Why is it people have this adversion to children games?

[Don]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I was having an argument with my friend over Kingdom Hearts earlier. He basically scoffed off the game because it's a Disney RPG. Never mind that Square allocated a lot of their staff for this game, and Disney has a pretty good staff too. And this is coming from a guy who went out and bought the Bouncer even though he doesn't play fighting games!

I see people do this to stuff like Yugioh, Pokemon, and of course Disney games. I mean, it's true that something that sells well to children doesn't mean it appeals to older gamers, but you've to remember that it's not like the only thing in the children market are Yugioh, Pokemon, and Disney. For those to be successful there they have to have some degree of quality to them. I watched Pokemon a couple times and I think it's certainly better than your Joe Smoe Anime.

Then again, maybe that guy is just a jerk. He broke my PSX while modding it and blame me for having a faulty mod chip because there's no way his mad expertise of 2 successful PSX mods could've screwed up... and he's still bitter about this even though I was the one who lost a PSX.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt Draconwick; text-align: left; '>People don't like Pokemon Puzzle League because it's Pokemon. I have seen reveiws of it, though, and it's supposed to be a very well put together puzzle game.

Although there is a reason to this aversion. Say FF7 was made with disney characters would it have been as good? This is just an example, but you have to look at both sides of the spectrum.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't really care much about what some Computer geek thinks on games, I play what I like. Of course I'm not going to play a game about bunnies and kitties, or Sesame street characters, but, if it's a good game, I'll play it.</div>

[Torgo]

<div style='font: 9pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I won't make any finl judgements until the game is released. It has a great team working on it, but you have to admit it's gonna be pretty weird with Jafar and Captain Hook as villains. Not to mention Donald Duck is a black mage...</div>

[Slappy White]

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>Banjo-Kazooie could be considered a childs game as couls Mario 64 for the N64. Right? And I loved those games. Pokemon Snap was super fun (albiet was quite short).</div>

[Crono]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I've got nothing against Disney, so long as the product is good (which theirs often are). Most of the folks who shun games that they call "childish" are just boosting their ego or compensating for some crap.</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>And you quit Japanese? I figured the language would be a LOT easier if you already knew a pictographical language of your own.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "arial narrow"; text-align: left; padding: 0% 5% 0% 5%; '>Has it occured to you that some of us (myself for example) just don't like children's games? Why the fuck do we need to be "boosting our egos" in not liking stuff like Pokemon?</div>

[SineSwiper]

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Actually, you could probably classified most children's games as women's games because they'll go "Oh, look...how cute!" Sorta like how more women choose Sailor Moon over DBZ.</div>

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm hoping that Sine will eventually reveal to us that he's a sociologist, and the real purpose of the Shrine was to observe how people reacted when presented with statements like this.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Lol! Wouldn't that be a twist? :)</div>
