What is the most rediculous thing someone has said to you as a matter of fact about a video game...

[Eldritch Warlord]

another thing, which is more of a misconception; that the xbox 360 allows you to store music...lies, filthy bloody lies, just a little bitter

So I guess all the music I have on my 360 is just a hallucination?

You get to become a big daddy in bioshock haha

You do.

So many people have told me Pwned is suddenly pronounced "powned", ***** don't get me started.

"Halo is way better than Half-Life 2."

"It's Call of Duty 5, not Call Of Duty: World At War."


Fucking highschoolers.

What's wrong with highschoolers? I attend highschool, the Half-life series is much better than the Halo series, and COD "5" is definitely subtitled World at War, but it's much faster to say 5 than World at War or "WAW".

What's wrong with people who state opinions as facts? I for one who happen to own and have played all three Halo games and Half-Life 2 multiple times will attest that I enjoy Halo more.

As for pwned, since it is a misspelling of owned with the 'o' replaced by a 'p' does it not make sense to pronounce it as owned with a p or "powned"? If you ask me all the other pronunciations are just ungainly (such as puh-woned or pee-owned).

well the hole gears for ps3 and halo for ps3 and mgs 4 360 and so on

MGS 4 was published by Konami and not Sony so it is conceivable if unlikely, Halo or Gears for PS3 is just ridiculous since both were published by Microsoft.

"The PS3's chip still has untapped potential"

Never heard such a load of of marketing bollocks in all my life.

People could write more efficient code for it but it is true that developers are using all that is there.

Now for me:

The context is new Killzone 2 beta footage, the comment is: "halo sux". Really, and that was the first comment too.

"Half-life is boring"

"Pong was the first video game."

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on your police work, there, Lou.

Yep. Completely and utter bollocks that the system has more then 3 chips.

 

[GunnerGraye]

Has someone mentioned holding down "A+B" or some sort of varied combo in pokemon to increase the chance of catching them?

Dammit. I did that all the time when I was a kid. Wasted time.

 

[Johninator712]

Someone seriously said to me.

"Look out there's a zombie" while playing L4D...

Also I later said this to them (as a joke) which to then there response was

"WHERE???" I find this hilarious because where is never a question you ask in L4D. They are alwaaaays everywhere.

"What does Halo have to do with Xbox?"
"Were do I buy the bass guitar for Guitar Hero 3?"
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is a way better game than the movie for it"
"Valve are awesome, they have games like Half-life, Portal, and resident evil."
All said by a retard who won't go away at school and stays a half-inch away from me at ALL TIMES!

I know someone who once thought you could use Gamerscore points to buy things on the Xbox Live marketplace.

 

[MorganL4]

The Wii is selling on future potential. ( granted this came years ago when the wii was relatively new)

but in retrospect its quite amusing

 

[Berndawg69]

I know someone who once thought you could use Gamerscore points to buy things on the Xbox Live marketplace.

i thought thats how it worked when i first heard about it too, i thought achievement points were going to be used to buy things..... which isn't a bad idea when you think about it, you can still buy points, but achievements could add to it..... and then when you use your gamer score points achievements get taken away and you have to earn them again.... to ensure re playability, that would also help sell those awful games like TMNT where all you have to do is beat the game to get 1000 points

"only fags like pokemon".

I find myself agreeing with this one.

Ouch, my sexuality

Yay, my sexuality has yet to be challenged.

"The only Japanese game with a story that makes sense is Metal Slug"

I have half a mind wanting to agree with that one.
"GTA 3 was the first in the series."

Figure that out.

They can in mine.

"The wii could easily outperform the x360 graficaly but nintendo spends more time making quality games" - A classmate.

hmmmm, 729mhz vs 3x3.2ghz. If i'm extremely generous and round the first number up to 800, i still end up with the latter being 12 times more powerfull.

 

[szaleniec1000]

Forgot this classic:

"If you beat Tomb Raider on the hardest level without getting hit, you can get the code to see Lara Croft naked."

I must have heard dozens of variations on this one when I was at high school. If it wasn't beat the game on the highest level it was enter a code at a particular point, or go down a nonexistent hidden passage, or whatever else some joker pulled out of his arse.

people have said to me:
Majora's Mask is better than Ocarina of Time
You shouldn't play computer games
Sonic is better now it's 3D

Well, I greatly prefer MM to OoT.

Oh, and to everyone speaking of the A+B thing with catching Pokemon, it's not as false as it seems. People doing tool-assisted speedruns have found out that doing moves in exact frames and even pressing buttons during the execution of those actions can affect the RNG. They abuse this to get flawless critical hits, except of course where critical hits are unnecessary and a non-critical hit would be quicker .
tl;dr: pressing random buttons when doing stuff in Pokemon actually does have an effect. You'll just never be able to harness it without tool-assistance.

each to there own, i just don't see what you do. MM is a good game and there are aspects of it that are done better than in OoT but as a game generally, i much prefer OoT. how would you rate WW and TP compared to OoT and MM
