It was an example.  Jesus you're boring.
I'm boring, because I don't enjoy playing boring games. Gotcha.

When you do your usual pissing and moaning about RTS games (they require thought to play, I know, that's a challenge for some people) and then say that someone should pay out another $60 for a new game when they can just spice up game play for something they already own for free?

Yeah, you're pretty boring.  I'd go further, but I don't feel like having Mr p come down hard on me.

I like the original game
Obviously you don't.

If you want to see it improved, why not just wait for the sequel?

You can like something and still recognize that it has faults and problems that can either be fixed or improved. Then you have games like Skyrim that provide a good foundation to be built upon (hence Bethesda easy to use modding tools and giving support for them), and had to be watered down due to under powered consoles. And no that's not PC elitism, that's a fact. There were a lot of things Bethesda wanted to do with Skyrim (namely the civil war) that they couldn't do because they had to have content parity with the 360 and PS3 for their vanilla version.

In Skyrim's case, after about 100 installed mods I've got it to the point where I've happily spent over 300 hours on the same game. I would not be able to get this same mileage out of vanilla Skyrim.

Seeing as how the average AAA game has about 10 hours of content in it I would have had to spend over $1800 to get the same amount of time out of them that I did Skyrim.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
I want to state that I don't put condiments on my burger as I want to respect the work of the people at the grill that made it for me. Salt and pepper shakers are likewise, sin.

Except I love games that require thought?

No, RTS games require patience. And nothing else.
Maybe I like playing games that don't last a fucking year, and aren't boring as all fuck to play.

Nobody is telling you to pay $60 for a game. I haven't paid $60 for a game since 2006.

And it should be the developers' job to fix them. Not ours.

You probably shouldn't.

300 hours of one game? I'm not saying I haven't done that before, but that's still excessive.

Sorry, but when you get a job that requires you to get off your lunch break at a specific time, you'll understand my pain.

Games, especially AAA games like the Elder Scrolls I mentioned, usually cost $60.  Again, it's an example but I guess you can't really catch on.

Not really. It only seems like it because I don't like having gigantic walls of text pointlessly repeated all over the page, so I trim it down to size to make things cleaner/less cluttered. If I don't respond to a specific section of a post, it means I just didn't care to respond to it, for a variety of reasons depending on the post.

Games, especially AAA games like the Elder Scrolls I mentioned, usually cost $60.  Again, it's an example but I guess you can't really catch on.
I don't see how that changes anything I've said.

Don't. Spend. $60. On. Video games.

That's just a little bit silly.
Are you too good for used copies?

There are games that are worth the $60 I pay up front so I can enjoy it rather than sitting and waiting while my other friends are having fun.

And just for your information, I have several used copies of games.  But please, continue on with your superiority complex you appear to be showing.

Then you really do not pay attention, or your taste in games is very, very pitifully small.

That is a proper answer. I don't know what the fuck else you're asking. You're asking what video games I play--I play "retro" games, usually. Did you mean to ask which games I play? I don't really care to list a whole ton of them out to you if I don't have a good reason.

So you dont like new games, and not to mention the games you like are unmoddable.

Why is it your life mission to say otherwise? Like I know you can say 'opinion' but the general consensus is that people know how to adapt and modify their gaming experiences. If you sir, like the ways of old and wish to stay that way, then that's fine. But the crusade you're on doesn't really seem worth it.

I really don't give a fuck if you mod games, at the end of the day. I'm still going to call it stupid, because I think it's stupid. I don't think that's really inhibiting your gaming experience any.
