Most impossible fan base to please?

[Hyper-space]

The Elder Scrolls fanbase have had a history of begging for something (in case of Morrowind, unique hand-made content), have it delivered, only to complain that its not the same as the previous game which they complained about.

After Morrowind, everyone wanted a "not-broken-as-fuck" combat system and a magic system that actually worked, plus UI that didn't suck stilt. In oblivion, they delivered on that, giving a game that was actually playable, BUT OH NO! its no longer Morrowind! its no longer broken as fuuuuuck and has a decent combat system!

The same thing will probably happen when Skyrim gets here, people will ***** and moan, just as always.

EDIT:

Superman has no faults, consequently he's uninteresting.

I think thou hast not read All-Star Superman vol. 1 and 2 (by Grant Morrison) or For the Man who has it All (by Alan Moore).

Which is pretty pointless seeing as how you can just download a mod to fix whatever you don't like.

Exactly, yet people do not give Bethesda credit for making the proper tools to fix whatever they might find wrong with the game.

I'd probably say the Pokemon fanbase.

RAAAWR. THIS POKEMON IS NOT ORIGINAL OR CREATIVE.
RAAAWR. I CAN NO LONGER AUTOMATICALLY RUN. THIS IS A BIG ENOUGH ISSUE TO PREVENT ME FROM BUYING THE GAME.
RAAAWR. THIS GYM LEADER IS NOT TO MY LIKING.
RAAAWR. THIS IS THE THIRD FIRE/FIGHTING STARTER.
RAAAWR. THIS POKEMON IS A WALKING GARBAGE BAG. THIS IS CLEARLY THE WORST CONCEPT FOR A POKEMON EVER DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE FIRST GENERATION INTRODUCED A SENTIENT PILE OF SLUDGE. I STILL THINK THE FIRST GENERATION IS THE BEST AND MIGHTIEST AND HAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT.
RAAAWR. THIS IS TOO MANY LEGENDARIES.
RAAAWR. THE GAME IS NOW BALANCED. WHY CAN'T I MOW THROUGH THE ENTIRE GAME WITH A SINGLE PSYCHIC TYPE. THE FRANCHISE IS NOW RUINED.
RAAAWR. THESE POKEMON LOOK TOO ROBOTIC AND ARE HORRIBLE DESPITE THE FACT THAT IN THE FIRST GENERATION THERE WERE MAGNEMITE, ELECTRODE, AND PORYGON, WHO WERE ACTUALLY ROBOTS.

Love the games, hate most of the fans.

This is an easy question to answer, it's easily WoW fan base

 

[drbarno]

the sonic fanbase, they complain about everything that happens in the games,

To be fair, have you PLAYED a sonic game lately?

As a matter of fact I have, both Sonic 4 episode 1 and Sonic colours, both seem like perfectly fine games to me.

Heh, touche. I was mostly referring to sonic 06 and unleashed though, which is the ones most people complain about and completely deserve it. Ironically enough I'm the one who hasn't played 4 ep 1 or colours. I stopped playing after the travesty that was (sonic) unleashed.

(I actually like '06 though, despite all it's faults, but i'm just weird)

Yea, those two are usually regarded as worse off, but the main reasoned I haven't played those( at least not properly, I tried '06 at a friends house once when it was new, played sonic's story up to unlocking silver, then played a bit of silver's story) Was that I never had a console to play '06 at the time of release, and just couldn't be bothered to play unleashed.

"ME2 was terrible because it wasn't the same as the first one!" (Ok, that one I agree with).

Oh no, a sequel is better than an original but DIFFERENT.

Morrowind was better.
System Shock was better.
Modern Warfare was better.

Why did you change this post?

Quoted from my messages,

Revrant

"If only an awful aborted fetus of a game could be copied and turned into a sequel, rather than a good game actually made of the success following the aborted fetus.

Oh, screw me sideways, I forgot, all you console kiddies care about is the worst multiplayer you can find in a game, not anything else, because you didn't even play singleplayer.

My bad."

Taking your unedited post (as you probably realised how bloody stupid it sounded), what the hell are you talking about? Grow up, saying 'aborted fetus' doesn't make you sound edgy, it makes you sound like you can't make a valid point so you resort to petty attention-seeking.

As far as 'us console kiddies' caring about finding the 'worst multiplayer', what is this supposed to mean? GIVE ME ETEH WERST MUTLIPLAER PLASE! I don't even have a gold membership at the moment, and Fallout 3 and Oblivion are my two most played games, by about 90 hours each.

Boy, Revrant, you sure stitched me up good and proper!

Still, ignore me, call me a console kiddie, and change your posts when they make you sound like an idiot. I'm the real loser here huh?

Fans are only obnoxious when they are loud enough to effect the production of a game. Now, while player feedback is important and can bring to life aspects of a game's design that the developers didn't realize was an issue and is certainly a good thing it loses all of it's relevance when Fans start complaining about non-incidental things.

That being said, I'm singling out a fanbase I myself am part of; The damned Sonic fanbase. Sure, Sonic Team isn't perfect and they've failed to produce a solid gaming experience in a long while, but you start taking advice from the loudest, most obnoxious fans and things start getting confusing and unsteady.

 

[Raddra]

MMO players.

Any fan base is impossible to please, they live to complain. Fans will clamor about the need for a sequel once a sequel exists they clamor about a company only making it to cash in on a classic. Not to mention how sequels are picked apart similarities being complained about and seen as unoriginality and stagnation, while changes seem to be taken as betrayals to the original title and the fans themselves.

I think the real question should be "least impossible fan base to please?"

 

[Dr. Feelgood]

Halo fans. Seriously, read the Halo: Reach forums. It doesn't seem like anyone on that website even enjoys the game.

 

[Antari]

The most dedicated fanatical, crazy and fun fanbase would have to be Trekkie's ... If you change something about the religion that is Trek, be prepared for a burning at the stake.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I think the real question should be "least impossible fan base to please?"

Mortal Kombat. Seriously. Look at what we've had to slog through, and look how we made the best of it. Never once did we complain.


This new game is justice on a CD.

You know, that's true. I can't recall ever hearing/reading a Mortal Kombat fan complain. Kinda ironic, isn't it?

 

[Seiei]

The Sonic fanbase. I've never seen more people ***** about games that HAVEN'T EVEN COME OUT YET!

Here's an example of what most of the fanboys bitched about with Sonic Colors before it even came out, "OMFG THE GAME HAS THE WORD COLORS IN IT!!! THAT'S SOO GAY!! THIS GAME IS GONNA SUCK"!!!! Please grow up.

"RE5 DLC is on the disc? ARGH! Why are they making money for extras?"

People got mad at this not because they gave us extras, but because the extras were already made and already on the disc, but they decided that you had to pay extra to unlock what is already at your finger tips. Imagine buying a car and you don't have air conditioning, but the dealer says "Well for 150 bucks we can add air conditioning" so you pay him but all he does is flip open a flap inside your car and you now see that there was an air conditioning unit and dial all along, you just couldn't access it. You'd kind of be cheesed right? I mean, you'd be glad that you now have air conditioning, but you'd sort of question why they did it in that manner. That's how I felt when they "made" "DLC" for RE5.

I think the Socom community is the hardest to please. I'm part of it, and I know that we ask for a lot, and we don't appreciate what we're given, and in the end, I think we as a community aren't even sure of what we want but we sure seem to know what we don't want.

Have they explicitly stated that it will come with AC as standard? No? Then I'd be fooling myself if I thought I was entitled to it. The fact is, a lot of cars have empty sockets, or blanking plates, where they can fit a £10 appendage that will add functionality. They have the pieces right there, so why don't they give them to me for free? So what if they took time to design and make, I'm buying the car so I should get all the extras too right?

Except.. What if they don't want to swallow the cost, they decide everyone WILL have the formerly optional extras, and they slap another £200 on the list price of every car.

Tell you what, I'd rather choose what pieces I want bolted on my car if A. I can't fit it myself or B. I have no right expecting it. It's an extra. Without it, you still have a car/game. With it, you have a car/game that gives you something extra that you've A. elected to receive and B. paid for, thus supporting the development of future cars/games rather than chucking more money at the retailers, since you can bet the initial price increase would cut another slice off for them.

After spending lengthy time on the Bungie.net forums I must say the Halo fanbase, jeez it's always complaining about armor lock, all the time, every day on average I'm going to assume 10 threads about the same topic are created, armour lock.
