Whats up with all of the haters?

Why does the flood hate on games that they havnt even played? This is a question a lot of people are asking these days. Yesterday, i created a thread titled "Popular video games that you hate". I most common replies i got were halo 4 (?), mine craft, and of course, CoD. But the thing is, i know for a fact that the people who listed those three haven't even played them, or only played them for a few minutes. To start, lets talk about the mine craft haters. It seems a lot of people on this website hate mine craft for some reason, and i dont know why. Is it because it doesn't really have any action, or is it because of the graphics? If it is because of the game play then let me remind you all that mine craft isn't supposed to be an "action game". The point of the game is to create your world and hang out with friends. Not to go around completing missions or quests or what ever you do in the video games you usually play. Anyways, you need to play it in depth to understand why it is so popular. Im sure the haters only mined a few dirt blocks and then gave up and played something else. The next game i will talk about is halo 4. It has came to my attention that the flood carries a lot of hate for a game that wont be released for another month. This puzzles me the most because the flood is saying things like "343 is ruining halo" when 343 never intended for halo 4 to be like any of the previous halo games. 343 clearly said that they were starting "a new trilogy" with halo 4 which means that it wont be anything like the old trilogy. Now i know it can anger fans when a new game developer takes a franchise, and adds features from a different franchise, to that franchise just so that that game can appeal to a larger crowd. Hell, the only reason i am getting the game is because of the campain, and my clan, you dont see me making hate threads about it. Unless you played at Pax, or Comic-con, and you found it horrible, then you can hate on it all you want. But remember this, most of the people at Pax, and Comic-con who stood in line for hours at a time to play it loved it. I will now finally talk about CoD. Now, i know that there has always been tension between halo and CoD fans, but i know for a fact that most of the people on this forum either haven't played it, or only played a couple matches of TDM, and emediatly returned it. Now, i have played every CoD game except CoD 2, and i must say that it isn't that bad, but i dont play it often because i despise the community. Is that the reason why the flood hates Cod? Because i dont blame you. OK, so that is all i to say to the people on this forum who hate on games that they haven't played. I will now put on my flame suit, sit back, and enjoy the ride. Also, i have been around long enough to know when you are trolling so trolling is pointless in this thread. [Edited on 10.07.2012 10:34 AM PDT]

  • I've owned Minecraft on the PC and 360 and have played well over a week in total time (7 days of playtime) over a span of two years and I can say that the game isn't great, especially where the PC is at now. I've also owned and played all of the Call of Duty's and hated almost all of them except BO and CoD4. I've owned and played almost all the Halo's minus ODST and Halo Wars. I can tell from gameplay footage and information release if I will like the game or not and I predicted Halo Reach and MW3 perfectly with my enjoyment level. I still was open to them but they just never impressed me. Halo 4 will be no different, I'll still get the game but I'll probably end up selling it. And I didn't bother to read your long ass OP where you fanboy all over yourself thinking about 343 and how they are Jesus in disguise. [Edited on 10.07.2012 2:22 PM PDT]

PS, you couldn't build any sort of structor in mine craft even if your life depended on it. That is probably why you dont like it. [/quote] I was going to post something constructive, both positive and negative, until I saw this absolutely idiotic post...

  • A lot of it has to do with this forum's format. A high degree of anonymity combined with the generally low age demographic make for a lot of inflammatory topics posted. Also, the way you make words underlined or bold is extraordinarily outdated. This could be another factor that drives away people who realize they could be posting on other off-topic forums with better user controls and better communities.

Not with the massive amounts of open plot threads at the end of Halo 3.

With the books crafting such an expansive and detailed world, and the amount of attention 343 is paying to the thematic values of Halo, I am confident Halo 4 and, more importantly, the Reclaimer Trilogy will have great stories worthy of, if not better than the original trilogy.[/quote] This is true, if the Reclaimer trilogy was truly finished then halo 4 would be about a different story entirely. Also, dont forget that it was confirmed that the Reclaimer trilogy will go on till halo 6. [/quote]Not to mention this little fact. People asked if H3 was gonna be the last Halo. Bungie said "it's the end of this story arc." That means it's the end of the story that started in Halo CE, but not the end of the Chief or his personal story. And come on, the end of H3 totally left it open.

  • I appreciate the attempt OP, but people are stubborn and are likely not to change. I was reading about a first hand account of someone who actually played Halo 4. Someone made the excuse that 343 was paying him to say good things. Haters won't change. Now for MY rebuttal. Minecraft. I played for about an hour with a couple friends. I understand what it's supposed to be, I just don't have the time to build grand things. It's just not my kind of game. But I gave it a chance, and deduced my opinion fairly. Halo 4. I'm actually excited for it, so no need to explain. CoD. I play for the single player mostly. I enjoy some zombies, Spec Ops, or the Survival mode in MW3 (my personal favorite). Yes the community sucks, and the online is unbalanced as hell. I hate the lack of matchmaking. It's not cool when I hop on the MP for the very first time... and there is a few generals on the other team, who had likely prestiged a couple times already. Sometimes I got lucky, but the unbalance is just too much. So I stay offline with CoD. I'll probably borrow BlOps2 for the single player and some zombies, but likely won't buy it. Also, shame on you OP. CoD 2 was probably the best one. Go play it. [Edited on 10.07.2012 11:07 AM PDT]
