I don't like GTA 5 because I had a horrible experience with pre ordering it and steam requiring me to redownload the entire thing on capped internet, combine that with 10 minute loading times just to get into the game and I can't even be bothered to care about GTA 5 over saints row.
Silliest/Dumbest Reasons For Hating A Game

I am sorry but you entirely missed the point. None of that is true. The game isn't really like Call of Duty other than regenerative health and that. They didn't dismiss anything. They looked at the twenty year old game which had aged terribly and improved it. A company isn't t under an obligation to force gamers to turn back their clocks and put in outdated mechanics for "uniqueness."josemlopes said:
The first 10 minutes of the game are more Call of Duty then Black Ops 2 since Black Ops 2 did have some unique things to it.Brownie80 said:
Perfect Dark improved while not dismissing the unique things that worked.
ffX i guess I didn't like how you traversed the world, goin from place to place on the little roads. I was used to the <FF9's of the world were you had world maps and i just couldn't get into it.
Then i played 10 later and found a whole other host of problems. but that was it initially.

Looking back over this thread, it seems obvious that everyone has a few seemingly shallow reasons to hate games (or anything), and everyone hates some of other peoples shallow reasons for hating things, and also everyone hates other peoples just-as-shallow-reasons for NOT hating things and defending them. It's chaos, chaos is what it is, and I'll jump right in.
- It never occured to me that you could hate the Paladin class because they are religious, but now that some people mentioned it (and thought it was stupid), I can see the reasoning behind this. Everyone brings in their preferences and dislikes into games, and especially so when it is an RPG. Defend Paladins on this all you want, chances are that other people have RPG experiences that are not only unlike yours, but that you would also be unable to duplicate. To further add to the confusion, I personally always enjoyed being a Paladin, because I enjoy being the morally superior knight in shining armor. But this only works within the framework of games (so far), where morally incontestable choices mostly exist, not because they are realistic, but because they can be fun. In such a world, I see the devotion that a Paladin has to his God as an original strength of his character, rather than being derived from religion. In real life, my reasoning would likely be the exact opposite, and I'd interpret a too strong sense of religious righteousness as a personal weakness, only pretending to be a strength.
- I can relate to the problems that some people have with FF IX. Personally, I am racist towards Freya, for no other reason that that she is a humanoid rat. This might actually have been intended by the developers, since the human aggressors in this game hate them too and slaughter them for it, and I see what you did there and all, but I can't get over it. Freya is a fucking rat, and having to play as her and being forced to have her in my party, actively takes away from my enjoyment of the game.
- Also in FF IX, I can't stand Zidane. This is even more of a problem, since he is the main character of the game, or let's say he is as main as it gets. He is a cheeky little bastard, and I can't stand the way he aggressively flirts with the Princess, and in fact every girl he encounters. I assume that if the game came out today, this would be a somewhat bigger problem with many people, so maybe I am not so shallow. In any case, I can't relate to him at all.
- I enjoyed Wind Waker a lot, but my cousin refuses to even test it out, because he doesn't like the art style. This used to infuriate me, but I have since come to accept his opinion as valid. If graphics and especially art style didn't matter at all, then we might as well play the game even though the textures failed to load. Graphics and art style, like music, make for a lot of the atmosphere of a game. Like a painting, a game can be appealing or repelling based on its visuals alone, before story or gameplay have any say in the matter. If you look at it and don't like it, that is all the (good) reason you need to deny it your time and your money.
Nowadays, I dismiss FF based on its art style alone. It is everything I hate about japanese popculture, and I fully agree with another user on here who called the japanese out on growing up not into adults, but big repressed children. The amount of angst in their stories and characters, it's insufferable.

I recall back when Pokemon was superpopular there being so many dumb reasons for not liking it:
-it's for kids
-it's an RPG
-it's not an RPG
-too easy
-I hear you like it so it must suck
-animal cruelty
-Gameboy sucks
-it's japanese, and you know what they say about the japanese I'm not a racist but you know-
-the Devil

Five Nights at Freddy's: It's a game about furries. (No, I'm not referring to what Honest Game Trailers said, I've met people who legitimately thought that)
Duke Nukem Forever: You zoom instead of using iron sights. (Now, there's plenty of reasons for hating DNF. But this one is just rock stupid.)
Counter-Strike: There's no iron sights.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Dragons aren't real. (I shit you not, someone used this as a reason as for why they didn't like Skyrim.)

Apart from agreeing with the mentioned 'Ew sports/racing games' complaint being dumb...
Got to place a mark against hating something for being 'popular', or 'hyped'. Escapist is especially guilty of this. Hating something because its mainstream trash or popular or whatever makes you a hipster. Stop. And hating something because its being highly anticipated? See previous.
