Why does everyone love *Blank*? I don't understand *Blank*!

[Sonority]

I HATE Manga, Anime, Japanese Role Playing Games, Japanese Music, Japanese TV shows.

I don't hate Japan, but the direction that their culture is going feels like that annoying teenager who thinks hes cool, but everyone just facepalms at nearly everything he does.

I secretly also dislike football, I just don't get it.

On the Gordon Freeman thing, he isn't an actual character rather then a vessel for you to control in the world. (btw you have to play half life 2 at least 4 hours to become emerged, or you simply have way to high hopes from what everyone is talking about it)

I hate subscription gaming, why does the subscriber world put up with it ? ?

Pay your 50 notes for a game then they charge you a quarter of the cover price to be able to continue playing your purchase on a monthly basis !

Genius, You'd think advertising revenue would cover it but hey why not charge some extra !

I hate Princess Peach. Loved the games though.

Can't think of my most hated game character at the moment though

I can't play CoX any more for this exact reason, I'm not paying £8 a month for an outdated and sluggish game. I'd readily pay a full RRP and buy DLC for that game to support it, and even pay for updates, but not a steady stream of money per month.

The Beatles.

Oh, gaming-wise? Kingdom Hearts. I can't stand it. I played the GBA one (bad choice, I know) and it put me off ever playing the series. People have said I should give the PS2 ones a chance 'cause they're miles better, but nothing at ALL about that game drew me in, none of the characters piqued my interest, and I just can't see what others apparently can.

Don't you worry about blank. Let ME worry about blank!

But yeah, pretty much anything that is that popular is ridiculously overrated, even the good characters. I can't think of any specific popular characters that I hate, at the moment...

edit: Oh, anyTHING! I don't care much for ironsights. They don't ruin a game, but some people seem to regard them as essential to their enjoyment of a shooter, and it baffles me.

What annoys me is how far it goes sometimes. "Oh, I'm going to sight down this shotgun as if it was a sniper rifle! Fuck my front teeth and/or sternum!

OT: Why does everyone love modern music, like pop and rap?

Rap is for people who can't sing, it's speaking in small bursts with some bass in the background.

Pop: Possibly the most inane form of music ever, which couldn't possibly exist without autotune and voice filters. The people doing the work aren't the musicians, it's the people fiddling around on a computer editing the fuck out of them.

DLC
people frequently go crazy over the release of DLC for their favorite games, i just feel cheated. bundle that shit up and make a proper expansion pack and i will be happy

 

[MelasZepheos_v1legacy]

Really? I thought Blank was pretty crucial to the plot of Final Fantasy IX. I mean, without him they would never have gotten out of Evil For...

OOH!

I don't really 'hate' much of anything because when something comes along that I don't like I pretty much just ignore it and blank it (heh) entirely. At most I dislike things a bit, and then only hate them when they get shoved into my face.

So I suppose fanboyism is something that I maintain an active hatred for, because the only time I ever come into contact with it is when someone is fanboying about something else that I hate, so it's like a double barrel of annoyance.

I don't think any of that made sense.

Right now, the 3DS.

Typical conversation I have with 3DS owners:

"Hey I just bought the new 3DS!"
- "Wow, nice. A shiny new console eh? How'd you swing that?"
"I traded in my old DS. Got a cool $50 towards the purchase."
- "... but your old one was worth like, triple that amount. Bit of a ripoff, don't you think?"
"Nah, it's cool. It basically paid for my new games."
- "Oh yeah? What did you pick up?"
"Nintendogs and Lego Star Wars."
- "... Wait, don't you already have those games for the DS?
"Yeah, but these are in 3D!"
- "Ah. So how's the 3D feature, anyway?"
"It's alright. It hurts my eyes and kills the battery, so I don't really use it anyway."
- "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..."

Bioware =p.

Boy, gona get a lot of hate for this, I'm sure... Well maybe not, now that I said it...

You've got a right to feel about them how ever you wish. I may love BioWare, but I won't attack someone for saying they don't. What I do have a problem with however, is when people feel the need to express how they feel about a game/game company by insulting its fans and saying they're idiots for liking something that they don't.

A lot of people don't feel like that, it's not uncommon for me or a lot of other people to be "attacked" for NOT liking something that others do. Opinions are some times taken too seriously...

When the original came out, it was different. It was Final Fantasy and Disney, two things that you'd think would never go together, getting smashed into one game. In my opinion, it's horrendously skewed toward the Disney side of things, why can't we visit Final Fantasy worlds? They're still miles better, your friends are right, but if you don't like saving the world via the power of friendship then the game will probably make you puke.

Yeah, the general theme didn't really sweep me up. I love Disney and I quite enjoy Final Fantasy, but it couldn't hold my attention. I love my friends, too, however I like to adventure to save the world, rather than rely on warm fuzzies. I guess a complete lack of interest in the characters didn't help me much there.

The whole reason you made this topic to say that you don't like Gordon Freeman, whilst knowing that a lot of other people do.

Most of all, however - there is absolutely no discussion value in these threads. You're not gonna change someone's viewpoint in the least and neither will their opinion change yours.

That's a whole lot of presuming to know my mind there, buddy.

I'd like to point you in the direction of the first word of my topic title.

I'd also like to point out where I thanked a poster for making a point about why he liked Gordon Freeman.

Finally, I'd also like to point out the discussion this topic has raised.

Thanks for your time.

I don't understand all the hype about Portal 2. The funny trailers? Okay, I've seen those. But Valve didn't need to push it by including some form of Portal element in every indie game. As an optional feature, sure, but I don't want to hear GLaDOS on Killing Floor if I'm not on the Aperture map.

And the whole first person perspective in Audiosurf gives me the same vertigo I get when I play Portal (not to say Portal is a bad game, just that it triggers motion sickness when I play it).

 

[DeadSpaced]

Alright, this might get me in trouble, but *charging up the flameshield*

Final Fantasy 9.

Sorry guys, but I really like the modern vibe that FF7 and FF8 were rocking. I get the "back to basics" emphasis of 9...but that's not what I wanted.

That, and the character design imo, was lamesauce. Aside from Vivi, who was an equal mix of "cuteness overload" and demonic black mage conjuring-ness.

Minecraft.

Worst game I've ever played by far.


And yes, I did play ET for the Atari 2600. It was shit, but the graphics were about on par with minecraft.

Fucking boring and fucking ugly.
