3. Realising That People Who Skip Cutscenes Are A Thing Makes You Physically Ill
Somewhat akin to someone talking in the cinema at the most dialogue-heavy segment only to later remark that they "missed that scene" or otherwise "didn't get" what was going on. Many want to jump straight to the gameplay when diving into our beloved medium, even to the expense of skipping something as integral as the likes of Metal Gear Solid's many hours of cinema-rivalling narrative prowess. "Why is that man talking to his hand?" they say, "Because Metal Gear, that's why."
2. You Are Totally Cool With The Idea That You Have To Sink Five Hours Into Something Before It Gets Going
Like those people who 'couldn't get away with' Lost (the poster-boy for journey's being better than their destinations), many of the greatest video games have steep and involving learning curves. Whilst the likes of Dark Souls' is more likely to sear you in half, there are many others that require you to become immersed in the mechanics of the game before you actually start to see any real reward. It's this ebb and flow that makes certain games so indescribably enjoyable in the first place.
1. You Hate The Digital Distribution Future, Because You Can't Look At Your Collection 'Properly'
Not specific to games this one, but the full digital-embrace is definitely going to happen to our medium first before film, due to companies like Microsoft pushing the idea so hard. "Hey guys, forget marvelling at a physical collection neatly alphabetised on a series on shelves, look at these tiles I've collected to represent each on-screen. Now I'm making a pinching motion with my hand and...guys??" Any other ones you think we've missed off? Please throw them down in the comments below!
