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

[gregatron08]

Hey! I've got one!

Go for PS3. Resistance is far better than any FPS game microsoft will ever make, and God of War pwns any other fantasy, adventure and RPG games.

There it is.

/applause

Actually had me in stiches, thanks!

Got another two:
"Gamecube was the most powerful console of the previous generation."
"Little Big Planet is for 2 year olds."

Someone once said that soul reaver came before blood omen.He also said that doom 3 was better than the original doom.

"Zelda's gonna be in a movie." (remember that ign April Fool's joke?)

A mate told me this lie too! And I believed him until I saw the video... April Fool's goddamn. I was so pissed cos I thought it would be so cool if there was a Zelda movie.

But other lies that I've been told ... "Sheik is a guy." I know, maybe some people do believe she's a guy but I don't buy that because Zelda = Sheik and I'm pretty sure that Zelda = female.

"Gears of war sucks because you only have 1 life"
Spoken by a halo-fanboy friend

 

[IndieRocker]

"My PC has the same graphics card as PS3"

 

[dekkarax]

"Perfect Dark doesn't fit in my N64!"
"Sir, that is a Gameboy Advance"
Can't remember where I read this one.

If I had a penny for every time I was in primary school and someone claimed to know how to get a Mew in pokemon...

I got a mew for beating the world champion guy. Basically a game of luck when mewtwo is allowed. I froze his, I win. The guy was a cheater anyway (3HP above the maximum possible for a mewtwo, I would know, I maxed mine the long way) However, basically anyone that speaks about gaming I know say some retarded things like that CS is bad, TF2 is bad and that PCs have terrible graphics and bad controls.

"Why is it called halo 3 when it's the only game in the series?" - avid player of said game and nothing else. He hasn't touched the campaign either.

"Don't play videogames, it's realy unhealthy, get a wii instead" - a person with a large scar on her hand where she hit a flower vase while "exercising".

"i can aim waaaaay better with analog sticks then you could ever do with your mouse" - an x360 player.

"this is why i only play on good platforms, too much aimbotters on pc and ps3" - same x360 player after i called him out on his previous statement and had him play a round of cod4 against me with a gamepad against my logitech G5, which involved a 50-0 win for me(and blue tiger on my GC36)

'The Orange Box is shit, all the games are boring and samey. I much prefer the story and style of Halo 3.'

*gun to face*

fan boy alert! where did you shoot him?

I know this is a little unrelated, but I have to mention it.
I was talking to my friend who knows a fair amount about films, but doesn't really...KNOW alot. As in he thought She's the Man was very entertaining but couldn't watch more than ten minutes of There Will Be Blood as he thought it was dull.
And we were talking about that new movie the Wrestler (he's a huge wrestling fan) and how Micky Rourke is up for an academy award, and I said "yeah, that's awesome."
BUT THEN he went on to say "And that's cool, because they're way better than the oscars, oscars are just for whatever is like, more popular at the time, where as academy awards are given to things that are genuinely good." And went on for literally five minutes about how much better the academy awards are compared to the oscars.
I couldn't bare to tell him what he was saying didn't make a blind bit of sense, but it was excruciating haha.
Bless him.

Awards shows are all bullhonkey anyway.

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.

the protoss is a ripoff of the tau.

"The story in Fallout sucked... I couldn't figure out how to do anything too!"

WELL!!!! If you couldn't figure out how to do anything of COURSE the story sucked for you... YOU DIDN'T GET INTO THE STORY!

Yah... I tore his dumbass head off with that one.. XD

 

[WHITE TEMPEST]

A friend of mine once told me that XPlay gave the PS3 and XBox360 versions of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed a 2/5 but gave the Wii version a 5/5. Anyobdy notice a few things wrong with that?

 

[fnph]

This from my younger brother, "You can get the original Guitar Hero on Wii, I saw it in a shop." Now matter how many times I tell him, he's still adamant.

 

[xXGeckoXx]

Even more extreme, a friend of mine told me, a year after it came out, that the Orange Box was bad because it was old. I kid you not.

I trust you have eliminated the person in question?

Also "Video games aren't for having fun!" I had to fucking remind myself how to breathe.

HNNNNNGGGG! Make it painful.

This fag = homosexual thing is pretty stupid. I might run a campaign for higher quality insults. Also, is this the same DirkGently from Ultimate Guitar? Just wondering.

Yay higher quality insults (though i hope you dont deny that some well placed dumb insults can be good)

The orange box is great that person was not a gamer, excuse him witha extra-cuff around the head.

A friend claimed a xbox game called overlord was good. I almost beleiveing him before slowly melting from boredom in the demo.
