Forums - Gaming - Has a fanbase ever ruined something for you?

Generally it is when fans hype up a game to no end, calling it the second coming of Christ, but when I play it I find it terrible. So I blame them for getting my expectations up only to be crushed really fast.

Prime examples are Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and God of War games.

Big parts of this forum.

Black font on a white background shouldn't hurt you.

It's not the bits that annoy me. It's the realization that such people are allowed to exist.

Would certainly be less annoying if they wouldn't pretend to be something else.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

No. I don't let people's actions determine my feelings towards something related to those actions. For example, I don't hate Smash Bros. Melee just because those dumbasses at Apex were acting like man-children over it.


The best way to look at things to be honest, teach me the ways.



I wasn't aware there was any fuss about Bayonetta 2. What happened? All that matters is that it was one of the best games of 2014, no doubt about it.

That's true Sir Gary. But the fans who played the original game on PS3 and 360 weren't happy about the sequel being a Nintendo exclusive, have a look at these and lose faith.

Might & Magic got killed by the Heroes of Might & Magic fanbase. Twice. First when they forced New World Computing to revise the ending of Might & Magic VII (making the good guys win instead of the bad guys and introducing the Conflux fraction instead, because no futuristic references in our Heroes of Might & Magic series) and then again when hailing Ubisofts HoMM V as the grand savior of the series, killing off the whole original NWC Universe and it's unique lore.

Shooters in general. I loved playing shooters in the 90' when they didn't took themselves seriously and instead invoked Rule of Cool (especially Duke Nukem and Serious Sam, which turned it up to eleven and ran with it). Nowadays shooters seem to have to be absolutely dead serious and completly straight faced to even get developed. No more killing hordes of ludicrous kritters with even more ludicrous weapons while dodging incoming fire and collecting Medpacs, ammo and even bigger guns.

Melee elitists. 'nuff said.

Oh right. Something VERY silly then. I assumed it was some kind of political correctness thing like "keep boobs away from our nintendo" or something like that.



I think it's dumb to let people ruin things for you. Simply ignore those extremists and keep enjoying. The PlayStation extremists are annoying at the moment. However, wasn't the Xbox extremists annoying last gen as well?! Nintendo apologists are annoying as well, but NONE of that stopped me from buying a PS4, Xbox One, and a Wii U.

I will say this. I can't stand where people list one company (like one of the big 3) to act as if they're the only ones with annoying fans, and don't list any other. Everyone has them. You show bias when you do that instead of objectivity.

I neber owned a playstation console because of the fanbase. That tradition broke with Last of Us. I cant see the same happening anytime soon.



League of Legends community was reason enough for me to drop the game very quickly. Quickly found the Dota 2 community not much better and I've since decided to leave the genre alone.
