So yesterday, I was at a friends, and he brought up E3.
Friend: So what was your favorite part of it?
Me: Seeing Goldeneye, I'll finally get to play it on the wii!
Friend: It's gonna suck.
Me: Why?
Friend: The graphics suck, and it's on the wii.
Me: So?
Friend: To me, graphics are the most important part of a game, and the Wii probably couldn't even run Halo 3!

Your stupid reasons?
He's got a point! Just joking my friend.

PS3 Fanboys in my school

Another one is "Because the Reviewer Said So"

I often find myself swearing at game publishers for putting things in their game that are quite popular with most of their players. Expecting them not to really makes no sense.

"The in-game characters' hair looks stupid."

You have no idea how many times I've heard this.
Tales of Symphonia was an amazing game.
So was tons of other games with ridiculous hair.

Here's a great part of a conversation I was having with my Anti-Anime/RPG/JRPG friend.

Friend: What game you playing?
Me: Sigh. It's called Disgaea.
Friend: *watches me play it* lol wtf. You barely even move your character and it's all anime-ish. I bet it's an RPG too.
Me: Yeah. A tactical PRG.
Friend: That sounds pretty gay. Everything RPG related should go die in a fire.
Me: Guess that means Fallout 3 and Borderlands should too right?
Friend: . . . Well anime is still fag-tastic.
Me: Ever look at some art for the Zelda games? Link often is drawn in a anime way. His character models look anime-ish too. Oh then there is Pokemon which you love . . That probably should be burned too I guess.
Friend: . . . . . Fuck.
ME: Owned =D

Basically I dislike it when people say that anything with RPG elements is horrible.
Why do your "conversations" seem like they were scripted by an angry fanboy defending his final fantasy games passive aggressively? Of course that's not it, this is totally a real conversation.

Actual conversation I had with someone.

me: Hey why do you play JRPGs?
Someone: I enjoy watching underage girls wearing skimpy outfits while not being forced into any actual gameplay (so you only need one hand to play it)
me: why don't you just go online and look at naked women or hentai for free, instead of paying for really soft core stuff and being forced to listen to a pointless story about hippies fighting the evil whatever?
someone:.... (a real person wouldn't be silent right now, but I use silence to show that nobody ever has anything to say when I bash their hobbies with flawless logic, we must have that in common. Oh and he swears to show me I have won using my witty one sided logic) Fuck.
Me: Owned =D (this is my impression of how a 12 year old douchbag speaks after spending way too much time playing video games and talking to people online.)

Real conversation.
Seriously dood? did you really need to launch into that rant against JRPG's and fans of the genre. Isn't that just a little bit immature? Do we really have to throw insults at someone for having slightly different interests than you. I realize that the "conversation" is contains a good deal of sarcasm, but there was really no need to be so condesending.

On Topic: The stupidest reason i've heard to shoot down a game, was when one of my firends refused to try playing knights of the old republic because turn based combat was in his words "lame", dispite the fact that he greatly enjoyed Paper Mario.

even though i own both xbox 360 and playstation 3
i am going to buy the clearly inferior xbox 360 copy the game 2 to spite sony because they are money grubbing assholes and microsoft are saints responsible for everything ever that is good and brilliant
aka the console "wars"
payed internet?.. srry but i think Microsoft are the ones who grub money. i used to own a Xbox, and now a ps3, and the Xbox controlls better, but The ps3 has better support (free support)

anyway i'll go with graphics and "the MW2 is awesome, and anything not like it is shit" term

*edit* God Damnit i just fed a troll
no actually that was sarcasm >.>
and wasn't that good of a reason, though i stick by it
i still did :3, but who's the troll ? :3

As for those bashing on Guitar Hero and Rock Band's fakeness, I hope the new Rock Band game shuts those critics up.

"The graphics suck so I won't play it"

Just....so much wrong with that statement.

EDIT: Also, there is one friend of mine who refuses to like any games that weren't up to Yahtzee's golden standard, to the point where he will say they are shit without even watching gameplay videos.

Your friend sounds like he needs to be taken out into a field and given the Old Yeller special for the good of civilization.

I had a friend who actually refused to buy Red Dead Redemption because the reticule is just a dot. We all made fun of him for a while and eventually he admitted he was being stupid.

Because the main character experienced no great emotional and character changing arc, they remained static and the story felt like little more than an excuse to have the main character perform overly generic combat in generic environments.
Also, the control scheme was incredibly unintuitive, the buttons were overlapped requiring holding one button while pressing another while there were three buttons that had no action at all!
At times, the game just took itself away from you and played through the mission the right way if you died too much, which you will, because of the controls and disinterest.

I mean, come on, how shallow can you get!

Anyone who said the art design puts them off...and that covers about 95% of the FF9 haters.

For not being big enough in size. That's right, my friend claims a game's space is mostly graphics hence the smaller, the worse the graphics are.

Morrowind jumping FTW!

No, seriously, it's about 107 (Marara's Ring)!
