I know you didn't mean it seriously. I was just expressing how I hate that it is a common phrase for expressing that one doesn't see the attraction to something the same way people ask, "Is there something wrong with me for not liking ________?" Because it's an invite for all the trolling...

I'm getting tired of the fact that it's a common figure of speech when someone doesn't like something that a lot of other people do, then they assume something is wrong with them. Why do people have to like everything that other people like too? What the hell is wrong with different people...

I think these people would disagree with that:

No, you are not the only one. It's why I am using what little expendable income I have right now buying up current and last gen games I passed on that look good so I have plenty to play when I skip the next gen due to all this bullcrap.

I generally don't like underwater levels either. And the thing is that I could enjoy them is developers weren't so dead-set on making the character/vehicle I have to move control like shit then they could be great, since quite a few of them are beautiful to look at. Next up would be areas...

Someone who actually pronounces "ocarina" correctly....impressive. And I agree 100% with #1. Not even the four parter from Twilight Princess can match how epic that final battle from OoT was.

True, she did have comments on, but they all had to be approved by her before they would go in the comments section. And all of the comments she allowed were agreeing with her. Every single one. I find it hard to believe that there wasn't a single comment submitted that disagreed with her...

Man! I was waiting for Graham to say: *sigh* oh well... And the end of time in this scenario would most likely include a massive heart attack.

I feel the same way. And that whole thing Janelle said about not wearing a cheap watch with a suit, that is something I consider a common sense kind of thing. The fact that some of this stuff has to be spelled out to people and was never taught to them, either by a parent or in school, is very...

I am glad that Susan brought up Bioshock Infinite in this discussion. Granted, it wasn't as buggy as Colonial Marines (at least the PS3 version I played wasn't) but I was still disappointed with what I ultimately got because the 2010 and 2011 gameplay videos showed a game that, to me, was a...

If Bioshock Infinite shouldn't be sued for false advertising, neither should Aliens: Colonial Marines. In my opinion, Bioshock Infinite fell much shorter of what was advertised than Colonial Marines did. Just compare all those E3 trailers to what we actually got. The first video is a brief...

Agreed. I never questioned why Nate killed those guys. They were out to kill him whether he wanted to kill them or not. So it was either going to be him or them. The only part of an Uncharted game that didn't make sense to me (at first) from the whole ludonarative perspective was at the end...

One of the issues I see with trying to eliminate the phrase-of-the-day we've been presented with is that eliminating it in certain genres is a lot easier than eliminating it in others. In games that stress player choice and that those choices will affect the outcome, it becomes exponenentially...

Another American here who didn't get to his senior prom either: 1.) I only had a few acquaintanes in high school (the two friends I had went to other schools) and only one of them was going to the prom. 2.) I was only into rock music at the time and I knew I wouldn't like what they were...

I am not sure what to think about Jason Rubin wanting $2 million. He worked for them for less than a year, and he accepted a job working for a company that he should have known was in trouble. And personally, when a company is in trouble, the leadership needs to take responsibility. But in...
