It seems like common sense, but a lot of people are unaware how close-minded they actually are. It really pisses me off too. Anything that I talk shit about or bash something, I at least gave a honest effort to try out whatever that something is. I try my best not to be ignorant and have an open mind towards everything.
Plenty of you know what I'm talking about. I catch a lot of crap for playing Animal Crossing, a game where you live in a village of animals and fill your virtual house with furniture and clothes. Just about everyone I talk to ask me, "Why do you play that game? It's so stupid." As you might guess, they haven't played a second of it. Even if they have, it was five minutes when they were already looking for everything bad in the game because of preconceived notions. How do I know they're a bunch of ignorant assholes? The Sims. This game is the best selling PC game in history, and one can make plenty of comparisons from the The Sims and Animal Crossing.
Show me a gamer or any person that has played The Sims and enjoyed it, and won't at least give Animal Crossing a fair shot. Unfortunately, this is the case most of the time! Another point is the game, Guitar Hero. A lot of people, especially in America didn't give rhythm games one look until this game came out. While Guitar Hero has seemingly made the genre mainstream, most of these wannabe gamers won't buy another rhythm game.
I hate these people, you're probably one of them, but they say "ignorance is bliss," don't they?
