What type of gamer annoys you most?

[A Satanic Panda]

People like my sister, I quote,

Sister: "Why do you like Halo?"

Me: "Because it's fun."

"But, what do you like about it? The graphics? or the super carriers?"

"No, because it's fun to play."

"What?"

Mostly the MLG wannabees and fanboys that plagued Halo 3 and Reach.

Always saying that MLG was the only true playlist and if you're not MLG you're a terrible player.

If you went onto the Bungie Forums (And i feel sorry for you if you did) A lot of topics were created by people either complaining about MLG or saying how good MLG is. It was more annoying than the General grades boasting over their virtual rank.

And to all the people saying they hate MLG.

Oh boy...
I hate people who ***** and complain about gameplay yet they suck at it and i'll do better than them (many, many times i get more kills, damage, or healing in sw tor(for example)) <- not elitist i just hate braggarts who are fake.

People who complain about kill-stealing for say league of legends.

Trolls.

Arm-chair generals- goes back to #1, they whine and complain yet they do the least work.

Gamers who hate games, but never actually tried them. (This would include myself, but i refuse to try ME3). Probably this situation is based on how popular it gets.

There's probably more, i just can't think of them right away.

 

[RESURRECTION21]

hardcore pc gamers who hate anyone who are not pc gamers and waiting for hate mail

 

[Moonlight Butterfly]

People who play COD and Madden and play sports as well as game.

THERE I SAID IT. ARE YOU HAPPY.

I'm a bad person I know.

[[REDACTED]]

Graphic whores/newshit gamers that continually masturbate themselves to the newest flavor of the month. Subhumans..

Oh Anthraxus, it's like you were never gone! (Subhumans? Really?)

 

[Arfonious]

People who gets mad, I can't stand people raging

[Vkmies]

The "Old games suck, because reasons"-people. Because I am one of those retro-assholes who are always comparing new games to old ones and stuff. Many people call people like me annoying, which I can totally see. But I have to say, that the haters of the retro just make me maaaaad. Guess I am a sort of a fanboy in that regard.

 

[Yotora]

I have a friend that refuses to play a lot of games based on the graphics not being "shiny" enough for him (if it isn't 3D graphics, he will most likely ignore the game). These types of people annoy me a little because they refuse to play games that have great mechanics because of graphics.

OMG, coincidence, i have a friend like that and it really annoys me 'cause he misses out on great games purely because of the graphics, like he won't play Command and Conquer: Zero Hour because the graphics aren't good enough ^^

 

[Aris Khandr]

Yay, I'm safe! No Madden or COD, just FIFA.

Elitists are by far the worst, it doesn't matter whether you play on an xbox, ps3, wii, pc, or microwave, each platform has it's ups and downs and arguing over which one is better is a waste of everyone's time and makes you look like a total and complete douche.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Platform fanboys, graphics whores and those people who only play one genre of games.

I can understand platform fanboyism to a degree because you don't want to see that you bought "the wrong one". But the other two confuse me.

This is the same answer as I wanted to give.

 

[Terminate421]

The hardcore PC elitist who is atheist and attacks people for believing in a god, laughs at consoles and there exclusives, who ONLY buys indie games because they are not AAA, happens to be European, is 15-22 years old at the time, thinks all First Person Shooters are the same and refers to them as "shooty" games, who's favorite developer ever and only them is Valve, says that they can just Mod ever Bethesda game DLC, and practically mimics Yahtzee for game opinions.

Also, people who say they are gamers and only ever buy Call of Duty only.

I don't hate you for doing one the following but if you let that cloud your common sense.....ugh.

 

[Darren716]

The people who that CoD is the only game that exists and go around bragging at how good they are at it. Other groups I hate are the CoD kiddies and dude bros who never miss an instalment in the Madden franchise.

 

[Terminate421]

Probably metagamers, you know the types.

No items.

Fox only.

Final Destination.

Because fun sucks, am I right?

Smogon people can join that list, single handedly took most of the fun out of Pokemon.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Fanboy/girls or haters. Usually over consoles, I see people getting worked up to the point of foaming at the mouth and randomly telling everyone how much they hate certain a console or game.
Or how a certain game is fantastic and if you don't play it, you're a dick.
I honestly don't know who is worse.

 

[malestrithe]

Elites who do not understand what the term means.

It does not mean being able to turn on console commands and turn on the invincibility code to get yourself out of a tight spot makes PC better. All it means is you are a lazy gamer, blind gamer who does not have to focus on actually gaming. Why should you when you can cheat.

Being a console gamer is better in that case. Because you can't cheat to get yourself out a tight spot, you must take things slower and more deliberate.

Basically, if you're argument is so weak that it can be overturned by simple logic, don't make it.

 

[wakeup]

gamers who try and restrict what games can be. like when people say games that do something new shouldn't exist eg games like heavy rain

 

[zelda2fanboy]

I get annoyed at purists. "That game isn't nearly as good as that other game that came out ten years ago, requires old hardware, and sells for $70 used on amazon."

 

[Justyn Stahll]

A few come to mind

MLG kids : every time I play TF2 or some other multiplayer shooter some 8 year old who wont shut up about how great he is (Eventhough their the worst with 2-6 KD or something)

Fanboys : Any fanboy really, Xbox fanboys who won't shut up about how much better it is and the fanboys who love a certain game so much that they wont shut up about it *cough* Call of Duty *cough*

 

[Able Seacat]

I'm glad elitists are a popular choice. Fanboys are annoying too.

Also, I get a little peeved at the 'back in the day' gamers, who only enjoy nostalgia and nothing else.
