I don't not like to admit I like them because of the fans, apart from WoW, but I do have several. Final Fantasy, World of Warcraft (namely people that spend their lives on it), JRPGs in general, Portal, and others I can't remember at le moment.
I wouldn't mind but it is kinda ripping of the dildo melee weapon from GTA San Andreas... and I am a huge Saints Row fan, but I know what you mean about the wanabee gangsters, they've made the Saint's Row forums unbearable!rreetteepp said:
Any game that has been liked by someone on the internet as that would inevitably lead to someone hating on it, which in turn would lead to someone defending it, which would... "FLAMEWAR!!!!"
The internet is simultaneously one of the best things and worst things to happen to civilisation and I think the game industry is worse for it and possibly society in general as well.
Now let's all marvel at the irony of this statement.

Pretty much all of those MOBA games have a horrible, horrible player base. DoTA, HoN, LoL--all full of dickheads.Kukakkau said:
"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." Clearly Obi-Wan never played LoL.
Halo: Reach. Game is great, possibly one of the best Halo games to date (second maybe to ODST), but by god the multiplayer scene is shite. There's always some ragey dickhead who thinks he's god's gift to gaming, some spawncaming fucktard(s)or someone exploiting a map glitch somewhere.
Gah.
Gah.
Portal fans. They really made the game less enjoyable when you couldn't avoid trilions of jokes directly take from the game on the internet. Slightly brought down the humor in an otherwise enjoyable experiance.
Otherwise I can't really say I know where fans ruined the game. People mention a lot of multiplayer games here where the player base is rude. But lets be honest, do we really wanna count the rude people as "fans" of those games? Personally in my experiance with Halo it's the really die hard fans that can contribute to a good multiplayer game. Those who have played every halo game since the first one and enjoy the gameplay tremendusly. For me, those people are very laid back and calm when playing multiplayer, cause they have done it for years and know they don't really need to prove anything.
A lot of the dickheads online really doesen't give a damn about the game, they could be playing halo or call of duty or whatever. Way to often when I stumble upon them on Halo I can notice that they haven't touched the singelplayer or other aspects of the game.
Same thing with Warcraft, I played a roleplaying server and the times when I RP with people there it was with people that was big fans of warcraft as a whole. That knew waaaay too much about the lore than should be healthy, and read every quest discription fully. These people were a lot nicer to hang with than the average.
Of course there are excemptions. But I would say that the average "fans" of a game knows how to behave kindly in that game better than anyone else.

Which one? there are many communities based around TF2.kebab4you said:
Anyway, I can't really say a games really been ruined by its fans...Though fans of certain games can be fucking annoying. Here's my list.
LoL, HoN, DoTA, etc
Psychonauts
World of Warcraft
Any of Biowares Games
There are more but I can't think of any at this moment in time.
I see people say COD a lot. No, no, no. COD fans are fine when compared to Battlefield fans. Battlefield fans are just beyond insufferable. They have this high and mighty, holier-than-thou attitude about their samey, generic first person shooter just because it isn't the samey, generic first person shooter.
Oh, and Bioware fans. But they're just really creepy and awkward... not really insufferable or aggravating like BF fans.

The Dragonball community, sweet Jebus! Those people just do not shut the hell up complaining about anything and everything!
For me it's gotta be Battlefield. You can't watch some gameplay without someone shrieking "CALL OF DUTY IS FOR FAGGOTS!!! ARRRRGGGHHHHH I HAVE NO SOCIAL LIFE!!!!"
I despise those people. Every time someone says 'the cake is a lie,' I loose any smile I have, glare at him/her, and politely tell them that they are not funny. I honestly cannot find that game all that funny mostly due to the fanbase spoiling it with overused 'jokes.' It went from a comedic puzzle game to a puzzle game that is trying to be funny. I love portal, but I hate the fanbase.Wuggy said:
The Witcher fan base.
I played the Witcher 1, then tried playing 2.
Mentioned that I did not like much of it, and said that I gave up on it.
Got called a:
Short bus riding retard
An idiotic COD player (CoD is better than the Witcher)
A mouth breathing incompetent video gamer who is the reason modern RPGs suck.
etc.
This was not even one person, more like around 5-6 people on a forum who bashed me quite severely. On the other hand I met well one fan of the Witcher who was actually very helpful and considerate.
I did not finish the Witcher 2, not out of hate of the fans per say but because I did not like it.
Honestly they are a very immature group I found who really just seek a reason to proudly wave their Geralt flag in everyone's face. I got fed up by it very quickly.
