I was hoping you'd say that. Perception starts with yourself. Go get Witcher 2 and jam it!
Does anyone remember that gaming = fun?

Waiting for Witcher to come to PS3... In the meantime, Im playing L.A. Noire
I think I reached some clarity after going to the club last night and having a jol, dancing, drinking some klippies & cola and a couple or more shots. Exams had me all frustrated and stressed. I need some fun now thanks

I totally agree with the OP, for this reason:
And no, you didn't do anything wrong, to0ken.
WItcher 2 is clearly a contender for game of the year, but I left RPGcodex in disgust last week, when I had to hear I'm a 'consoletard untermenschen', because I like The Witcher 2. I mean, WTF? They went and actively looked for 'reasons' to prove The Witcher 2 was 'consolized'. One of the best PC games in a long time, and still people are not satisfied? I can understand tastes differ, but this wasn't because those assholes' tastes didn't include this game, this was because they believed anything that isn't Baldur's Gate 2 sucks. :/
THere's this entire elitist fad going around on gaming forums, and it's making me sick. It seems a game has to give you 10 spreadsheets to just change your weapon before these guys will be satisfied. And even then, they'll just find the next thing to get angry about. I actually made a tweet on the issue a few minutes ago.
I just don't get it. Really, when did games have to become excercises in Einstein-like cognitive ability to be fun?

Back in the 90's when gaming really took off for the 32 bit consoles a lot of small developers sprang up and came up with a crapload of very original games. I'm not going to pretend to know all of them but Psygnosis comes to mind.
Anyhow, later on when all of these guys got bought out and eaten up by the big fishes, I believe is when everything started to change. I think there is just too many people they're trying to please to sell big these days and they just end up pissing off just as many other guys.
I think there's plenty fun stuff out there but as many of you guys rightly pointed out so far there will always be some elitest asshole saying how its not good enough and shit cause its not this or that.
