I see too many people these days who absolutely hate or seem to hate the games they play. Yet they play them 24/7. They seem to be obsessed with being the BEST. Not that theres anything wrong with wanting to perform at your best level, but when they whine and gripe about it day in and day out, it makes me wonder why they just dont go do something they ACTUALLY like to do. :facepalm: Why force oneself to spend hours on end playing a game you dont even enjoy, or enjoy very very little of. People complaining about this or that and the other. Why not just be happy with the game your playing instead of nitpicking every little obscure feature that doesn't suit your tastes?

Anyway, thats what I've been pondering for a little bit.

People say things they don't mean when they're angry.

Yeah, and as for some games, people begin to dislike the game after they strive for 100% completion, and come close, but never get it.

I can understand that.
However I'm talking about online games that are brand new and people start to complain almost the first week its out. Its almost like they spend huge amounts of their time and energy getting to the highest level/skill as quickly as possible, then immediately turn around saying that it was the worst experience ever. I mean, how can you do that? Play all the way through a game, 100%-ing it, getting everything completely maxed out all while despising it so much as to rant about it in every single forum, site, video, and social network you can. I just dont get it. I do get that people get angry, but that anger, to my understanding comes from dissapointment. Wouldnt they have been undewhelmed long before they could even come close to doing all that? If so, why continue if they hated it so much? Why not get a refund and go back to playing their own 'favorite game of all time' if everything else is garbage to them?

Maybe they wanted to see if it would get better. It didn't.

Because, really, you can't be like. "OMG THIS MOVIE SUCKS!!!" THen someone would be like, "Well, the ending made it awesome, wrapping up every loose end and all that." Then the other guy would feel retarded, correct?

I feel that both of these are equally true for different reasons. The one reason I was targeting would be IronClad's.
