Do We Have Soul?

I came across this on YouTube
What do you think? Are we musical gamers progressive? Do we have soul like other gamers?

It's all subjective and personal opinions really, I love music games, but it's not the ONLY type of video game I enjoy.

I play Racing, Fighting, Shooting, Action, Adventure, RPG, Puzzle, whatever kinds of games I can get my hands on. This feels like the guy really only looked at Guitar Hero and DDR's gameplay and thought 'wow, that's it? That's ALL the game has to offer for these gamers?' and called it a day. Rhythm gaming hasn't really changed it's formula for the past decade or so, but it really has given gamers a much more 'different' experience than a standard sit-down linear experience with most games nowadays.

And you can only ask James Brown if we got Soul.

Compared to what? Cause the hot ticket in the gaming market belongs to First Person Shooters. Do we have more soul than FPS games? I'd like to think so. At least the rhythm gaming community knows how to do something unique and original every once in a while instead of rehashing old concepts and plastering on new DLC.

Quoting me out of context, are we?

not really

also not so much warriors of rock as

I think we have soul. We aren't Souled Out yet...

I'll just leave now

I don't know about you guys, but I know I got soul.

EDIT: In other words, yes.

I've got my own brand of soul.

(Enough shitposting. Let's get serious.)

tbh this is one of my favorite songs like ever

Its activation..... they dont count.... much

I keep reading over the original quote and there's something in it that irks me.
Nice job trying to pass off your own ignorant bias as gospel truth. But you're factually incorrect. There's no correlation between having a favorite genre of video game and a lack of experience in other genres. That's like saying "If you like rock, that means you don't like pop". Who are you to say that's true? Where's the evidence that supports that allegation?
Oh wait. I'm sorry. I'm expecting intelligence from a YouTube commenter. My apologies.

This... and I love ddr and other rhythem games to death.... But i also kick ass on tetris, CoD (well that doesnt take skills), and Counter-strike

Everyone is entitled to have their own personal favorite games and genres, and all one really needs to do is worry about what they like to play and enjoy themselves. A simple concept, yet many gamers lack the common sense to grasp it.

I feel like this entire thread can be summed up in one sentence: You can't make radical statements about something you don't understand completely without completely understanding it and every component relevant to the statement. Even though the statement is mostly true for me, I still occasionally enjoy other genres; I just don't do it often because I prefer one genre (rhythm games) over another (i.e. fighting games, racing games, FPS's, etc.). Furthermore, one could easily say the same for FPS fans. It'd still be wrong. Very few genres (if that) can actually apply to the original statement, because the majority of people don't tend to stay exactly within the confines of one genre unless done so unintentionally. What I mean by this is that there are people who don't really ever play video games (particularly those who are older) who will stay with one game (namely fitness-centered games) because either, A: They don't need and/or want to expand outside of one genre or B: they're never exposed to the genre in the first place. So, bottom line, we have as much soul as every other person who plays games for the sake of doing so.

Nothing in gaming ever has one forever.
They'll be cherished, then they'll sink deep...deep...forgotten.

Nah but seriously, music games offer progression. Story modes, different difficulties to pass. It's same like with all other games. Same goes for logic games like Tetris. What's wrong with enjoying some Tetris or Puyo Puyo.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it. Guy looks like a blatant douche nozzle. Does drunk let's plays. pretty much trying to be pewdiepie, but adding the drunk part. Quite sad, being honest.
