I dunno, looking at footage of Wo Long before release I thought I'd hate it because they wanted the Sekiro audience
Then I played it and it wasn't that at all and I actually love it so far
>I don't like game >You didn't play it >I did, here are my hours >Photoshop or filtered, call it >Game was actually pretty easy, it's just shit >Sure thing filtered troony owie zowie, another one bites the dust
People don't even watch gameplay, they watch a few "choice cuts" by their preferred streamer (that likely sucks ass) and then check SteamDB/Charts to see the player count and then post about it being trash if not at arbitrary large number.
>well how do you KNOW I'm going to shit on your plate? It hasn't even come out of my ass yet?
That's fine if you think a game looks like shit from trailers and gameplay footage, my only problem is that you homosexuals then proceed to spend threads b***hing about certain aspects and use regurgitate takes spewed by vidya journalists and e-celebs as your proof as to why that certain aspect is shit.
Yeah, there's something that looks like shit on the plate, but don't bullshit me and pretend like you know what that shit actually tastes like and expect me to take your critiques on it seriously.
>Last of us Part 2 >Game
It's a walking sim full to the brim with cutscenes. You occasionally shoot and run from stuff. I've played the first game myself, and even considering the far superior story, it was still extremely mid.
>I know nothing about the subject and have zero interest in ever learning anything at all about the subject >Now listen to me rant about the subject for 2 hours
Ganker not playing games was supposed to be a joke.
Reminder that 90% of people ITT cannot rotate an apple in their head, can't comprehend how they would feel if they skipped breakfast yesterday, and can't tell how good a game is by looking at gameplay.
>watch me trick people by saying two correct things and one incorrect thing >now watch me call people out for calling me out by saying what I said in the post at them

When it comes to trying to discuss anything with morons, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. The better option is to not entertain their homosexualry at all.
I may not have an opinion based on personal experience, but does that mean I can't listen to and follow opinions on people I trust, or judge gameplay footage based on my experience with other games within the genre?
I haven't got the time to play every single game under the sun
If many people with extensive knowledge and experience call something shit, chances are it's probably going to be shit, you don't have to go waste 100 hours on it yourself to come to the same conclusion
And I'm not talking about journos, but about actual experts
People who say this will not be pleased no matter what you do.
Any sane person will instead simply ask >Why?
And listen to what you think is wrong with the game.
People like this however just feel like you made a personal attack against them because they are stupid and feel very tribalistic about the things they like.
You can have an opinion on something you haven't played.
But don't be surprised or upset when people discard or belittle your opinion after you admit or make it clear you haven't played.
99% of posts in fighting game threads for example are just anons spouting moronic or straight up incorrect opinions that can only be made if you're only experience with the genre is watching it from a distance.
>I don't like how the gameplay looks based on watching replays and tournament streams >every pro player rants 24/7 about how much they hate the game >So I'm just not going to play the game
What is wrong with this?
>What is wrong with this?
Nothing, you don't like what you saw and now hold the opinion that it looks like something you don't want to play. Perfectly fine.
But if you start trying to lecture me on what intricacies of the gameplay make the game or genre as a whole shit I'm not listening to you and will probably call you homosexual.
I was talking with my friend who really likes the Arkham games about how bad suicide squad was and I mentioned that I knew it was going to be shit from the moment it was revealed. He then said that he had held out until release to form an opinion from word of mouth (which was that it sucked anyway)
Pattern recognition is a lost art
I really hate xv because it took the open world cancer. 13 at least has mildly interesting combat and doesn't waste your time with "hecking road trip me and the boys lol" and ubisoft like side quests and shit
Yes I played both and I want my time back
>you have to give the corporation money before you can dare criticize their game
That's all this actually means. Funny how no other industry in the world works this way.

>And of course in Portnoy's Complaint you've got the guy who's living near the water and he hated the noise from the local port, so he filed one of the very first port noise complaints in maritime law.

>>Well that is just your opinion
What a pointless statement. No shit it's just an opinion. Why are people so fragile they need to say something like this just to comfort themselves after hearing something they disagree with? The internet is filled with pussies.
You can have an opinion in the same way that "I don't think I'd like blue cheese so I won't eat it" is an opinion. It's extremely limited in value and is not even remotely comparable to an experienced opinion.
It would be one thing if all the haters on Ganker were like "I don't think I'd like this game so I don't play it or talk about it" but they're not satisfied with that. They HAVE to inject themselves into the conversation and spam their worthless secondary garbage. Their idea of being a "gamer" is being at the center of gaming-related meta drama, not actually playing video games.
Ganker described in one image
I'm pretty sure EA FC 24 is pretty boring and formulaic without needing to play it, but otherwise I don't disagree.
i played helldivers for an hour, then refunded it
its mid
>you haven't completed a game, you can't have an opinion about it
Fify, btw you can have an opinion regardless. I don't need to eat shit to know that I would not like it
I dunno, looking at footage of Wo Long before release I thought I'd hate it because they wanted the Sekiro audience
Then I played it and it wasn't that at all and I actually love it so far
>I don't like game

I don't need to taste feces to verify that it'll be awful in my mouth.
/thread
I can just watch gameplay and know if it's shit
People don't even watch gameplay, they watch a few "choice cuts" by their preferred streamer (that likely sucks ass) and then check SteamDB/Charts to see the player count and then post about it being trash if not at arbitrary large number.
Well that's on them
And on you when the shit spews from their mouths all over everyone they can find.
You dont eat video games though
You cant play a game by watching it
I never said anything about playing it. OP is wrong, I am right.
That's fine if you think a game looks like shit from trailers and gameplay footage, my only problem is that you homosexuals then proceed to spend threads b***hing about certain aspects and use regurgitate takes spewed by vidya journalists and e-celebs as your proof as to why that certain aspect is shit.
Yeah, there's something that looks like shit on the plate, but don't bullshit me and pretend like you know what that shit actually tastes like and expect me to take your critiques on it seriously.
100% of the times someone says this it's a disingenuous homosexual dismissing something that looks kind of alright at worst.
It's a really good idea to let people know you are butthurt about something. I certainly will not comment on games I haven't played anymore.
Last of Us 2 sucks more than your mom.
Have you played?
>Last of us Part 2

I hear zoomer slang and immediately zone out because nothing of value has been or will be said.
omg osaka?!?
the gollum game might be some kind of hidden gem after all
coolest post in the thread
>well how do you KNOW I'm going to shit on your plate? It hasn't even come out of my ass yet?

Why would I need to look at gameplay to know if a game is good. I can tell from the cover.
>watch me trick people by saying two correct things and one incorrect thing
>now watch me call people out for calling me out by saying what I said in the post at them
What's the incorrect statement, anon?
>mid
haha

Technically yes

>don't like how the gameplay looks
Who the fricks judges gamePLAY without PLAYING?
I don't care if you have played a game for 10000 hours when the only thing you can say about it is "I am having a blast".
metadoom is still epic
Is there a game developer here?
- For a bit talk
cringe

>shit tastes bad
>so you've ate it?
>NPC.jpg
No, I'm not watching Twilight or Fifty shades of grey to know they are fricking garbage.
nor the latest marvel slop for that matter
There's nothing wrong with that. What is though is how you get people like on Ganker literally making up lies to shit on a game.
It's almost as if you don't know anything about a game, most of the things you are going to say wont be true.
I'm not paying $70 or pirating for the privilege of calling a game shit, instead I'll use my eyes for free.
problem is that some people go "you didn't play the DLC? Your opinion doesn't matter" like with pic related
Worst FF game and it's not even close
there's a reason why I never touched the DLCs.
The one button gameplay + zero difficulty
uuhhh but did you actually play it ? checkmate
>13 is actually the worst, Lightninggays be damned
Not a Lightninggay, but 13 is nowhere near the worst. Flawed but misunderstood
I really hate xv because it took the open world cancer. 13 at least has mildly interesting combat and doesn't waste your time with "hecking road trip me and the boys lol" and ubisoft like side quests and shit
Yes I played both and I want my time back
>you have to give the corporation money before you can dare criticize their game
That's all this actually means. Funny how no other industry in the world works this way.
You are right. It's totally normal to talk about how you don't like books you haven't read.
>hasn't seen Ganker
I guess other industries does work that way then.
>And of course in Portnoy's Complaint you've got the guy who's living near the water and he hated the noise from the local port, so he filed one of the very first port noise complaints in maritime law.
>game is mid
>how do you know? you haven't even played it
>ok I played the game, it's still mid
>it only gets good at the 100 hour mark
>ok I played for 100 hours, it's still mid

Reality.

opinions are like buttholes
