Gamings biggest douche.

Master Chief. Who are you to not break through entire bunkers and slaughter aliens as if it were a game? So what if the developers limited your actual suit capacity to zit, you should be ripping time and space in half!

This actual has some canonical merit.

The covenant aren't so much "Evil aliens" as "Misguided religious f antics lead by a evil alien leader"

Have to say, close tie between Duke Nukem, Miranda Lawson and Lightning from ff13.

Lightning is just a bland character, and Square said they'd give her a happy ending. Whilst Vanille is trapped in stasis with no hope of escape.

Actually, maybe it's more Square who are douches...

Miranda constantly whines about how her dad created her to be the perfect woman. Since when was the a bad thing? Come back when you have something to complain about. You get everything handed to you on a plate, and spit on the more likable ones (IE Jack) who have to fight for survival on a daily basis.

Gary Oak.
Thread/

Nope. The Player in that game. Think about it, Gary has no parents, only his Grandfather, Professor Oak. Oak gives you all of his affection while treating Gary as much the second fiddle, berating his cries for attention. The only way Gary can think to earn his grandfather's approval is to become the pokemon master. Not only do you take this away from him shortly after he achieves it, you do so as his Grandfather walks through the door, and then congratulates you and takes you into the other room to put up your Hall of Fame data, leaving his Grandson alone with his failure.

So... the Player and Oak are kind of dicks...

Normally id agree and feel like a jerk. But A- Picking your weakess, B- Popping up at the WORST possible moments, C- Acting like a dick "See ya later HAHA!" "Ill tell my sister not to lend you one, Fag!" So fuck him =P

Well yeah, but these are ten year old kids. In the situation I have described, try and tell me year old you would have handled it maturely. In fact, a lot of ten year olds I know would handle it far worse than Gary.

I'm gonna give old Dukey a vote here, mostly for the 'looks like you're ...fucked' moment.

 

[LeQuack_Is_Back]

The guy that asked me "Why do you play Modern Warfare 2 if you don't quickscope?!" (After I'd mowed him down with an LMG, of course). Look, I think the entire concept is complete stupidity, created by 5-year olds with too much time on their hands, and guys like that only reinforce this line of thought. I understand that some people do it for the challenge, but almost every person I've seen doing does it so that they can claim to have something over me. Congratulations, you can exploit glitchy gameplay mechanics in a game that's virtually never patched. Bra- Freakin - Vo.

 

[CrimsonBlaze]

For me it has to be Snow from FF 13.

Yes! Of all the characters in that game that I hated, Snow definitely took the cake. You hardly get to play him and when you can you already have a much better character/Sentry than he will ever be. He always makes things turn to s*** and just goes on like it's not his fault. When he actually realizes that he's been giant, irresponsible brat, he tries to redeem himself.

He doesn't and for large portions of the sequel, it looks like he'll make a disappearing act for most of the game.

Gamers. We are pretty much all self entitled pricks who expect our every whim to be catered to all of the time.

...I just don't understand this mentality.

Gamers are customers, and have a right to get a product they want in return for their money. 'Entitlement' is a word that is thrown around by shills a lot these days, but that's just how business works. A restaurant makes money selling customers food they want to eat. A customer that orders steak is 'entitled' to a steak. The same goes for games.

There is a difference between being entitled to something and demanding a game to cater to your every whim. Most people should realize that games are trying to cater to (For the most part, anyways) either as many people as possible or to as big a niche as possible. It is natural to not share EVERYTHING in common with these niches/people, yet people seem to not recognize this and want ONLY themselves to be catered to.

Now, with that said, a lot of times this isn't everyone, but a vocal minority, but they are still douchey.

Your username is ScrewValve, really REALLY! How can you call steam a rental service, and say its turned into an xbox live. All it does is let you download games and let you chat with friends cross game there is nothing much to hate about it. You are seriously coming off as a troll. *hits report button*

OT: I would say Cliffy B, he just seems to bring the whole of gaming down with everything he says. Thinking PC gaming is for babies and saying people who gave gears 3 an 8 "haters".

Try selling off the steam games you own on steam, like you could do with boxed retail games, regardless of whether you would sell them or not. You cant, since you dont own them, you're just given a privilege to play them. You can chat with your friends without Steam, you dont need it to do that, there's plenty of free IM clients/overlays that let you do that. Steam is like the Xbox Live because it's a closed off gated infrastructure, from which you launch, update, and uninstall your games, like the xbox live on the consoles. And no, offline mode likes to go online without you telling it. There's no such thing as one-time activation only on steam. I'm not trolling. I do agree with you on CliffyB being a major douche.

Good job!

Seymour Guado. I wanted to punch him in the face the instant I first saw him and it only got worse from there. Then he turned out to be evil and I felt justified.

Totally agree. I do have to add Yuffie to this list though. I hate that ***** for so many reasons

[CardinalPiggles]

you're just given a privilege to play them.

At a severely reduced price in most cases. But that's my only argument with your statement.

This is completely hypothetical But you could also 'cheat' the system and make an account for each game, then sell on that account on the vast interwebs. I don't actually do it nor condone it, but the idea just popped into my head.

Gamers. We are pretty much all self entitled pricks who expect our every whim to be catered to all of the time.

...I just don't understand this mentality.

Gamers are customers, and have a right to get a product they want in return for their money. 'Entitlement' is a word that is thrown around by shills a lot these days, but that's just how business works. A restaurant makes money selling customers food they want to eat. A customer that orders steak is 'entitled' to a steak. The same goes for games.

Except that many times, some gamers don't just want a steak. They want a steak that is seared at exactly the right temperature, with the right balance of pink and brown, seasoned specifically and to perfection, and with the right kind of mashed potatoes - not too much gravy, not too runny, with a garnish with exactly three elements of green to it. Now multiply that by thousands, some of which actually like runny potatoes, hate any kind of pink in their steak, and think seasoned to perfection actually means light seasoning. Mix up the preferences. Tons of different iterations, right?

Then give each customer who gets served a steak a megaphone, and imbue a sense in all of them that their order can and should be executed exactly to their specifics, within days if not hours, without more than a general knowledge or understanding of how the restaurant makes their steaks.

That's where the "entitlement" thing comes from. And god help you if you replace their potatoes with something different, like broccoli.

Both sides have to give a little in order to not be douchey, to bring it back to the original topic. Devs have to not be douche enough to stubbornly stick to their design in the face of decently worded criticism or feedback, and players have to be not douche enough to know that mechanics, an engine, and resources sometimes prevent a steak from being exactly and totally perfect the first time.

Admittedly, both gamers and developers have the potential to be the biggest douches in gaming. I think we've all seen examples.

-Baffled at the mere notion that you were able to obtain said sword and shield.
-Begrudgedly lets you pass.
-Later, when you return, blames you for the Great Deku Tree's death.
-Jealous of the fact that Saria likes you better than he.
-Refuses to accept you as one of the Kokiri, no matter what you do for their people.

...dude, you're a douche.
