Stuff you love, but wouldn't recommend

[chiggerwood]

The movie 'Oldboy' I love that movie, I think it's one of the greatest ever made, but I would never recommend it to ANYONE! Anybody who's ever seen it knows why. The flashback, the ending, The BEYOND fucked up twist THE tongue scene, and OH GOD the hammer scene. My teeth hurt just thinking about it. Yet it is the greatest revenge movie ever.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

The Dynasty Warriors video game series.

To be honest I barely understand why I love them, let alone recommending them to other people.

The games are basically just repetitive hacking and slashing while plowing through hordes of enemies without a care in the world. Not to mention the characters are over-the-top, cheesy and cliche' and adding to that you get a face full of hammy voice acting turned up to 11.

So yeah, I wouldn't recommend them unless someone specifically asked for something like that.

I think I would take that one step further and say the Dynasty Warriors Blank series (so far there's just Gundam and Fist of the North Star) but the reasoning remains the same. Of course with the Gundam and Fist of the North Star you can add the fact that the one is a huge, decade spanning series of multiple series and the other was a none-too-well received franchise (in the US anyway). Although if you do like DW, Fist of the North Star is the one that makes the most logical sense (ie: one person killing hundreds of other people per level)

There are some foods I love that I wouldn't recommend. To name three; Unadon, Takoyaki and, Baby-Octopus Sushi. Unadon is Unagi Donburi and while you may like certain types of donburi (fish/meat + veggies and rice in a bowl) Unagi translates from Japanese into Eel. I love Eel but many people would avoid it.
Takoyaki is a sort of dumpling, ball shaped and a Japanese finger-food I absolutely love! A Japanese Taco however, isn't the same that many other Westerners are familiar with since in Japanese Tako = Octopus. Takoyaki is basically just large enough for a bit of tentacle or something so maybe if you like Calamari you'd like Takoyaki (although Takoyaki is more savory than salty)
Baby-Octopus sushi is basically self-explanatory. It's sushi (rice wrapped in sea-weed) but it's topped with a whole baby squid. As in a whole, cooked baby squid (or two depending on where you get it). This was the first thing I've eaten whole as in brain, eyes and, everything and while I liked it, I couldn't recommended to people who are creeped out by eating things that can look at them

I had a hard time trying to think of something, but I think I found one
Is it:
A: MLP:FIM
B: Call of duty
C: Halo
or D: All of the above

Its actually E: none of the above.

My choice is universal, and the one choice that is agreeable to all....porn. Think about it! Everybody loves it, but you never see anyone recommending certain videos.

Ninja's in the first post... So this



Oh the happy nights I spent at my friend completing every mosou mode...

 

[Naught42]

Katamari. ANYTHING Katamari. It's addicting and I've played and own all of them, but... My God it's stupid and mindless...

Fucking ninjaed in the first response. God damn. Love series... even though it sucks ass.

Any of the Total War series, I love the games but to many people really don't like strategy games anymore.

Any form of graphic novels, I have a lot friends who like animation but graphic novels are usually one kinda stumbles into.

SWTOR- I really enjoy the game, but I don't like playing it with other people usually.
I like warzones, but I don't wanna quest with friends unless required. Every time somebody I know play's they wanna play together and usually I'm forced to do what their doing, not what I want to do. Also It's hard to recommend any MMO because they usually destroy lives.

Usually any thing with the name gundam in it. I LOVE gundam, it's very unnatural, but I realize that almost all the gundam game's are crap but I still like them.

Katamari. ANYTHING Katamari. But my God it's stupid and mindless...

That's why I love it!

On topic:
MLP:FiM
Paul Blart: Mall Cop
J-Pop

I love all three of these but I wouldn't recommend them to anyone, unless it's someone I know really well.

 

[torzath]

Monster Rancher. Not the game for everyone, but it if hits you right, it's pretty addictive.

10) Black Lagoon (anime)

I'm currently doing (or have done) all of these things. It comes naturally to me and I enjoy it to an extent but it's mostly painful in the long run.

2, 9, and 10 I would grudgingly recommend. Avoid 1, 3 and 6 if you want to live without regrets.

Heh, i recommended Black Lagoon to this girl i know- i did warn her it was it was "boyish", but i think that only encouraged her.

I quite like Finnish horror films, but i probably wouldn't recommend them because they are rather...unorthodox. I also tend not to recommend anime's or anime films such as Ghost in the Shell that have nudity in it- my friends who are less than accustomed to Japanese anime arn't used to the sight of animated boobies and it may come across as a bit of a shock for them.

Oh, and i second the person who mentioned porn. Defo something many people enjoy but obviously don't recommend.

 

[TheRocketeer]

A lot of the music I like is like this. Camel is one of my favorite bands ever, but I can certainly understand if no one else could stand them, and why.

I am, however, always bugged when people say someone 'just doesn't get it;' this is a meaningless, catch-all term to corral anyone who doesn't feel the same way into one group and handwave their indifference or dislike as incapability. Same goes for saying someone doesn't 'appreciate' something.

Tom: I dunno, Stan; I've just never liked Rachmaninoff the way you do.
Stan: That's okay; I guess you just don't get it. Speed polka still sucks, though.
Tom: *snort* Most people just can't appreciate it like I do.
(cue fistfight)

 

[Tanis]

Most 'Gundam' games.

They tend to be mediocre crap, but they're also a guilty pleasure of mine.

8) Wearing fedoras

*looks at his fedora hat hanging in his room*
*turns head back to Vern5*

Wat?

 

[Rariow]

Hyper-realistic flight sims. Whilst I understand why someone wouldn't want to have to spend hours upon hours learning to control every tiny bit of the plane before going to an actual aerial battle, I find it almost the best kind of entertainment. Why not fly in real life? Because I DO think civilian aircraft are boring, and I wouldn't very much like to be killed in real life flying military aircraft.

 

[SoranMBane]

Any book written by Richard Morgan, like Altered Carbon or The Steel Remains. I just think they're great, well-written books, but the sex scenes can be a bit much, to put it lightly. I don't know what it is with that guy and sticking raunchy sex scenes into every book he writes, but it makes it so that I can't even recommend his stuff without slapping a big, fat warning sticker onto that recommendation.

 

[EHKOS]

007 Nightfire. I love the game, but it's nothing special. Another drop in the FPS bucket. I still love it though.

 

[ParanoidEngineer]

Alpha Protocol.

J'adore Aplha Protocol, mais (forgets French) I LOVE IT, YOU PEOPLE SEEM NOT TO, SO I'M NOT GOING GUSH ABOUT IT!

 

[ToastiestZombie]

I've got a few.
1)Total War series, I love them but there really too complex and require too much thought for most of the people I know. This also applies to Civilisation
2)MLP: FiM, well because I know that many people don't like us bronies pressuring them to like it, so I don't want to annoy people who don't show an interest in the show. Also in real life if I went to my friend and said "You should watch my little pony", I would probably get punched.
3)The Walking Dead, despite it's flaws I still love the show. But it really doesn't get anywhere quickly so I don't really want to reccomend a show like that of which is probably not for their tastes.

Damn, 1 and 2 have been said already!
