Most impossible fan base to please?

[GunstarHero]

"MW2 is a buggy mess!"

"RE5 DLC is on the disc? ARGH! Why are they making money for extras?"

"Black Ops MP is the same as MW2!" (Plays it anyway)

"ME2 was terrible because it wasn't the same as the first one!" (Ok, that one I agree with).

My point is, every fan base I'm seen has by and large had a problem with every new game in a series/franchise. Have you noticed this? And which fan base is the hardest to please?

I'm prepared to accept an answer of console fanbases.

"M$ just want to make money on the 360!"
or
"PSN isn't perfect! I want my (no) money back!"

Superman fans are impossible to please. Everyone has their own very unique interpretation of who or what Superman is and means.

 

[drbarno]

the sonic fanbase, they complain about everything that happens in the games,

 

[GunstarHero]

That's true. I won't mention S64, but fair to say that didn't please anyone.

Do you think the movie reboot will spawn another awful game?

 

[Rayne870]

My general opinion of the vocal portion of the gamer community is this: "Waaaaaaaaahhhhhh, the game isn't how I would make it, so it sucks and no one else should like it"

Superman fans are impossible to please. Everyone has their own very unique interpretation of who or what Superman is and means.

That's because Superman has an appallingly small amount of characterization for someone who has had the spotlight shone on him for so long, so everyone fills him up with their own presumptions. I guess.

Anarchists? I dunno, drawing a blank.

I do not know how Duke Nukem can possible impress its fans enough to justify the 10 year delay. I mean, nothing short of this game elevating games to a recognized artistic medium, its writers earning noble prizes in literature, while it still is as violent and agressive and non-cover based shooter as possible, all the while keeping true to the previous installments.

It will still be good, but it will inevitably fall short

I think it has more to do with decades of inconsistent characterizations and convuluted histories. It also has to do with the term "Superman" and what that means to someone. What is someone's ideal of the perfect person.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

All of them.

Fans are a notoriously whiny lot. No matter what you do, SOMEONE is going to ***** about it.
You pretty much have to ignore that bitching entirely to get anything half-decent done. Trying to please people just makes everything worse.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Any fanboy of any fan base. Ever.


A lot of fans are self entitled, whiney bitches, and are only ever satisfied if a sequal ends up being exactly like it's predecessor. Just looks at the whole DA2 mess.

The game is more streamlined.

"Nuhuh! It's dumbed down for the console tards!"

Character archetypes are not as important, so it's not as necessary to always have a 2 mage 1 tank set up, the same level of tactics is still required at higher levels.

"Nuhuh! It's just easier!"

The dialogue wheel streamlines conversation, making a more fun engaging conversation system.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAH! DRAGON EFFECT 2! WAAAAAAAAH!"

I could do this all day...

The MMO Market.

"Too grindy."
"I don't feel like I'm working towards anything."
"You only get more gear so you can raid."
"It's too repetitive."
"Too many random encounters."

Ect.

PC Gamers, I am a pc gamer myself by the way.

14 years, actually.

A lot of Duke fans are not looking at the game expecting it to make up for the 14 year delay. They just want to get the game that they were supposed to get in 1998, except with better graphics, more polish, and more interactivity, which is what the new Duke Nukem Forever is, basically.

Of course, there will be some who expect the game to be the greatest in the universe. So great that alien bastards invade our planet searching for the game, and by playing the game, we will have trained to be an army of Duke Nukems, to fight back the aliens...

Yeah.

Superman fans are impossible to please. Everyone has their own very unique interpretation of who or what Superman is and means.

Really? How so? He's a hero who feels constantly alienated because he is the sole survivor of his race, but will do good no matter what. How do you make the character feel convoluted?

Basically, any fans who blames developers for not making game they want.

 

[Cat of Doom]

The Final fantasy fanbase

They will never be pleased with another FF product unless:

A mirical occurs and it somehow trannsends the "genius" of FF7

or

Square enix remakes FF7. Though they will still probebly complain it isnt as good as the original FF7

This. I have never seen a bigger collective of entitled idiots. If you don't like it, don't fucking play it.

 

[DigitalAtlas]

The MGS fanbase.

They complain that the fourth installment is a giant movie, yet everyone before the game's launch was hoping for more of the extreme cutscenes the players got from the first three installments. Of course there's going to be double the amount, it's the final one and they know they enjoyed almost every cutscene.

Another hard one? The FF fanbase

"We need new gameplay'

They make FFXII

"It's boring!!!"

"We want a cinematic adventure!!!!"

They make FFX

"It has so many cutscenes!"

"We want a game with BOTH great cutscenes AND new gameplay"

They give us FFXIII, albeit a bit slow at start, the game is actually pretty impressive and fast-paced once you force yourself to get to disc two. But of course, twas hated. In fact, you could argue the entire JRPG fanbase is being far too picky this gen.

American voters

If they're fans, they'll eat up whatever their party does.

If not, they're not fans.

Thoughts?
