever is time they want to go out and not play video games. Thus online gaming is the solution for multplayer anytime. "
Very true as you get older you and ur friends get jobs and it is very hard to get a bunch of friends together, say even four, to play.
