Stupidest reason to shoot down a game

[Deleted]

So yesterday, I was at a friends, and he brought up E3.
Friend: So what was your favorite part of it?
Me: Seeing Goldeneye, I'll finally get to play it on the wii!
Friend: It's gonna suck.
Me: Why?
Friend: The graphics suck, and it's on the wii.
Me: So?
Friend: To me, graphics are the most important part of a game, and the Wii probably couldn't even run Halo 3!

Your stupid reasons?

Goldeneye will suck for different reasons.

Designated melee button instead of slappers only!!!
The proximity mines will probably no longer be invisible, where's the fun in that?
Regenerating health instead of the red and blue bara on screen!
Probably will have a different james bond model
Online play will mean that there will always be the fucker who choses the Caves map since it'll probably be random vote

But on topic, people hating japanese games because they're weeaboo bullshit. Now I'm not a huge JRPG fan but you never know if a game is good until you play it for hours.

 

[willsham45]

Because "insert name here" said it was really good
Because reviews said it was bad
Because it is old
Because people get addicted to it/I lost 3 mates to it already.........WOW

Probably because its a genre you don't like, if people dared stray out their precious comfort zone they'd be a lot better off

I have to disagree with you on this one, or at least offer a slightly modified version.

You see, I don't play sport games/racing games/fighting games/Real time strategy. One might say they are "Outside of my comfort zone." But in all fairness, I don't plat these games simply because the objective doesn't appeal to me. For example, sport games: Heck, I don't even like real sports! Or racing? Feels boring to me.

However, some people refuse to play a certain genre of game just because. I at least have given all genre's a chance. Well.. except for Rapelay.

I agree in that i dont like IRL racing/sports so why would i play the games, but i've tried thema and simply dont like them, but i've never been a platformer/sidescrolling adventure but i recently got Little Big Planet and i love it (im 16)
What i really meant to say that just because you go outside of your comfort zone it doesn't mean you'll enjoy it, but there are tonnes of amazing racing/sports games and i simply dont want to play them because i don't like the genre, not like some of my friends who simply say "No its shit, X genre is for fags"

"I hatez that game becuz I got pwned like a noob even tho I'm a pro!!!" Never heard anybody use that phrase verbatim but I have heard ones that were quite similar.

I have more from the at my school:
It's not on the 360
It's not a shooter
It's on a console older than the 360
It's not made by [insert company here (usually Infinity Ward)
Not enough Blood/Violence/Tits

Wow...just...wow. Those people should be smacked. LOTS of great games came out before the 360, are not shooters, don't have a lot of Blood/Violence/Tits, and don't get me started on Infinity Ward. (Other than CODMW2, what else have they made?)

"The reviewers said it was terrible"

I swear if I hear that one more time I'll eat this chair.

I don't think you'll enjoy the flavour. The reviewers said it was terrible.

Smoother than butter on a waterslide. Enjoy your chair

Also, baby oil works rather well. I'm sure you're wondering how I know. Well, imagine this. Redneck wedding. You've got the altar set up in the yard...now look to the right and imagine a large inflatable waterslide less than 50 feet away from where the altar is. Now, add drunk redneck guys jumping down it after spraying bottles of baby oil over it. I was told it was fun but refused to try because they were somersaulting, flipping, etc all at the same time and I'm not a big fan of getting hit by other half naked men while we're all covered in baby oil. Yeah...not my idea of fun.

This question can be answered by a single word. I'm sure it's come up before and it'll come up again, so... say it with me, kids! Fanboyism!

Considering every graphics system not running on the patented Modern Warfare 'Brown-o-mat' shit and not worth two pennies.

Hey brown is realistic....at least I think it is at a time of war.

I always thought of it as a way for the game to project how unbelievably shit it is for a top shelf game. Not to mention the mind numbing boredom and unceasing fugliness.

so can you think of any "brown" shaded games besides COD, because I think that's the only one I've seen and MW 2 didn't seem very brownish.
Ever notice how complaining about cell shaded graphic style makes you an "idiot" but complaining about brown shaded graphic styles makes you "intellectual"?
And what's the deal with airplane bathrooms? Why do they need a mirror in there? Are people actually brushing their teeth in there?

Touché derelix

don't go all "french speaky" on me. This is America and I won't let some immigrant curse at me in some foreign gibberish.

Whoa, less of that man. Joking or otherwise.
Actually on the subject of our original two points, I wonder how an all brown game like Modern Warfare differs from a (nearly) all green game like the jungles of Crysis.

I have a friend who will not play any game that has cartoonish graphics. he says tf2 was a bad game without even playing it, I ask why and hes like cause its to cartoonish, he wont play anything cellshaded eiher.

 

[Byr0m]

Siants Row 2: "The story sucks and it isn't as realistic as GTA IV"

He hadn't ever even seen the game.

Yes, because GTA IV is really realistic. It happens every day, some random, fairly normal guy going around stealing people's cars, shaking off police helicopters and killing random pedestrians with a variety of weapons ranging from practically hand-made to practically military grade... [thick sarcasm]

OT: errm... mine is usually that I don't know enough about the game. Let me just explain, while I wouldn't say I'm 'in-the-know' about releases, I do tend to know about most releases but not all. This is why I didn't play Metro 2033 as soon as it came out, instead of after I had finished Fallout 3 for the twentieth time and wanted another post-apocalyptic FPS to play for ages.

Oh, this as well, especially TF2. I was like:
'Mate, this game is absolutely awesome, its a really fun game that you can play for ages and is actually quite challenging in parts so it would be right up your league'
And he was like:
'Yeah, but it looks like a kid's game'
>.< *facepalm*

 

[Lightslei]

"It's for kids"

...

At least I don't deny my inner child >_>.

 

[Arisato-kun]

"It's unrealistic"

F--k off.

I play games to get away from reality.

Biggest reason for me is right here.

I had a roommate that said fighting games that weren't UFC were bad because they weren't realistic. Then he'd turn around and glorify Nazi Zombies on Call of Duty.

Also according to him Valkyria Chronicles has terrible graphics.

.....What did I miss?

 

[NuclearPenguin]

Graphics.
That makes me want to cut people.

 

[Worgen]

I remember one review I read of kings bounty and they were complaining about the graphics

sure its not bump mapped out the ass like gears but you can only call it ugly if you want to prove yourself a lier, same goes for monster hunter tri

 

[SnowdensOfYesteryear]

"It's an indie game."

I've tried to introduce people to indie games and they refused to play it, ONLY for the above sentence.

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

To quote a rather idiotic friend of mine: "It doesn't have online play."

-_-

 

[Mr. In-between]

Worst reason to shoot down a game? "It isn't rated M for Mature"

That's seriously the dumbest, most ignorant shit in the world.

EDIT:

I've thought of something more ignorant than the above:

"BECAUSE YAHTZHEE DIDNT LEIK IT!"

Seriously? go stab yourself in the neck with a rusty screwdriver

 

[Mr.Kitetsu]

even though i own both xbox 360 and playstation 3
i am going to buy the clearly inferior xbox 360 copy the game 2 to spite sony because they are money grubbing assholes and microsoft are saints responsible for everything ever that is good and brilliant
aka the console "wars"

payed internet?.. srry but i think Microsoft are the ones who grub money. i used to own a Xbox, and now a ps3, and the Xbox controlls better, but The ps3 has better support (free support)

anyway i'll go with graphics and "the MW2 is awesome, and anything not like it is shit" term

*edit* God Damnit i just fed a troll

no actually that was sarcasm >.>
and wasn't that good of a reason, though i stick by it

 

[Wordslinger]

The dumbest reason that I've ever heard (and unfortunately still hear constantly) is "Dude, that game looks gay". No elaboration, no explanation, nothing. How the hell can a game look gay (well, aside from the obvious...)? Whenever I try to play Final Fantasy around other people, I get told that Final Fantasy is gay, looks gay, etc.
