Stupidest reason to shoot down a game

[shadyh8er]

I hate it when my bro does this. He shot down Left 4 Dead just because he didn't like the graphics. He only played it for 5 mins and didn't even give himself enough time to get used to the controls. On the flipside, he wants to try out Street Fighter 4 because "the graphics are pretty good!" I think it's because he plays Tekken 6 (one of the best looking games out there) too much and expects all other games to live up to its standard.

"It doesnt have online multiplayer."

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.

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?

I have, several times. How are my posts any less important than any other post on this site?
It's all pointless crap. You can't take any of these idiotic games with you when you die. Your just distracting yourself until it happens.

I know that, and yeah, distracting myself is entertaining.
Also, you mad?

I was just having fun, seemed like you were taking it pretty seriously though.
Why, you sad?

*Tears*
YES!
LET'S REJOICE WITH A HUG!

Here are some of the...more idiotic statements I've heard people make:
*Shadow of the Colossus: The whole game is just a boss rush mode? Pass.
*Saint's Row 2: It's just another GTA clone.
*Skies of Arcadia: Oh, *another* JRPG with a teenage main character...
*inFamous: So it's like Prototype, but you can't jump-kick any Helicopters? Pass.

...All of this, from a former clan-mate whom I haven't seen playing any other games besides Modern Warfare 2 and Tekken 6 in months. I won't say he has no taste in games...but I can't say I like how easily he wrote off those four above...

Me and The Prophet on here (he also runs the TF2 Event group, partially. On Steam) are constantly fighting over what games are good and bad.

(About FPS) it sucks. It's too much/not enough like MW2. Especially if it came out before MW2

Rockband/Guitar hero is ruin music. It's not real insturments. Yea ? Well Call of Duty isn real war. Madden isn't really football (your not actually playing it. Not critizising gameplay). Why does music have such an inflated head ?

"Its not realistic enough". Don't get me wrong. I prefer most games grounded in reality (I enjoy my Gears Of War but I like something close to reality) but if you actualy want to play a "realistic" form of war. I hope you enjoy dealing with emotional duress. Dealing with the many disorders that come from many different events you encounter. Getting hurt after getting shot and possibly losing limbs, then dealing with it the rest of your life. Point is. War ain't fun. Don't act like it is.

The AI sucks. Sometimes it does. But every game that doesn't have superhuman AI will have the odd person slamming the AI. Do they not realize we have the technology to do what we do right now ? It's like slamming on time travel because you can only visit the medieval age. The game cannput up a fight against you ! I'm on my Ipad right now and I'm still crapping myself over the fact that I have a machine capable of accessing the Internet that is smaller than a backpack. I'm amazed by what we have. Yet people want their AI to be able to deduce what the players favorite food is by what gun they select in Halo.

Anywho, the stupidest reason I've heard from someone is that a game isn't good if its on the PC, he disappointed me into a week long coma. Its fine if you don't like the PC but how can you say the PC isn't an appropriate playform for games in general, gah.

Have the same scenario, once when I talked to some people from music class and talking to someone I have known since kindergarden I let it slip that Call of Duty 4 was one of my favourite games and he agreed that it sure was a solid game. Though when I continued to say that I play on the PC he started to vent that the Xbox version was glorious and the PC version was utter and complete shit. "Why?" I ask, which he response: Because I get owned while I play on the PC. PC sucks!

Asshole in kindergarden. Asshole in High School. Figures, I guess.

I myself used to do the same thing but in reverse i.e. reject every shooter that is on the console since you can't aim for shit. Though after a long summer of borrowed console I've been forced, unhappily of course, to change perspective and confess that you actually can aim shit with a controller.

I had a classmate who was befuddled at the idea to play - not to mention buy - games that are older than the current generation of consoles. He thought it silly to play games on the old Xbox or PS2, and when I asked him why he more or less just said "Because they're old", which quickly turned to "they've got bad graphics".
He dropped the subject when I likened it to seeing the original Terminator despite it being even older than said games, and there being newer, shinier sequels.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I think the console thing is a good one, actually. I mean, I don't own a 360 (personally) so I might struggle playing Halo: Reach when it comes out beyond frisbee.

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

"because all strategy games suck" really irritated me.

Saying the PS3 and its games are better then the 360 and its games because it "has more graphical power" is also one of the retarded arguments I have heard literally dozens of times.

 

[T-Bone24]

I've seen people say that they refuse to buy Enslaved: Odyssey to the West because they don't like that the main character's name is Monkey. Despite the fact that it's based ON A 400 YEAR OLD NOVEL WITH THE SAME NAME! ARAGAHE TJAEJf g!

 

[DragonChi]

stupidest reason?...maybe cause the box cover art sucks.

granted, i have never heard of anyone shooting down a game cause the box art sucks..but..im sure someone out there has....at LEAST one.

 

[ICanBreakTheseCuffs]

saying that is stoll from something ten years ago....that wasn't even a GAME!

 

[AwesomeFerret]

Saying its on the Wii. I hate it when people say its all down to the Wii and it not being realistic, or not having enought graphical power. I'm getting a PS3 soon, so I'm going to do some under cover research, for years my only console has been a Wii and a PS2 (not counting hand-helds).

Funny story on that. When Mass Effect 2 was about to come out, a couple of my friends and I could hardly wait. Another guy I know saw the box cover art, and claimed that mass Effect 2 was gonna suck since the cover art was meh, in all seriousness. He's an idiot.

 

[Shjade]

Your stupid reasons?

The box art sucks.

Others have said it already, but really, I can't think of a worse reason to diss a game.

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

IGN knock down games for the most retarded reason ever.

"It doesn't have online co-op."

I don't know that many people that play online co-op.
They knocked down Scott Pilgrim vs. The World because of that reason. Four people shouting down a mic. doesn't seem like a good idea to me IGN. ¬_¬

 

[Ih8pkmn]

Them:Valve sucks.
Me: but they made Left 4 Dead!
Them: only good thing about them.

This was an actual conversation I had with someone. I wanted to break them so hard. they need to have a portal gun shoot a portal in their mouth and in their toilet so they can eat their own shit.


I hate when people discriminate by developer almost as much as I hate... well, look at my profile picture.

Edit: It copied off Halo.

HALO WASN'T EVEN ORIGINAL!!!


and, Lastly...

"The Graphics suck. Look at how unrealistic it is. I mean, his nose doesn't even have hair! WTF THIS GAME SUCKS RAWR."

I imagine someone, somewhere, has said something to this degree. If so, they need themselves pushed into the uncanny valley.

 

[Ophi]

I've once talked to somebody who refused to play Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn because,

"It's too hard, and games that make you think don't belong on the Wii."

Whaaaaaat.
