Silly excuses to hate a game

AXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXAXA CYKA!

The game is good. The community is horrible. Play the game with community, or avoid both. Freedom of choice is a great thing. D

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Give REASON

If DotA's community is bad, how do you call LoL's community?

CYKA! Give me mana!

I love the community. If I feel blue or depressed I play dota 2 and start offending insulting other players(usually they are russians) for their poor skills. Lots of profanity from both sides give me a great relief. You can hate me for that too, but I actually find it to be quite great and peculiar. And by the way, some people really play so bad they deserve to be blamed for that.

THE GAME IS TO BLAME ON COMMUNITY.

Thats a given on design, including game design. From smaller design choices(sometimes even ui and chat) to the deeper cores of mechanics to the marketing and pretty much everything else.

I barely played dota and lol(not my cup of tea, too much time to invest id rather use elsewhere) but from the little ive saw it comes mostly by making a competitive game draw for so long with too much at stake(your rating or whatever you call it), and you can also add some matchmaking problens in as well.

Imagine if rating came more from playing well a chosen role then winning and the community BS would reduce almost to half of it. But some will never gets better, being a f2p competitive game full of children- and that too is a design choice.

Valve is one of the best at avoiding those things(see TF2, even better at launch), thing is they got another IP to catter to and had to keep these not well tought trought design choices.

A:CM is far from being great. Ten years ago it would be considered crap

Playing Bioshock Infinite on hard mode and it's very easy game. Elizabeth makes this game the worst Bioshock I've ever played.

I finished Bioshock Infinite and loved it, but to be honest, I saw a comparison with the demos and early footage, and the game is barely as how it was intended to be.

I liked Infinite, but I admit to having been a little bummed that the horse part wasn't in there.

The quality of A:CM doesn't matter. What matters was just how blatant the false advertising was.

Or do you like companies lying about their games ?

Way to miss the point.

The hatred for colonial marines isnt just because they blatantly lied in their promotional material.

Its for a lot of reasons. The shit AI for example, the untextured random holes in the wall, the complete lack of understanding the plot of any of the alien films, the attempts to make you like a character you have no reason to get attached to.

I dont care if you like it but dont show me a piece of shit and call it gold with a straight face.

My boyfriend is like this. He ALWAYS complains that I play "shit games" and won't even look at a game if it's an indie title. His excuse is "I just don't like indie games" but "indie" isn't limited to just retro platformers anymore, there are so many great games of tons of genres made by small teams. I just don't get it. He's also very pro AAA though, generally agrees with most reviewers and always talks up the importance of graphics in games so I tend to ignore his opinion mostly.. :P

Bronies should be banned from STEAM Gifts

I got tired of a lot of indie games, for "the last bastion of creativity", they all just seem like rehashes.

I wasn't hating on the game! I was just pointing out that Luck increases all the stats STR did and it did it better.
You were hating on the game so much when I asked you about it.

I didn't see you there... how long were you camouflaged, scarily-unbalanced-Yordle?

Honestly the reason why some people won't play Team Fortress 2.

+1. I have a friend who says La-Mulana sucks because of its graphics.

Exactly this. My brother and boyfriend constantly go on about graphics in games and how shit some games' graphics are. Some of my favourite games ever are rather old or aren't as graphically cutting edge as others from its time, but to me good gameplay and a great story are what makes an excellent game.

This, to infinity.

This. Some people tend to mistake graphics for design though, and I can understand people complainging about the design of the games.

I agree. I play a lot of older games, and a lot of older MMOs. Honestly, a game with well written characters and dialog, decent music, and good customizable controls will win for me every single day over something shiny but locked to WASD, poorly scored, or with characters I can't bring myself to give a shit about.

Hate it, graphics are meant to convey a feeling in the game, if they give of the desired feeling: GRAPHICAL WIN! So yes, they shouldn't be involved in a games rating

I agree about the technological quality of the graphics, but graphic art style can be a reason to avoid some games, I think.

Hey, Graphics are important. Graphics and Art can MAKE certain games, sure they don't have to be insanely powerful, but if a game looks interesting, then that's a major plus. And honestly, a lot of "NEW AGE RETRO GAMES" are just lazy graphically, and it shows a lack of effort.

Probably because it was free some days ago. Let the noob invasion commence!

i just hate the trolls that come to experts campaing to kill people

Yeah the last 5 of 7 versus games I played the lobby leader did a local host. Uuuugggghhhh.

It's simple psychology. If it's hyped, especially by many for a long time, you assume it's great. When it isn't, you get dissapointed, and that heavily influences the game, because it's easier to relate the bad experience to the game, as that's when you felt the dissapointment, rather than to the hype before.

Calling a game overrated is not hating it because it is liked by many people, it's just pointing out that it sucks (for reasons other than being loved by many people) AND that it is liked by many people.

The line between the professionalism of a work of art versus the abhorrence of its message is a thin one, indeed. A game can be well-done and disgusting at the same time.

"Women in KBAP are shown as shallow, greedy, treacherous and dependent wretches."
Sounds about right ;P

That's not a silly excuse, that's just a differing opinion, and one that seems to be significantly more well thought-out than most of the other things on this page.

That kind of looks like a 'stealth parody'.

I am getting really fucking tired of that stupid "women arent the most powerful thing in this game therefore sexism" bullshit. If it fits the narrative let it roll.

Someone at EA wakes up in a cold sweat thinking this every morning.

cough I tend to have that attitude towards EA games. (I give the Mirrors Edge games shot though)

Also that isn't the point sometimes? Lol?

I get a lot of that for playing Euro Truck Simulator

That's right. Unfortunately, it's also the most widespread of all excuses and not exclusive to the topic of games only.

"I hate this game cuz too many people are like -it's awesome-, I hate it so much"

Ah yeah. It was about DoTA 2, right? ;d

This is my position on Assassin's creed series. Disgustingly mainstream, pew-pew like game. And it used to be a promising project...

I can actually get that to a degree because mainstream games usually have an awful community.

It's why I have only 80 hours into Skyrim while having 1000+ in Morrowind and 500+ in Oblivion. Mainstream = dumbed down in most cases.

hmm i dont think sims is for girls, i dont get why anyone would play them but thats ok i like some ropy titles far too much so i try not to judge other peoples taste too harshly :)

Sims is great. I remember spending hours as a kid building houses for my Sims 2 family.

I enjoy the Sims games myself. :)

This recommendation was in my friend's feed today. Obviously you can see the resent I have for it in my comment. Just, come on, guys. Difficulty is FUN! You are the reason why games today are way too easy!

On contarary i like these kind of games even more .Because they are challenging and addictive.To me game shouln't be to easy since i would be bored if there isn't any good story too.But if a game has a really good story(like a walking dead series) it can be easy.

EDIT:Whaaaaaaat you won 5 games already.I guess the curse really is broken O.o (congrats)

Especially amusing that people think they should or will go 3rd party because Nintendo is the least likely of the modern big three to close it's console doors. Sony has been losing a ton of money and Microsoft has never broke even with the Xbox line while being pressured by investors to axe it.

Looks like your friend doesn't like games ;P

Hey, I hate ME2 for the same reason.

More or less. I wanted more looting and exploration then what ME2 and 3 provided. But at least ME2 I still won on hardest difficulty, but in ME3 all those fights became such a chore I changed it to lowest one just to see how it ends. And after infamous ending never again went back to it, seeing how nothing I've done during earlier games had any impact how it ended (just compare it to New Vegas, where you learn what happens to people you met and towns you visited).

Iunno about the 2nd part, but i'm definitely with him on "It's CoD" XDDDD

I remember a friend of mine saying "I won't play Minecraft, its graphics suck". Now he's a Minecraftholic.

i simply cant like minecraft no special reason... maybe the lack of obective other than surviving dont mind graphics or gameplay cause it's not bad but meh dont know
