wow, you guys don't complain this much when killzone 2 comes out, or Call of Duty 6, or FPS 9348284 comes out.

such whiners and complainers...

 

KZ 2 and CoD 6 actually appear to be good games while Dead Space (imo) was shit to begin with, perhaps that has something to do with it for some? You do realize than some folks earnestly don't like something without being either a fanboy or an idiotic sheep (like you suggest in sync with BengaBenga) or both.

Stop being so full of yourselves, lately, no one is entitled to any kind of opinion in here without being labelled some kind of driveling idiot. Now, of course, I didn't like Bioshcok, F.E.A.R or Crysis at all so perhaps my opinion on the matter doesn't count (since, clearly, I dare not to like highly reviewed games, I mean, I get that a lot in here)?

I made a thread stating that the game was anounced. It was then filled with 50 posts complaining it was a on-rails game. Then 5 more threads spawn up saying the game sucks based on 1 peice of information. It is an on-rails shooter.

I don't care if you like the game or not, but with no information at all this amount of complaining is just uncalled for. The game has potential, it looks good. It may not be your cup of tea, but that doesn't autimatically make the game suck so much that EA is now irrelavant.

 

 

Well that is, I'll agree, very silly. I try to hold off on passing judgement until I get to play or at least see the games myself in my living room or on my PC (gameplay vids can't always be trusted either though, some games look brillantly fun when you watch someone play and then fall short when you play yourself, like GT IV for me), especially with the amount of high profile games that have let me down this gen and the amount of underdogs that have surprised me positively (in the case of Dead Space, I hated the entire concept on PS360/PC so I strongly doubt that the Wii version, however it plays out, will yield anything in way of satisfaction for me).

The nagging and complaining on the boards here is a nuisance to be sure, but for me the problem lies in two things mainly; the trends and attitude of game reviewers, they really are quite predictable lately (almost every shooter with decent graphics and sound get good scores even if the gameplay and/or story is severely lacking, most casual games get shot down regardless of entertainment value etc) and the fact that complaining about something in here gets you branded with whatever label someone decides to award you. It seems many people are having problems differing between those who whine just to be assholes (like Wii/360 owners claiming every PS3 title is/will be shit, PS3/360 owners claiming every Wii title will be shit etc) and those who have honest gripes with a game or a game concept.

The one thing that I think is hilarious on the boards lately, amidst all the whining, is that most of our users claim that this is the "best gen ever". If such is the case, why are practically half the threads complaints about something or other? Personally, this has been the most boring gen for me as far as I can remember, I'm hoping it'll pick up soon though!
