Dumbest Reason(s) for Hating a Game?

[Aerograt]

"I don't like Eve Online because nothing is happening"

Don't know if there's any truth in that, but it seems like a perfectly valid reason for hate, does it not?

Granted, the game's learning curve is stupidly high and I'm not a big fan of space ship combat myself, but saying nothing is happening in an MMO with a myraid of activities (edit: a bunch of it is unfortunetly mindless farming, but 0.0 sec combat where you're fighting over in game territories is a real treat) was basically indicating he wanted the game to be played for him.

"Because it isn't CoD"
My GOD, I had to spend 4 straight days with that guy, and if we tried any other game (I don't have CoD), he'd team kill me, die, whine and say it's shit, and want to play something else, like Star Wars Battlefront 2 (which is fun and all, but the aforementioned team killing ruins it and I've played it to exhaustion)

What are the dumbest reasons for hating a game you've heard somebody say?

"Red Dead Redemption sucks because it isn't in first-person"

"Portal sucks because you don't kill anybody in it."

I'm both ashamed and mildly creeped out that I made that exact comment (word for word) about portal earlier today.

Because it's on the Wii

Because it's on the Wii

I admit, I'm guilty of this to a degree. But it's more of hating a game because it is either exclusive to the Wii, or decided to let itself get ported to the Wii.

I confess. I hate the Wii.

"I can't beat it! so i hate it !"

My brothers.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

because it's popular.

Fucking this.

Also, "it's trying to be (insert game here)! "

Too much text/dialogue. In an RPG. Where all the dialogue is skippable.

So, why are you playing RPGs when you don't like games that are text heavy or dialogue heavy? Especially when it's stated that this game is specifically harkening back to D&D and old school text based RPGs? Go play an FPS or something.

Why do you hate the Wii though? It has plenty of great games and the wagglestick doesn't negatively affect gameplay for the best of them.

Well for being a console exlcusive, or if you have not played it. I hate all turn based combat games because they put me to sleep.

Shamus Young wrote an article a few weeks ago about how he hated The Witcher solely because he hated the main character.

That's a dumb reason if ever I saw one.

WoW sucks because its old.

Seriously no one ever gives a decent reason for all the unnatural hatred toward that game.

I've heard: "I dont like Zelda. The guy is a blonde haired mute who takes orders from women and goes to fight for a princess that wont fuck him in the end. He's a sissyboy... And a damn furry!"

I wish I could say I'm joking.

That I've said: It was on the 360.

Drake of the 99 dragons killed microsoft console gaming for me. Right then I renounced Microsoft games and stuck with Sony and Nintendo and havent looked back.

"I won't play games with bad graphics"

"I don't like Eve Online because nothing is happening"


Ironicly, this person is subscribed to WOW.

I wish I could greentext that. Welcome to The Escapist. The heavy liquor is in the basement and the Lolis are always serving dericious cake. Except to me. DAMN IT.


OT: "OMG this game has no fuking action"

"OMG this game is too complicated"

"OMG this game insults God"

Did I mention one of my friends is friends with such a guy?

EDIT: Or my personal favorite,

"OMG this game looks like a fucking cartoon is this game rated E or sumthing?"

>When referring to Borderlands.

Yes, I did smack his shit.

I just don't like the flood of "casual" games that have come out for it. No joke, I saw my daughter playing one (I don't know what it was called), and I said to my ex, "The sad part is, she plays the exact same thing as a 500KB flash game with different graphics."

I know the Wii is the weakest of the three consoles right now, but I feel the majority of games released for it really don't even try to take advantage of it's capabilities.

When someone refuses to play a game after hearing one, insignificant or at least not particularly big part of the game that they didn't like.

For christs sake, sure, as an example, I am a hater of yaoi(boy on boy manga/anime), the themes I've seen in all the examples presented to be only include things I think should not be mixed up with relationships and sex(like, physical and psycological abuse) so therefor I don't like it.

But just because I don't like yaoi doesn't mean that automatically everything that includes gay people is shit and not worth my time(this goes for real life situations as well, hell, my uncle's gay). I didn't throw away Dragon Age because you can have sex with Zevran as a male character.

 

[tlozoot]

Because it's commercially successfully or popular with a group of people you dislike. A games fans don't define a game. The game itself defines the game. You'd really think this would be self-evident.

My friend didn't like Metro 2033 because you couldn't go prone and you have to charge the flashlight... I almost hit him.
