so f-ckin cool!!..

I need to take a pilgrimage to Japan to see that gundam. As for Yoshiyuki Tomino's comments, you have to remember, he's really old.

Unless that life sized Gundam in Japan comes to life and goes on a rampage i really don't think video games will kill our planet.. but secretly i'd actually like to see that happen.

By his statements he should consider all forms of entertainment evil and a waste of time, including watching fictional robots fight each other.

"How do you make them feel like it is not just a waste of time?"





How are they a waste of time?

maybe people should be wasting their life doing something they dont enjoy for paper instead?



Truth is, hes lucky enough to be doing something he enjoys and gets payed for it.. so it easy for him to say rubbish like that



but the environment? ***** off!

the only reason so many care is because the influential people are making money off of it and its in their interest to tell us its our fault!

You can bet your arm they wouldn't give a toss if there was no money in it and it wouldn't so widely accepted that its us causing it.

"

[Gaming] is not a type of activity that provides any support to our daily lives, and all these consoles are just consuming electricity! Let's say we have about three billion people on this planet wasting their time, bringing no productivity at all. Add 10 billion more people, and what would happen to our planet? Video games are assisting the death of our planet.



"



I know I will be flamed, and I know I will be told I am stupid, but here I go.



I understand this comment. In fact, I AGREE with it. Maybe not the beginning,



but rather, the whole rest of it.



"all these consoles are just consuming electricity!"



Definitely agree with that. I mean, in a PHYSICAL FACTOR, that is ALL games do. Just eat electricity. I don't care what you say, or how they are entertainment, that DOESN'T MATTER, In a PHYSICAL FORM: It only eats electricity. That's all it does, in a physical form of course.



But in a mental form, as stated here:

"



You have to find the median -- that games are not evil, perhaps not necessarily good either, but something that can be considered a pastime. What would make people enjoy a game? How do you make them feel like it is not just a waste of time?



"



Mentally, a game that can overall, make what the world thinks about games, change.



A game, that isn't amazing by ANY form of the word. It doesn't have a storyline, nor any main characters.

The online multiplayer isn't in depth. All it does, is connect you to another player, to take the single player, and turn it into a two on two game.



In fact, the above statement COMPLETELY opens up what he is talking about.



The fact is, in his standpoint, games are consuming electricity. That's It. And while it is fun, it is not doing ***** for our environment.



So, he says, why don't we make a game that EVERYONE loves. Something that EVERYONE can play.



Not like a casual game, nor a hardcore game. Something more along the lines of a sport. Something that EVERYONE will be able to understand.



Perhaps, a very new conceptual game,



Or maybe, a game that has been used in the past.



Think, MMO, - RPG, -weapons, -Rules.



You can fly, dance, every building is enterable.



THAT. Is a super game. Something that isn't Amazing by ANY sense of the word, but can get people to do ONE THING.



And this, is the MAJOR point he is trying to make. I mean MAJOR.



The one thing, he wants people to do, is:



COMMUNICATE



Communication is the SOUL of humanity. Think about it, without communication, we wouldn't be anywhere right now.



From the beginning of time, humanity has spoken to each other.



Either from voice, to phone, to TV, to internet. It is our main instinct. Humanity knows that we need it. People all ways love communication. It gives them knowledge, and understanding.



And, don't start crying, saying "Hey, How about online gaming, like Live, and Playstation Network?". Because those aren't the same. Sure, you are talking. But half the time, its things that are not about the world around you. The REAL world.



He wants a game, that reminds us of OUR world. A game, that would help US communicate. Communicate about EVERYTHING.



A game, that brings up values, daily life, and communication all together.



And he is correct.



while you may HATE the idea of it,



It definitely an idea that should be the basis of making a game.



But hey, what do I know? I am just the 5,000 pound whale-shark on the floor.

Oh come on... Bioshock tests your values... do you want to kill that little girl or let her live?

Master Chef,



Seems your mouth drops farther than your balls.



If you thought it wrong, then tell me why.



Other than being a giant jack ass, and an obvious troll, you are simply being a smothering dumb ass.



And popmchnex, I agree. I killed so many little girls while playing that game, I felt *****ing insane.



But then I just lit some dude on fire and decided it was ok.

But he's gonna allow dozens of Gundam games to be created. And he's gonna pretend anime/manga is any better than playing video games.





Going by his logic, anything that makes you happy is killing our planet. He also seems to have a dream where humanity continuing to exist is a good thing, or acting like the Earth will end while all of us are still on it.







He's just a deluded commoner, pay him no mind.

that's funny coming from someone who's had quite a few games on the market. I'd probably respect his opinion, were it not for the fact that he's being a hypocrite.

so if i understood correctly :



if you hear it from someone involved with game production - you call him a hypocrite.



but if you hear it from someone with no game experience at all (not even a gamer) - you say he does not know what is he talking about? where is that golden place of credibility?



by saying games do not provide support to your daily life means that playing games will not give you a better job. there is little benefit from games. it does not help you with your life.



you waste a lot of money, you waste a lot of time (well, that depends on a person). do you somehow get your money's worth back?



and logical/educational games are only a tool to HELP with education, not replace it. besides you do not learn that quickly from them, anyway.

its head rotating doesn't really count as 'moving' in my book
