Threads that have been overdone on the Escapist.

[Xdeser2]

"X-game is Worse/Better Than everyone is claiming it to be"

"How Modern pop music/Reality TV/ Bro Shooters are terrible and destroying our cultured society"

"Americans are Crazy"

"Wahh Stop liking what I dont Like!!"

"THE FUCKING FRIEND ZONE MAAANNN!!"


I like the Escapist, But there are defiantly some rough spots in the forums at times lol

 

[The Pumpkin Witch]

Threads about tapioca pudding. And threads asking for advice about books/shows no one has ever heard of.

Amoebic dysentery threads are passe' as well.

 

[Shinsei-J]

How has no one said drowning yet.
Those were overdone and I personally hope they never return.
Also almost everything in R&P.
That stuff is wack and has almost always come up before.

 

[bastardofmelbourne]

Based on my limited time lurking and even shorter time posting;

- ME3 ending rants
- gender wars threads
- just recently, gun control threads

 

[King of Asgaard]

People who pick up Dark Souls after hearing how difficult it is, only to find it to be 'easy', or to get horribly murdered and so come here to complain about how it's a terrible game.
It's become more frequent of late, and its hilarity never diminishes.

Ironically, threads about repeated thread topics are very common

shame on you OP

 

[General Twinkletoes]

Not so much a topic, but a titles. "X, Y, and you", for example "Mass effect 3, video game endings and you." I don't know what it is, but ending a title with "and you." just sounds obnoxious to me. As for topics, probably the ME3/Dark souls threads that pop up a few times a week. I'm not interested in either game, so the amount of threads can get a little annoying. There are more of those than there are MLP threads :/

Also the flamewar topic of the week, whatever it is. Feminism, gun control, I don't care. Doesn't matter what it is, it almost always ends with a ridiculous fight that became a circular argument on both sides 5 pages earlier.

 

[Zhukov]

ME3's ending.

Just... just stop.

I don't care if you hated it, loved it, liked it, were ambivalent about it, want to explain it, want it explained to you... whatever. Every single thing you want to say has been heard by every single person here at least a dozen times. Same goes for every single thing that other people will say in reply to your thread.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

All of them.
Being a daily visitor for around 3 years will do that to ya.

Old'scapists!

Assemble!

OT: People are still talking about the ME3 ending. What could possibly be discussed about that game that hasn't been said eleventy billion times before.

Yep. I know that feel, buddy.

I also knew that this would happen. It always does on a thread like this.

 

[Risingblade]

Why are the game and anime recommendations up there? Those are always different because new things come out and people have different tastes :/

 

[WWmelb]

Everything Dark Souls apart from people seriously asking for in game help. Even though i keep contributing to them. Again and again.

From Software will make their game. It will be great i'm sure. Leave it up to them what to include and enjoy the outcome.

 

[Rawne1980]

or maybe your just a shit parent?

Please, share your vast knowledge of how i'm a shit parent.

 

[drh1975]

Cover songs that are better/worse than the original.
Favorite movie/game/literary/TV quotes.
Thing you love/hate that everyone else hates/loves.
There are probably more, but those are my top three.

 

[FFP2]

-Dumbass people that play Dark Souls and make a thread about how much they don't like it/how easy it is(I'm one of them) and the dumbass DS fanboys that refuse to believe that their precious game isn't the greatest thing to ever happen to gaming.
-ME3 in general. It's done. We get it.
-Anime threads. I actually don't mind these threads because each one tends to not have the exact same suggestions as other ones, and it's how I discovered PSG.
-Any recommend threads apart from the anime ones. They tend to be the same replies every single time.
-Pony threads. I have never seen this many bronies in one place. Not complaining, just astounded.
-Console threads. They all have their pros and cons, get over always having to have the unanimous best one.

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

When you've been here as long as some of us have, then you tend to see pretty much every topic under the sun. As is the case, very little surprises me these days.

That being said, lately it's been the anime threads. My eyes just glaze over upon attempting to read through them.

Ugh.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Let see (trying not to repeat what others had said already)-
How did you become a brony/ why should I was MLP:MiS/ Why is it good, pretty much anything MLP related threads.
How I loose faith/ faith restore in humanity.
Mass Effect 3 ending related.
[insert game] suck because...
Hate for Jimquestion/ Moviebob or any Escapist show etc.
Half Life 3 related thread.

EDIT- Thanks to recent new threads made, I just remember these-

Games as art/ not art
Fake gamer girls
Wallpaper or stuff you want to show off.
Retro stuff like toys, fad and etc.

 

[Guffe]

All of them.

baziing!

Yeah there aren't really any new "hot topics" around every day so usually most are being repeated, some more some less.
Gender, Console Wars...
Then there are of course the controversial ones like a certain scene/ending/story/character of a certain game/book/movie which has been maybe overdone yes but it dies out in a month or so.

Then again you can usually see on the headline of the topic if you want to jump into it or not
I just think it's a good thing people re-do threads in stead of necroing 5 months old threads because no ones going to read the answer on page 13 if there are 45 pages in a thread that has been necroed for the 5th time.

I searched nothing and nothing came up, so I made this thread. Topaz alerted me he had done something similar, and I was truly sorry. My lurking doesn't catch everything.
