I'm a troll when it comes to talking to immature fanboys, but normally I'm the "Golden Age" type of dude.
Nah, I excluded the people who just say what they dislike about a game. In a proffesional and non snarky manner and then move on. The haters I described were all ones who have in some way been loud and obnoxious.Kieran Villoth said:So, if you dislike anything you're a hater? I agree! Because opinions don't exist, and people just try to act cool.
I'm not a hater, I've got my opinions but they're humble. I know that not everyone likes the things I do and that people like a lot of things I don't.ToastiestZombie said:**snip**
Im not really talking about them just not playing the multiplayer of games, but when that affects their opinion of the game they give to people it becomes hate. Because with games like BF3 and MW3 the multiplayer is the main part and it seems quite hypocritical to not even play the main part of the game then call the game bad because you played the wrong part.Psycho Goose said:Question for OP: What games do you dislike, and does your disliking of them make you a hater?
Also, I'm a little peeved at one thing in this list I haven't seen anyone bring up yet (forgive me if I missed your post): the idea that refusing to play multiplayer games makes you a hater. I mean, I personally love a little TF2 or Smash every now and then, but if single player is your thing, then it's your thing. Not liking to play football because I'm not into competitive sports doesn't make me a hater, so why would not liking to play Starcraft for the same reasons?
Your grouping of the above with the artsy-fartsy pretentious bastards makes sense, though. TF2 is more of an electronic sport than it is an art. Doesn't stop me from enjoying it, but sometimes a guy's gotta have his deep philosophy and critical social commentary. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to play some Mario.
