Forums - Gaming Discussion - Most abused words in gaming

Saying something is Generic or Overrated. For such a fun hobby people sure love being negative.

We're looking for "abused" words, not just words you don't like.



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

Oh.



I'm surprised no one said HD / True HD / Full HD yet.

During the PS3/360/Wii gen everything was about it.

Oddly, many of the best selling games on that generation were 480p Wii games or sub-HD ports of PC games on the HD Twins.

Oh.

Shameless plug, I love it.

Also, a well written piece.

"gimmick" has been abused to death.

When someone calls somethings a "gimmick" just because it's something remotely different from the norm, really annoying.

GG / Good Game

99% of the time I see this get used is when one team rolls the other team.

Totally agree. GG has been utterly destroyed over the years that it's become as common as "hello" when interacting with a person/group. It's lost all meaning that people end up using it even when they outright lost or outright won.

I've also noticed that while everyone parrots "GG", whenever someone like me breaks that circle with "bg", I'm instantly met with "lol salty" and other typical insults, as if they hate their parroting cycle being broken.
