"How...The hell did you get up there!?"

[Lt Robert Cole]

Sports games and RTS games are copies of old ones.

So yes, I have little to add to this thread.

I don't often see RTS games up there.

Though i saw CoD: WaW up there once, that made me VERY angry

Fuck off. CoD: WaW is a good game.

OT: How the fuck did Brothers in Arms get in the top row?

Brothers in Arms is a great game. It's probably one of the only shooters that I've played that actually made me care about the characters and whether or not they lived or died.

Football games selling well make me rage.

I agree, sports games make me sad. I can't stand them.

Oh sure, he says he hates Football games and he gets a positive quote.
I say I don't care for snowboarding games and SuisekeiIRl or whatever her name is yells at me and calls me a thick skulled jerk who only plays FPS games.

Yeah, sports games drive me nuts too. Hooray for comiseration!

I'm gonna go buy Gyromancer on Steam now.

I say fuck every sports game. Why play it on a console when you can play it outside. They basically are the same game with minor, minor tweaks and upgrades.

And yes that only applies to sports games because you can't go outside and have a team deathmatch.

well you could, it just wouldn't be appreciated much.

My local BlockBuster's number 4 most rented is Rogue Warrior. I tell myself that this is because people want to see how bad it is, but have this doubt in the back of my head...

See, I like niche titles like the SMT series, so number charts tend to get ignored by me. But if I were to see FIFA or somesuch silliness hogging the spotlight from say... Folklore, residing lower on said chart, I would rage.
Fortunately, not enough people play Folklore to make that possible. xD

Ever walked into a video game shop, looked into you console's top 10 section to see a game such as "FIFA 10", "PES 10" or "The-casual-gamers-game" at number one?

I have many a time. Its annoying to see a good title such as DISSIDIA which pushed the bounds in Beat 'em Ups and what can be done on a hand held console (anyone who has played it will understand, ignore that comment if you haven't) somewhere in the low 20s while some kind of sports game (that the dev. releases every year with minor graphic upgrades and gameplay mechanic tweaking) hog number one? Annoying I'd say, what do you guys think?

Push the boundaries for fighters Dissidia may well have done, but the yearly iterations of football games usually do the same every 2-3 years when one or other of the series regains the upper hand. Just because you don't like them, doesn't mean that they a) aren't good, and b) aren't worthwhile games. And don't mistake me for a casual gamer, but the depth of both the current Fifa and PES iterations in multiplayer is astonishing. It also shouldn't surprise you given that football is the world's most popular sport, and most of those fans don't have the stamina or physique or commitment to recreate it IRL. If you are honest about it, you'll admit that you (and most anyone else who shares your opinion in this thread) just don't like these games and haven't taken the time to master them. This naturally means that you don't appreciate them, and so don't understand why others appreciate them. It is a bit like how I don't understand how or why Halo became/remains popular. It's quite boring, and FPS on consoles is impossibly cumbersome, slow, and unwieldy. I suppose I might get more out of it if I sunk 50+ hours into teaching my finger how to do it properly.

And I don't believe myself superior because I don't like them, its just annoying that it achieves the same spot every year for a week minimum for such a rudimentary upgrade, if it was that good it would be number one all the time.

I'm mediocre at best at it, in real life, I may seem fat, but I run fast (not so great in the stamina department)...But that has nothing to do with anything because im a goalkeeper by choice, a fair one, I use to play Badminton so that helps (if your asking why, Hand-Eye coordination).

Plus my step-brother is completely OBSESSED by football im talking the full works he got FIFA 10 and PES 10 (yes my question was that too), im playing pool with my papa, and he blets out "2-1 to Tamworth" when my papa got a second ball in. He is very physically fit, and everyone i know who does play FIFA and assorted are quite physically fit.

I know its the most fucking popular I never hear the fucking end of it at the fucking weekend (yes, that's when I see my step-brother and papa).

Also, I found Halo interesting only in multiplayer, I have no idea how Halo 3 still remains quite popular, but I digress: FPSs are only a genre to me, I'll play anything good, like Tekken 6 is a vast improvement on Tekken 5, not to mention the fact its the first Tekken ported onto the PS3, then I might move onto Endwars, Infamous, MW2, DISSIDIA, TWEWY and the list goes on, so im not bias, I just hate things i don't like.

football games have a large, faithful market. quit whining. it's like the sun rising. there will always be masses of people eager to buy sports games.

personally, i don't get sports games. they're boring. it'd be more fun to actually go out and play the sport.

From everything I've heard, FIFA 10 is amazing. Believing that a game from a genre you don't like automatically sucks is a little close-minded.

Oh I *twitch* love *twitch* sports games *convulses*

 

[Jhaotic]

I enjoy most sports games, especially things like Fifa 10. Hell, yes I can, and do go outside and play football, but if I'm with friends its fun to play at night or whatever.

As a football fan it's also really quite enjoyable to play with the team you support in things like manager mode.

I wonder if I'm gonna get crucified now?

QFT. It's just the same shit every year, and idiots who 'Almost went pro!' will but it every year. FUCK THAT SHIT!

Sports games. I don't think those things should EVER get top shelf. They just aren't that fun.

i feel your pain dude.
when i was young, i could not understand how people loved to buy basically the same sports game every year just because it has a brand new number and they hope for a suprise at the bottom of the cereal box but all they find is a gaping hole of disappointment while all the good titles are acting as if they're all pacifists saying, "that's all right, you go on ahead"\

CAN"T TRUS DA SYSTEM!

 

[Craky777]

i dont really like the fact that sports games are one the top ten it just shows how lazy people are getting instead of going out side and playing the sport they stay inside and play it on there couch

 

[righthead]

I agree with your complaint in principal, I can't fathom how something that's basically a re-hash of something that came out a year before can make top-ten anything. However, I played Dissidia, and I consider it the worst game I've bought since the last time I bought a sports title. Admittedly, most of the titles I buy I play at least twice through in their entirety, so it still wasn't a waste of money.

Oh, that's much better. Mind you, it's always freakin' the newest iteration of Call of Duty at the top. God, that kills me. Although, I saw one the other day which had Arkham Asylum as number one, and L4D2 as number 2. That was good. But generally they're crap.
