What type of gamer annoys you most?

[Judgment90]

Definitely the gamers who are so devoted to a franchise that they take it as a personal insult if one does not like the same series.

Take me for example, I personally don't like most of the FInal Fantasies and Kingdom Hearts games, and I always get PM's and chat messages threatening me with DEATH over the fact that I don't like those games.

1. I hate being on a team with people who specialise in setting up a spawn-killing or other incredibly cheap scenario. This happened particularly in BFBC2, where occasionally I would get a team who, once winning, would obliterate their way to the enemy base, surround it with all the collective tanks and helicopters, and not let anyone on the opposite team take a step. In BFBC2 it was especially cheap because players searching for a game would automatically be placed in it, the entire team having left.

2. More petty on my end, but I don't like it when I'm in an MMORPG-type situation (I say this because I mean Dragon's Dogma) and other people have ridiculous characters with stupid names and deliberately stupid appearances. Like in said Dragon's Dogma, where I saw a pawn for hire with purple hair and bright yellow beard named Mvfkr. Something unique and different is refreshing, but something deliberately stupid is immersion-breaking.

3. People who will accuse you of being cheap when you are not being cheap, and similarly, people who accuse you of using cheap tactics when you are doing the logical thing to do (e.g. using a health point advantage to force the enemy to come into a closed space rather than engaging them in the open, because you are CQC and that is what you are meant to do).

Techincally though isn't sniping the enemy the second they spawn more efficent & therefore logical?

Also are you saying that a character named "Lady Bismillah Suplex" is immersion breaking?

Story IS more IMPORTANT (Use reading comprehension. Please.)

WHY is it more important? You haven't given any reason for this. Maybe it helps for YOU to enjoy games more, but neither the general public nor many other gamers really care all that much as long as the game is good.

what?....since when do you speak for everyone in this regard?

this is another point I'd like to make...peopel who say "games should be this or that"

there is no "one size fits all aproach" I like Mass Effect apraoch...unlike other games I don't feel the cutecenes ever get in the way..I like them and the games aproach to storytellying..I couldnt imagine mass effect using the "half life" aproach..and vice versa

I'm not implying every game should use one approach, in fact I'm implying the opposite; I'm saying not every game needs to be based on it's story. I agree, from what I've played of Mass Effect, that the Half-Life approach wouldn't work (and I don't believe I ever stated that I thought that was the only approach that could work?) and it wouldn't be half as enjoyable if it had no narrative at all, but I also don't think every game needs a narrative like that. Sometimes you just wanna shoot something you know? And sometimes games can be moving even without a real "story."

I can see how my post may have been a little ambiguous, by "many other gamers" I didn't mean that hardly anyone cares about story; if that were the case a lot of successful games would have bombed. What I meant to say was that a lot of people like games that don't have a big focus on plot, a lot of people aren't that bothered about being told a story and just want to have some fun. Jay thinks those people don't deserve to play games at all and wishes those gameplay focused games would disappear from the market and, to me, that seems very selfish. We're all entitled to whatever kind of entertainment or art we enjoy.

Love to see how this thread is almost derailed by an arguement in story in video games...

Forum goers...

I knew someone would call me out on that. There's a point where the most effective thing to do ruins enjoyment of a game, and a difference between an unfair advantage and an advantage that is part of gameplay. Basically I'm saying use your own judgment.

And secondly, it would depend on the game, but I wouldn't say so unless they also looked stupid. For one thing, it is capitalised and with a title and whatnot, so that's not really unbelievable as a name.

I hate gamers who feel the need to yell at people when they make mistakes. I hate them even more when they don't acknowledge their own mistakes, shrugging them off like nothing. Usually this applies to raid leaders in WoW even more so in Raiding guilds. Why can't everyone just get along;<
