Perhaps I should actually respond to the main topic. XD
When I get a new game, I usually get this tingling sensation in my stomach. Excitement and impatience, wanting to play it right away. So I walk home in a fast pace, as I usually buy the game at a store (not much for pre-ordering), I put it in and I feel a sort of relaxation in my body. I can finally play the game I have been waiting for. And then I play it, enjoying every moment of it.
Should the game end up disappointing me, I never dwell on it, because I can now make a truthful opinion about the game, because I have had it in my hands and played it through. It means I have something that those who refuse to play it hasn't - experience. I know how the game is where those who refuse to play it don't. So when they talk sh*t about it, I just give them the finger, because they don't know sh*t.
