I'll just note down the ones I agree on then add my own.
Eurgh. People who throw all the guts away are ARGH. We put our PSone games in a CD holder thing, still kept the boxes in the cupboard.
I kinda disagree on things being too easy stuff. If the "normal" plays like easy mode then they have a right to complain. Normal should challenge you time to time. Unless they'e someone who wants a challenge and should be playing all their games on Hard then yeah, hate on em.
I think assumptions are healthy. Assumption without anything to back it up other than say "it's game type X, it'll suck"
Can't say it pisses me off, I play on PC or PS3. Most folks on PS3 are quite, and most folks on PC are guys I know, or in general all "gg"
The JRPG stuff is another thread of it's own. You're dislikes can generally be attributed to many other genres too.
ARGH. Yeah I dislike folks who don't put stuff in the right cases. My housemate does it all the time. It's why I own KOTOR twice.
heh, shogunistic I'm with Ethan, I don't see why we should be fine with sexism in games.
I don't mind the term casual, it's a perfectly valid and quick to use description. It's the folks who misuse it and use it the same way others would use "leper"
Pachter, now he's a guy who knows how the games press works.
I don't think it's the gamers fault if the store uses crappy sticker glue.
The celeb status of certain developers is just a reaction to the fact most devs are kept in the shadows and so anyone who comes out n chats n talks will get pushed up more by the media. It's mostly an issue with devs/pubs/media. They need to work on it a bit.
Now for my list:
Console gamers
Lawyers
EA employees
People that don't play JRPGs
facebook gamers
nah only kidding
People who only stick to one genre or gametype. Get out of your comfort zone a bit more. At least give the demo a shot from time to time. Might find something you like. And if you don't step out time to time, then STFU.
People who take what the games press or PR tells them at face value.
People who make gaming a kind of class war. Sneering on mobile phone gamers or facebook gamers and the like. So they don't play the same games as you? They're still gaming.
People who will automatically dismiss any report or research paper that so much as suggests that gaming isn't good for you. It's a sedentary activity that can also expose you to a lot of violent action. It's not perfect. Oh and there's no known long term affects yet.
People who carry on paying for XBL.
People who carry on paying for XBL after it's price increase.
People who from a particularly strong opinion and "knowledge" on a game without playing it due to one of their favourite writers having that opinion. Oh and refusing to ever play said game to actually back up their opinion.
Because it was a bit off I thought I'd mention the Fallout 3 RPG thing here: I think it's because they're primarily a shooter fan, so it's the first "shooter" they've played with those elements. They'll probably only play New Vegas, Stalker and Borderlands. Oblivion, despite to us being pretty similar, probably wouldn't be their cup of tea.
