Dumbest Reason(s) for Hating a Game?

[ZiggyE]

"It's a kids game."

Grr...

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

"In every school shooting, we find that kids who pull the trigger are video gamers."

Jack Thompson, legal superhero par excellence;
a man too busy saving America's youth to stop and discuss irrelevancies like correlation versus causation.

Most perplexing I ever heard: Dungeon Keeper, reason for hating? "You are the bad guys" *Facepalm*

"Everyone says it is bad". Who is the mysterious everyone and why do they only seem to talk to people who have no opinions of their own?

My friends doesn't like "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" solely for the reason that the Word "Twilight" is in it.

Likewise, my sister mocked me for it because it had "Princess" in the title and there's a horse in it. Therefore: pony simulator.

Hating a game because it's popular :/

Having said that sometimes I do go into something whilst trying to dislike it, mainly popular films.

 

[Nazulu]

because it's popular.

That's at the top of my list as well. I mean come on, there are so many people who really behave like sheep, it's just sad. I can understand when something gets over hyped that it can be disappointing but COME ON!!! Hate!?

Some of these complaints seem pretty reasonable if explained a little more.

I hate Final Fantasy for using the word "final". If you have 30+ games, it is not final. If they called it "Yet Another Fantasy" I would have no issue with it.

"It's not realistic"

I know some people that say games have bad graphics because art in the game is different i.e. the game "XIII"

My friends doesn't like "The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess" solely for the reason that the Word "Twilight" is in it.

You have explained to him/her that the word, twilight, is a certain time of the evening?

On Topic:
Most things said already.

"Mafia isn't like GTA! SUX"

Yeah, well Half-Life isn't like Mario fuck-face, nor is it meant to be, what's your point?

My friend laughed when I told him Red Dead: Redemption had horses in it xD He knew it was a western so I'm not exactly sure how he expected you to get around.

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.

Ever tried to play an 80 hour RPG with an unbearably dull main character whose story you have no interest in?

Seems like a very good reason to not want to play a game, especially an RPG, to me.

[sub]The sharp-eyed among you may notice that I share the same opinion of The Witcher as Shamus, as much as I wanted to like it.[/sub]

Let me quote my classmate, when he was saying his opinion of mass effect ''its shit because it got no multiplayer...and the graphics are ******!''

"I hate Half-Life and L4D/L4D2 (and TF2, I think.) because I couldnt use iron sights..."

Someone been playing too many modern fps's? If so he/she should also hate counter-strike (if he/she likes it now) because it neither got iron sight.

"Playing it means you support the terrorists" the kind of bull crap that was heard during shitstorm that was MoH. while not said by actual gamers it was a dumb line used to condemn the game in the mass media.

Everybody who hates Call of Duty. They'll bullshit a lot and say it's bad, when really they're just jumping on the bandwagon. I'm not a CoD fan myself, but you're insane to say the game is bad.

I'll happily say Call of Duty is bad, especially the recent ones.

He used to play a lot of CS:S too. :S

So he is the prime example of hypocrisy. xD
