Most Ignorant thing somebody has to said to you about gaming.

[The DSM]

"Videogames where made by the devil"

I facepalmed when they said it.

 

[draken693]

"Portal is a total ripoff of Final Fantasy VII."
I couldn't reply to that. It had rendered me speechless because he was dead serious.

 

[Woodsey]

"PC gaming is dying".

What I think: You dumb f*cking shit.

What I say, to be polite to them: You f*cking moron.

 

[TheDandyHighwayman]

I'm sure it was a joke but on playing my DS in class one day my teacher said "how do you get the little men in the box"

as for true ignorance.. how about anything Jack Thompson as ever said on the subject

 

[JeanLuc761]

"Portal is a total ripoff of Final Fantasy VII."
I couldn't reply to that. It had rendered me speechless because he was dead serious.

How...How could you POSSIBLY compare Portal to a Final Fantasy game?

I don't even

 

[Munsie]

"Dance Dance Revolution? That's just a bad japanese rip-off of Guitar Hero!"

I died a little inside.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Dad: "Why bother replaying a game? It's always going to be the same anyway."

Me: (long sigh, and a detailed explanation and analogy of WHY that statement betrays his ignorance)

 

[ModsDeleteThisAccountPlease]

Two:

Books like Harry Potter are making you depressed and violent

Your addicted to video games and that Xbox is ruining your future. You are a failure.


Thanks for the support Dad, condemning my favorite things.

 

[About 115 Ninjas]

"Black people don't play Xbox Live, that's why I can say N*****"

...I tend to just unplug my mic these days when I'm on Live now.

 

[ModsDeleteThisAccountPlease]

That games will destroy your education. Said by a very fucking stupid student who got worse test results than me. I'm smarter than 90% of my school and I play videogames more often than I sleep.

Hell Yeah! Same problem here.

"Dad, I play video games because I finished all my work, no ones on Facebook, and we live in a development so far away from my friends, trying to hang out with them would be fruitless."

My little sister once actually asked me, sincerely, why I never have fun. She didn't seem to comprehend that I could possibly have fun when I'm alone.

 

[JamDeity]

Heya, I've had some annoying comments in the past, but one I can remember recently is that I was a loser because I played Rock Band instead of learning how to play an actual guitar.

But here's something nice that could help stop some rageface on here, my mom is one of those few wonderful parents that (even if it's only a little bit) gets video games. If my siblings are running late on their chores/homework and she tells them to get to it, she will wait until they can save or pause first. She understands the sacredness of saves.

"OHMYGOD YOU'RE A GIRL AND YOU PLAY VIDEO GAMES?!"
Goddamn moron. Never happens on the internets though, praise the lord.

"All new video games suck. The golden age is over. I hate the new generation of video gamers, etc. etc. etc. And you can't disagree with me, because I'm a a more 'hardcore' player than you."
Just an overall douche-y and elitist opinion that irritates me.

I sure do agree with you, but even though I agree with you I'm still surprised when I notice a girl is playing Gta4 or MGO... It's hard not to picture girls as pink giggly cuties cause that's the only thing I see. Don't get me wrong I'm not the "women should be in the kitchen" kind of guy, I'm actually a masochist, so I would then be the one doing the work lol=P

However, to the thread, the most ignorant thing I've ever heard is "Halo is the best game evur!" happy?

This, but also the associated counterargument of auto-referring to anyone who dares say anything negative about a casual game as elitist. Eurogamer article comments, I'm looking at YOU.

My little sister once actually asked me, sincerely, why I never have fun. She didn't seem to comprehend that I could possibly have fun when I'm alone.

I also have this problem. I tend to have some of my best experiences when I'm perfectly alone and immersed in the game.

 

[SinisterGehe]

Ha I know one...
"XBOX 360 is a good system"... "It is good because others play it. (FUCK OFF COD YOU ARE A FUCKING FISH)" And most of all... "Games for Vista" Oh LOL...

 

[Captain Schpack]

It's B to jump right?

/thread

 

[coldshadow]

mostly what the fanboys say about the other systems.

 

[ReSpawn]

Most ignorant comments from gamers:

That Halo was the first game, to feature:

-A separate grenade button
-First successful FPS designed for console
-As far as I know, first FPS to limit the number of weapons carried
-Vehicles in a first person shooter or first one to have good controls
-Shield system that paved the way for recharging health instead of the old healthbar
-Large, open levels instead of linear corridors
-Multiplayer for a console shooter.

Fanboy failure. Even though this is incorrect, they are effectively saying that their game ruined the genre. How unwittingly correct.

Oh, come on! In a thread about people saying stupid things about games and gaming? Really? [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CompletelyMissingThePoint]
