What is the most rediculous thing someone has said to you as a matter of fact about a video game...

[hypothetical fact]

"Fallout 3 is a shooter"

I've heard something similar. A friend who thinks that Oblivion is superior to fallout 3, because Fallout 3 is 'just like any other shooter'

*despairs*

It aint a shooter, but he does have a point, Oblivion is superior to Fallout 3, that and its alot more original, when i played Fallout 3 i just kept laughing at everything they just copy-pasted from The Elder Scrolls series, only thing i saw that i thought was imaginative was the VATS system, which was sorta imaginative, though it did take the difficulty out of the game by allowing you to pretty much always slow down time and shoot the baddies, and once you ran out, you just spammed a couple of shots and you had full RAD again, easy as hell.

What exactly did they copy paste from Oblivion into Fallout 3 other than the game engine which they updated anyway?

"Theres loads of people online the playstaion network"

"Really?"

"Sure!"

LIES!

This is completely unnecessary. There are.

Every thread doesn't have to be about console war.

"I'm gonna buy a Xbox 360"

I always laugh when my mate tells me that lol.

I don't get it does he say that all the time?


OP:
I borrowed a friend's NES and he was absolutely convinced you couldn't play as HammerBros. Mario in Mario3. Just because he hadn't done it and he wouldn't go back to the underwater level where it happened. We never did sort that out and I don't see him anymore.

Someone please tell me they've done this as well.

just about everything i saw during the hour i played it was pretty much Oblivion but Steampunk instead of fantasy, ranging from character animations (jumping, talking, running), to subtle things like how the conversations work and how you can improve your skills in bartering by trying a line over and over again until it works, that mechanic i saw back when Morrowind was new, also it seems to have the same glitches as the earlier ones, which isnt a big suprise seeing as its pretty much just an updated version with Steampunk as theme and not Fantasy, for example, the ability to gain unlimited currency through a npc glitching out.

But all in all, its a copy-pasted game, its VERY obvious its the same creators who did the Elder Scrolls series, which is a bad thing in this case seeing as they arent even close to each other in neither story nor theme.

Cant remember who told me this one

"You can get a chocobo that can fly in space in FF7" and linked me to a site with a poorly photoshopped picture of Cloud riding a chocobo with a space background.
It got worse though when they started telling me some crap about flying to another planet and fighting a giant gnome who was an alternate boss fight to sephiroth. I wondered what this person had been smoking at the time...

Some random kid was practically shouting this, due to how loud his voice was, on a bus. Bear in mind this is a normal bus full of normal people, not school children or gamers.

To his friend-
'MAN- I *&^%ING LOVE HALO, THE WAY THE HEADS EXPLODE IS JUST GREAT. I LOVE FRAGGING ALL THOSE NOOB PLAYERS. LOL'

He then goes on 'WHY THE *&^%ING HELL WOULD ANYONE WANT TO PLAY OTHER GAMES, HALO JUST WINZ (I kid you not, he said winz) OVER EVERYTHING ELSE'.

That kid was so close to a beating. Not for his opinion, misguided as it was, but that he had set the perceptions of gamers back 10 years for everyone on the bus.

 

[Dudemeister]

This was a few years back:
"Have you played Vice City yet?"
"I have!"
"You don't even have a PS2 yet."
"No, because I have the PS1 version"
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Really?"
"Yes, really."
"Then how did they manage to fit the game on a PS1 disk?"
"It's, err, multi disk, it has five disks"
"Retard."

'Half-life is a mod for Counter-Strike' - Need I say more?

'To duplicate items in Diablo 2, press Alt and F4' - mind you, I claimed it worked just to annoy a couple of n00bs.

I work at GameStop, and some kid walked up to me and asked for Halo on PS2. I told him that it didn't exist, so he laughs and turns to my manager, "You hired this *****? You need to train these people better, she don't know shit."
My manager backed me up, called the kid a fuckwad, and kicked him out.

He had one of his friends come in and harass us some more... Damn kids.

That would happen a lot, especially with parents I would imagine. For reasons beyond me branding and "exclusives" don't exist in the video game world, hence those jock idiots.

Ignorant fucking cretins. Everything Games Workshop makes that people say they stole from Blizzard predates everything Blizzard has ever made.

This qualifies too.

The settings are very similar due to GW hiring Blizzard to make a WH game for them and then can it after Blizzard made the entire game for them so instead of letting themselves go bankrupt they changed some names and released it on their own. Turns out the game was a goldmine so they make a sequel, an expansion for it, a sci-fi spinoff, an expansion for that, another sequel with an expansion and a mmo with at this date, two exansions. GW was ofcourse kicking themselves in the head for their idiodicy so to cover up their decable for their shareholders they convinced their fans that EVERYTHING was Blizzard's fault and nor the fact that the games they license are typicaly crap nowadays(need i cite soulstorm?), their once interesting background material turned into a Smurfs fanwank and that they charge a rediculous ammount of money for their minis.($100 for a squad of Necron Immortals). Then they begged EA to make them rich again and were given EA Mythic, which took WoW, poured a bucket of grimdark on it, left the hype machine running overnight and called it a warhammer game.

Name me one thing other then "psuedo medival setting" that war invented and was later copied by wow. And by "war" and "wow" i mean the games "Age of Reckoning" and "World of Warcraft" and not "gw's entire ip range and everything licenced thereoff" and "wrath of the lich king" as people like you seem to read it more often then not.

Oh, and i dare you to call the protoss a ripoff of the tau.

Sorry, that wasn't clear.

You're right. It is a fallacy, I hear it too.

I had a my roommate actually have a go at me cos I took him of WoW. I'm not a basher, but if a 20 year old gets angry cos he has to stop playing video games for 5 minutes... then an assessment of the quality of life is overdue.
