Stupidest reason to shoot down a game

[Johnny Cain]

Considering every graphics system not running on the patented Modern Warfare 'Brown-o-mat' shit and not worth two pennies.

Hey brown is realistic....at least I think it is at a time of war.

I always thought of it as a way for the game to project how unbelievably shit it is for a top shelf game. Not to mention the mind numbing boredom and unceasing fugliness.

so can you think of any "brown" shaded games besides COD, because I think that's the only one I've seen and MW 2 didn't seem very brownish.
Ever notice how complaining about cell shaded graphic style makes you an "idiot" but complaining about brown shaded graphic styles makes you "intellectual"?
And what's the deal with airplane bathrooms? Why do they need a mirror in there? Are people actually brushing their teeth in there?

Probably all those people who say guitar hero is "ruining music" because its "not the same as playing a real instrument."

This, what's ruining music is Guitar Hero players that think they can shred with 6 buttons, and a flippy paddley thingy.

Also Graphics, I don't like the main characters hat (seriously, I've heard this before).

It's a good thing you have each other to know what games are boring and what games are gaaaaaay. Otherwise you may have to play the games you enjoy individually, good thing everyone has the same opinion about games or things could get complicated.

Erm, I don't think you understand my context. I've told him about how great the game is, and that he should check it out. And he didn't buy it because of the box and screenshots. So he goes against my advice and buys a game I told him would get boring, because it "looked cool".

Exactly. Games that you like are "great" and he was wrong for not agreeing based on screenshots. It's not like certain people know what kind of games they enjoy just by looking at the screenshots, people just like the same thing. That's why reviews are so perfect, no smart person would ever dislike HL2 or TF2. And fable 2 is universally boring, not one person on the face of the earth has ever enjoyed that game and he is a silly kid for thinking he might.

Okay, look. I understand what you're saying, not everyone has the same interests and opinions. But this is the same friend that bought Mass Effect and 'Splosion Man based on my recommendation and loved both; and he had recommended Fallout 3 to me, which I adore now. So we respect each other's opinions, but what he did just set a new low.

Also, please stop picking apart everybody's posts, and actually add something meaningful to the conversation.

some guyinsert multiplayer FPS game here) suck hard!

other story

him:this was just a bad shooter

me:why?

him: its is super unrealistic for a game that aims being a realistic shooter, i cant hit enemies at long range beause the gun starts moving upwards!

me: ever heard about recoil?

people seems to dont even know the world where they live in

Because it isn't "realistic" like MW2(lol), its graphics aren't good, and it has no online multiplayer.

Well for me saying it's on the Wii is a genuine reason to dislike a game as the motion control is just awful, Twilight Princess GC >>>>>>>> Twilight Princess Wii.

Twilight Princess WAS originally made for Gamecube.

And at the time you could get a Gamecube for $20 or $250 for a new Wii... I picked GC for practicality and also because it actually had a KICK ASS line-up of games.

Though I am starting to realise what a kick ass platform the Wii is and I really shouldn't worry about graphics (all console suck compared to PC graphics) and console are supposed to be for unique packaged experiences which the Wii excels at, PS3 & 360 just seem to be trying to do what PC is best at.

I hate it when people criticize a protagonist for not being manly (read: only speaks in one-liners, has huge muscles, and never shows emotion) enough.

I know, but that is still no excuse for a character like Raiden. He wasn't just unmanly, he was just annoying, un-confident, incompetent and unsure while being a passive-aggressive whiner half the time.

I don't want soulless meatheads, but I don't want whiny douchebags either. I mean I prefer Fenix to Raiden, at least Fenix is tolerable, boring but not annoying.

At the most basic level I want a character like Mario; affable, confident and determined yet relaxed and joyful. Or Nico Bellic, appropriately cynical yet cool and in control through wit and charm... the many people he meets he quickly makes friendships with, yet is assertive and aggressive against threats and enemies.

And that's if I want an actual protagonist with character at all, a blank slate is ideal for immersion or moulding to particular idea for RPGs.

Though I favour Valve's approach to characters in Team Fortress 2 - practically a pastiche of machismo mercenaries - and the two Left 4 Dead games with Whenon-esque characters that bond through fraternal banter, the aim is to be witty and fun, not "macho" and aggressive posing.

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.

Also, using your logic, I can say that Megaman 1,2,3,4,9 and 10 all suck because they are on the wii.

I think what he meant was pretty obvious.
So i guess we can't say virtua-boy sucks or we're also saying every mario tennis game sucks.

Not all Mario Tennis games are on the Virtua-Boy.

Not all megaman games are on the wii...is this so hard for you to understand?
Megaman on the PSP doesn't prove that all PSP games have great controls. Megaman games are pretty easy to port on to any modern day console.

I never said that all Megaman games are on the wii, whereas you did say that all Mario Tennis games are on the Virtua-Shit

"The main character is a woman. That's just silly."

said by... me. It wasn't honest though. Just didn't want them to know I don't have an x-box.

"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.

I am pretty guilty of not playing a "kiddy" looking game. I was watching my cousin play the new banjo and kazooie that i got for free with my 360 (i had to buy a new one, bet you can't guess why) and it looked like more fun than any of the games i just bought.

Well that's what happens when you attach wheels to your 360 and try to use it to jump over homeless people. Wait, you mean that's not what happened?

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?

You summed it up right there, people that think graphics are everything and don't care about the storyline or gameplay are shallow and need to learn theres more to life then shiny lights. Thats not to say graphics arnt apart of a good game, but at the end of the day its not the be all and end all.

I'm very shallow then. It doesn't have to have wonderful graphics, but it can't be too blocky.

I'm refering to people that only play top of the line graphics, the best of the best, and get games because they have the best graphics. Its like people that pick their partner based on looks, its shallow and as time goes on the looks lost their novelty.

 

[Marmooset]

Your stupid reasons?

Eh, there's no stupid reason to shoot down a game. They're games, fer chrissakes!

don't go all "french speaky" on me. This is America and I won't let some immigrant curse at me in some foreign gibberish.

Anything having to do with graphics.

If someone hates a game because of it's graphics and they aren't absolutely atrocious, punch them in the fucking throat.

I will as soon as you show me one meaningful post on this entire Forum, heck on this entire site.
Wow you both liked Mass effect and Splosion Man, that proves that he must secretly love Orange box and hate Fable 2, he just doesn't know it yet. This truly is a "new low"
Here's an idea, he was just agreeing with you before and he decided he want's to try the games he likes, not the ones you like. Wonder why he wouldn't say anything before? Well here you are posting about it online like it's "meaningful" because he chose a game you didn't like.

Okay, than add something to the discussion, are you fuckin' happy?
