Remember, there are tons of uninformed people out there whose gaming activities only seem to involve DOTA(Defence of the Ancients Warcraft III mod), Counter-Strike, Winning Eleven and Dynasty Warriors. It's as if nothing else existed or that everything else is deemed by them to be inifinitely inferior. (Ugh...)It's more of a Singaporean culture than anything else really. People cannot be bothered to try out new stuff on their own. Others want the best bang for their buck, ie "free" DOTA via hamachi/owning and playing the one and only pirated copy of Winning Eleven for their entire PS2 "collection" for ages. I've played Rez for the DC(also out for PS2) and found it to be one of the most immersive games of all time. No hype about it whatsoever, and it only takes slightly above an hour to normal completion. Probably a very abysmal game with lousy money-to-gameplay-hours value by Singaporean standards.


the above paragraph talks about the singapore gaming community. it seems to be true though. singapore gamers mindset..around 90% of them.. will only follow and play whats popular, instead of trying something new. thats why if you look around, you will only find people playing psp, ps2, Dota, CS. very rare to find people playing nds, warcraft 3 alternate maps and etc. and why is this so? for a very simple reason: singaporeans think that its cool to follow the trend. most think that if they buy a ds instead of a psp, they are being kiddish as they thought ds = gameboy. sigh, if only singaporean mindset can change then maybe innovative gaming softwares may pop up.
