Friend:This game is bad
Me: Why?
Friend: Because I suck at it
I mean, wtf? you can't judge a game based on your ability to play it...

XYZ reivewer said he/she didn't like it.
While I will grant that if every reviewer all say the game is complete and utter garbage, that is one thing. But if, say one specific reviewer gives it a 2 out of 5 stars, that doesn't mean you should instantly discount the game. Reviewers, for the most part, write to the mainstream gamer. Your average gamer might not appreciate a game's length, complexity or anal attention to detail (like a super-realistic war sim) but there are some gamers for whom those 'flaws' are shining stars.
The most important thing is to know what you like, then read the reviews and see if the things that you like are done well or poorly (or are even present at all)

Welllll, maybe you can. Not a measure of the game exactly, but aren't games supposed to be enjoyed? If you don't enjoy it, it's bad for you yes?Darth_Dude said:
Because it's on *system here* or it looks like a kiddy game, or the graphics suck. or because person A said it was bad. or because its not COD
I hate it when I hear "Because the control sucks" on a PC game. Most of the time on a PC game you can change the controls.
Being at the other end of that spectrum(being a musician who don't like the Hero series), I can say that most oftenly it's musicians being tired of the over-inflated Guitar Hero players going "Oh man, I can play -insert song name- on expert! I'm so hardcore!", when the musicians can play those songs in real life, but even still, the (Non-)Guitar Heros consider themself superior to the musicians.Chrono180 said:
I know, but she does it for EVERYTHING, it's so frustrating. And she doesn't even bother to try and get better at it. And I mean, she's pretty bad at games and when theres a perfectly good game she just brushes it off and moves on, its like a cycle.VonBrewskie said:
Or maybe I'm overreacting and need to get some sleep...
I feel a disturbance in the force... no wait, that's just my organs turning inside out from the stupid waves.Gamegirl22 said:
OT: My nine-year-old brother hates a game if it's too hard for him.
Well, apart from the whole "there are no dedicated servers thing"...
I'd have to go with people who dismissed Heavy Rain after seeing the playthrough of the first hour or something. They said it was a Sims clone.
I am not kidding.
So, yeah, wrong assumptions are the stupidest reasons to shoot down games.

Okay, your friend needs to get a life. No offense, but that is just messed up. Everyone knows that gameplay is the most important part of a game. Graphics just let you make out what the hell is going on.omega_peaches said:
And just because a game is on the Wii doesn't mean it automatically sucks. That's fanboyism to think so.
Carry that back to your friend, would you kindly.
Oh no! Are those some form of color out of the grey-to-black spectrum!? My eyes! The bright, enjoyable, easy to interpret graphics, characters, and enemies burn my eyes! Please, no more! NO! NOT THE SECONDARY COLORS, TOO!!!
As well as: No multiplayer, no game. I need to own some noobs on *Random Map Name* before I can deal with any plot!
Also: It's not hardcore! No one has a beard, there aren't any shooting weapons, and there aren't any eff'd up looking face-hugger things! Where's my gore, man!?
And last but not least: No way am I buying this piece of crap, no good, bag-of-ass game! It doesn't have the full amount of pixels on the screen to give me the best graphics! I NEED those three pixels! I NEED those graphics! I haven't even played the game and I already know it sucks!

Kirby would have to absorb the stupid. Kirby doesn't deserve that!Seristal said:

everyone who has said it takes no skill are the people who lose all three lives in the first stage. Then walk away complaining.
I've gotten close to the kill screen once, then someone came up behind me and startled me, causing sue to eat me and take my last life. They were not talked to for a month.
I know people like that, but like my grandma used to say, "get some sleep sweetie. it'll look better when you wake up." Sleep well m'friend. Sorry I called you sweetie by proxy. My grandma was in World War II though, so she's totally BA.Darth_Dude said:
whoo. let 'em off easy huh? not killing a person that distracts you from hitting the kill screen in pac-man is a mitzvah I believe. Good for you! (No, I'm not Jewish, but I love the word and concept of mitzvah!)F-I-D-O said:
