Games or developers you hate on principle

[JeanLuc761]

Jeez, a lot of hate for PC gamers in this thread. Shameful.

Yeah but anyone can be good at an Fps if they play on a PC.

Depends on the game. Mouse/Keyboard is more accurate but most console FPS's use auto-aim to compensate for that. PC FPS's on harder difficulties are easily as difficult as, if not more than console FPS's.

For a reason mind you. FPSs are the thing to play these days as shown by Halo and MW. FPSs is the only genre PC gamers are REALLY good at.

*looks at puzzle games, RTS, RPG's, and some Action/Adventure games.*


OT: I'm getting fed-up with Ubisoft for their idiotic DRM and business practices of late, and the same goes for Activision.

i believe the company is "twin peaks" those clowns who made Two Worlds. TWICE i've been suckered in by them. I now consider their company's stamp to be The Black Spot.

I swear Two Worlds gets mentioned in any thread. I think they did something special, made a game sooo bad even Bubsy 3D doesn't want to be seen with it.

Me- Rockstar- No interest in their boring open worlds.

 

[GonzoGamer]

On principal? No!
If they can make an enjoyable game, I can dig them.
Fanboys of every camp are obnoxious, you shouldn't let them deter you from a cool experience.

Obnoxious fanboys aren?t the reason I decided to buy a ps3 rather than a 360 (not to say there aren?t obnoxious sony fanboys out there) that decision was made by failing hardware and online fees.

The only time that you might want to avoid a game because of the fanboys is if it?s a strictly online game you need a headset for.

No.
That's just silly.

blizzard/ activision
I hate blizzard because they gave me a job then took it away when I went in for training after canceling classes too so I refuse to give them money for anything now, if I have to play something they make Ill steal it.

activision because kotek is a massive asshole

Nintendo

I don't hate them for their games, just the way they brought motion control into the world. In my opinion, motion control was dropped on it's head as soon as it came out of the womb, by mainly selling it to people who suck at games, with all those simple 'casual' games for parents with a single child (who is probably under 12 and asked/whined for them to buy it)who say that 'it's the best thing ever'. So this lead to developers using the platform for casual games for idiots, and if it was used for anything else it is shunned for being on the platform for babies. If it had been introduced to hardcore gamers first, it could have been put to better use than excercise for fatties.

I hate PC gaming, because the people that do it are always so condescending and elitist. They just anger me.

FPSs is the only genre PC gamers are REALLY good at.

*Hits with keyboard*

Oh I am sorry, the RTS in me just screamed out!

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

I never hate any game on principle. Games are a form of entertainment, and the only thing that should contribute to your opinion of them is how entertaining they are. To be honest, I think hating a game because lots of other people like is, quite simply, childish.

 

[Gunner 51]

I despise Bobby Kotick, I know he's been mentioned six ways to Sunday already. But my disdain for him and his greed burns like a thousand suns. (A bit over dramatic there...)

I also don't like Nintendo very much simply because they just keep trotting out the same cloying and saccharine "family friendly" games all the time.

I don't hate PC gamers. I'd be one if i had the money. I just think it's unacceptable when they act all snobby and superiour about it. (And we all know someone who's like that.)
Games are supposed to be played for fun.

 

[theriddlen]

Kotick. Activision.

Bungie/Micro$uck Games ~ For pinching off a stinking loaf of a mediocre FPS and claiming it is the best thing that ever happened to the FPS genre, granted it was probably the best thing to happen to XBox FPS gaming but that is a fairly easy feat given the crap that comes out on consoles. Halo fanboys I will lump into the same category, as they share the same limited hive mind, probably some sort of hive mind with severe brain damage. Sure Halo maybe the greatest thing to ever grace your FAILbox drive, but once again, that is as far as it's influence extends. To others it is as generic as a game can be, in fact the poster child for generic, consolised FPS.

Bitter/Jealous Console Fanboys ~ Consoles are the easy choice, not the best choice, I know you will never understand that. Or the fact that everyone uses a PC, even you, or that the TV if you want the best from a console game also factors into the price. There is nothing wrong with liking gaming to be easy. I too enjoy just popping a PS3 game in and playing it. Just sit on the couch and play on a 52 " screen is fun, I can do the exact same on a PC but that isn't the point, but easy is rarely the best. Long ago I decided I wanted the best from my gaming experience, and to be blunt, that simply cannot happen on a console. The hardware is well beyond it's expiry date, and visually they cannot keep up. The debacle with Mafia II console versions proves this. So, if you choose console only there is nothing wrong with it, but to believe it is anything but the easy choice is ridiculous. I myself will likely always be multi-platform, but PC will always be the highest priority. If there is even a hint at a PC version, I won't bother with the more expensive, less featured console version if if the PC version is a year behind.

Half-Life 2 is great, but there are a lot of great PC FPS games, try games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Cryostasis, Amnesia: The Dark Decent or Necrovision.

Listen to this guy, he knows what he's talking about.

Can someone tell me why I don't like Bioware? I really don't know why but after being really excited for mass effect 1 I got bored with it half way through and because of it have no interest in other Bioware games. I don't hate them but I don't understand all the praise. A few negative comments one of the heads said about jrpgs kinda made me mad but other than that I don't really know why I don't like them.

I hate the president of Activision for what he is doing to the business and artistic sides of gaming (also the fact that he's making EA look like your friendly neighborhood big game corporation) and Zynga for all the reasons that have been said before but you also have to admire their success at suckering people out of their money

 

[strum4h]

Valve thanks to Steam, no need to elaborate. But I especially hate Blizzard on account of StarCraft II. I just think that either you bring out the whole game, or you don't bring it out at all.

Have you played the campaign. It is a full sized campaign not just 1/3 of it.

 

[Polyg0n]

Sega, just Sega. They've milked the Sonic for a long time producing some failures for a couple of years, and hardly ever do anything with their other franchises. Yes, Sonic Colors and Sonic 4 are looking good, but I've grown out and lost interest of Sonic because of those failures and haven't bought a Sonic game since Sonic Advance 2, I believe.

I think Sega is doing pretty well on the arcade scene. Some of their new arcade games are really good (escpecially Border Break is awesome). It is just too bad that we rarely get to see those outside of Japan.

On topic: I hate WOW although I've never even played it, but that's the only game.

 

[Something Amyss]

I don't hate Valve because of their fanboys. I'm wary of Steam, though.

I reserve my "hatred" for franchises or devs who do things in certain ways, though. I mean, any big company or franchise has fanboys. But it takes a real head-up-yer-arse individual to create MGS, and Kojima was his name-o. Bobby Kotick is another such jackass. I now avoid Final Fantasy more or less on principle, since the games haven't been fun or inventive for iterations now.

 

[Wakefield]

Ubisoft and Activison. Although I doubt I'm alone in that sentiment.

 

[Johnnyallstar]

Treyarch, and the new Sledgehammer games. Because of a bad contract deal, they get to take whatever Infinity Ward made and continue the series created by IW. IW does amazing work producing incredible tools, and Treyarch and now Sledgehammer just takes what they made and slogs out a game without really improving or really creating new material at all. Just because they're Nazi Zombies doesn't mean that zombies in a shooter is an original idea.

The whole situation with Treyarch, IW, and Activision was like a father who had a good son, and a preferred son. The good son did everything it could to please the father, but the father kept taking whatever the good son did, and gave it all to the preferred*. Unlike companies contracting to use the Unreal engine, or Source, IW has no choice how their creation is used because of their contractual obligations. IW got a raw deal.

*No, this is not projection, this is a psychological observation.
