Strangest Reasons You Stopped Playing a Game

[willsham45]

I quit Zelda for a while because of the forest temple theme.
my mate quit Condemned because his dad was starting to get concerned

What the hell are you talking about? I have no problem killing a character in a game ... and depending on the person was, I probably wouldn't in real life either, if I had to. What saddened me was that I wasn't able to give my fictional son the best. I was saddened that my best wasn't good enough to fit my standards. There's probably a lot of psychology in that can derived from that, but then again, seeing as how you can't even put a space after a period, I'm not surprised it flew over your head.

Also, I'm not relgious ... I'm spiritual.

Is that really something uncommon?Ooh,you have no problem killing people in a game.How stunning.Ooh,if it were a terrible person you 'probably' wouldn't have any problems doing it in real-life either.Wow,that's just amazing.So,you got sad because you couldn't buy toys for your (unreal)child in a game when you were 9?Wow,amazing story there too.
Another retard who complains about punctuation and other unimportant shit on THE INTERNET.Psychology?!What?!Dude,you seriously have problems and need help.You're not religious,you're 'spiritual'?What?!What's that supposed to mean?Ooh,can't put a space after a comma or whatever.Just because it's annoying to do,unnecessary and I don't always feel like doing it doesn't mean I can't do it.By the way,'relgious'?Uh,did you mean 'religious'?

Dear lord, what is your problem? I laughed at his reason for stopping the game. I found it hilarious that he felt bad about his fictional son, since it's fairly silly. And I don't think he has been flaunting the fact that "he can kill people in a game". He was merely stating the oddness of the reason he stopped playing one game. Logic follows that if you are capable of bloody murder in game, you should not feel bad about a video game son. That's how I understood his post...

It makes me sad that you consider punctuation to be unimportant.

Well,about the oddness...mmmyeaah.It's really weird.The fictional son stuff...yeah...
Punctuation and grammar are unimportant when it comes to a bunch of geeks posting their oppinion about games on THE INTERNET.

The strangest reason for why I stopped playing a game was because I didn't want Brutal Legend to end. I love the story and the characters, so between the second to last escort mission and the battle in the Dry Ice Mines, I spent over 100 hours just driving around killing stuff. ;D

If you want to voice an opinion might as well do it properly, even when the opinion is given on THE INTERNET. Punctuation and grammar does wonders if you want your posts to be taken seriously.

I can almost hear you monologuing about how manly you are and you watch Youtube videos of the 'No Russian' level of Modern Warfare 2.Is that supposed to make us feel any different?Ooh,you killed pedestrians on a GTA clone,how interesting.And the best part that you say "God,that's sad" at the end of the post.I can determine you are religious,so that's another point subtracted from you,and why are you sad?That's like stomping on a Goomba in Super Mario Bros. and saying that "he deserved it",then 5 seconds later crying and yelling "What kind of monster am I?!".

I love how you say that punctuation isn't important on "THE INTERNET" but forgetting one letter (which, considering my track record of properly spelled words, is very rare) is some kind of crime and I'm a retard for doing so.

Rage on troll. If you're not going to have any kind of intellectual discussion with me, then move on. I'm not going down to YOUR level.

Okay so you troll on me for not having spaces after commas or periods or whatever but when you forget a letter it's all FINE APPARENTLY.Intellectual discussions are not for you anyways,so yeah,don't go DOWN(or UP,which one fits you better and makes you think you're smarter) to MY level.You need more XP.

As long as the argument is valid it shouldn't matter,but ohwell,kids these days are gonna troll for somebody not placing a space after a comma/period.

You're the one called me a retard for missing one letter when you don't put spaces between commas. And what I did was hardly trolling on you. However, calling me a retard for missing a single letter is.

You can try and put the blame on me, but it is you who is to blame.

 

[Liudeius]

Because the main character made an ethical decision that completely conflicted with my own opinion on the subject (or just generally act's like an idiot). And then got all preachy about their totally wrong decision.
It's happened in a few games, most I just went back to and beat anyway.

The most recent being Star Ocean: Last Hope. Screw you Edge, you suck.

I like how you edited the last statement from "Fail troll has failed"(which was an absolute FAIL,by the way and just showcased how intelligent you really are) into the "you can blame me blablabla" and you still forgot to add the "WHO" between "the one" and "called me".Priceless xD.Not putting spaces after commas hardly makes any difference,you don't read or interpretate it any differently.Really,what's the difference?It's annoying to do and I don't always feel like doing it,'nuff said.However,forgetting letters and words mid-sentence IS relevant,so keep that in mind.Also,I still don't get the last part.Ah,relevance comes in once again.I thought you could structure proper stuff,with all that time you spend looking at a child's dictionary.Oh,wait,I meant "track record of properly spelled words"(yeah,I don't get it either).

To be honest, I didn't even bother reading what you had to say this time. I know it's going to be nothing more than insults and the like and incomprehensible blatherskite (that is a real word, by the way, look it up if you don't believe me), so what's the point?

There's no reason for you to reply to this, because I'll just ignore it. Goodbye.

Don't forget GTA IV. I didn't want to kill the politician, and GTA just seemed like a vindictive throwback to last gen. It just came across as very spiteful and was a contributing factor in putting me off the game.

 

[Alfador_VII]

Back when FFX came out I stopped playing because I couldn't beat the very first Blitzball game (still can't). I tried and tried.. suffering through that damned movie scene and playing, knowing full well I'll fail in my quest (although I did tie once).

Yes, that's the same reason for me. I've tried to g back to it, but STILL couldn't beat it.

In fact, I've not played ANY of the newer Final Fantasy games since stopping FFX, so yeah, I stopped playing the whole series because of Blitzball.

I do intend to replay FF VII, VIII and IX at some point though.

 

[ABLb0y]

I stopped playing Brutal Legend because the main character annoyed me so much.

 

[Alphakirby]

Super Meat Boy because I had to restart TWICE!!!
FUCKING TWICE!!!
and with a platformer that hard,I WILL NOT REPLAY EVERYTHING!!!

 

[ejb626]

I stopped playing Stronghold: Legends because a strange graphical glitch caused all the people to appear in their default t-poses (the kind of crucifix pose all 3D models start out in) I just couldn't play a game where everyone was a sliding crucifix and take it seriously so I have up.

 

[Cowabungaa]

I stopped playing Amnesia because, well, it scared me. Yes, I know, it's supposed to do that. Even more weird is that actually made me think it's a good horror game, if it's so scary it can just make me stop playing.

And I stopped playing GTA4 because some people insisted on bowling with me.

I stopped playing Uncharted 2 because it made me feel like a murderer... I'm a pacifist and the way the game handles killing made me feel really uncomfortable

I've already mentioned that I'm a pacifist and if the option persists I'll go for the "not kill dudes" route (a la MGS), I can handle killing Spaze Nazi'd in KillZone 2 and Merc's in Far Cry 2, but Uncharted 2 made me feel like a stone cold killer of someone's Father/Brother/Son/Husband... hence I have not touched the Evil Uncharted since.

Shame really, I hear its a good game.

If it helps; In Uncharted you're killing dangerous mercs similar to Far Cry 2. Like at one point they attack a peaceful village with a tank and stuff, and you help defend it. See, you're the good guy! Trying to stop evil dudes who hire scum and all that.

 

[Slenn]

I stopped playing Boktai when it was found out that the main female protagonist was your mother. I was like "Seriously? It couldn't have been a princess that I could have married? It had to be my mom?" I mean I know that your parents are obviously important character wise, but making them the female focus of the game just made it all the less exciting.

I'm not going to put a spoiler alert around that either.

 

[ShakyFt Slasher]

I stopped playing Fallout 3 for a while due to the fact that my old computer had a habit of throwing the Windows XP boot file into the aether at a moments notice.

I lost two saves that way, each with easily 60+ hours put into them.

I picked it up again when I built my new comp, so it's all good.

This is the same exact reason I stopped playing as well.
