Stupidest reason to shoot down a game

[Palademon]

Because God said it's evil.

I have been called stupid for this, but I refuse to pay money to any game having direct ties to the disney corp. Now for the most part, thats not a problem, but it did become somewhat aggravating finding out that Kingdom hearts is actually a fairly good game.

Hate disney with a passion. The nazi support thing is bad enough. But I cant do it now thanks to "old yeller syndrome"

Morrowind: The movement speed is too slow.

...what? You get faster as you go along!

If you really want to go quickly, jump everywhere. That's what all the cool people do

Plus that gives you Acrobatics levels, which is governed by strength, so an easy way to gain additional strength bonus...
Which leads me onto my first of 2 favourite excuses for not liking a game.
1: "I don't want to have to think!!!11!onehundredandeleven!!" - I do understand this one, sometimes you just want to blast away for shits and gigs. But really, a friend of mine bought an RTS, then complained about having to plan out attacks and stuff. Really, that's the whole idea of the genre?
2: "It's different from the prequels" - I'm looking at you XCOM. I think this game looks pretty damn awesome. My friend said (paraphrasing here, it was 2 weeks ago) "It's is a shit game because it isn't XCOM." So what? It's a game, and it looks fun. Who cares if it isn't the same thing?

"It looks kiddy."

Translation: It uses colors other than gunmetal grey and diarrhea brown.

"The reviewers said it was terrible"

Yahtzee said it was terrible.


I honestly believe 90% of the people here think that way......

that's why sometimes I think about switching to another gaming site....-_-

Name one review where Yahtzee was wrong...

LoL, I can't tell if you're joking or being serious..XP

I'm not being entirely serious, but it is the Philosophy of Yahtzee's to express is opinion of a game regardless of its hype or it's franchise, so it's pretty likely that his reviews are going to be more accurate than other reviewers, other than that if you really really like labradoodles and a game comes out about labradoodles and it's shit, I don't think that's going to stop you playing it. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what reviewers think although I've found what I like is pretty similar to what Yahtzee likes so it's probably a good thing that I trust his reviews (with a level of cynicism) because I'm poor and can't afford shit games.

To date I have never played a game before or after seeing the same Yahtzee review and gone "OMG what a load of horseshit that game wuz teh awesome". Yahtzee is and will always be my favourite video game reviewer but if he's not in to the same thing you are and he's not into labradoodles then you don't have to listen to his opinion.

I hate that, a freind of mine used that as his reason for not buying TF2.

 

[Ildecia]

people who say graphics are just plain dumb.
some dumbshit- "I dont play vide games cause the graphics suck; i'd rather play with my yu-gi-oh cards, they have better graphics"
me- "you sir are god damn stupid."

people who ***** about realistics
some dumbshit- "how can you carry more than 2 guns? This game blows because you can carry moe than 2 guns."
me- "dude, they give you more than 2 guns BECAUSE you need more than 2 guns for each situation. not gonna snipe with my shotgun"
Some Dumbshit- "i can snipe with a shotgun."
me- "dude... you're so fucking dumb."

 

[Anezay]

I actually think that passing up a game due to what console it's on is a valid reason if you don't have that console. You know, because I'm sane.
Anyway, it's not from your preferred genre is one that pisses me off.

 

[Brightzide]

Friend''It looks too easy'' ...Me: ''You do realise you can probably increase the difficulty settings right?''. I think that was for Gears of War 2 the other year

 

[xXAsherahXx]

Graphics, the number one stupidest reason of all time would be graphics. Who honestly gives a shit. If the game is bad, then it is the story, or mechanics, or it isn't your genre, but it should never be graphics. They don't affect a game at all, not even a little bit. A game's story or mechanics won't be skewed just because the graphics are terrible or something.

.../rant

I love when people who don't know what "graphics" are complain about how graphics mean nothing.
let me try to explain something to you people, nes games had good graphics sometimes. Graphics are just images, a game with good graphics is a game with fun or entertaining images. Not "realistic" or "high tech" but just fun to look at. Do you think Super mario would be as famous as it is today if it wasn't for the way everything in the world seemed alive in it's own fantasy universe?
Seriously people like you are the ones blindly jumping on the bandwagon. Graphics are just as important, if not more important than story because a game with great graphics, ok game play but horrible story can be great while a game with great story but horrible graphics and ok game play will usually be forgotten.
Saints row had great graphics, the world came to live with vibrant colors and comicy setting.
Seriously, i get it. You think graphics are "how real it looks" but it's not, and if you think graphics don't matter at all, go play a text based game and tell me how you enjoyed it. Seriously, that is a game with no graphics, please go tell me how much fun you had with words.

Oh, I'm sorry, I should have gone with the version of the term that no one uses. That would have made my point absolutely clear. Thank you, sir.

Also, I like text based games. Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Final Fantasy I, and II for example.

I don't know if I already posted a few months ago, but "The graphics suck."

 

[Ace of Spades]

"Kirby games suck because he's pink."
....... STUPID!

I'm really tempted to make a "He sucks" joke here.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

Probably when they say a game stinks because you are better at it.

Example:
I recently had a competition with someone to see who could find the most garden gnomes in Fallout 3.
Intact were worth three points, and damaged were worth one.
I had found plenty of both, so he suddenly decided to quit the game entirely.
When I asked why, he said it was because he didn't have the time to waste on an obviously lame game.
I found this preposterous, and asked another friend if he knew why.
The friend mentioned that my competitor had complained about my mound of gnomes and sulked.
Now isn't that just childish? If nothing else, just quit the competition and continue to play the damn game.

 

[Caradinist]

Really it's the most common stupid reasons that get me.

World of Warcraft will get you so many ignorant and stupid reasons, you can't keep track of them.

 

[Iffat Nur]

Too kiddy.
I think we know who we are talking about.

Graphics
duh -.-

Its not on my fav system (does not apply to the fact u dont have it)
Suck it, Brawl was good, but its on the Wii. Doesnt mean u should take it (although I recommend a GameCube controller or Classic Controller to be included)

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

On Gears of War.

Friend: It's a bad game.
Me: WHAT?! Are you high? It's like the best multiplayer game availble on consoles (Even though I said this in 2007, I maintain this remains the same of the original today)
Friend: Nah it sucks, you move to slowly -
Me: - Hold A to run idiot.
Friend: It's third person and I have to get in cover -
Me: Yeah that's why it's good! Add's a dimension to the game.
Friend: It's not enough like Halo, aiming is too hard
Me: *facepalm* you don't deserve to own a video game console.

 

[Romidude]

A friend of mine once said a game would definately suck(Can't remember which one) because it was on a console he didn't own.
