Graphics, the number one stupidest reason of all time would be graphics. Who honestly gives a shit. If the game is bad, then it is the story, or mechanics, or it isn't your genre, but it should never be graphics. They don't affect a game at all, not even a little bit. A game's story or mechanics won't be skewed just because the graphics are terrible or something.

graphics obviously

but i would like to take the time to defend an average game that got a lot of criticism "Darksiders" YES it is God of War's story mixed with LoZ's game play with WoW's graphics. But to call it a bad game because of that is just wrong. The game play was good and entertaining, it was fun in a primitive way to wail on the enemy with no combos. plus the story and few bits of symbolism were interesting. sure its not original but because it rips off everything else you still get a really fun game, what im trying to get across is its bad to call a game bad because it rips off multiple success is stupid. besides if we did every game would be labeled bad because every game does borrow from other another.

People who shoot down science-fiction shooters in favor in of CoD because "REAL bullets and REAL grenades are more manly than gay gamma rays and shit!" and sci-fi games are "unrealistic" yeah I'm sure Call of Duty is no doubt the most realistic war experience you could get I mean I can totally see someone hip-firing two P-90s.

I traded Knights in the Knightmare for Phantom Hourglass because I found the tutorial to be too long. Sweet mother of all facepalms. What the hell was I thinking?! Arghhh..

I have yet to get another copy, buying obscure and bargain bin games has ruined me on paying more than 15$ for a game. "Oh, Knights is down to 19.99.. It'll come down more."

Not that I've ever shot down a game for this reason, but I think it would be a stupid reason to do so: You don't like how the boss's henchmen were designed.

"Because it's from Japan."

Even though I use it quite often, I do realize it's a stupid reason.

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.
The reviews were bad

Send me a pic of your half-eaten chair

The reviewers said Alpha Protocol was terrible because of its glaring bugs. So grab a fork and knife and dig into that chair of yours.
Should of kept reading go back to page 1 friend.

Also I hope the tone was alot more friendly than which I am envisioning cause otherwise *draws machete*
You're the guy with the sword, by the way.
But seriously, I didn't mean anything by it. And yes, it was meant to be friendly.

My friend who is normally a rational individual and dedicated gamer continues to rage against Mass Effect 2 for control issues on the EMAIL SCREEN. He insists that even with his elementary coding ability he could improve on it in the space of a few minutes.

F--k off.

I play games to get away from reality.
Yeah i don't understand that either, I want to do something in a game that i can't do in real life...you know like
Making Something to eat, going to the bathroom, running on a treadmill, talking on the phone, taking a carpool to work eventhough i have enough money to buy my own car, or the worst...watching a video game character play a video game......
Somebody's been playing the Sims, I take it?

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...
Dr. Nefarious: "LAWRENCE! Inform this squishie's fool of a 'friend', that enjoying my antics has no bearing on how good one's motor skills are!"
Lawrence: "Right away, sir..."

It has elves in it, while this has never happened, the opposite is close that my friend refuses to make anything but a night elf in wow.

Its cel-shaded, but not cel-shaded like the previous game that was cel-shaded. This cel-shading is inferior and doesn't know what it wants to be.
