I used to have this prejudice against shooters. I used to say œnah, i don't like shooters but I forgot why I didn't even like them in the first place. Then I remembered, it was because i used to suck at them. It took a while but I've managed to let go of that hate. Then i started to question why i play games i consider good in the first place, Because I don't njoy them as such. The game play in J-RPG's at first I thought was boring, the whole turn based combat. That's boring isn't it? Though as I became more attached to the characters, I realized I began to want to play the game to know what happens to the characters. The battles annoy me, and still do to this day - Especially if one of those characters should die during battle which would seem to remind me of the feelings for those characters. That feeling of annoyance to me is part of the over all experience and immersion. I am sure that my character didn't want to battle either.
Do you even know why you do the things you do, have you alluded yourself into thinking you 'enjoy' those things? Perhaps you don't enjoy the things you do, but do you need to enjoy them to do them? What does the word enjoy even mean to you?
If like can be defined as simply an extension to the stuff you happened to have been exposed at first by chance in the past, then the next time you think you dislike a certain genre of gaming or even music or anything. Ask yourself why you dislike it, what don't you 'like' about it - do you know the entire genre? Why the unjustified hate for a genre? Have you even classified the genre correctly? Why does it need a classification at all? Why can't you like both genres? What if classifications didn't exist?
Or maybe I am just crazy.. And I've just wasted 5 minutes of your life which you can't have back. Whether I am crazy or not, would you still read my articles? You read this one didn't you? Perhaps you read it for that very reason
