Stupidest reason to shoot down a game

I don't think: "Because it's on the wii" is a bad reason to shoot down some games.
For example, I can be pretty sure that just about every FPS or sword based game on the wii will suck.

Now what you say is true, it makes life easier to see someone elses experiences, and opinions and determine whether you'll be getting your moneys worth, but your experience and his will not always be the same. example; I have a friend who does have enough time and money to buy essentially every game including so-called shitty ones, but when I ask him what he thinks of them the reply is always the same: "it gives me orgasms" or some variation.
I hate it when people rail on a game because it's not polished to a mirror sheen and is kind of rough around the edges, especially when it's something really fresh and imaginative that had to be done on a bit of a lower budget than triple A american titles.
It's popular, so it sucks. Yes, I understand not all popular things are great, but sometimes things are popular because they're good at something. Judge it for yourself, don't hate it because it's cool to hate the popular crowd.
Graphics rank pretty high on the worst reasons to judge a game. I know people who avoid perfectly good games just because of graphics.
It's makes my blood boil. Especially if they favour the lastest f#cking Halo game over it.
The whole "Xbox exclusive game? Bah, it'll be crap" is mostly said by people who, obviously, don't have an Xbox. I suffer from this.
It's because it isn't released on the computer and us computer gamers can't play it. Instead of saying "damn, that really sucks for me" or contemplating bying an Xbox (which I'll never do - controllers and I don't mix), we tell ourselves the game will be crap so we don't feel like we're missing out on anything.

I have a new one:-
"It's too over the top"
This is whilst we're discussing Portal...which is quite a simplistic game if you compare it to a lot of games nowadays.
This same person also said that the Ratchet & Clank games were "for 3-year-olds who hadn't developed motor skills"...twat...

I'm very shallow then. It doesn't have to have wonderful graphics, but it can't be too blocky.RicoADF said:
My stupid reason is usually the art style. I've played a lot of games that were "good" but the art style just turned me off. FF9 and Dragonquest 8 are two of my more notable ones. I also drop a game faster than a sack of wet rocks if I don't like the appearance of the main characters. Star Ocean 4 fit that bill.. other than the game sucking on it's own merits, having to star at Edge in his retarded orange and white pseudo space armor for 40+hrs was gonna be agonizing.
The reason I find most confusing for dropping a game is graphics (which I realize saying I do it cause of art style is somewhat hypocritical). I guess if you've been spoiled by fancy latest gen stuff, getting on a game with sprites or lower resolution may make it seem "ugly." But, more often than not, those sprite based games slashed their graphics budget to make a really compelling game (see almost anything Nippon Ichi Software puts out). Graphics are the lowest common denominator and games that put all their focus into that * and have really shitty gameplay *cough* Final Fantasy 13 *cough think the buyer is only interested in the bright lights and colors.

Yes, a game being on the wii is a good reason to shoot it down.
The better wii games don't use the shitty motion control.
Metroid was alright, but the controls were still hard to use.
Having a game on the wii eliminates the entire fps genre, i honestly think it can't be done.

Siants Row 2: "The story sucks and it isn't as realistic as GTA IV"
He hadn't ever even seen the game.

I'd pay to see you do that. I demand you yell "NOM NOM NOM!" as you do it.blinkgun96 said:
A lot of people usually compare any shooter to Halo or Call of Duty, shooting down all of them. I usually like to ask people to play a game first before judging it. Of course, a lot of people in this world didn't deserve to be the fastest swimmer.
"It looks childish" has to be one I get fairly annoyed at. Just because a game has pretty bright colours doesn't mean it won't be fun and (heaven forbid) actually a good game.
I also had a friend that wouldn't play Morrowind at first because he hated the combat system (he's ok with playing it now strangely), whereas I personally think that it adds to the feel of the game. That's just how I see it though, not really a stupid reason to hate it I guess.
