*In case I place this in the wrong section, please move it to the right section. This is purely out of my speculation, and I am not going to debate about it, it's just my opinion, so please, put down that flamethrower. You can, however say what your thoughts, but do not try to bash anyone else's. Pokestation rules still stand. This also contains satire*
Videogames. We all love playing on them. From timeless classics, to hidden gems, each one with their own pros and cons. Back before you could look up game tips, you needed the magazines like Nintendo Power. Nowadays, it's different. Problems still stand, but these are the 5 problems that can really ruin my experience.
In order:
1. Fans (Bad kind)
2. DLC (or other content you have to buy)
3. Sports games
4. Game reviewers (Looking at you IGN and GameSpot)
5. Installation and loading times
I will start with fans first.
Ever went onto an online forum or YouTube, and just aimlessly just posted your opinion on something? Then all of the sudden you are flamed by all the fans as they erupt in civil war. Comments get bombarded, bikes are dropped, f-bombs reign from the sky, it's a apocalyptic nightmare! When this happens, you are dealing with the fandumb. Any time you post an opinion about something, it seems they leap onto it and practically force you to accept their opinion is right.
And then you get the forums, oh boy, what's better, an odd flame battle or entire sections of the Internet sectioned of for the debate of the best Zelda game ever. Seriously, with the fans bashing every game and praising the games they like, and seem to come from the darkest depths of the Sonic the Hedgehog fanbase. Let's take Zelda for an example. Wind Waked is bashed and battered to death for what? It's Cel-shaded. The gameplay? It's Cel-shaded. The music? It's cel-shaded.
Seriously, without the Internet, this would never happen, but because it exists, you must obey the fans.
Why I find it bad?
It just goes to show that people do not do the research. They keep having inaccuracies about the work, and they probably never even played it. All they seem to do is ruin your fun by keep raging on you for having an opinion.
The real life version:
Buying a happy meal and getting raged at for not having a burger, and then you say the graphics of the toy is bad, to which the other person bashes the whole concept of it, except one detail.
DLC
Ever went on those rides for 25 pence, and after a while, you pay to stay on it? Well then you have DLC in a nutshell. What you have is to pay for more expansions for your game. That's right, you have to pay for more enjoyment, out of a game, you already payed for. Let's take Battlefield, for example. The guns are on the disk, and you either a. Work yourself into getting those guns, or b. Buying the DLC to use those guns. What's the point of this? If the guns are on the disk, let me have them, not conserve my time to fork my money over to unlock content on the disk I ALREADY BOUGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
The worst game that does this? As said, Battlefield is a good example, but there are worse. The non-DLC version of this is Spyros Skylanders. You are given 3 characters at the beginning, which is enough to complete the game, but you need 18 of these things to see the entire game. What bull**** is this? I already bought the game, now I need to spend more money to see the entire game?
Why this is a problem? Just read above.
Real life version
Buying a car with a radio, except to unlock the radio you need to buy it, along with radio stations.
Sports games
Imagine this. Imagine a game which reuses the same content over and over again, and seems to come more and more early. Well you have the sports genre. Not that I dislike it, just what they do in it. EA games, for example, keep reusing the same engine in FIFA, hardly any improvements, and just seems, same-ish after all this time. This is why real life cannot be used for sports, as it moves too quickly.
I love it. You go into a game shop, and you see all the previous EA sports game just plaster the walls, to remind everyone that 30 pounds can become 20 pence. Why buy a game that's like this? I don't have enough money to keep splashing at EA sports to keep up with the time. FIFA 12 was released in 11, when FIFA 11 was still going good. In fact, over time, they barely even upgrade anything, and it just feels the same like last game.
Why I hate this? We are all giant suckers for liking this.
Real life version
Keep upgrading your car till each one is more identical than the last.
