This isn't just true for video games. It true for most things in life. Except things like water, and, you know, air.



and parfaits.

People that are afraid of swimming don't like water. And what about air pollution? That's when people don't like air. I don't think there is a single thing in existence that everyone likes. It's kind of sad when you think about it.


 sure there is.  love, thrill, good food, sense of accomplishment, sense of self-worth, there's a ton.  



the Wii is an epidemic.

I'd assume SMB1 or SMB3 would be the closest...

I agree. Those games at their time were instant hits.

This is a stupid question. There isn't one thing in this world that everyone likes, why would there be one game, even a classic one?

You may love SMB3 and remember playing it ground up, but show it to a 12 year old who's never played a 2D platformer and only PS2 games, they may think it's the most boring thing ever.

Super Mario 64 may be one of the greatest games ever that you think every gamer who plays in 3D place should love, but the Madden nuts might hate it (and despite what you think, just because you don't like the game doesn't make them not gamers).

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was a fantastic game that will probably never see a better, but what does that matter to people that don't like Zelda games.

Halo was supposed to be the game revolutionized FPS controls on a console but not nearly everyone likes it.

God of War was a fun game but many people found the gameplay dull and repetitive.

Street Fighter II is supposed to be the best fighting game ever but there are a good deal of people that just plain hate it. 


Is that paragraph pointing to me? I'm 12. I grew up with a brother who had a PlayStation and a PlayStation 2 (He is currently 24 years old. He also had a Sega Genisis but it got ruined befour I was born) And even thought I never played SBM 3, I bought SMB 1 from the Virtual Console and I LOVED it. While my friend (15 years old) hated it so much.

I hate Goldeneye 64. It's just a typical third party, first-person shooter, movie game. How it became this popular is beyond me. I view it the same as any other third party game that no one likes, except many other people like this game.


You see, many of the games that you may declare likable by all, I dislike. In a way, I don't want to dislike them, for it continues to prove to me that there is no game that everyone likes.


PS3owner on 29 July 2007

@alex, you do know that goldeneye came out over 10 years ago in a time when the only other shooter was duke nukem and doom style games, plus goldeneye had 4 player split screen, so how could you say it was a typical third party FPS game?



Relias on 29 July 2007

I didn't like Goldeneye at all. I Loved Perfect Dark though. On topic however. I say no. You can't make a game everyone likes. There's too many various tastes. Then again if everyone liked one system or one game(type of game) then where would the industry be??



Boycotting the following:

1. Yoshi: He ate my car and spit out a toaster.

2. Igglybuff: Totally false advertisement. You can have as many as you like they don't buff nothing.

3. the Terms Hardcore/Softcore... We're talking Video Games. Not Porn.

4. The term Casual as relates to Gamers: We make them sound like outsider's that happen to play games.  If that were the case they'd own a PS3.

5. Donuts.... Beacause I drink Beer...... and the biggest fan of Donuts hates Beer.

6. Boycotts: Their so lame.
