Stupidest reason to shoot down a game

[InnerRebellion]

"It lacks teh multehplayah" or
"It's not like MW2, so it is gay".

Yeah because everyone is always sucking up to MW2. Your such a rebel for being one of those few people who hate on that game.

Oh, shall I clarify? I don't like the FPS genre, but I have no problem with it. I just get annoyed when that is the auto-response I get from a few peers of mine when I suggest a game. Don't go assuming things.

Wow, my apologies. I didn't realize your peers had some idiotic reason to shoot a game down, clearly your better educated for avoiding an entire genre altogether.
Thank you for classifying, i was scratching my head completely bewildered by your post. I was about to consult my old professor and everything until i read your post. So enlightening.

Where did I say I am better educated? I merely said I do not like the genre BUT I can put up with it, until that reason is brought out as the only reason to not play the game. I can see why people like the game, and I know not everyone in the whole gaming community play and praise it, but a few of the gamers I associate with in my personal life do love the game enough to shoot down everything that is not MW2, or a similar FPS.

Here's a nutsy thought, maybe they're into FPS games and they don't realize there is a word for games like that.
Maybe not everyone talks about games in these little subgenre terms like the rest of us do. Maybe to some group of people, games are just these silly little things they do when they're bored or lazy or something, and not something that's meant to be discussed like it's some world changing thing.
Or maybe we are really one entity experiencing life through separate sensory perceptions.

Did you not realize I said my friends are gamers, and that I'm fine with them liking FPS games? My point is, it's STUPID to shoot down a game because it is not MW2. It's like an avid RPG player shooting down Magical Starsign because "it has aliens using magic" or because "it's not like Oblivion/Morrowind." I repeat, I am fine with a few of my peers preferring the FPS genre, I just do not like them shooting down any non-FPS/MW2-esque game instantly.

and what if they only enjoy FPS games and after all of their years on planet earth they know that is the only type of game they enjoy?
Isn't that a logical reason to not like any non FPS game? Should they act like they enjoy a game even if they don't?

You're not getting it, are you? I get that they enjoy FPS games, but what I dislike is they would play any game I showed them until MW2 came along, and now it's all they care to play, unless I say there is a gun involved (Prime example: Assassin's Creed 2). I'm staring to get a troll feel from your replies...but fine, continue to not understand my point.

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

yes, anyone who hates a boring on rails RPG must be another "hater" who is just hung up on the design.

I am just saying that to FF fans who say that and then say FF7 is better.I also play shooters like gears of war as well as bioshock and raceing games like burnout I'm not some rpg nut ok?

well a thousand pardons my majesty, I didn't realize you played games other than FF, that makes my post completely meaningless.
Sorry if I seem like an ass, but this whole thread seems like an excuse to blindly defend your favorite games. It's so passive aggressive that i thought i would join in.
Personally I despised FF7 because it simplified the entire idea of hating corporations yet it glorified it. It was like the gaming equivalent of an annoying liberal internet news show. Something that agreed with my view of the world yet dumbed it down for the idiotic mass audience. Never tried 9, I read in a review that the art design is very off putting.
Edit: mmmmm....putting.

Ya I'm one the same page with you about FF7.FF9 has a epic story but people just can't get over the art design and that is petty.The reason for this is the FF7 fans who would not know a good jrpg if it hit them in the face.

unless a popular gaming site told them what it was.
Hence the sudden popularity of chrono trigger.

ya I have noted that a lot of "Gamers" are like that.Plus they some times need a score don't forget that.Ya but on topic I know people who said they never played FF9 due to art related problems.I just stare at them with that thousend mile stare at the shear mind set that makes them miss a good game till ten years later when a gaming mag tells them it's good.It is just a sad thing to see.

it's sad if you care what other people thing. Try to think of it this way, your one of the few people who enjoyed a paticular game because something scared the idiots away. When you find somebody to discus FF9 with, it will be a person who wasn't obsessed with flashy art style.

Yes it is a plus when it all comes down to it.So what do you think about people who hate a game for it's graphics?

 

[DeaconSawyer]

The one I have been getting way too often is: "It's too hard." Fuck that.

 

[Kenko]

While I agree that WII sucks. Graphics are far from whats important to a game. Gameplay always come first. Graphics can only enhance the experience by so much. Games that use graphics as a selling point are usually shallow and lame games, like Oblivion or Crysis.

 

[Traumaward313]

Stupidest reason for shooting down a game? Because it's good.


Most people can learn from that.

yeah anyone who doesn't take internet forums or games seriously must be a troll.

You completely disregard my reply just to make a comment on me getting a troll feel from this? Are you...nevermind. End of discussion.

Can't say iv'e ever talked to people who hated a game based on graphics. Whenever graphics are called into question, they are usually talking about a game that's horrible for several other reasons (like the last soldier of fortune game) but i think the debate is a little silly when so many people fail to realize that graphics are not so much about looking real but about visuals. Like i said before, mario is a game with great graphics IMO because they were creative and colorful yet they fit into the universe. I like a few games with "realistic" graphics like GTA 4 but i usually prefer something I can't see in the real world. A game that plays with light and shadows or colors (am I the only one who wants to see a game that plays with the concept of aura seeing?)

Hmm sounds fun but ya I know some people who say graphics are about 75% of a game but I think not.

Honestly I think they are. At least they are now. Look at any game today, even the ones you enjoy, and imagine the images and sprites (or whatever they call the 3d version of sprites, models right?) were replaces by completely nonsensical things.
Even with older games, imagine if sonic was just a blurry red mouse and the world was filled with basic shapes and lines. No colors, no cartoon animals and robots. Suddenly the game play of any game seems simplistic and pointless. Graphics create the atmosphere, and game play without atmosphere is usually forgotten.

I still think they are a good thing but you have to keep in mind that you can't blow all the money on graphics and then skimp on the story and game play good case for this is FF13.
