Stupidest thing you've heard someone say a 'real gamer' does.

[Sven und EIN HUND]

Now, not to delve into details, but I know a very stupid person, who also happens to pirate things. He believes that himself, and only a select few others a 'real gamers'. Let's see why, shall we children?

-Real gamers pirate a game, and then pay money if they think it's worth it!

-Real gamers don't play games with cover systems! (He says, while playing Gears of war 2, still saying he's a real gamer.)

-Real gamers know that any first person game that tries to not be a FPS is obviously bad!

-Real gamers should only play the PC ever! (He says, while playing Gears of war 2, still saying he's a real gamer.)

Anyway, enough of the retardation in my hometown. How about you lot?

I question your friend's motives.

Anyway, as for real gamers....Hmmm.....Hmmm..... Well, I've heard a lot of people reference certain games as requiring more skill, therefore people playing those games are automatically more skilled. Otherwise I've got nothing.

"Real gamers play PC."

"Real gamers hate Smash Bros." Now, I personally don't like Brawl/Melee/the original, but Nintendo fans are some of the most hardcore gamers out there.

 

[Sethzard]

Real gamers 100% every game they get...

That is possibly the dumbest thing i've ever heard, actually, it might be beaten by real gamers play fps'

 

[BillyShakes]

"Real gamers only play FPS games."

Idiot gamers only play FPS games. An FPS every now and again is good, but you're missing out on 80% of the industry; the better part of the industry.

The dumbest thing, or rather, the most prejudiced thing I've heard someone say about "real gamers" was something along the lines of: "All real gamers are hopeless social rejects who will never ever find someone willing to give them a pity fuck let alone love them." Not in those exact words obviously, but since I've heard this sort of nonsense a lot, I thought I'd bring it up since this is a statement that is uttered exclusively by people who have either A) haven't played a game since the original Super Mario Bros., or B) have never played a game in their entire life, and never plan to do so.

Probably get pregnant as a teen. Way to go, chinese social research teams.

edit....OK REAL gamers. Having a microwave next to your rig, to avoid losing gaming time to eating.

Real gamers set up in the bathroom on the toilet to avoid losing gaming time to take a dump while eating a burrito from there microwave that's next to there rig...

 

[ctrl-alt-postal]

"real" gamers also have 2-4 xbox 360 controllers signed into halo3 so they don't loose that 5 seconds respawn time.....

 

[Ham_authority95]

Anyone who ever says "real gamer" without referencing and/or satirising someone elses idiocy is probably a moron.

I second this

 

[Volafortis]

Any depiction the would make a "real gamer" actually be a "fanboy".

 

[Ulfsson]

"Real gamers only play multiplayer"

:O

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

"Games are murder simulators that turn people into murdering, raping psychopaths that don't deserve to live and should be exterminated the moment they even LOOK at a game. Anyone that says otherwise isn't a real gamer and has, in fact, never looked at a video game and are instead as brain-dead as gamers and spout the bullshit the gamers can't say because they're too busy planning to blow up their entire city, rape their teachers, and become gay Al-Qaida terrorists."-Jack Thompson, paraphrased.

"Only real gamers hate Sonic the Hedgehog."-Every moron ever.

I would like to second everything you've just said.

"Real gamers don't play on the Wii". *Smacks forehead in frustration*
"If you haven't played Halo then you don't deserve to say you have played a good game."
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE. HALO IS OKAY, BUT IT'S NOT AWE-INSPIRING. [/end short Halo rant]

 

[bride_of_lister]

The old "you're not a real gamer because you play X" gets to me. Why yes I do play Professor Layton that would be because I really do enjoy puzzles.

(And I play Cooking Mama because it was a gift from a friend and not because I think it's adorable. Promise. Really.)

 

[RanD00M]

"True gamers only play Halo3".

That was spammed over mic in CoD4 on the PS3.

 

[CloggedDonkey]

'What's a Nintendo 64?'

my 10 year old neighboor thinks pokemon started with diamond & pearl.

poor, poor child
but any way: "reel gamarz only ply HALO teh gretezzzzzt of al gamezzz evarzorzzzzz lololololzzzzzzzzzzz!!!111" that is about it for me.

'A real gamer will have food encrusted into his/her controller/keyboard...'
Wait... Ewww xD

lol they should just dip the burrito in grease and throw it in the toilet. Cut out the middle man.

as for "Real Gamers"

"Real Gamers never used cheats" I go through the game once without, then once I have beaten it I use cheats like non other to make the game more enjoyable and thats the reason gamers play games. for fun. If all you care about is competition you are an incredibly huge prick. I use cheats like infinite ammo, or the DK mode in Golden eye for example simply to make the game more fun (DK mode) or get the challenge out of the way (ammo)...

and

This is a personal
"Real Halo players arent dumb enough to touch vehicles on sand traps if there are rocket launchers." This was over heard during a game with a bunch of guys at my college. I made 13 splatter kills out of the 50 kill limit for my team using a chopper! And then 5 more on a warthog.

"real gamers know how to smack talk" ..... well so do the Irish but everybody just gives us remarks about being drunks....

 

[DashRollRush]

"A real gamer has played retro games"

A little different from the guys you're all talkin' about, eh?
But, yeah, while I can understand the reasoning behind this, a connoisseur of any art should have more then just a cursory knowledge of his obsession, and many of those games are exceptional; I feel that one should not NEED to have played them.

 

[FaceFaceFace]

Real gamers play games.

At least thats my opinion.

 

[fanklok]

Real gamers 100% every game they get...

actually I kinda do that (maybe not every game but most of them I try to do so but its not like I'll play a game for 70 hours a week trying to do it, it's more like well I'm bored by this game I should go back to that other one and see if I can get that unlockable

any way ontopic
