What to do when your friends think Modern Warfare is teh best game evar.

[Vhite]

Stop being a shitty friend and let them have opinions that you may not agree with?

Thanks for that pic, I needed that.

I do know a hell of a lot of people who think that MW2 (or Black Ops, now) is the best game of all time. Quite a lot of these barely play other games. I know one person who got RDR and MGS4, and basically ignored them because he'd rather sink hundreds of hours into COD.

 

[gigastrike]

Why are you friends with these people again? Seriously, people like that are the reason why I'm anti-social.

1. Thanks, I didn't know that. (Serious)

2. From what I gathered his friends draw their conclusions from a very limited knowledge base. That's like me saying Denver is the best city in the world even though I haven't been to any other city. Or that I hate Japanese food even though I never tried it, but I have tried Indian food and I love it! Best food ever! *eyeroll* Liking is one thing. Proclaiming superiority and demeaning other things you have not tried or have no knowledge of is called ignorance.

In all fairness I responded more in a knee jerk fashion to the title, though upon reading the OP I can see where you're coming from.

Though I suppose in this case there ignorance is more being skewed by their particular game. I bet if they someone came on here saying that pokemon was the greatest series, and the story lines were the best it wouldn't be met by the same opposition as a Call of Duty thread.

You ignore them. Getting all snobby over it isn't going to help or make you much better than them.

This is the correct answer. Not much more I can say then that this is what you should do.

Fair enough but what happens if they keep berating me? Note that these are most of the guys at my school saying this.

That's when you stay away from those people. They're going to believe what they want regardless of how much you tell them they should think otherwise. Besides, from the sounds of these people, I wouldn't be terribly concerned about their opinions on video games anyways. Maybe try and find common ground on other things to keep them from talking about CoD?

So most of the guys I know seem to think Modern Warfare 2 is the reincarnation of Christ. They claim it has the best story in the series (even though freaking Ign says otherwise), that the idea that Russians invading America and trying to destroy D.C. is brilliant, even though its convoluted, cliche, and has huge plot holes. (Sorry but I've wanted to say how bad it is compared to previous titles in the series).

They also say how it has the best looking graphics out there (and that the xbox has the best graphics as well or coarse.) "What's Crysis,some retarded pc game for fags? Lolololol" :/

Now to the muliplayer, which I might have complimented if it wasn't for the fact that Activision forced I.W.to put more effort into it than the singleplayer experience (something that angers me a lot because I agree with YZ in that a game must always be able to stand on its singleplayer component alone).

But what really makes me rage is when I point out that the series used to be pc only, to which they respond along the lines of, "Well then they realized no one plays pc cus its ghey, 360 forevaaaar!111" -_____-

*facepalm*

So guys, do you have any friends who think MW2 is the best ever, am I overeacting? Thoughts?

Thisis silly. Your extremmly exagerating you situation. NOBODY at that age speaks like that unless there joking around. Mw2 is a great game and whys it hard to beileve somone thinks is the best? Its all oppinion lemme guess your the snob who thinks Zelda or Half life is the best game?

 

[Jinjiro]

I'd say leave them to it. It's their opinions, and while they seem slightly misinformed, at least they're having a good time, so let em. Persuade them to try other games some time, though. In the interests of variety, of course!

Im not joking about how they think the 360 is forevs and that pc gaming is gay. And that all pc only games are gay. As for your last comment, at least i can back up my opinion about Half Life being an amazing game since i have indeed played a wide variety of games [ive been gaming since i was three].

If they were able to truly back up their comments about it being the best out there, then id let it slide, but their pulling information out of their asses.

Also please have good grammar if your trying to voice your opinion.

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, I agree, but that's a whole other bag of tricks/hatred (or lack there of).

Well I usually think to myself 'People like different things.'

And that's ok.

Yes but that would be also the result of nostalgia, which according to Yahtzee is like stuffing your face with cocaine infused marbles.

 

[Mechsoap]

For the OP: your ''friends'' sound like fanboish homophobes (no offence) if they would use the choice of word you did in your post. If that's their opinion, fine, you don't have to agree and you can try to avoid that topic.

OT: none my friends really are much into mw2, they about tried it maybe at some dudes house else we never really had any discussion about it.

 

[KaosuHamoni]

My friends have similar opinions. Whenever I play something along the lines of BlazBlue, or DMC4, the message me on the PS3, saying "You play such shit games!". If only they knew...

I happen to like BlOp's quite a lot. MW2 on the other hand, is a broken shitfest.

Someone's going to get banned rather quickly, if they keep reacting like that...

Yeah Russ ripped Black Ops a new one, but the way i see it, it looks better than MW2.

 

[HT_Black]

My best friend doesn't play Call of Duty. Like, at all. It's even a hassle to get him to play HALO, at times. (In spite of that, however, he's an excellent co-op partner at both.)

EDIT: Yes, to put it simply [aka TLDR], they are being ignorant about what they are saying about how its the best game ever, refusing to believe differently, and giving no real evidence as to why they think its the best.

Both parties are equally wrong

Everyone has an opinion, very very rarely is there a right or wrong opinion. That just happens to be theirs. You can disagree with them, but that doesn't make you right.

However at the same time, your friends sound like morons. So there.

Also, just because IGN says so, doesn't make it true...

...and the DC invasion was awesome...

...and MW2 is great...

Or at least, that's my opinion. Hooray for opinions!

 

[Mr.Amakir]

None of my friends like Modern Warfare.

 

[paragon1]

Stop being a shitty friend and let them have opinions that you may not agree with?

respect their opinion and have a gentlemanly handshake of disagreement while attempting to crush their hand slightly?

Call them an idiot and slap them upside the head.

Ah excellent my three dialogue choices

This post made me laugh for 5 minutes. I tip my hat to you sir.

OP: Have you considered having them kidnapped and abandoned in the middle of say, Russia?

 

[Professor Idle]

"even though freaking Ign says otherwise"

Not really helping your argument there buddy.
