What gives you fanboy rage?

[Erttheking]

Ackerson? Isn't he the person that tried to KILL Chief to make himself look good and Halsey bad? You know, wipe out one of mankind's best hopes? And did Traviss forget that Ackerson had his own SPARTAN project? DId she forget about the SPARTAN IIIs? They were literally sent to die in hundreds on their very first mission, Halsey trained her SPARTANs to live and SHE'S THE BAD GUY!?

And yeah that explanation is still pretty terrible, why don't they just give guns to the Brutes while they're at it?

Excellent! You understand everything. And since Brutes are working with the Elite insurrection they get the guns, too.

Mendez actually talked about that and said since it was volunteer only, it was okay. Glasslands is actually part-continuation of Ghosts of Onyx so it has IIIs in it.

So let me get this straight, Karen Traviss thinks that child soldiers are ok as long as they volunteer...even if they're being sent to their certain deaths...ugh, I hate this woman. And, I was willing to buy that some of the Elites would want to stick to the path of the Covenant, because let's face it you don't drop 3,000 years of tradition overnight, but they're working with Brutes? The Elites HATE the brutes! Even when they were part of the Covenant they HATED the Brutes, and then they stabbed them in the back and now they're working with them!? Why does Karen Traviss ruin everything she touches? Every time she writes about something, she picks a small group, goes on about how awesome they are and how everyone who disagrees with them is an idiot! I've come to expect that from half assed fan fics and she's getting PAID to write this stuff?

World of Warcraft. How it wow used to be good then got ruined, i hate people saying it was always shit. Anyone who hasnt played it or started playing in the last three years knows nothing about wow or BC, and i refuse to listen to there stupid stuipdness

TBC was horrible and vanilla was as well. The only good expansion pack was Wotlk.

The only thing I got true fanboy rage over is when someone said Tera's combat or Secret World's combat was more fluid then Guild Wars 2's combat. I raged so hard.

Tera, first of all locks you into predetermined animations that you can roll out of or combo into others, but it will still LOCK you in place. For Guild Wars 2, you can move while doing most if not all of the skills. Need to circle strafe then roll away towards people for safety? You can do that. And the Secret World guy I believed to be a troll, but thats a different story.

Oh yeah and the constant ponies on TF2. I swear to god I saw several sprays of people raping those poor-ass ponies. Well that and the fact that their bloody everywhere and don't shut up about it. Hell I am wearing several signs that says "I suck dick" but at least I don't yell it at people constantly.

Well, from what I heard Glasslands is supposed to bridge Halo 3 and Halo 4 so what is in it will probably have heavy influence on the events of the new trilogy, oh and speaking of trilogies grasslands is itself the first book in a trilogy, all of them written by traviss............

ah..well at least those are books and not the actual games...

I mean at least Bioware admitted they fucked up when they handed the pen over to somone who didn't know the lore basics <-and no, that doesnt make me an obsessive fan because I'm pretty sure you'd be annpyed if somone wrote a book set in our world where the sky was green and grass was blue

If that error ever occurred, it could be fixed by it turning out to be DBZ's Namek!

OT: From the sounds of it, that Glasslands thing sounds like it'll make me flip tables.

Not something that enrages me, but more utterly confuses: People read a really great book, and then write terrible fan fiction. You can spot bad prose from a mile off. It's just amazing how people can read an awesome book and not absorb any idea of what a good writing style is.

Edit: They seem to fall under the Stephanie Meyer (and associates) rule of "adjectives! Excessive and indiscriminate adjectives!"

How much did you play? and when did you play?

Spoiler: infamous 2 spoilers

When people say Cole Macgrath is dead. First off, in the good ending you can see the last lightning strike hit the coffin. Second, KESSLER! He was from the future proving Cole lived on!

 

[kortin]

How much did you play? and when did you play?

Since the start all the way up to 4.2

Vanilla was fun, but it was horribly designed. 40 man raids sound good on paper, but in practice they were complete clusterfucks.

TBC was a pile of shit. The raiding was horrible, the pvp was horrible. The questing was meh AT BEST. The only good thing about TBC was the aesthetic design.

This woman sounds like the only way to force the idea of realistically portraying multiple factions of characters would be to beat her to death with a copy of A Game of Thrones.

I accept that as your informed opinion, I loved it.
I enjoyed how it for the bad as well as the good, the raids was fun for me and my friends, and i knew who i was playing with, and what the story was leading too.

Never read the book I believe from. From what I heard one of the better written Star Wars books would be a good choice too. Heck, not to toot my own horn, but I managed to write a multi faction based story better than her.

In this fic there's the UNSC which peacefully annexes the Quarians, the post Halo 3 Sangheili power, the Council, the new Jiralhanae Empire which cures the Genophage and allies themselves with the Krogan along with the Batarians and the Heretic Geth, and a Jiralhanae resistance movement, and they all get time for character development...ok I kind of ignore the Council but at least I don't demonize them.

Not really a big fan fic person, but how could the Brutes cure the genophage? Without the Covenant, I'm pretty sure they're even more barbaric than the Krogans.

AARRGHH
Master chief has a new armour set in Halo 4, WHERE DID HE GET IT? HE WAS IN CRYO SLEEP!! DID HE MAKE IT WIV HIS LITTLE TOOL BOX IT OR SOMETHING?

ME3's ending still sucks as I cannot get and ending I want in an rpg.

Pokemon Y U NO have interesting characters? / Plot? / do something new?

Ubisoft basing the AC games in fucking shit time periods like Renaissance's Italy and Revolution America, WHY NOT BASE IT IN EGYPT OR FEUDAL JAPAN OR SOMEWHERE INTERESTING?

The found Mordin's assistant and...convinced him to help them. Also I take a different spin on the Brutes in this story. After the Human-Covenant war they descended into a brutal civil war, but a Jiralhanae named Tritus formed his own private army and conquered all the other factions, uniting the Jiralhanae under his rule 40K style. The Empire made some leaps and bounds under his rule and they became much more civilized, but Tritus was still paranoid and wanted to conquer the entire galaxy to prevent his people from becoming attacked. So he cured the Krogan, allied himself with the Batarians and the heteric Geth and declared war on the rest of the Galaxy. Basically I was trying to flesh out the Jiralhanae as villains and trying to make them more three dimensional than "they go to war because they think it's fun" Also his brother started a rebellion to stop him.

Have some meta:

In any of my fandoms, I rage about fanboys/fangirls who rage over certain decisions by the creators/current IP owners, despite the fact that they don't know all the facts nor own the property. This does not mean I don't dislike some of those decisions, but I am utterly ashamed of other members of my fandoms who can't seem to keep things in perspective.

A few brief examples,

Spoiler: The Derpy Hooves fiasco

It made me happy in "The Last Roundup" when Derpy talked. It was acknowledgement by the creators of FiM that bronies mattered to them. When I heard about the iTunes edit, I didn't care that much. It was stupid in my mind, and the audio quality of the redub made me think it was fake at first, but I didn't feel anything other than mild disappointment. The other bronies, however, went stark raving mad over it. This was the beginning of a series of fandom rage fits that led to my deciding not to call myself a brony so I wouldn't be lumped with those fanatical hypocrites.

Spoiler: The Mass Effect 3 ending

When the game came out, my Xbox was broken and I wasn't going to pay full price for any game, even though I love the series. When gamers everywhere started moaning about the ending, I really hated them because of how close they came to ruining the game for me by way of spoilers. Having finished the game yesterday, I can say that I can't imagine what the ending would have been like without the extended cut, but even so, every part before the ending makes Mass Effect 3 the best damn game I've ever played. The combat was challenging and intense without being tedious (like ME1) or frustrating (ME2). Seemingly minor decisions from earlier games made a noticeable impact on events (who would have guessed that Conrad had a doctorate?). The story was well-paced and the side-missions didn't feel like a chore. Overall, I am sorely disappointed in the gamers who complained without really considering anything but the ending.

Spoiler: The Star Wars prequels

Guys, it's been 13, 10, and 7 years. They're canon, get over it. The writing and acting is bad in all six movies, but the action sequences are the best you'll ever see in movies when you view them in theaters and you know it.

 

[mediarulestheworld]

I second Kingdom Hearts Final Mix releases. It's utterly ridiculous that Squeenix can't just release all of the cool, sometimes story important extra stuff in the International release. All it serves is making me pirate the games so I can actually experience them.

I thought Squeenix liked money. Why do they refuse to let me give it to them?

 

[Richard Irvine]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCRANHCLMvE I really like this AMV, its actually well done.

What causes me to fanboy rage is when Diehard fans of FFVII say its the best RPG to ever be created and that is it the best of any and all Final Fantasies without considering any of the other games. I get it, FFVII was a good game, yes, I understand.

But denying and calling other FF games shit because you're so blinded by FFVII is just retarded.

 

[trooper6]

Things that make me rage:

1) The ME3 ending haters. Especially that 10 plot hole video. If there is one thing I can't stand is really bad analysis, and the hating was based on really bad analysis. And when you try to engage in conversation, you get the "if you liked it, you aren't a real fan!" The entitled, whiny, poor analytical skills having ending people made me just crazy.

2) Replacing Mrs. Peel with Tara King in The Avengers. What was that?!

3) The film version of The Avengers with Uma Thurman. I just pretend it didn't happen.

4) The supremely irritating way they killed Tasha Yar in season 1 of Star Trek: TNG

5) The Dragon Age 2 haters. That was a great game!

 

[The_Waspman]

I get the rage when people draw / create images or write stories about characters from games and films, doing things that they'd never do. Yes I am talking about porn / erotica.

I am very much NOT a prude, sometimes I can be downright twisted, but when I see (plucking any old example out the air) pictures of Liara being fucked up the bum by Wrex while licking out Samara (as far as I know, no such image exists...thankfully!), I tend to get a little snarky! Even poses which would normally grace a porn-mag make me cross!

When it comes to characters like this (especially Liara!), nudity is fine but it has to be tasteful and relevant! She's not a prude either but neither is she a porn-model / actress! The same goes for pretty much every character in the franchise - even Jack, who isn't what you'd shy and virtuous! While I am on the subject, why dress certain characters like they are about to go for a swim? Diana Allers looks like she's on her way to a latex / rubber fetishist's club and Miranda, as lovely as her bottom is, looks like she owns it!

And don't get me started on those bloody bishoujo statues of Liara...I was scaring the Incredible Hulk when I first saw those!

There's nothing wrong with fantasy and I myself have drawn erotica featuring Liara but it was tasteful and always backed up with at least a paragraph so, in my mind at least, it's not just tasteless, mindless smut.

Dude! Rule 34 man, rule 34!

On Topic, not sure if it constitutes fanboy rage exactly, but when I reached volume 2 of Michael Turners Fathom a major part of me died. Granted, really cant blame the man himself due to the whole cancer thing, but moving from volume one - which contains some of the absolute finest comic book art I have ever seen - to volume two, which appears to be drawn by an infant who hasn't even picked up a pencil before...

It just... Its a fucking drag. The story at that point makes no fucking sense because - and I'm not fucking kidding here - you cant even tell moving from one panel to another whether you're looking at the same fucking characters, thats how wildly inconsistent the fucking drawing is. And whoever drew it cant draw fucking eyes to save his fucking life.

Ok, So volume 3 got a little better (at least that was drawn by someone who knew what the fuck they were doing), but by then the damage had already been done.

Ok, so I guess it does get me raging a bit...

 

[Carpachi]

AMVs. Any/all of them.

Good concepts and source material gone bad or used in bad ways. Examples include the most recent Speed Racer (although Royalton is still a joy) and the slow-motion slide-shows in 300 (Don't need to see every remotely-significant soldier killing a bad guy, it's a giant battle!).
