How can you tell me or anyone else what their priorities are? If you hate the "new" attitude of gamers that's good for you, you're free to feel however you want. If you think image is nothing, and aren't conscerned about anything except gaming then go ahead and feel that way, but don't tell others that their way of looking at video games is wrong, or that yours is completely superior.

Why do you speak as if you're the messiah spreading the gospel of truth. Everyone likes different aspects of video games. Some like the graphics, some are focused on the gameplay, others on the storyline, and a few like replay value. There are people that like certain parts better than others, but you can't just tell people that your way of thinking is right, and others are mislead or wrong.

There's is no reference at all to it's gameplay(nor can there be), so the basic point of this thread really has NOTHING to do with Zelda at all, but it's more about a pathetic CRAVE/LUST for a "mature image"(whatever that is). Still, somehow, I bet you wouldn't except that, so I'll have to go on a little further.

It's not like I am kiddygamephobic or anything. I've played many kiddy games in my day, and I plan to pick up many more. If Kirby turned into another conker who drank, cussed, and used an assault rifle I would also be dissapointed. Why? Not because I hate mature games, but because I've grown up with the character, and don't want to see him drastically change.

When gaming has seen it's best days(not speaking profit wise), when SNES and Genesis were around, that's where tons of awesome games were out there, and we enjoyed every last one of them. That was also when we didn't concern ourselves with this kiddy-mature crap. If this worsens, someday gaming will be crippled, waiting for another Nintendo to save it like 20 yrs ago. Only this time, it will wait in vain.
(Think I'm taking this to serious? Maybe I am.. or maybe one day we'll regret we all didn't)

You do know you're talking to someone that owns a Genesis and SNES, and spends more time on them then his latest systems. Maybe the reason why you weren't concerned about the whole "kiddy-mature crap" was because you were a kid back then. This kiddy-mature crap isn't exclusive to video games, it's in everything. Like teddy bears for example. Yes some people still keep their teddy bears, but others feel that they have outgrown them. Does that mean that the people who have outgrown them are stupid, ignorant, or lost the meaning of truely having fun? No. Is the teddy bear industry also going to face this doomsday that you have created in your head when talking about the video game industry?
