Agreed with both of these. It's truly hypocritical when people complain about too many sequels/same-y games but always buy the next Halo/COD etc. and not something fresh.Mr. Omega said:
The Wii is a fantastic system and by probably has the broadest appeal of any system in history... BUT THE GRAFIX R SUXORZ
No matter how awesome a game is, there will always be people who say it's shit and say it's the worst thing ever. That being said, there will NEVER be a game that gamers as a whole can all just agree that "yea, that game was good/fun/enjoyable". Ever.
1. Whether people like it or not, Halo has made enough money to warrant it's popularity.
2. Some of the best RPGs you'll ever play will be Bioware RPGs.
3. Gabe Newell ate HL2E3.
The first two statemets are not facts; they're opinions. What I mean is, they're statements about how things ought to be perceived.

Or if you're in Borderlands, in which case they all explode.Macabre9037 said:
If you're in a racing game, you are invincible and no matter how bad the crash, you will be able to keep driving.
this is not exclusively for games, but it still a pretty good fact:
the more liked something is, the more hate it gets.

despite killing everything or everyone you've ever met, you'll still have to do what the city guard says.
Even when your sword can cut through a dragon in a single blow, you'll still need to find a key to get through that flimsy wooden door.
Anyone with more than two dialogue options is a love intrest
even though they were carrying them, guards never actually drink the health potions they have with them.
no matter how often you change clips, you'll never have to actually load any bullets into a magazine or sort through all the half spent ones you've ejected to find a full one. there are only 4 calibres of bullet in the world: pistol/smg, rifle, sniper rifle and shotgun shell. all the armies of the world adhere to these strict classes and make all their weapons interchangable.
in fantasy games no one minds sleeping outside, although nowadays thats called being homeless - and we all know how cold and sucky that is.
no equipment will clatter, or fall out, get tangled up if you attempt some stupid acrobatics. anyone who has done any re-enactment/larp will know just climbing over a fallen tree will instantly cause all your arrows to leap out of your quiver and on to the ground just where you need to put your feet. No equipment will rust, float away, go soggy, or rot no matter how often you go swimming. On a similar note cloaks and robes, and long coats are a ***** to fight in. a simple bramble bush would defeat most people in a cloak. oh yeah, and in games you can swim in a cloak, and not just drown.
a chest high wall is impervious to all harm and is utterly unclimbable. in a game no-one ever just brings a rope.
in games, any problem is either utterly insurmountable or capable of being solved by going to far away places and doing stupid shit for random people.
if there's a perfectly good postal service, why have i got to go all the way there to hand in some crap, ask advice, receive my reward etc.
no matter that an earth-like planet might have a land surface of 150,000,000 km2 (earth does) you'll always land right next to the quest start, find a person/object from orbit, and find it only has a maximum of 8 shops no matter how many people live there.
Lastly, no matter how weak and pitiful an NPC is, you can never just kill them and take the reward they offered you instead of doing their innane bloody quest.

Amen to that last one.EverydayHeretic said:
-Small, plot important objects lying on the ground ALWAYS sparkle.
-Whenever someone tries to reboot a series you loved you will always be disappointed (I'm looking at you Phantasy star universe)
-If there's an ugly/negative character in any JRPG they are evil.
Not always: the first Bioshock had an option to turn this off and there is no glow at all in You are empty [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Oyct4mOR_w] (yes I know that game kinda sucks, but I very much enjoyed it nonethelessEverydayHeretic said:

Everyone on multi-player is Black, Jewish, and/or homosexual, but with more...colourful ways of calling them that.
Anyone who loses are considered n00bs and says the winning team are haxz0rz.
Winning team are haxz0rz along with being Black, Jewish and/or homosexual.
These are well known Gaming Facts =)

I am a noob because:
If you like very highly polished graphics you are a noob and are incapable of appreciatting, or even having an opinion on gameplay mechanics.
If you don't acknowledge Half Life 2 as a highpoint of civilisation you are a noob who wouldn't know a good game if it kicked you up the arse.
If you don't hate Justin Beiber (pretty indifferent) you are a noob.
Scripts for computer games are pretty much never strong enough to justify an unskippable cut scene.
If you only buy about one game a month you are a noob, it has nothing to do with funding your Masters Degree by working full time only leaving enough free time to play about one game a month.
