"Wind Waker/Okami/Psychonauts must suck because they have 'weird' graphics." My friends and I get into sooooo many arguments over this statement.

This happens all the time my friend, a ps3 owner/voracious fanboy, is always saying Halo is becoming a franchise whore or something, then when I mention that Metal Gear series (his favourite) has like 15 games, he says they are all great (which they are, to be honest, but to call out Halo on over-franchising when Metal Gear is being bent over by The Kojima, is a little bit hypocritical)and then gets all protective and going BUT IT HAS GOOD GRAPHICS!

(Also some more un-nesscerary brackets)

Edit - I also should point out that I am not an Xbox fanboy, mainly beacause fanboys suck eggs.

Pretty much anything off the videogames segment of the Saints Row conservitive talk radio station. The real punchline? I've heard almost identical arguments from real pundits.

"You have to spend thousands of dollars every year to upgrade your PC so you can actually play freshly released games." Usually heard from Console fanboys.

For extremely obvious reasons I'm not even going to bother explaining why this statement is stupid.

My favourite recently is a beautiful bit of lunacy where a guy on my team playing Halo 3 was constantly berating me for being an elite and accusing me of trying to 'wipe out humanity' and that I was 'a split faced son of a ***** unworthy to live' and that he 'couldn't wait to genocide my entire race because humanity will own your scaly asses'. I've already mentioned it before but this guy seemed to really think the Halo war actually happened and therefore I can think of no argument more crazy then that one.

I mean come on, like humanity would have a chance against the elites....
umm, i think this guy played you like a fiddle, you got griefed hard. I also griefed in a couple of games, calling the Wermacht team on DoD:S "f****ng Nazi Sympathizing Butt-kissing Skinhead m*therf****rs" every time they would kill me( wasn't that much, cuz i am pro, bro)

Xbox Live vs. Playstation online
Now me and my friend always argue which is better but he just states flaws with xbox and I will state both the good stuff and flaws with playstation.

Oh and another one my friend keeps trying to Assassin's Creed has a great storyline whereas it probly would if was not done in the fucking matrix, I mean come on a guy lays down on a bed and is put in a virtual world where he can do pretty much anything from climbing a wall like spider-man to leaping from a shear cliff and landing in a bail of hay and walking away like it was nothing.

Here's one from a guy who's never touched a video game too me;

'You can't get a decent job for playing video games - It's just immature games'

I then linked him

I think it should be the other way around.The elite would fucking slaughter us.

Nope.There is no way we could win them.

my younger brothers friend said
"console gamers aren't real gamers"
me: blah blah blah
"no, that's what most people think"
me: yadda yadda yadda
"it's because PC gamers play a wider variety of games"
and on and on and on

I mean, I enjoy pointless debates but reeeeaally

"Video games make you addicted"
Everything related or similar is bullshit, and people should look up the word Addicted, because i don't think it means what they think it means.
I think i'll just support this.

The most ridiculous gaming argument I have ever heard would be, well all of them. Seriously though is there really much point in fighting over a game. I never quite understood why people do it in the first place and whenever someone starts one with me, I just walk away from them. Or I add them to my block list, if I met them online.

I'm going to have to say "hardcore vs. casual" gaming. People acting superior simply because they are more familiar with games in general. What a great way to make people accept gaming, by talking down to them and expecting special treatment.
This. My friend has a 360, and she has Assassins Creed. I thought it would be fun to play it. Good god, it was horrible. First she was annoyed because I couldn't read the tiny words on the screen, then she got mad because I couldn't grasp the controls and have them fully memorized in 2 minutes, then she got pissed because I didn't have the map memorized, which is ironic because whenever I do use the map, in any game, she gets all superior on my ass and informs me that she doesn't need to use the map. Well excuuuuuuse me!

Also any FF argument. I don't really like FF, simple because I don't like turn based games. So when I say I thought it was bad, that is exactly what I mean. Obviously, people do like the games, because they have an absolutely massive fanbase. I have no intention of joining it, so stop trying to get me into the games! And stop insulting me if I don't like them!

Also, when anybody makes a game less enjoyable. I love the Wesker "7 minutes" thing in RE5, and my friend informed me that when we go to that part again she was just going to blast Wesker with the rocket launcher(unlimited) until he ran away. Uh, gee, thanks for ruining my absolute favourite part of the game.

Oh and the whole "PC gaming is dying" and "I prefer consoles because it just works" crap...
I can't say I've heard this one before maybe I missed the memo...on topic: console war related arguments are plain stupid, it's a matter of opinion which one someone chooses to buy(not always but majority of the time), don't bite their head just because they didn't get the one you did. This can be narrow down to one thing...fanboys are idiots.

When so-called "HARDKORE GAMERZ" say that "realism" (as in, brownish graphics and gritty storyline) is better than original aesthetic. People who don't play Mario/Braid/Worms/R&C/Psychonauts/whatever because these games are "kiddy" are the bane of gaming community, nerd-dom, and humanity in general.
How so?

Don't want to start an argument, just want to know your reasoning behind saying it.

At the moment it seems like a bit of a "cos I said so" statement.

I prefer "realistic" to "kiddie" but I love a good game of worms every so often.

Well then, i'm going to put a bit more emphasis in my wording.

That is pretty ridiculous. Then again, I remember those times. Free for alls were especially fun, running around as a power blue and bright pink elite, with the female voice setting.

I think actually that on their own, humanity could have stood a decent chance of at least fighting off an army of elites, assuming we're starting way back at Harvest and going from there. Marines would have won ground fights under most circumstances against an army of just elites. However... space battles would be the problem. Covenant ships are still miles stronger than human ones, with better armament and defences.
Planet glassing would probably still happen. But then again, elites being as honour bound as they are, they'd probably want to get on the surface and fight.

Halo 3 timeline? I'll give you that. After Reach, it would only be a matter of time before an elite only army could take on Earth, and that would involve finding Earth, end of the humans.
