"Umm....you're missing the point..."

My brother is constantly comparing Bioshock to Halo because I love Bioshock and not Halo, and he loves Halo, and not Bioshock.

"Halo has way better shooting mechanics and action, and graphics."

He just doesn't get it. I'm an RPG gamer, I love story and atmosphere, something that Halo is lacking almost completely.

Anytime anyone anywhere complains about graphics, that's missing the point.

In FFXIII whenever my neighbor comes over to play he starts button mashing through the ATB bar + fight scene. It's not going to do anything differently! xD

Yeah, i know a lot of people that won't try saints row 1 or 2 because their GTA purists and their convinced that saints row is just a dumb knock off, when their suppior games. you can talk up the graphics and story and realism all you want but in the end i found GTA 4 to be boring as hell (and i loved GTA Up until the incredably buggy San Andreas). The Saints Row games are rediculous but fun and in many ways have improved on the old GTA formula (the aiming system being the biggest one).

People who chastise GTA IV for not being as ridiculous and over the top as the older games, to me, are completely missing the point. Rockstar purposefully de-constructed the theme of the previous generation. GTA III era games all acted like it was awesome to be a gangster, sure there were setbacks, but you could always overcome it and kill everyone. They were also, looking back, very juvenile. When IV came around, the series went the other way and showed how shit the life can be, how much it messes you and those around you up. It wasn't trying to be the previous generation, it wasn't trying to outdo San Andreas in the "zomg jetpacks and fighter planes and naked BASE jumping" stakes, it eschewed all that in favour of a more mature and frankly amazing narrative. Hell, it's probably only called GTA because it's basic gameplay is the same, "kill people, shoot things, steal cars" which has been there since the first game.

I for one loved it and wish people would stop ragging on it for not being San Andreas II. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's still one of the best games ever made. If you want more San Andreas...go fucking play San Andreas (or Just Cause 2).

FF XIII apparently the point is being on the run and chased but people cry for blood for it being linear. Sorry if it doesn't make sense to you while you can't grind and camp in a huge environment while you're supposedly running away.

2)Why level up any other Pokemon? Maybe this might be something I do, but I have never found a reason to level up any other Pokemon besides my starter, especially with some of the moves they get later on, they can become powerhouses against their weakness types, and can usually steamroll the Elite Four. I've done this so far with every Pokemon game to date without fail...then just go back and put an EXP Share on the Pokemon I want to level up/evolve, and just do constant Elite Four runs....but maybe that just me.

im glad someone finally identified how appallingly OP blastoise was in RBY. i tanked the game with that (and of course the invincible fricking Alakaspam).

however, these days pokemon has not "gone downhill," its just alienated a lot of people. so many folks still associate it with "just being a kids game" and absolutely miss the point in my opinion. with RBY and even GSC, it was just "load up on really strong pokemon and throw power moves at each other until one of us is dead"-style gaming. 3rd-gen turned it all on its head with such ridiculous innovations as Ludicolo (arguably the game's most annoying and well-suited Toxic-staller) and the move Overheat (without this move and its alternate-type counterparts, half of all Choice Specs strategies would look remarkably different). the 4th-gen special-physical split REALLY threw thing into motion: all of a sudden, good pokemon like Gyarados and Flygon received huge advantages by gaining access to their previously difficult to use same-type moves. at the same time, Stealth Rock took the entire pro battling community by storm. so yeah, sure, just keep training your starters. that way, youll get swept by an oddish when you try and prove how good you are. dont believe it can happen? click here:

While I don't herald it as a symbol of perfect gaming, I think everyone misunderstood Far Cry 2. When you are given a mission, most people groan at the massive distance they have to cover, knowing they will be attacked numerous times along the way.

If GTA3 had never existed, then this exact game would be MORE FUN.

The idea is the same as any other linear shooter, for that amount of time. You don't "GROAN" about how you have to go all the way through Ravenholm and City 17 to reach the Citadel and the end of the game in Half-Life 2. You don't GROAN about having to carve through a bunch of enemies in Halo. It's a part of the challenge, and pretty much the main idea of the game. You're not time-limited, and you can even tackle it however you want.

If the combat ITSELF is not fun in FC2, then that's its own problem; one I mainly agree with, and is usually remedied if you outfit yourself with unusual weapons like the RPG, flare gun, and dart rifle.

How about buying World of Warcraft accounts?

What's the point of buying an already leveled up character in an RPG?

Losers.

People on the wow pvp / achievement forums pleading to people in battlegrounds to not kill them while trying to do the "School of Haard Knocks" achievement .. it seems a little defeatist to turn an achievement into something given.

Those morons who complain endlessly about the drop system in Team Fortress 2. You almost think they've forgotten it's a game, and if you're spending more time waiting for cosmetic character upgrades to appear than actually playing it, you've stopped treating it as one. It makes me almost want to shout "If you want a toy to play dress-up with, buy a freaking Barbie doll and GTFO my shootan gaem!" ... accusations of sexism be damned.

For me it seems everyone missed the point of the south park episode where they were just rehashing old jokes, and everyone complained that they didn't show Mohammad(sp?), but it seemed to me like that was the joke. If you want proof, then ask yourself, why was the entire end of episode speech censered? It's not like the entire speech was them saying Mohammad, was it?
