Stupidest reason to shoot down a game

[Dualnames]

"Wii sucks"
"Ever played on a Wii?"
"No."

Singlest stupid answer ever. But well what can be said anyway? Some people just don't like certain things.

 

[Rayansaki]

"The reviewers said it was terrible"

I swear if I hear that one more time I'll eat this chair.

EDIT: apparently I have to clarify, I dont like it when I say: "I want buy [insert game of choice here]" and a certain friend of mine replies that such and such said the game was shite.

That complements the "The reviewers said it was awesome" stupidest reason to buy a game I have a friend that uses this all the time when I'm trying to browse for a game to buy and it pisses me off.

Morrowind: The movement speed is too slow.

...what? You get faster as you go along!

If you really want to go quickly, jump everywhere. That's what all the cool people do

To be perfectly honest, that's one of the reasons I hate GTA4.

 

[Eggsnham]

When people don't play the game for more than five minutes and decide that they don't like it without any valid reasons.

 

[The Austin]

Person: (X game) is going to suck
Me: Why?
Person: Because it isn't Modern Warfare 2

I mean, SERIOUSLY?

THANK YOU!

I hate people who don't get that there are games out there much better than Modern Warfare!

NOT EVERY GAME IS AN FPS ABOUT THE TALIBAN!

"It's unrealistic"

F--k off.

I play games to get away from reality.

Depends what your standards are for realism.....like physics.....or how it handles........or in an other sense......trolls and goblins making bannana nut muffin marines that slay tellie tubbies..........idc abt the second option but if the game handles like crap....and its "new" i wont have a large paitence for it

 

[CrashBang]

Usually because it's on the system which the person doesn't own
E.g. "It's a PS3 exclusive? Pfft, it's gonna fuckin' suck monkey tits!"

Why? Just why?!

 

[teh_gunslinger]

I had a whole snarky post planned about XCOM and then I realised that it just makes me depressed and I gave awesome reasons. I can't sum up the energy to savage it. *sigh*

 

[Et3rnalLegend64]

Well, I can't add much more. Everyone summed up all the stupid people I met already. "It's on the Wii. Graphics suck. Not enough blood." etc

Any of that.

Two examples:
I have a friend who did not like COD4 because it wasn't realistic enough.

I have another friend that only plays video games for the simulation.

I hate when people do that. Just cause a game doesn't have "gritty realism" or "life like graphics", they won't touch it. As long as the games fun why does it matter?

 

[JRShield]

"I don't like this game cause it looks like an other game I played"

Yeah, with 10.000+ games in existence you are bound to have similarities with another game.

 

[Claptrap]

..Hes your freind?

But anyway someone on steam told me this yesterday

Guy: Counter strike sucks
Me: Why?
Guy: because mw2 is better
Me: Counter strike is an old game, Mw2 is a new game.. What do you expect?
Guy: my money back

.. I quickly facepalmed and blocked him.

Yeah, a much better approach is to buy every single game ever made, and judge for ourselves.

Oh wait, I'm not a billionaire, and I don't have infinite amounts of time.

Guess I'll listen to reviews I trust and DECIDE WHICH GAMES TO INVEST TIME AND MONEY INTO BASED ON THEM

This.

Just this.

Seriously

 

[Cid Silverwing]

Direct response to OP: Your friend is a fucking retard for using graphics to justify rating a game (not berating the Wii though, that was well-deserved).

It's immature to criticize a game for trying to not associate with the bastard moneymilk titles that are Halo and its mutated offspring.

Huzzah, I'm cool!

My brother hates Morrowind because 'Oblivion looks better and it has a better game world'.
The second point is raw bullshit.

Morrowind's a strange game. It ages horribly like goldeneye, and you can only really have fun with it if you can be trusted with a complete cheat toolset and are willing to play by rules you have to set yourself. Oblivion has this to some extent, but not nearly as obviously.

I don't totally agree with that, I think in some cases realism is good, and in some cases it's bad.

When you know a game isn't trying to be realistic it's fine, but when you get a game like Modern Warfare 2, where you can tell it wants to be realistic, but then every so often it pulls some total bullshit, it can be a bit annoying.
