"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?
just about everything i saw during the hour i played it was pretty much Oblivion but Steampunk instead of fantasy ...
I'm sorry to be narky, but I really feel like I can't let that "steampunk" go unchallenged.

Also, wasn't this a "matter of fact" thread? Can't say I didn't expect the bickering, though.

On-topic!

After we introduced a friend of mine to DotA, he would tell us stories about epic games he'd had, getting two refresher orbs on Lion so he could "Finger! Refresh! Finger! Refresh! Finger! Refresh!" It took some explaining to tell him that this was, in fact, impossible, as the refresher orbs shared a cooldown group, so would cool down together. He... yeah, didn't have an argument with which to retort to that.

"Pichu is the best character in Melee"
'Bowser is the best character in Melee >_>' (even though we know it's marth)

'You can get upgrades for weapons in smash bros melee' (you listening Nintendo??)

Kamiccolo (piccolo with Kami) is going to be in the next dragonball Z game (wait for it) and he has red eyes and look's similar to garlic Jr. And he has a green special beam cannon.

This was all from the same guy. Man he enjoyed lying...

EDIT: whoops I mean't Piccolo Fused with Kami.

So many people have told me Pwned is suddenly pronounced "powned", ***** don't get me started.

"Halo is way better than Half-Life 2."

"It's Call of Duty 5, not Call Of Duty: World At War."


Fucking highschoolers.
What's wrong with highschoolers? I attend highschool, the Half-life series is much better than the Halo series, and COD "5" is definitely subtitled World at War, but it's much faster to say 5 than World at War or "WAW".
I meant no ill-will towards high schoolers. I am one, I'm a sophomore, in fact. I just get tired of the ones that think they know everything about video games. Actually, I hate the way most high-schoolers think they know everything about everything.

"The guys who made rock band stole the idea from Guitar Hero"
"I traded in Mass Effect after playing it for an hour because it had too much talking"
"Wii fit is awesome!" <--- That's actually just my opinion, because we all know Wii fit is in fact, not awesome.
"I love winning at COD4 then yelling out pwned noobs, you all suck!"
"I saved up my money so I could by the Crash Bandicoot game for Wii."

I need more informed peers.

Too many awesome things to quote in this thread (Zelda, Fallout, etc).

Mine is probably:

"no dude really duke nukem forever is coming out this year, they just changed to the unreal engine!"

He said this like trying to quote 3D Realms on it like it was gonna be released in 2000.

I also love how so many things said on this forum are obviously opinion.

"Someone said that ____________ is the best game of all time. Like they're allowed to like their own games. LOL."

Yeah.
Well, if anything, opinions are the perfect thing to list on this thread. What, does their being opinions suddenly make them true?
Plus, if someone said "I think _____ is the best game of all time", I'd be fine with it because it's actually presented as an opinion, but when they say it just plain is, as though it was a matter of unchangeable fact, then they're not stating opinion.

As a general matter, when my wife tells me "you should buy that game, you'll love it", that is as sure a sign as any that there is no way in hell I'm going to enjoy the game. She's so completely pants-on-head retarded when it comes to knowing my gaming tastes that it's frightening. You'd think after four years of marriage she'd have some idea what gameplay elements I enjoy.

My mate tried to convince me for half an hour there was a Mario game on PS2 even though he knows I know way more about video games than him. It took an internet search for him to finally concede defeat. I hate trying to convince people who are so sure they're right when they're not.

I also have a friend who is convinced that console gaming is for "nubs" and that any game would be better on PC. "What about Skate?" I would say. "Skate sucks," he would reply. I punched him.

This isn't really gaming as much, but the when I bought an Intel Core 2 he said Intel fails AMD is much better. I laughed and said he was a douche. He also said Gigabyte fails.

damn straight. or the myth about Bills Mountain. I spent forever trying to unlock that crap.

Personally what bugs me is when people casually state that games cause violence as if its a well known fact. People just look at the studies they want to look at and base their opinions on hearsay and rumor instead of actually finding out for themselves.

This is a conversation overheard about two people playing Guilty Gear. Man 1: "How do you play this game?" Man 2: "I dunno... press the buttons, I guess."

No joke, that sounds like my boyfriend's friends.
If you were in California at the time, I'd damn near bet it was them.

Yeah, they're all fucking idiots. Luckily they haven't rubbed off on him.
I pretty close to dead middle, maybe slightly northern. About 40 minutes south of Sacramento.
