10 things that piss me off in videogames

10. Paying more money for something that should be free. Example, BF Bad Company. You can get the standard edition for $60, or pay $10 more for the gold edition and get extra weapons. You can still unlock the weapons with the standard copy, but how can you keep playing when the gold weapons are overpowered compared to your starter weps?

9. High Dynamic Range. It's better now, but before HDR was just cranking bloom to 120%, aka shit.

8. People who are too preoccupied by the size of their e-peen and play the game for stats and not fun. Recently started playing C&C Generals Zero Hour again, the community is worse than I last remembered. Everyone disconnects when they are losing (so they don't get a loss point), they only play against n00bs so they can get a win point, etc. Funny thing, I used a n00b account with 20 wins 100 losses and played a guy with like 500 wins, 20 losses and 150 disconnects. I was kicking his ass and he disconnected.

7. People who play with shitty rule like no air, no rush, no superweapon, etc just because they suck and need to play with the units/structures they know how to combat.

6. Wii owners who only see 360, PS3 and PC as "better graphics, not gameplay." Despite that the wii controller is a piece of shit gimmick kids toy.

5. People who only buy a game just because it's a certain brand or part of a universe. Example Halo Wars. It looks like the biggest piece of shit ever, yet people will like it just because it's Halo.

4. Developers who have the balls to say that all versions of the game will be the same, even though the DS, PSP, PS2 and Wii versions will be stripped, hacked and butchered. Take SW The Force Unleashed as an example, The PS3 and 360 will be the best version, yet they say the PS2, Wii, PSP and DS will be just as good because they throw in a few extra levels.

3. Guys who complain about WW2 shooters, yet are just fine with humans vs aliens.

2. People who think that you can just port a current gen game (PS3 and 360) to last gen consoles (Wii, PS2) by just dumbing down the graphics.

1. People who play Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Actually, I'm ok with that, it's just the people who think that they've actually accomplished something by doing "lol fire through the flames on expert lolol I am teh rokstarrr!!!" And they post a video of it on youtube and brag about it. Not impressed, because in the end you're just playing with a differently molded controller pressing coloured buttons.

[D DubZilla]

I would like to add some.

11. Too many fucking peripherals...they clutter my living room.

12. People who hate Halo...I understand it's not the godliest game in the world, it's far from perfect, but people who are incredibly against it and feel the need to let everybody know should just get a girlfriend and/or let it be.

13. Red ring. :mad: Or faulty consoles in general.

[Leesin]

You're a dick sometimes, but i agree with alot of things you have said here. My biggest hate at the moment and has been for a while are people that think Guitar hero ( and anything similiar ) are actually good games, they are even more pathetic than dance dance revolution, do yourself a favour and spend the time learning to play a real guitar because its far more rewarding and you might actually add to your chances of losing your virginity in your lifetime. Fucking pathetic learning to play some gay ass guitar game and beat records like you're some rockstar when you could realistically learn to play real guitar and be in a band yourself. Dont even see how it would be fun to play.

I'm going to have to object. He said people who think how good they are at guitar hero = the size of their penis.

It's a really fun game, and I agree that it's pathetic to brag about, but don't say it's not a fun/good game.

Does it make me a loser that I can 5* every song in the main career? Judge not lest ye be judged, for I've been playing real guitar since I was 10. I'm 19 now and I've been in several bands, even played solo in bars and what have you. And no, I'm not a virgin. So don't assume that people who are good at guitar hero = losers.

And for the record, I've never been able to keep a band together for more than six months. I like to think I'm pretty talented at guitar since I play it religiously, and I know some really great musicians, but it's harder than you think to get bands off the ground.:wah:

[shane7x]

14. Xbox 360

[rashbeep]

i definitely agree with the hdr point. when half life 2 had hdr added to it, it was so awful! :lol:

[Nickster]

14. Xbox 360

15. Console butthurt/hate, in general.

16. Overuse and misuse of bloom. When I shine a light at a tree, the light should not reflect into my fucking face. You dumb nigger. How the hell is bloom realistic anyway? Is the ozone layer completely gone in video game land? I hate bloom.

17. Gamers who encounter a slight learning curve and bitch about it being too hard and unintuitive.

im a fan of rockband. playing it, i only play drums, well and kick ass at the singing. But the drumming was a good tutorial and easy guide to drumming. Transfering the drum patterns from rockband drums, to real drums(which is what my brother has) was really easy. i wouldnt have gotten this far without rockband. *easy way to practice, "plays along with you"

[navid]

18. not knowing whether to keep the 360 vertical or horizontal

19. having the 360 vertical or horizontal actually matter

[Rootraz]

20. People that compare graphics of the same game on different systems. (They basically all look the same)

21. People who suggest you play real guitar if you enjoy guitar hero. (I do play actual guitar though, so that's a moot point against me and many others)

[Bigshorty]

22. Going on Call of Duty 4 and hearing kids say stupid shit and bitching when they get killed. And having them be the host or friend's with the host so they can't get kicked.

23. When you tell a kid to shut the fuck up, their older brother or whatever stands up for them like they're not being an ignorant, annoying cunt.

[mesaywee3]

14. Xbox 360
Do you recieve a small percentage of sony playstations profits? Thats the only way you can justify the fact that half of your posts bash the xbox.

[D DubZilla]

24. I wish it was easier to mute people in Call of Duty 4. Seriously, you guys complain about Halo's fanbase? Most of them don't talk, and it's really easy to mute them. Call of Duty you need to mute in game, and that sucks, and it's clunky and I usually get killed while I'm muting some 12 year old snob singing "God Bless the USA"

[Nocturnal]

25. People who suggest you play real guitar if you enjoy guitar hero.
26. People who suggest you play real guitar if you enjoy guitar hero.
27. People who suggest you play real guitar if you enjoy guitar hero.

Yeah, it's that bad. Of course the fake rock stars are gay, welcome to video games noob.

Video games aren't fucking real. Why should I "spend time on a real guitar" instead of playing Guitar hero but not "join the army if you want to shoot people" when we mention a shooter? It's a damn video game guys. I don't have the time or inclination to spend 5 years learning the electric guitar only to find out I still can't play difficult songs. However I can find some mild amusement by picking up a controller and throwing down some fake chords on my 360 for 5 minutes.

Ok, so this is the real 25.

25. Grief-ers, cheaters, etc. You are gay. If you beat me 10-8 you aren't awesome, you barely won. If you beat me 10-1, congratulations you are better at that particular game. Great, I don't give a fuck you loser. As far as cheaters, what's the point? I can flip off the power to my 360 anytime I want and totally "kill the whole game!!!". Wow, that was fun.

[rand0m]

Seconded, anyone that 'cheats' online.

28. People who complete Guitar Hero on the hardest setting, congratulations you've wasted a month of your life memorising some button combos ... now if they made the note sequence random ...

[PsiRedEye22]

29 & 30:

Everyone in this forum.

[Nocturnal]

31. Clans
only the snobby ones
what is the point? i hate assholes who have a feeling of entitlement because they have three letters in brackets before their name.

What? I thought you were in clan "rvd"?:confused::confused::confused:

[handsock]

32. Canadian Gamers who are over opinionated.

[Thomson]

33. RSV2....or UBI. this game sucks ass. i cant believe the exact same bugs from number one are still in the second one. i cant get my head around how they could do that.

[Nocturnal]

i cant tell if that is a joke
i think it's a joke



i hope its a joke :confuzed:

yeah, just a joke :lol:

[Total Madman]

34. EA buying up good game franchises, then making them suck

[clutch-monkey]

34. EA buying up good game franchises, then making them suck
x2, and x2 on cheaters. however;

35. being accused of cheating because you don't suck, like the other players. i mean come on.

[Nickster]

36. Trees. Fucking trees. Almost every game I ever played has had shitty little skinny trees that could stand up to the wrath of an 18 wheeler hurtling at them at 120 clicks. There not even an excuse for it. Crysis let you fuck up trees. Why is this so hard? Do you think the enviromentalists will actually take time to bitch about it? What?

36. Stock Minorities. If you can't think of a good and interesting character who happens to be a nigra, stop trying. Al Sarpton doesn't play video games. He won't bitch about anything past face value. Fuck. Petty much the entire human cast of ALL games involving Mario are white, sometimes whiter than any white guy I've seen in rl.

37. Pathfinding. Again, if you can't program a character to figure out the best route from point A to B. Stop.

[BestNameEver]

38. I know this is just me, but i hate but i hate linear games, COD4s campaign was basically "Go from point A to Point B using this path now" and repeat.

[Nocturnal]

heh, bad pathing and trees that get in your way for no reason are horrible.

[The_Canadian]

When a kid does something stupid because he's a fucking retard and he uses videogames as a scapegoat. First off, games have a rating for a reason, so fucking retards won't be able to play them. The only way for a kid to get their hands on a game is to have their parents or guardian buy it for them. I don't understand how thick headed some people are, they're just like "lol is teh videogamezz!" and don't realize that it's rated M and an adult bought it for the kid. Another thing, when some dumbass fucks up and everyone else has to pay for it. Like fireworks, some retarded blows his arm off and 5 million other people can't launch fireworks anymore, just because one fucktard ruined it for everyone.

When you can't prefer or hate a console without being a fanboy

The ones who argue that controllers are better than keyboard and mouse. You are a fucking retarded because not only is the mouse 10x better than an analog stick, games just play a lot smoother. RTS, FPS, RPG are all better with mouse and keyboard.

Games that can't balance something and the anti to that something. Like in Company of Heroes, back at its release, tanks were pretty much fucking useless because the AT guns would wipe them out. I don't understand how a shot from a Tiger would bounce off the simple plating on an AT gun.

Snipers. Snipers are fine when you have 2-4 on a 12 player team and actually contribute, but in BF Bad Company it is just fucking ridiculous. In a team of 12 atleast 6 players are sniper. Even worse is that they don't defend or attack the gold crates, they just stay on a hill for the whole game.

The fags who sucks the clan members dicks so they can request people to get kicked.

You can't be good without hacking

When a girl joins a game and 3/4 of the messages will be "omg a/s/l?" "hai how r u?" "hey can I have ur steam ID?" It's fucking ridiculous because who gives a shit?

[Ado]

39. 95% of Wii games

[PokemonMaster]

40. Fucking kids that use their age to gain credit. Like, I'm playing WC3 today, and someone compliments this kid, and all he says is "im only 13 to lol"
I'm fucking 13 and I don't do that you piece of shit. Suck my dick.

[shane7x]

Do you recieve a small percentage of sony playstations profits? Thats the only way you can justify the fact that half of your posts bash the xbox.

No, I just really hate Microsoft for fucking me out of 400 dollars or whatever an xbox costs.

[Nickster]

41. Great games made shit by the programmers lack of comprehension of the phrase "PLAY TEST". You shouldn't need the fucking modding community to clean up your sloppy bugs. Vampire: Bloodlines is what I'm thinking of.

No, I just really hate Microsoft for fucking me out of 400 dollars or whatever an xbox costs.

Good for you. No one fucking cares.

[Nocturnal]

No, I just really hate Microsoft for fucking me out of 400 dollars or whatever an xbox costs.

Hmm, if you had purchased one why don't you know how much you paid?

I call shenanigans.

[Caption]

14. Xbox 360

Why are you anti Xbox? Mommy and Daddy buy you a PS3 even though you wrote 360 on your Christmas list? Or you just don't like the superior system, with the superior games, for a much better price. I used to have a friend who was "anti Sony" because he couldn't afford a PS2, so I feel your pain.

edit: Actually fuck Xbox too. PC is where it's at anyway. Either that or NES.

[shane7x]

Hmm, if you had purchased one why don't you know how much you paid?

I call shenanigans. I bought it like 2 years ago. Why the fuck would I remember the exact price I paid for it.

Fucking retard.

[Total Madman]

There's no point being anti-Xbox, the PS3 is just as fucking shit.

[shane7x]

explain.

And just because I hate xbox doesn't mean I'm a PS3 fanboy.

I happen to like the Wii also.

Someone called you a PS3 fanboy?

I can give you tons of reason why the PS3 is shit

-games need to install

-system still costs a lot of money, the cheapest Xbox 360 is $199 (arcade price drop in the next few months) while the PS3 is still $399.

-The exclusives are crap, other than MGS4. Resistance is a shit FPS, warhawk is basically BF2 with n00bed jets.

-The online service sucks. Games don't run as smooth as Live and there are blackouts (GTA4 when it was first released, PS3 users had to go offline because the servers were overloaded and froze the game, Xbox 360 users had no problem).

-It's been 1.5 years and graphics still aren't jaw dropping

-blu ray lasers burning out are beginning to surface


But the PS3 still has good things

-It's a blu ray player. Parents can buy something for themselves (blu ray player) and still have something for the kids (game console).

-MGS4 is good

I think the PS3 is good, but it's like a snowball. It takes time to get big. But, until that time, the 360 is going to reign supreme.

[shane7x]

Funny thing is I'd probably be an xbox fanboy if they would have just fixed it.

But I think PSN runs smoother than Live because Its only lagged like 4 times with me.

Xbox does have one thing over PS3.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3.

[Superior_to_you]

It's hilarious how much you hate the Wii. Did some guy in a Mario costume molest you as a kid or something?

[The_Canadian]

I hate the Wii, but I don't hate Nintendo. Nintendo was good between NES to 64, Gamecube and Wii suck.

[mudda fooky]

Thanks Jesus the thread title said by The Canadian in it otherwise I would have no fucking idea who posted it.

[goatastixx]

back on topic...
42. supposedly "realistic" games where you run into invisible walls, and can only go on the 1 road that they let you lol

[iBmx]

im an in between stats player and playing the game caus ei like it

i love rapping the shit out of people in call of duty but get pissed when some one kills me at a 4 or 6 kill streak

[sKin]

I hate the Wii, but I don't hate Nintendo. Nintendo was good between NES to 64, Gamecube and Wii suck.

TRUUUUUUTH. And...

- PC gamers. I think it's a jealousy thing, seeing as my parents have never been able to buy me a top of the line one, and my minimum wage job + expenses of college isn't really cutting it. Suck mahhhhhhhh dick richie riches (and yes, I have built my own, still costs around 500 bucks to make a decent one). If I could have a dual 8800 gt combo with a quad core processor pumped with 6 gigs of ram to play Crysis at max 60fps constant I would. But I can't.

caus your lyrics mus b sik

you are fuckin boss spittin lyrics in the middle of a firefight, i'd be pissed to if i had schooled homeboys with 4-6 bars and some eeediot fragged me.

[No0n3]

- People that waste everyone's time by trying to kill an entire team by camping despite being the last person alive.
- People that curse whenever they lose. me: "gg" him: "omg fuck you noob lucker" :err:
- People that fuck up teams because they want to be in the same team as their shitty clanmates. And then ghost via vent.
- Pussies that try to knife me, and when I attack them back with my knife, pull out a gun. (gungame where you lose a 'level' when knifed)

Generally speaking, people that take the game too seriously and aren't good sports.

[fIght_thaNe]

Pokemon games where you cant get the pokemon you want real bad.

[The_Canadian]

spoiled bratty kids, I fucking hate them and they should all burn in hell. A part of me dies every time I'm at the store and i see an 8 year old (which has the voice like 60% of Xbox Live's community) bully his mom into buying him a game. The kid doesn't deserve it at all, but I'm more disappointed with the parent. She has no reason to give him a game because I bet he fails at school, has a poor attitude and talks back to her. But she'll still buy it for him, because she has no spine and her kid bullies her.

[Nocturnal]

I bought it like 2 years ago. Why the fuck would I remember the exact price I paid for it.

Fucking retard.

No, actually if you purchased an item of that expense and don't know how much you paid for it, You are the fucking retard.

Derr, I don't rememberz.

Well, actually your mommy probably bought it for you, so how would you know how much it was? God damn you are an idiot.

[iBmx]

Pokemon games where you cant get the pokemon you want real bad.

or now a days stupid fucking pokemon games that dont have the same pokemon in both games

uhh gold silver
ruby saphire.... so on

[phoenix009]

^ I hope that's sarcasm because they are all like that, I think that is why they made yellow, crystal, ect. Anyways I was recently replaying Megaman X and realized how annoying it is to jump over a pit only to have an enemy come at you that you couldn't see before and hit you in mid-air making you fall to your death.
