The most annoying kind of gamer?

[Bovver]

the majority of my friends online and in real life. such as "odst sucks ass" why? "no multiplayer" hmm and "(insert game here) is crap get cod" and the top 2 games on thier played games is cod 42 and badcompany 2. heres a thought you buy some other games that arnt "realistic" war shooters.

those 10-year-old kids who shout in my ear about how they are so much better than me and then yell "YOUR A FUCKING HACKOR SO GO FUCK YOUR FUCKING FUCK FUCK I AM 29..." when I beat them in the end.
I have a question for you kiddies, ever had sex with a girl?
no?
I WIN!!!

Graphics whores. We all know at least one person like this: the dude (and its almost always a dude as far as I can tell) who doesn't touch classics or the good low-budget games because they're not photorealistic or bump-mapped or whatever they say these days.

 

[NotAPie]

The "You're not a REAL gamer unless you've played X" elitist type.

It's doubly funny if the kid is half your age, because this is a suitable rebuttal:
"Dude, I've been gaming while you were in your mother's womb. Hush yourself."

Ugh...YES.
I can't fucking tell you how many times I get this...

 

[Blatherscythe]

The racist, pre-pubesent, squeaky voiced gamers that inhabit the lobbies of Halo 3. Those bastards piss me the FUCK off!

 

[Regiment]

The "You're not a REAL gamer unless you've played X" elitist type.

I may dislike cheaters, and egomaniacs, and griefers, and idiots, but these people take the cake. Maybe it's just my tendency to take nothing seriously, but video games are toys, nothing more, and there aren't tiers of fandom. Games are not serious business.

I can't stand the Stop Having Fun Guys types who look down their noses at anyone who'd rather tinker with a game and find something that works for them rather than go to GameFAQs or some wiki and look up how to get THE MOST DPS in every possible situation.

Then again, there's this sort of thing, which is a really good way to miss the point of a game. I mean, if a game had an option at the beginning to jump straight to the ending, I wouldn't hit it, and if a multiplayer game had a "explode all enemies" button, I'd avoid it because it's not fun. See above re: games are toys and supposed to be fun.

When I run smack-dab into a turrent or, say, a demoman's mines I think "Okay, what class could I use to kill that mofo?" and the lemmings seem to think "I'll just keep picking the Scout because he can outruns bullets! YEEEEAAH-. Oops, I died again. I'm going to pick the scout again!"

Well, when you're the Engineer in that scenario, it's hilarious. Agreed that it's annoying when they're your liabilities. To me, it's the mimics that are more annoying- when one player plays a class well, people come out of the woodwork to play as it. It's especially vexing when I'm the only Spy. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty good, and having three other Spies bumbling around, in bad disguises and getting into gunfights, makes it harder for me to sneak around.

Fanboys, also retail whores that deny that anything non microsoft is and always will be garbage. So, Fanboys in deeper description.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

Well, mankind in general works too.

Also, one more, stuck-up chicks who think being an ~*omg gamerrr (this ties in with the DotA-listening morons) will make them automatically the 'hot ones' to all the desperate nerdy guys. Or something. As a female gamer this drives me up a wall and down the other side. Go away.

i know! this bugs me too, because there are enough of them out there that gamer guys think i'm trying to get with them, and i'm really not (actually, gamer guys aren't my type. but then, my boyfriend is an oboist, so maybe gamer guys are worth a second look...lol). it leads to much awkwardness.

 

[thatcanadianguy]

can't i say mankind in general? lol

you sir have just earned a spot in my apocalyptic doom fortress. shall i put you down as overseer of the slaves or general of the deathsquads?


seriously though. i hate hate HAAAAATE... 2 types of gamers. both the eliteists who thing your dirt unless you spend 13 hours hatchign the mystical mcguffin egg for a pretty pink ribbon, like THEY DID

my second most hated player is the retard fucknut team killer. that twitchy little fuck running aroudn your team mates knifing or shootign them for no other reason than they can. i often make a habit of following these fuckers around and pegging them in the head [or genitals >=)]


oops i lied. i hate a 3rd kind too. i like to call these gamers 'squeeky voiced 10 year olds* these little bastards are the MOST obnoxious of the lot, and seriously needs a swift kick in their prepubescent BALLS, preferable with a big spiky boot [and to any of you said gamers out there ill gladly adminsiter said kick to the balls.]

i seriously think moderators need to be more active in the online games rooms. that or some kind of AI director. something that can deal with these gamers, and if not then at LEAST a voice filter that detects an over abundance of swearing. we all have an outburst. i wont deny it. but the occasion FUCK, SHIT or BLOODY HELL, is nothing compared to a SLEW of insults and curses. put in a language filter and if it thinkss you swore more than saaaay, twice in one sentance it gives you a warning. do it twice it mutes you for say the rest of that game. and do it again your kicked from the server. is this so hard? this also applies to you adults out there who feel the need to swear with every alternate word. its not cool and just ruins the game.

Out of all gaming types, the worst are the 'Stop having fun guys', or the ones who have to have the game played their way and their way only. These are the players who make EVERYTHING about gaming serious buisness. No room for fun, just work work work work. Everyone knows one of these particular asshats.

At the same point though, the 'Scrub' is also really annoying.

You know, I could continue on about this, but instead, I direct you all to www.tvtropes.org to go do a title search for Stop Having Fun Guys and Scrubs (not the TV show).

 

[McBurks]

13 year old Trash talkers on LIVE.

 

[EricGossett]

I have to say anyone under 15 who plays COD or halo are the worst, hell the entire XBL community is the worst....

 

[SilentVirus]

10-13 Year old racist trash talkers who constantly complain/ Brag/ cry over anything and everything. Jeez, It's hard to play online with some kid screaming "N**ger!" everytime he dies.

 

[Dr.Sean]

Those drunk/stoned potheads/drunkards who say "DURR U SHUD PLAY DIS GAEM DRUNK MAN ITS MOAR FUN IN SHIT LOLOLOLOLOLL IF UR SOBR U NRD RAJ ITS TRU"

 

[Goro]

I hate people who think their gaming experience counts for ANYTHING in the real world. I also hate people who won't play with me because I'm not very good. I'm here to have fun, how's about you let go of those precious stats for one minute and have some fun too!

 

[Robert632]

Cheaters. especially the ones that hide in walls, go to where everyone spawns, and rocket launchers everyone. With a glitched machinegun rocket launcher.

 

[ProfessorLayton]

I hate many kinds of gamers. I hate the little kids who talk on mics, people who pretend they're little kids, people who won't listen, people who forget that games were made for fun, people who let nostalgia blind them into not trying new things, people who start arguments over nothing, people who hack, people who spam, and people who make up their own set of rules like only healing heavies or only joining parties with people higher level than them.

Also, I use XD a lot mostly to be either ironic, to annoy the other team, or something funny happened and I hate "lol" so much that I would rather do a weird smiley face. Plus it's quicker.

Those drunk/stoned potheads/drunkards who say "DURR U SHUD PLAY DIS GAEM DRUNK MAN ITS MOAR FUN IN SHIT LOLOLOLOLOLL IF UR SOBR U NRD RAJ ITS TRU"

Oh, you mean the people who totally aren't drunk but are pretending to be to try and look cool? Because most of the time that's just what it is.

 

[Disney Walton]

rage quitters are annoying, and exploiters make me depressed..

but its gotta be all the young whiny gamers who dont know half of what they say and generally just call everyone hackers...

To me, it's the mimics that are more annoying- when one player plays a class well, people come out of the woodwork to play as it. It's especially vexing when I'm the only Spy. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty good, and having three other Spies bumbling around, in bad disguises and getting into gunfights, makes it harder for me to sneak around.

The lack of communication on PSN makes it very hard to strategize with my teammates (Almost no one has a mic, including me) usually people know their role and just how to use their class, but sometimes I just get people who do things that are unfathomably stupid. I play an engineer and start building a turrent, then another engineer will come and build another one right next to mine for no apparent reason. I'll play a medic and get my ubercharge up, yet my patients don't seem to grasp the concept of invincibility, hiding in corners for fear of being killed. On 2Fort someone might grab the intelligence and not run toward the base, instead preffering to stay and fight off the enemies pursuing them.
