10 Reasons It Totally Sucked To Be A Gamer In 2012

3. 3D Gaming

Oh bugger off 3D Gaming. Like the damn film industry the technology is far too young to actually work and only serves as a quick buck to make from stupid people. Before I go any farther I€™d like to say that 3D Gaming is not (repeat) is not virtual reality, nor is it a hologram and defiantly not augmented reality. So don€™t get upset if you brought MLB 12: The Show and realised that the 3D is awful because you expected to see one of your favourite baseball stars crash the ball into your face. Also, remember if you didn't fork out the money for the glasses and a 3D ready TV, you€™re stuck in 2D world daddyo. And, when a Third Person shooter gets involved in 3D is like being teamed up with a fat man for a 200m Relay. Ghost Recon: Future Soldier bar embodying everything shooters do now-a-days that being, taking place slightly in the future so you can use forthcoming gadgets like Iron Man, had by far the worse 3D I€™ve seen this year. Honestly, my bloody eyes hurt. How can I lead a group of soliders though a battle when I haven€™t got a damn clue what€™s transpiring around me? Then again, I'm playing as an American who's no stranger to friendly fire. There are a lot of issues with 3D Gaming like the picture losing sharpness like I€™m playing on a bloody DreamCast. The foreground and background become mixed up creating some truly sickening visuals and some objects that aren€™t rendered in 3D so this only adds to my already overflowing sick bag. As far as I can see there is zero advantage having 3D Gaming as it (ironically) adds no depth to the gaming experience.
