I think has something to do with people sucking at the game.

An example would be my levels on LBP2. They are challenging and 95% of everyone who doesn't like them say that "Its too hard" or "The controls suck" eventhough the majority of the people who play them like them.

Also are we being a little cynical?

He is just being a jackass because he has a monitor to hide behind. In reality he is probably just a pimple faced social pariah who gets his lunch money taken from him.

I disagreed only because you play MAG. Playing that game does make u suck at gaming. Science fact.

Huh this article must have been a profile on you. Maybe you should take the articles advice and start sucking less.

Let's keep this simple:

People hate on games they suck at because the leet little shits who think being good at games makes them god annoy the bejeebus out of the rest of us. They give games a bad name and ruin what would otherwise be a pleasant online experience, regardless of skill.

The author seems oblivious to the fact that one day he'll be one of the "old" people he is so disdainful of. Karma, thy name is Bitch.

AssassinHD5543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

He is probably also oblivious to the irony of making a "why all the hate?" article and then following it up with a string of hateful comments.

I think irony is his middle name. Question is who is really aware in what's happening here. How deep does the rabbit hole go??? Think about it....

Maybe older gamers complain because they want something that requires more skill than a retarded twitchy shooter like COD...

I'm tired of all the noob friendly games. I want a game with an extremely steep learning curve.

Sometimes people hate on great games because they are just popular, other times because they themselves aren't good at said game.

Personally I know tons of people who hate on Halo, mostly ones who are terrible at it. Honestly Halo takes the most skill at to be good at then any other FPS, it can really take dedication and practice, unlike a COD game or something like that, which is more spray and pray type.

Exactly, Justin Bieber is popular, but it doesn't mean "his" music is good.

RockmanII75543d ago

I hate CoD because it has no learning curve whatsoever so anyone can get good easily. Then a bunch of people come in and think they are the second coming because they were able to get a nuke in a game so they start to brag about their epic skills. Since they don't suck at it they get all their friends to play it then their friends play it and so on, it's like a virus. And because of all the people buying it, the game sells a shit ton and makes Bobby Kotick rich. Looking at the success, I think other company's try to copy the formula (All eyes on you Medal of Honor) and fail, wasting money and development time that could have been used to make new original games.

Basically, the fanbase is annoying it's giving Kotick more money anyone can be good at it and it's hurting the gaming industry as a whole. Killzone I'm ok with.

edgeofblade5543d ago

I don't mind a game anyone can be good at. Ultimately, that's good for the industry and sticks it to the obstructionist, defensive elite jerks of the game community... you know, the same as hipster indie rocker who hates their band for getting too popular...

However, it's that undeserved sense of accomplishment in stupid 12 year old twats that I can't stand.

ThanatosDMC5543d ago

Get MAG. It's rare to find annoying kids but you'll be dying a whole lot if you dont know what you're doing.

BeaArthur5543d ago

I hate on games where I have shitty teammates. Well not the game but it bleeds into me hating the game.

Kind of a dick article, how did this get approved?

Lolz that he ran out of bubbles leaving typical dickhead responses, too. So there is a bit of justice on N4G.

goaliegonzalez285543d ago

I think cod is crap but everone in my school likes it and they all play xbox. I just wish they played other games beside that garbage.

blackburn55543d ago

I think some people just do suck. Like everyone complaining that LBP's controls are too floaty. Never bothered me one bit. KZ2 was announced to be unplayable because of the controls. I played it to the end without them causing any problems. KZ3 people keep saying that infaltrator class is hard to spot. Had no problem catching one acting suspicious and blasting his @$$.

Modern gamers cry and moan if the gameplay and controls aren't perfect. There is no adapting to anything or trying to overcome a challenge. The infaltrator has an advantage you don't like, so you want him gone instead of changing tactics to compensate. Did you know that drones and turrents see through disguises and invisibility? Just use more of them to weed out the enemy. But no you prefer to suck and cry about it instead.

midgard2275543d ago

ummmm people suck, i know alot of people who say ninja gaiden sux because u have to block. imagine that.

same with demons soouls, they get upset cuz they didnt watch where they were goin and fell off a cliff.

sure some games suck but honestly alot of gamers suck since devs have babied them and made games way to easy this gen.

XabiTheHumble5543d ago

I agree with the concept of his arguements, not the actaully points. COD is trash and the marksman class in KZ needs to have its sta52 removed and dumbed down a little.

HacSawJimThugin5543d ago (Edited 5543d ago )

What a complete and utter joke this half a boy is...I'm 30 so what...you sound like you have something against older people...why? Is it because your Mom is dating someone my age and that special guy makes you get off of Killzone and Call of Duty before 8 p.m.?LOL!! Age being the reason certain people suck at games...this has to be the dumbest shit I've heard all year. Guess what Mr. Bieber you will be 30 and above one day too and soon you will have to put the controller down and lift a girl's skirt up and play with that...thats what "old men" do. We gets it in!!

COD Duty sucks point blank period. Talk about spawning...anybody see that video up hear with the guys boosting and shit? This cheating bastard went 501-8 and this bum said COD doesn't suck...if you gotta do that to be good at a game...why bother (in my Winnie the Pooh voice)!!
