This is really more of a personal gripe, but my thing is to never say a game sucks. You can say you hate it, you can say it's broken, but you can't say it sucks. That is simply too general for me, no game is so bad that it sucks on all levels and has absolutely no redeeming qualities. Especially when you consider that bad games are a great learning experience for designers. It's a lot easier to point out the flaws of a game, than the successes of a good one.

Also, you're not allowed to say anything about the quality of a game you haven't played. You can say it looks bad, or the game-play doesn't seem very fun, or all your friends say it's terrible, but if you haven't played it, you can't comment on how good is overall. This is especially true for all the MW3 vs. BF3 stuff going on, unless you've played both, you can't prefer one over the other.

Because you have every game made in the past five or six years does not make you hardcore.

having one of these, on the other hand:



infact DOES mean you are hardcore.
Nahh, that's not hardcore. I have one of those (Well a Saitek version) and a wheel set and I'm not hardcore.

Now THAT is hardcore. /Crocodile Dundee

Er... guys? You're forgetting the most important thing.


Save often and in different places.

Just because you don't personally like a game series doesn't mean that it should end and stop being produced.

There will always be one person out there who believes that this one game that's universally agreed upon as terrible is a legitimately good game.

Fuck yeah.

Barring very few exceptions, no one major player of a console generations is intrinsically "better" than the others.

The console that is "better", not in terms of sales or library, but in quality, is absolutely a subjective question.

As a corollary, your opinion is, 90% of the time, subjective. People disagreeing with you is not a crime. Don't treat it like one.

If you spend more time praising a game on the internet than actually playing it, you have to step back and think about it. THINK!
There is nothing wrong with a fanbase gushing about something it likes in areas designated for this.

Seriously, all of you, boys and girls, pay attention. LIKE the games you play. Don't worry about liking them just the right amount as to fit in with social standards, like the game and be glad you like it. Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing wrong with liking something that's made to be liked (even if it's also made to make money).

Debate is fun and stimulating, and should also exist. Some things truly are subjective. This is also ok. But don't feel pressured not to like something because someone told you not to.

Also Stay outta the Ton, bro. Lotsa bad shit going down.

Excessive swearing does not make you look/sound cooler/more mature even if you hear a lot of the older kids doing it.

Also, if you are not within at least two years of the minimum age requirement for buying the game you really shouldn't be playing it in the first place.

This is all too true. I did it at least once on each of the first three Ratchet and Clank games.

To add to this, also never use the Kinect as a mic unless you absolutely need to be an asshole because 95% of the time all anyone else with hear is an loud metal echoing that is supposed to be your voice and the sound coming from your TV.

Be flexible in tour approach. If you're repeatedly getting your ass handed to you,try a different tack. If you complain that the game is broken,bugged,and unfair because of this,then you are clearly too inept to be playing this particular game. Train on other,simpler games,and work your way to the problem game.

1. The Mature rating doesn't actually designate whether or not a game is mature.
2. Art Direction is vastly more important than raw graphical power in terms of making a game that looks good and will age well.
3. You sound like an asshole when you complain about games adding features that will make it easier for new players to enjoy. Especially when said features don't infringe on depth of gameplay or are optional.
4. Call of Duty and Battlefield aren't realistic shooters. They only thing that is real about them is the name and shape of the weapons wielded.
5. Harrassing other people in a videogame makes you a societal shitstain.

banking a grenade launcher shot off a wall to take out a camper takes more skill than the camper will credit you for or that the camper exhibited themselves

Gamers need to know that everyone has different tastes in what they like in there games, if graphics and features are more important to them than gameplay well its their opinion and their is nothing wrong with it, if they like gameplay better than story or vice versa,It doesen't affect anyone else in any way so do not argue with them about it.
Also Gamers should stop acting like they have all the answers,and should stop reling on random posts on the internet to tell them what they should do.

Basically Gamers have no right to tell other Gamers to do something
and that goes for me aswell
