Most impossible fan base to please?

[Sharalon]

I know! The minecraft fanbase!

Allow me to explain: The minecraft fanbase seem to think that minecraft is like the best thing ever and they will all be sooo dissapointed the next time mojang releases anything. Good or bad, that Scrolls thing is going to be the most hated thing since Hitler!

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Every fanbase. They can ALWAYS find some thing or the other to whine about.

 

[Byere]

Most impossible? That would be the gaming fan base in general.

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.

*phew* Needed a breath after that.

a bit slow? at the start? You do realize its over 30 hours (Half the game) that is 'slow.' Also, no game should make you 'force' yourself to get through it. If this is true, then the game has failed.

I could argue why this is, imo, the worst major release is video game history, but I have written it out to many times already on these forums.

Oh God. Another Yahtzee quoter.

Here's the beauty of this: Half-Life 2 is a game you need to force yourself to get to a certain point. Mass Effect bores people until after the Citadel. WoW is a game you need to force yourself to play until you beat for it to be entertaining. Mine Craft? People need to play for at least an hour or two before they figure it out. Ya know what's beautiful? Our good fellow Yahtzee adores all of these games. So, before you quote people like this, why don't you sit down and play the game passed the horrid beginning, which I agree is absolutely horrible.

Worst game release in history? You're right. FFXIII is just so much worse than Barbie Horse Adventure and Sonic Unleashed. "OMGZ IT HAZ NO TOWNS! DIE SQUARE DIE" You're ridiculous, troll.

While I agree with you on how annoying people who quote Yahtzee can be, and that it is true how you have to force yourself through half life 2 and mass effect, (WOW is nothing but forcing yourself, and I haven't really played mine craft yet) NONE of those sections (WOW excluded) were 30 hours long. That's not simply a beginning, it's the breaking point for anyone with the patience to sit through complete crap.

The Halo Community, there's the half that strives for change and the other half that wants to stay true to halo ce

I remember the days I used to actually frequent the Reach forums. Then I realized what a lost cause it was.

That forum can pretty much validate the worst stereotypes of Halo fanboys while still having what seems like half of everybody completely hate the game. The closest I get to that forum is the Optimatch forum. Still a crapload of whiners, but the worst kind of fanboys are usually absent. And of course the community forum. That's my favorite by far.

 

[FightThePower]

Valve's fanbase.

"We want more content!"
*TF2 items*
"We want less content!"

Seriously, just go to the steam forums and have a look around. There's so much whining it's obscene. I remember when L4D2 came out and there was this big fuss about how you couldn't see your feet like in L4D1, and I remember people complaining about reload animations.

 

[dakorok]

Hipsters.

 

[Krion_Vark]

CoD they complained about MW2 being unbalanced now they complain about Black Ops being too balanced.

BlOps is still an unbalanced mess in terms of Spawn Points but the rest of the game is getting better towards being balanced.

 

[Death God]

True, die-hard fanboys. I mean the kind of fanboys that live and breathe what ever it is they are fans of. That and "bible-beaters". You get a die hard christian from a certain religion and they won't even hear a slight objection.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

Every fan base ever.

I have seen some incredibly close minded (and downright stupid) statements come from every kind of fan of every kind of game.

I've been accused of having 'low standards' (or words to similar effect)... but if it means I can actually enjoy most of the games I play then I'm okay with that.

Now excuse my while I go enjoy Dragon Age 2, Sonic 4, Dead Space 2, Fable 3 and Halo: Reach.

 

[blankedboy]

The My Little Pony fanbase

Just kidding, they'll just tolerate and love anything that comes their way.

I vote CoD too, because it's too vast to please everyone.

 

[Rook]

the biggest one

 

[Blondi3]

I'd probably agree with some of the others here and say the MMO community. They/we are vicious. Then again we pay monthly for the game. We don't want to be paying for a game that doesn't work or ruins what we have already paid for. Not justified for the most part but it's still a partial excuse.

 

[Arawn.Chernobog]

Proud self-proclaimed "Hardcore G4m3rz!"

They're also the most annoying bunch as well.

 

[Hamster at Dawn]

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

Well recent Sonic games do have a strong tendency to suck... but you're right, it would be impossible to please the fan base at large anyway.

 

[AtheistAndProud]

"the sonic fanbase, they complain about everything that happens in the games,"
And rightly so, have you PLAYED recent sonic games?
Okay, Colors was alright, but before that they were buggy and stupid and had ice-age-long cutscenes.

 

[Chris646]

The Sonic fanbase. They yell about the bad games, they yell about the new games.

 

[Spartan X1]

The WOW fanbase, they are called legion for they are many

 

[HardkorSB]

I would say, nerds.
