Fat Asks "Why?"

WHY is it that I'm looking forward to only about 2 Nintendo games, and I REALLY want to play them, but I'm looking forward to about 10-12 Playstation titles, but in perspective it doesn't matter if I EVER play them?

WHY am I not playing Soul Caliber anymore, but I'm still Playing VF3 Team Battle? I mean, SC's a MUCH better game....isn't it?

WHY does the DC pad have fewer buttons than the Saturn Pad? The Design was BASED off of the Analog Pad that came with nIghts, but IMO it should have BEEN the nIghts pad.

WHY did Square omit Final Fantasy 4 (known to us old-school SNES players as Final Fantasy II) from their Final Fantasy Anthology? I know we basically got a "kiddie" version of the game here, but it really isn't too much different from the "full" version. It's even mostly TRANSLATED already!!!

WHY did everybody actually LIKE the Ack-Lame WWF games until one came out for Dreamcast? The games sucked all along, you know...

WHY have I heard people proclaim that the PSX Dual Shock pad is the "greatest controller of all time?" For analog games it may be good, but until they get rid of that segmented D-Pad and the TWO left and right buttons that are the size of ONE of your fingers, I'll stick with a Namco stick, thanks.

WHY do most ALL Video Game Commercials (not only Sega, but Sony too) show no more than 2 SECONDS of actual game footage, IF they show any at all? I noticed Capcom started making their OWN commercials, which is a good idea for them, since they actually show their games instead of 28 seconds of hammy idiot actors trying to make you laugh.

WHY is it that Nintendo actually SHOWS more of their games, but they show the game slowing down and looking like crap?

WHY is it that Sega comes up with something as cool as the VMS memory cards, but only puts enough memory in them to store 2 of some games? You don't see many Sony games pulling that crap (except Gran Tourismo).

Speaking of GT, WHY is GT2 so buggy and incomplete?

WHY do some friends never pay back the money the owe you?

WHY do some of these idiot game sites consider 2D games passe' over 3D games? statues didn't replace paintings, did they? It's a different style, and one is just as legit as the other.

WHY is it that I'm looking at Brad's list of Working Designs games, and while some of them make me nod my head in approval, others make me cringe because of their mediocrity? (Shining Wisdom & Albert Odessey, to name a couple)

WHY does Geeky like that Babylon 5 crap? (I can hear some Fanboys shouting "Fat's goin' DOWN!!!")

WHY don't I think that Tekken's the best fighting game series of all time, like everyone else seems to? Just for once, I'd like to be a conformist.

WHY does Rare stress Quantity over Quality in games? Take Donkey Kong 64 for example: Who has the time to run through the same playfields over and over again to pick up thousands of bananas? Who WANTS that kind of time?

WHY is Match of the Millennium: SNK vs. Capcom for the Neo Geo Pocket better than most full-sized console fighting games?

WHY hasn't there been a really good 4 player Bomberman game since the days of the 16-bit systems?

WHY is it when I try to enjoy some good competitive fighting in the arcades with games like Soul Caliber and VF3, there's always some morons who fake like they don't know the moves, then say "ha-HA!" and try to whoop you, only to get their asses handed to them anyway?

WHY is this article over already?
