OT: It's gotta be Activision, but that doesn't mean I won't buy the games.
OP, thank you for making this thread. I've been meaning to make one myself, but couldn't without getting banned. I have to agree with Valve because of their fanboys who have been trolling ever Halo: Reach thread in existence. However, having said that I love L4D2
I really have to agree. It's not the be-all-and-end-all of gaming. I find a good ol' controller better, but I really hate *SWEEPING GENERALISATION ALERT* PC Gamers' attitude and arrogance to non-PC Gamers.MrDeckard said:
The only reason PC gamers act elitist, is because most console gamers (MOST, maybe and probably not you) act like snot nosed little children who just bought a new console with daddys wallet, who think they are all the finest thing to graze gods green earth. It's a bit unrealistic to say that all PC gamers are elitist, but when you see the 'typical' squeaking arrogant American 12 year old playing COD, it kinda just proves my point.MrDeckard said:
Not saying there are no pc gamers like that, but you need a LITTLE bit of pc know-how to be a pc gamer, especially if you are building yourself.
Anyway, on topic: I hate Uncharted and U2, because everyone hypes so much about them, and in the end, they are just so average. Being a PC and PS3 gamer myself, it was annoying to hear the graphics being hyped up so much, and then they turned out to be average, especially after years of Crysis's graphics
-And no, that is not fanboyism, that is fact. Crysis graphics > Uncharted graphics.
Also Halo games. Bungie could have made them so much better. Halo 3 is fun, damn fun, but all the Halo's to be released after that are just the same, or with improvements so minor it's not worth mentioning. Kinda similar to your point about Half life 2, Xbox players can't seem to stop going on about them
Apparently people hate things on principle because they don't like people that like things.
It's so difficult not to get flamey when you bleeping bleeps don't stop it with the damn console vs pc debate. Your stereotypes are reinforced through confirmation bias. Your preference is personal. Console gamers aren't all retards and PC gamers aren't all elitists. (Clearly some are both.)
If you're going to hate a developer on principle, hate them for their shady/obnoxious business practices, or their track record for crappy games. Hating something because other people like it makes no sense, unless you're a hipster who hates mainstream things solely because they're mainstream.
OT: Zynga, for the aforementioned shady business practices, crappy games, and annoying/evil implantation in social networking.
