A person who talks about how S3D adds nothing to a game but has never tried it out with a game or at least tried to seek out the opinions of those who have is NOT a journalist. Not even slightly. Just because you write something that other people read (or blab away on TV) doesn't make you a journalist.
As to why people throw hate at it, there are a truckload of reasons:
[list]
[*]They've seen it in movies (or whatever) and it wasn't so good there.
[*]It's pricey - a 3D monitor or TV costs a bunch. Lots of folks can't afford that. It eases the pain if they can convince themselves that they don't want it anyway.
[*]It's different. For many people, different is BAD until proven otherwise (plus a few years in quarantine - just in case).
[*]The glasses. For a lot of people this is a MAJOR hang up. What if somebody sees them wearing glasses that aren't cool?
[*]The glasses part 2 - practicality. If you're one of those players that goes in and out of game mode several times an hour, the glasses really are a bother.
[*]Medical issues. Some folks really can't see the 3D.
[/list]
And probably some more if I would bother to sit and think about it.
That said, the hate has definitely been dying down over the past year.
P.S. Game reviews are great stuff! You just have to know how to read them. If you just look at the rating number and go with that, you're doomed. You've got to read it, pull out the facts, then try to balance the opinions given against your own likes and dislikes.

Ok, so the major problem is that:
a) most gamers are young and don't have the money to get 3D
b) because they are young they are scared what there friends think of them when they see they are wearing silly glasses
Makes sense cause neither applies to me since I'm 40+.
(My friends don't play games anyway cause most of them have a family and think gaming is just for kids...)

I ve got one and playing in 3D (GT5, Uncharted 3, killzone,...) was not the best experience of my life: low rez, blurry textures, low fps, headhake,...Definetly not the best showcase for 3D gaming. /happy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':happy:' />

hmm interesting. I'm LOVIN my ps3 3d. GT5 and Uncharted 3 look great to me. I do cheat and make the ps3 think my tv is small, so i have more depth. Love lookin at all my cars i've earned in 3d. Uncharted3 has great graphics and depth!

Well than maybe that is why people who have tried 3D gaming think that it all sucks. Because some of it does suck.
