I Feel Like Pissing People Off, So Here's More Opinions

Those of you who followed me at 1up may remember a blog entitled, "I Feel Like Pissing People Off, So Here's Opinions," which was exactly what it sounded like. Well, I thought it was about time to give a part two to this because well that's just the kind of guy I am.

  • Skyward Sword sucked. You already planning your rebuttle, you're the one I'm talking to. You don't give the game a fair shake, you loved it the second you saw Miyamoto struggling to play the game. Fact of the matter is, when Link swinging the opposite direction as I just did and that has him hit an electric weapon and die is as common as it is, there is no way for the game to be anything but shit. If that game took out every Zelda reference and was a Move game, it would be trashed more than PS All Stars Battle Royale
  • Choosing Vita over 3DS or really any current gen system you don't own right now is stupid.
  • People who think we should still boycott Xbox One even though they did exactly what we asked them to are fanboys who would have backed Sony if the situations are reversed.
  • That said, getting a PS4 only because you just want on next gen console is perfectly acceptable since spending $100 more on an Xbox One over getting a PS4 is even more idiotic.
  • Getting every trophy or achievement for any reason other than "I just want to keep playing this game" is pathetic
  • Anyone who uses the term "dudebro" for anything other than making fun of people who use the term "dudebro" sucks
  • Indie games are just as if not more derivative than AAA games. Don't believe me? Go check them and tell me how many of them aren't 2D sidescrollers/platformers.
  • Resident Evil and Persona have one thing in common: 4 is awesome, fuck the rest
  • Remember when I made that most overrated games list? If I did it today number one would be Journey.
  • If you are a loyal (as in continually buy most if not every game in the mainline series) fan of any of these series and bitch about X series delivering more of the same, you're an idiot
    • Assassin's Creed
    • Mario (That goes double for Mario Kart)
    • Kingdom Hearts
    • Pokemon
    • Dynasty Warriors
    • God of War
    • Halo
    • Gears of War
    • Call of Duty 
      • The reason I put those last four in despite being the target of most of this criticism is because my opinion of 90% of gamers is so low I can't expect them to piece two and two together
  • These fanbases all suck:
    • Dark Souls/Demon's Souls- We get it, your tastes are so much better than ours. 
    • Mass Effect- I can't believe I'm grouped together with you crybabies
    • Anything Nintendo- Hey, these guys can make bad games too you know
    • JRPG- You know those shitty games you think are better than Fallout and Mass Effect just because you attack by picking a command on a menu? Yeah, they're actually shit.

 Hey I'm A Dark Souls fanboy! Doesn't mean I'm better than you. And you go shitty at me when I wasn't a fan of Mass Effect, and now I join that fanbase and I'm an idiot? :p

 "Indie games are just as if not more derivative than AAA games. Don't believe me? Go check them and tell me how many of them aren't 2D sidescrollers/platformers."
 Been saying this for years. 

  Also, Resident Evil 2 is amazing.

I never said you're an idiot. Just a crybaby. But seriously, you're one of the good ME fans, who calls out its bullshit but still loves it.

Blake Turner Staff Writer

That's how fans should be with every game. I rave about Dark Souls, but Blighttown is still a fucking mess.

No. You suck at Skyward Sword, and Miyamoto is a gift from the heavens.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

07/27/2013 at 07:16 PM

It's not a gift from the heavens unless it gets me drunk.

I cannot wait for a Miyamoto game based off of his drinking binges with Iwata and company.

Yeah. Gamers suck, man. Games too. I think I'm gonna go sell all my systems and games and wash my hands of the hobby altogether, because it's only going to get worse from here on out.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

07/27/2013 at 07:16 PM

There will still be stuff to enjoy though.

Doubtful, dude. You've put a pretty fine point on how much all of this shit sucks. There's no reason to believe that it's gonna suddenly stop sucking next generation. It's probably gonna look prettier, but it's still gonna slurp away just the same.

And really, even if a miracle happened and suddenly videogames stopped being total shit-suckers, you gotta consider that gamers aren't going to suddenly grow the hell up and stop being insufferable little pieces of shit. I mean, even if they were capable of that sort of growth, this is the internet, where acting like mentally-stunted manchildren isn't just an expectation, it's a pastime. With social features being important cornerstones of both Sony and Microsoft's respective next-gen consoles, I'm not about to increase my exposure to these Cheeto-stained social-rejects. Not when I'd already like to fire them out of a cannon and into the heart of the Sun.

So yeah, if you believe that shit's gonna get better, I pity you. Almost as much as I would if I thought that you actually believed any of this shit. :P

Love the indie game comment.  So, the only reason to get a vita is if you alrady own everything else?

Casey Curran Staff Writer

07/27/2013 at 07:17 PM

I actually bought one because I love the hardware, but I was just saying, if I didn't own a PS3, 360, Wii, or 3DS, yeah, I would have bought those instead. Plus I bought one just a couple months after launch when people were still making games for it.

I also hear that we have one less derivative indie to deal with.  Thank you Mr. Fish for being unable to stand the heat.

Vita isn't that horrible. It does lack new software, but it is a nice upgrade to the psp and psp games off the playstation store look gorgeous on the OLED screen. I only wish PS store would add more JRPGs and PSOne games. Old games really do look really good on Vita. No joke. Looking forward to Dragon's Crown, Ys Celcetta and FF X & X-2.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

07/27/2013 at 07:18 PM

I agree on its strengths, but it is that horrible. Mostly because I didn't actually say it was a piece of shit, just worse than anything else out on the market. I still love whenever I get to play the thing and really wish Crash Bandicoot was on it.

You left out all of the generic modern day war simulators/FPS's. Collar Duty, Holler Booty, Tooty Fruity!

I don't think the Xbox 1 should be boycotted,shocker I know. lol. I don't love microsoft but at least they finally listened to reason when pushed into a tight corner.

The only thing I find messed up now is a small but vocal group of people are trying to pass around a petition to get the Xbox 1 changed back to the way it was when it first launched. Granted, some of the original features might have been kind of nice but MOST of the original ideas were complete bullshit. But apparently some people want 24 hour curfews, spy cam survelliance , and an hour check in limit when playing their games at a friend's house. (sighs) Why are there always people trying to fuck up a good thing,Cas?

Honestly, having skipped this generation, I remain pretty calm about all that you said, dudebro.

Brutal honesty is fun.

Zelda has been in decline since Link to the Past, maybe even then. Goofy NPCs that spew jibberish, baby puzzles, no challenge, no danger, shitty sidekick who won't leave you alone.  And they're wasting their time making HD Wind Waker, one of the most hated entries in the series. It's over Nintendo

95% of modern AAA and indie games suck dick and are derivative of games I played in the 90s.  The only differnece is indies don't have to cater to the retarded masses if they don't feel like it.

Any RPG made after 2001 sucks shit, whether JRPG, Ass Effect, or Flailout 3.

 Trophies/cheevos are for mongoloids and cheapen game design.

 The entire Xbox brand should be boycotted on general principle. It's PC gaming for babies and the mentally challenged.  Airhead won't be satisfied until Microsizzle completely destroys the hobby. They're halfway there.

 Journey is for people who hate video games but love being pretentious artfags.  Nice sight-seeing tour you got there, Sony.

I couldn't be any more excited over WW HD. Fucking love that game. And one of the reasons is I love the goofy NPCs, they're awesome. Wish it was harder, but nothing's perfect. And we both know that RPG comment isn't true man, I know how much you love Demon's Souls and FF XII. Plus pretty sure you don't play Pokemon, the best JRPG out there.

Fuck your opinions Greenman!.. I'm writing this before reading the article because Trollololololol

And I thought you wore those sunglasses because it looked cool..... now I know it's because your an agent of Microsoft! Nah I don't think a total bycott would be good, that would just Sony the full monopoly, they got spanked hard so thats enough I suppose... as for them selling us out with e mails and skype, that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth that just won't go away, still it's gonna happen regardless if it's Microsoft or some other company that sells us down the river. I still really want Killer Instinct though..... what to do.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

07/29/2013 at 08:14 PM

I really want Sunset Overdrive and Halo 5, so I'll probably get one eventually.

Ahhh Greenman, what would be you without your brutal statements. It ain't a Greenman party with blogs like this after all.

"Skyward Sword sucks": Let's not better get into that, since I think we almost got into a flame war over your Zelda ranking blog at 1up.

  • "Choosing Vita over 3DS or really any current gen system you don't own right now is stupid": Seeing as the Vita is not at its prime moment and the 3DS finally made its right step and is getting better..... yeah.
      • "Resident Evil and Persona have one thing in common: 4 is awesome, fuck the rest": Ohh, screw you, i'm enjoying Persona 3.
      • Kinda surprised that there hasn't been a single troll or raging fanboy here. Maybe the exclusion of the Anonymous commenting has something to do with it.

Casey Curran Staff Writer

07/29/2013 at 08:14 PM

That wasn't a flame war. I'd actually like to continue that argument. I didn't like Persona 3 at all.

Alex-C25

07/29/2013 at 09:44 PM

Ahh okay. I was just afraid that I would continue till the argument scalated in a flame war. Maybe give me time to finish Skyward Sword and we'll continue that.

Whoa.. I'm considered to be a 'hipster' for loving Dark Souls/Demon's Souls..

Dammit...

Nah, you love things for reasons other than to be ironic. Can't be a hipster with that attitude.

Same here, it's always used like it's a valid critique of a game too. As if a game's audience can make it worse.
