I need a little insight and some opinions. I trust you guys enough to answer this question for me so I'm gonna lay it on you...

I'm becoming more and more of a harsh critic as time passes. I pick out every flaw in everything and weight it's good qualities with those said flaws. Why?

Do you any of you guys do that? Because I have been doing it more and more lately and I think it's making me look kinda like a huge dick. Any opinions?

Seriously...

I think I'm turning into Simon Cowell.
 
i do this alot to. like when i play a game everyone else will be like "the graphics are good" and ill have an eye for the bad or negative side and ill be like "nah it doesnt look actually real" or "it looks animated or drawn". i do this even for games i really like. mk, batman, dead space and so on. just lettin you know youre not the only one in this boat.

Ah. Thanks. I figured as much.

Hey, I realized that this frame of thinking is the best way to avoid disappointment. Right?
 
I have a problem over analysing things. Sometimes it can be a good thing but, as far as games go I try not to be too judgemental. I feel that it takes away from an enjoyable experience when you are overly critical. But that's not to say I don't pick out flaws in games, movies, music and even people. I think it's human nature. But it does have a negative side just try not to be too pessimistic. That's the only advice I have. If you are high lighting the bad in things take as much time and effort to realize the positives as well.
 
oh well, someones got to be the one to criticize. We cant just all go on with life pretending everythings good. Keep it up I say
 
Well, granted...

I see games like Call of Duty or Halo and I can pick out plot hole after plot hole after plot hole. Inconsistencies like white on rice, yo. I did the same with Oblivion. I did the same with Fallout 3. And many others. But if I see a good game, I hold it high.

I am with you, I consistently feel like I am smarter than every one else. Like I can see the future, because I have, and you and I are in it.


If things are getting predictable... why don't you go and make your own? Or do something better? Why don't you write a story that hasn't been rehashed?

Have you ever thought about writing the greatest story that has never been written besides just nitpicking the faults of others? Just saying bro, cool story.
 
I'm overly analyzing things when it comes to selfishness/greed.

I've been robbed before.
I've been death threatened for my money before,
I've been threatened to get called in if I don't give a free soda before.
I've been used for personal gain on thousands of occasions.
I've seen people do things for their self benefit but it hurts multiple others
I've worked with people who don't pull their own weight(No where near)

I've been backstabbed by friends,
I've been dropped by people who I "thought" were friends but I guess my usefulness wore off.


^^^^^
This stuff is what makes me overanalyzing of people's selfish/greedy natures.

I blow up stupid stuff like seeing someone not holding open the door for another human being sometimes. (To myself)

Perhaps the reason you overanalyze and critisize games was triggered by some kind of conditioning..

sometimes just being around ignorant people 24/7 will make you feel like a higher person. Thus you have to critisize idiots all the time. So it carries over to even the tiny baby things of people who are pretty average.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. The people in my community are ignorant oafs who's only joy is drugs and partying. I'm ready to kill, man!(Not really, but you get the picture.)

lol

Actually, I have been working on an epic story of my own since I was fourteen. It goes through constant revisions. This is actually what I plan on doing with my life. Being an author and a game developer and hopefully writing storied for games as I mature in both fields.

holy shit dude, both things you just said perfectly reflect my life as well

I was always having fun with friends, partying and easing my mind. But one day I guess I just sorta matured and wanted to still continue having fun, but actually be a real person and live life. My so called friends are braindead ****ing morons and will never get anywhere in life. It's the sad truth and I want to feel sorry for them, but at the same time, I know they never wanted any help from me, and they were always trying too hard to act mature even back when we were really young, and still do it now. As if they are trying to prove something that no one even cares about. Oh well.





And I too have had something huge in store in my mind. Something that I developed in during my times of being alone. Dont know if I will ever be able to epress this idea into a form of media, but it's a dream that may see the light of day, who knows

If feel as if you have something great in your mind and you truly love it and feel confident about it, pursue it. Because if you don't, you will grow old and regret it for the rest of your life if you don't.

I live by that statement.

Ambition is lifeblood. Without it, there is no reason to live. You have a passion, follow it. Waste no time because life is short.
