Well, Crisis Core for the PsP was pretty good. The ending even got a couple of tears out of me.Eclpsedragon said:

Dude, we need a path with a female Hisao and Misha. I mean most of the Shizune story just got me more interested in Misha anyway.saintdane05 said:
When people don't know essential names in the film industry. Hitchcock, Kubrick, Coppola. And not even reckognizing some classics like Nosferatu, Modern Times, Citizen Kane and Casablanca.
I almost get violent. And with the increasing ignorance of the new generations, I bump into these kinds of people fairly often. It really, really grinds me.

Damn, I'm like that with a lot of things. Especially when it comes to games. I've got a lot of "friends" (I like them, most of the time) in school who sometimes just make me want to punch them. They think they're the most amazing gamer ever, who knows of every single game in the world. I said to them if they knew Kojima, Suda51 or even fucking Miyamoto and every time they went "Dunno, bet it's some stupid shit!".Vkmies said:
All I felt was rage.
I have the same, but less with games, because I think they are not yet pieces of common knowledge everyone should have.ToastiestZombie said:
The reason why I am like that more with movies is that most people I like to talk to say they like movies. Some even say they love movies. They talk about movies they like, they hate. The amount of rage I feel when a person like that doesn't know Kubrick or Hitchcock is something out of this world. I think AT LEAST those two people should be familiar to everyone over the age of like 12. Haven't stopped me from meeting people over 40 who don't know Kubrick, which baffles me. People who remember the massive amounts of news and controversy about Clockwork Orange or the massive amounts of media about his death. Drives me crazy.
I'm not a film buff, and I admit that. But even I know who the greats are. Mostly through Cinemassacre though. But I do know a lot. But yeah, people who openly say they know a lot about a subject and then when someone actually DOES come up and ask them about the subject they don't know about it. You aren't a film buff if you've never heard of Kubrick or Hitchcock. I wouldn't even consider someone one if they didn't know about Scorsese, Tarantino, the Coen brothers or Miyazaki.Vkmies said:
I really don't understand how people can get invested into fandoms to feel rage about changes and how the story progresses in a different way they intended. Fanboy rage is the most hysterical thing for me to watch/saddest. This was particularly evident after the first showing of DmC and watching all the fans flip tables.
Frankly I connect Fanboy rage with 'This is Why we can't have Nice Things', but then as I said I just don't get Fandoms or being that viscerally attached to somebody else's creation.

Oh thank Christ, someone who GETS it.King of Asgaard said:Totally agree.Leemaster777 said:So, we've all got things we love. Fandoms, as it was. But, in every fandom, there are things that we'd... rather not acknowledge. Bad sequels, bad prequels, bad adaptations, bad characters, bad stories, etc.
Basically, what is that ONE thing you hate about something you love?
Well, for me, I've got two that spring to mind. As much as I love Final Fantasy X, there is one aspect of it that makes my blood boil. I think all of you will probably see this coming:
Really don't want to go into an entire rant about this, but the short version is, this game makes me want to punt a kitten.
FF X-2 completely ruined the ending, which was poignant to the point of reducing me to tears, and proceeded to demolish everything that made FF X so good.
Let's go punt that kitten together, shall we?
See, I can deal with alot of stupid crap. I could deal with the fact that the game is a shameless cash-grab. I could deal with the fact that it relentlessly reuses FAR too many of the assets from the previous game. I could deal with the (in my mind, at least) lackluster combat. I could deal with the awful story. I could deal with the blatent fanservice. I could deal with the various other nitpicks and grievances I have for that game.
But what I simply CANNOT tolerate about the game is the way it goes out of it's way to remove all the emotion from the story, and more importantly, ending of X. The fact that it removes ALL ambiguity about the fate of Yuna and Tidus is infuriating.
There's a scene near the end of the game where Yuna goes into a speech about how they "Shouldn't have sacrificed the Aeons" during the last game. The whole thing just seems so "holier than thou", which is rather unlike Yuna. Plus, it ignores the fact that the Aeons WANTED TO BE SACRIFICED. You know, so they could finally REST after a millennia of dreaming?
Grr. But yes, let us punt kittens together. I'll grab my golf shoes.
I'm gonna go with the OP on the whole Derpy Hooves debate. Speaking as someone with Asperger's Syndrome (diagnosed by a doctor, thankyouverymuch, I'm not some self-entitled prick), I was never "offended" by her, in fact, I really liked her character - well the one the fans gave her, but that's not the point. People complained about the people complaining, but that's what got us into this mess in the first place! *SIGH*
Well, I?m pissed off that they?re doing a remake at all of the classic Schwarzenegger sci-fi film Total Recall, with Colin Farrell in the main role. There?s no fucking need, it?s going to be shit, and I want to squarely punch in the nose whoever came up with that bright idea.
The English dubs of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z that pretty much shit all over the original creation by Toriyama/Toei.
Censorship of various anime shows in general, because of prudish American culture around the topic of NUDITY and SEX.
Various games that are only released on Japan and not in Europe. Why won?t you let me play your wonderful games?
Console fanboys. ?Nuff said.
When my friend said, ?All fighting games are pretty much the same, and you can beat anyone just by button-mashing!?

Oh yeah another thing. I agree with vault101, people who think I'm an entitled crybaby because I didn't gobble up the Mass Effect 3 ending like a good little sheep makes me grind my teeth in rage. I'm very sorry that I have an opinion.
Well that fucking DMC reboot comes to mind.
People calling X as megaman frustrates me to say the least.
All those threads about HL's undeserved fame makes me cringe.
I also hate the whiners at TF2 who moans how F2P or hats ruined the game.
I fucking loath at the notion of dumbing down a formerly complex and respectable franchise for "WIDER CONSUMER APPEAL"(Take your fucking pick)
Also the word "entitled". Well excuse me for not expecting or accepting shit on a golden plate your highness.
