There's already too much gaming forums all over the internet. I play games too but I wasn't able to last on a gaming forum. There are too much trolls there and gaming forums are for hardcore gamers, which I am not. Adding another gaming forum won't do good to the internet world and to myLot itself. I don't want this site to be swarmed of trolls and noobs that ask this and that without searching throughout the discussions. I am sorry for being harsh towards fellow gamers, but think about other people who wants some place over the internet where they feel secure and comfortable (Facebook was never one). Gamers swarming over here would make them uncomfortable. You can still discuss games here...but please do not turn this into a gaming forum.

Ah..I should have said that I consider it on a tolerable level. XD Maybe I was too harsh. I got a bit of trauma from some trolls in two gaming forums..

lol no problem mate. Trolls no longer bother me when it comes to gaming. Seems to come with the territory. Gaming these days though isn't what it used to be. Used to be all about fun and people getting together online for that, now its all about trickshots, who can do this who can do that, who the best commentator on youtube is bla bla bla ... to me all commentators on youtube suck. They bore me generally. And watching trickshots that probably took them dozens if not more attempts to get right? Rather watch a guy riot shield a cheater lol I noticed though online gaming is being taken over by 13 yr olds that think 'l33t sp34k' is a new thing. Then of course you have the constant my bf3 game is better than your mw3 game arguments. You can't compare both games in my opinion, they both hold their own in their own way.

I don't think he meant turn it into a gaming forum as such. I think it was more a 'lets get all the gamers talking in this discussion see if we play the same games, platforms, add each other if we do' scenario. Besides would be hard to turn mylot into a gaming forum only lol

Hiding.... I fell out of love with MoH after the 2nd one I believe it was. Was never a fan of the BF games (they just feel very sluggish to me and the round times are way too long for me). I prefer the quicker paced rounds, like CoD for example. I actually enjoy MW3 for its faster pace where as alot seem to hate it because of that. Sure it has its bugs but no game is perfect. I used to play L4D alot but got bored of it. I play a few others but possibly some of my faves would be the CoD franchise along with the CnC franchise minus the last 1/2. They tried to go too futuristic in them I think instead of keeping them the way they were. And now they're doing a CnC generals 2 using the same game engine that BF3 uses. Way to ruin a really good franchise if you ask me. A real gamer doesn't care about graphics, they care about game play.

Oh yeah and Assassins Creed. But I think I enjoy it more for its beautiful art work (there I go contradicting my last statement about graphics). There was a game a few years back now I believe it was called Damnation (I think) it was awesome if you ask me.

A real gamer doesn't care about graphics, they care about game play. My brother is in the midway...he's in gbatemp if you want to meet him. (He will never come to myLot )

Nice.. but what's MoH?? Assasin's creed's story line is quite captivating in my opinion. i like it. the whole religious conspiracy thing going on is pretty nice. :) CnC franchise on the other hand in my opinion got ruined when EA took over westwood... theuir games got crappy.. the gameplay changed a bit and the graphics are kinda off for me... yeah they made RA3 3d... but it's not how i hoped for it to look like...

oh really? nice! I'm not really fond of first person shooters when it comes to the consoles since my roots came from counter strike.. i've lost the feel of the console controllers when I am playing :\.. i find it harder to aim , shoot, crouch or even do those elite moves :))

I'm not into any of those three games but I am a gamer. I'm more into horror games (when I am playing alone) and sports or platform games when I'm playing with friends. I have to say that it is quite weird here that there are not many posts about gaming lately even though there is a whole section for it. I have started a couple of posts too about some games that I like in the last days so lets hope that we can kick the gaming section back to life ;)

Yeah man totally.well hmm so you're a sports video gameplayer eh.. let me guess... FIFA?!?!?!?!?!?!? =) man me and my friends are so addicted to that game. we usually put the commentator on spanish mode though I'm not spanish...because they are so exagerrated when someone goals. the commentator goes wild and say GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL gol gol gol gol gol! ecstatic feeling when you goal. :)) especially if it's on the 90th minute and you are both tied!

I was more a PES fan till last year but this year's FIFA is a lot better than PES. At least the goalie isn't drunk in this game :P haha We usually play FIFA12 now or NBA2k12. Both are nice sports games and excellent for a good friends "fight"

jamborieman -- you are from Phil. I think you are mentioning about video games or computer games. You seem to be very much fascinated by these games. good. Of the games mentioned which game you like very much? What CoD game? thanks

Yeah I'm from the Phil! started gaming since i was in gradeschool - (I bet all of us did right? haha) I'm really a loyal guy to CS - Counterstrike.. I just didn't mention it because i think it's too old schoolfor the people out there. Theyre all CoD this and BF this and that. hmmm what CoD game?... i gotta say.. call of duty - the first one. nothing beats the classic. That's the first of the franchise and it kicked medal of honor's gluteus max DOWN!

Oh yeah. i did that too bro! the hulog piso games that consist of the airplane thing and you gotta avoid the bullets and also the traditional... METAL SLUG HAHAHA! yeah I played RO too... dude if you see the amount of cards i purchased because of that game... makes me want to sigh.. i wish i didn't spend that much... i should have a lot already by now if i didn't.. And MU i played the private server ones... it's too hard for me to keep up with the one hosted by mobius... but the features of that game are cool. My personal favorite... is BLADEKNIGHT. :) (correct me if i'm wrong , it's kind of vague already - and i + my equips so that they'll shine brighter and brighter!)

started gaming since i was in gradeschool - (I bet all of us did right? haha) I didn't. I played CounterStrike before high school...but that was just to satisfy my cousins who are die-hard gamers. The first thing I really played as a gamer was MU, RYL (Risk Your Life), and Philippine RO. I spent my grade school days playing SNES Arcade a.k.a. "hulog piso".

Well... they're playing their games. :| I prefer RTS games over any other genres, games such as Rome Total War or Hearts of Iron II, or a common one known as Age of Empires II are RTS.

@sparky3dfan AGE OF EMPIRES 3 RUINED everything man. hate how it went down..just so sad... @Runite NICE!!!!! i'm into that too! infact I'm going to upgrade my pc in order to run Shogun 2 on max graphics.. oh my.. what an epic tale and battle that will be!!! glorious!!!! You should try Men of war dude! It's really really nice. Hardcore RTS if you ask me.

Awe age of empires... now im tempted to go find my disc for it if I still have it...

I tried to play Men of war but it just didn't work, for Shogun 2, I'm trying to get a better PC to try to get it to run (better if I can go max), you should probably try out Victoria 2 a grand RTS game. And yeah, AOE 3 ruined everything, I doubt there'll be a AOE 4 anytime.

I love to play games on the computer, but my preference is the short skill games for money as are played on sites such as WorldWinner, King, and GSN. I like the 1-minute "dash" games. The fees are a little high, and we have to win consistently even to break even, but I like competing with players from all over the world.
