I agree with this to a point, most gamers aren't like this, but there always seems to be a very vocal, hipster crowd that will make up their mind about a game before they've even played it.JC Denton said:

If a game is said to be good, people will most likely be looking up to it - so if it's bad, they'll be dissapointed.
-Pessimists usualy are not dissapointed, so if they think something is bad and it turns out to be bad, then they've lost nothing.

Well you have to understand that not every one can play ever game that comes out. So, or at least I hope this is true, people will try to limit themselves to only playing the games that seem like the most fun for them initially. And then only adventuring out of their comfort zone if they have the extra time and money.birdbrain18 said:
Thus I am not going to play Beijing 2008 when I could go and play Killzone 2.
A perfect example of this would be how 50cent, blood on the sand, recently came out, and it was generally considered a 7/10. Most people were highly impressed. But if a game like GTA gets a 7/10, people are appalled, because they were expecting it to be better.
Nr 1. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever,he-ever, listen to critics, ever. They lie.
Nr 2. Try not to get your hopes up about anything, you're bound to get disappointed.
Nr 3. If you're expecting everything to be crap you're more likely to be pleasantly surprised than disappointed.
Yahtzee may ramble a lot, but sometimes he's got a valid point.

Above is the original post, below is the corrected version.birdbrain18 said:
Does anyone ever notice how we never complain about how crap games are crap? Yet we complain about how the AI is dumb and the story was probably written by a 1st grader on a game that might still be good but will get blacklisted by the gaming community (see halo3). We can have big discussions about how GTA IV sucked because it wasn't as funny but we never talk about how the new Dora the Explorer game wasn't any good.
Discuss.
First of all, if you wish to sway people to an point of view that you have you need to at least make an attempt to appear intelligent yourself. On that note, most browsers have spell check of some kind, and if not at least take the time to just paste it into mircosoft word or some other text editor. Also, you never need to tell people to 'discus' as we all have the good sense to know that this is forum and therefore a natural area in which to 'discus.'
Try harder next time, or at least try.

In response to your first point, I wasn't talking about halo having a bad story or dumb AI, I was just giving examples of things that people complain about. And when I said Halo, I was just talking about a game that a lot of people hate but is still a good game.
For your second point......I guess I'm just not all that bright
Well if you think something is bad won't you be less likely to do it compared to if you've never done it before with no opinion of it prior?
Meaning you can't really talk about games that are bad becuase you've never played them(or not for long...) but games you thought were/are good/decent you have played at which point faults can appear. So I think it would be a little hard to rightfully talk about something you've never seen/played before.

Why would we be talking about dora the explorer? If a game is going to be bad we dont care, if a game looks like it may be jesus in video game format and it fails we then talk about it.
