Weirdest Reason For Not Liking a Game?

[Cooperblack]

Friend :"I've stopped playing Star trek online".
Me :"well i can't blame you that is a awful game".
Friend :"No i love the game it's just..".
Me :"What?"
Friend :"You know how you can trade your bridge officers in the auction house?"
Me :"Yeah..so?"
Friend :"That's slavery.."
Me :"I think you're taking this just a bit to serious.."
Friend :"I know i know.. but it's still slavery".
Me :"oookay.. i'm just gonna go over here for a while.."

Games which claim to have a shred of realism or simulate modern combat then fuck up large chunks of realism:

E.g. - In MW2, the L86A2 LSW is reloaded entirely with the right hand, the only weapon to do so. In real life the SA80 series of weapons are loaded entirely with the left hand.

My friend will never PVP in WOW because he 'opposes the war' he even wrote a 5 page dissertation on how much of an affront it is.

I have to say the whole excuse of 'because we were enemies in the past' is getting kind of old when there is giant death dragons and zombie kings wandering around. But it is just a game.

Your post inspired me to spend 45 minutes finding this:

Here's one: I don't like Call of Duty games because pretty much everyone I know does. That isn't just "rebelling against the prevailing taste consensus" going on, I've literally had to endure watching gameplay of those games, or listening to people talk about gameplay of those games, for so fucking long and so often that it just warped my opinion of them. You try having to endure living with 3 people who between them probably played Modern Warfare 2 non-stop for 24 hours a day, for a whole year, without forming a deep loathing of the product.

Over-exposure: it's a *****.

El Shaddai, I will probably never buy because after seeing it advertised so much on here I just got sick of it.

I don't like El Shaddai because it beat me to death with ads. And they weren't even good ads, either.

It's apparently one of the most highly anticipated games of the year. Then why haven't I heard of it until you started shoving the ads in my face every time I try to watch ZP?

I was trying to get my friend to try Amnesia: The Dark Descent and after about 3 minutes of playing he quit... When I asked him wy he said "because it's Luigi's Manion with better graphics"

This is the same friend that didn't like Bioshock because "you spend too much time underwater"

now I'm curious... what's his taste in games?

Other than CoD and GTA 4, he doesn't play much...

It was the PS3 version, I just bought it a couple of days ago. And yes he has no sense of humor, not a really good one anyway.

I really dislike JRPG's because of the art style and terrible character design, it makes me feel like I'm at a gay pride parade. That's not the only reason though, the game's just bore me to death too.

 

[Gorilla Gunk]

I probably won't play the new Deus Ex because the main character looks like a twat.

 

[Cheezeypoofs]

Not completely the same thing, but I kept getting distracted during The Lord of the Rings because I kept hearing Spyro instead of Frodo. Frodo would have had a better time getting stabbed if he had remembered to feed Sam some butterflies first.

i hate games without autosave. it ruined mass effect 1 for me. yeah, it had an autosave but it only kicked in at like the start of every level. if you died 3 quarters in you had to start all over. thats why PC gaming is superior. Quicksave key ftw.

 

[bobert17]

Half life 2 because I didn't like the shooting element. Can't really give any specifics but the shooting just didn't feel right to me. Yeah.

i felt that way but only when playing it on the console. the shooting on the pc version felt much more natural. im not trying to make the argument that mouse and keyboard is superior to a controller. but for half life 2, it definitely felt alot more fluent.

I didnt like Fabel 2 because there wasnt a Hero's guild

Someone else who cares about that! Although I did have Fable 2 I really didn't enjoy it. One of the things that really pissed me off was how they pretty much destroyed all the amazing lore they built up from the first game! I hated that! The game felt it was totally unrelated to the first and was a disappointment in every respect. I loath that game, especially because the first was so good.

The only weird reason for not liking a game I can think of is that once someone told me they didn't like Forza because it was too realistic.

Friend: "because its dumb"
Me: "How is angry birds dumb?"
Friend: "Because it sucks, its lame?"
Me: "....."

I didn't like Final Fantasy IX solely because I didn't like the art style of the game.

That wasn't the best point to choose, I agree. It's just something that a modern war simulation should maybe notice.

Anyway, welcome to The Escapist, try to stay out of the basement!

OT: I despise the Uncharted games because they do absolutely nothing original or interesting, yet are universally praised as some of the best games ever made. About halfway through I set Uncharted 2 to "Very Easy" difficulty just because I wanted to get through with the damn thing faster. I can't get past a completely generic, run-of-the-mill adventure/shooter game being so highly praised because they're exceptionally pretty. I don't begrudge the people who enjoy them, I just don't.

I agree with you entirely. That's why I hate Halo.
