i love halo ^^ but i'm not like,addicted to it.the people i hate the most are the arrogant ones that wander around matchmaking,downing everyone else anytime they make a mistake.
was also a big fan of soul calibur 4's custom characters.i made a chr for every person i've ever drawn,being rather close to being as canon as possible.

Re: I hate Gamers.
 

Not compared to the people who insist that Halo, and every other mainstream game, is utter crap to create the illusion of 'looking past the hype." Hating whatever the majority likes is just another way of letting the majority do your thinking for you. If you really wanna look past the hype. Try playing the game and giving it a fair chance before you pass absolute final judgement on it. Also, people have different tastes, so a game that's mediocre to you can be awesome to someone else.

Re: I hate Gamers.
 

I'm a gamer, and i dissaprove of your stereotyping.

1) i could care less about graphics, if the game is fun thats all that matters.
2) I dont care what they release and what it does or what it's for. If i dont want it, then i wont buy it.
3) VC games are AWESOME, my god i sat down and played NES Punchout for a few hours last night....ahh....memories. (AND YES....Mr.Dream TKO'd me in about 30 seconds)

I've played and beaten all 3 halos a few times, actually i own them....i even waited in line outside in the cold to get a collectors of 3 (NOT Legendary, my GOD that thing was expensive!) They are good games no doubt, but far from the "One Game to Rule them AAAALLL!"(anyone get that? ANYONE? no? T_T) game that a lot of its fanboys make it out to be. At it's core it is very much like many other shooters, and actually takes a lot from the original Half-Life (something thats hard to NOT do though, because that game pretty much set the standard for how FPS's are today. Before HL1 came out FPS's had minimal if any story).

GTA is much the same way. It's a fun game, but it gets old fast. At least if you play the game it was meant to be played. ME?! I do whatever the hell i can to break the game XD that usually ends up in some nice "WTF just happened" moments (and the discovery of many of Rockstars easter eggs they love to put in the GTS's)

I want to reiterate what i said in that post linked above: There are different types of gamers.

-Casual who just play whenever for leasure and don't think too much into it.
-Standard who find a good balance between gaming and the outside world.
-Hardcore who have no clue what the sun looks like.
And for the last one im gonna rephrase it a bit to be:
-Game ENTHUSIAST someone who simply likes games for more than just playing them, but for what they are, the story's they tell, the emotions some can bring. All video games are created equal until they have played them. (ie: dont jump to conclusions).


I would consider myself somewhere between STANDARD and ENTHUSIAST. I'm not the kind of person you will find spending every waking moment looking into every little detail of the games i play. But i will find something that perks my interests and look further into it. (Hell i've played every WarCraft game since the DoS era and im still discovering stuff thanks to wowwiki o.O i usually just look up one thing, and it links into another, which links to another GAAAAAAH damn wiki's!)

Re: I hate Gamers.
 

This thread also makes me think of how proud of myself I am for getting over my weird desire to keep my games forever.

Now I just keep the ones I really really like, such as Mario 64 ds (I play through that game atleast once a year) and Marvel Vs Capcom 2.

While I am selling FF7 and such. Had I played it when I came out I probably would have loved it, but I simply don't see how its so great compared to a lot of recent RPG's.

Re: I hate Gamers.
 

My god i did the same thing XD

I was a packrat, eventually i decided to trade a bunch in for newer ones instead.

Though I'm keeping my Shin Megumi Tensei (i think i butchered that) Digital Devil Sagas always. Even if i dont have a PS2 anymore i wont get rid of them. Especially that first one which is a RARE game to find here state-side.


:\ i dont know why, but i like to collect some of the rarer games just to have them. But i wont go out of my way to get it (i.e i wont go looking for it, but if i see it in the store sitting there i'll grab it thats how i got DDS1, it was in the BlockBuster Used game bin XD)

I pretty much got it down to about 10 per console now in my room (though i have a stash of SNES games...somewhere i dunno :\)

Re: I hate Gamers.
 

The only really rare games I think I will never let go is are my copies of Lunar 2, Breath of Fire 3 and 4 for the Ps1 and Earthbound. I have a complete copy of Lunar 2, with the necklace and everything. It does make me want to get the first one though...

Re: I hate Gamers.
 

Trolls, every single one of them.

"I got a DS, but it doesn't have any games I like. I like my games to be more modern with up to date graphics and processors. I don't want to play games on a cheap 1999 model with outdated memory, sound and graphics."

"I got a PSP, but there are no good games, they are all water down ports of the PS2 games that I can get at a cheaper price"

"I got an XBOX360 and there are no good games on it. Its all FPS and completely brown, dark and bloomy."

"I got a PS3 but there are no good games on it. They are still in development and won't come out in 5 years like FFXIII and versus. And those mean MS people keep stealing our games!"

"I got a Wii, but it has no good games. All the developers did was shoe horn in waggle controls and called it a game for the Wii. Also the graphics are so shitty and non-HD that its really offputting."

In conclusion, (system) has no games cause of (reason), because of WAHHHHHHHH!

BTW, isn' Harvest Moon the only hardcore faming simulator?

Re: I hate Gamers.
 

OK...

I'm a gamer and the only time I whine about a game being crap is when it's so glitchy that I can't even play it the way the instruction book says to play it. You know, like it causes a system crash, or my guy gets stuck in a wall when I'm not even using a cheat.

It's kinda rude to lump us all into that one whiny stereotype. I love my games, but I also don't sitting around bitching about the systems. I like RPG games and some strategy RPGs and the platformers and actioners and the occasional FPS. I also play tabletop games as well, RPGs or card games or board games.

You should so much say you hate gamers, more like you hate gamer FANBOYS. Those are the ones you seem to be talking about. The ones that swear by whatever system they have in their home and all the rest are crap. I work with one of them who owns all three next gen and he's STILL going on and on about the Xbox 360 to the point where if I even see one I want to puke.

Not all of us are out there to whine. Most of us just want to play. Speaking of which, I hear Disgaea and my PSP calling for a game break.
