Worst Reasons to Hate a Video Game

Having your own opinion is a far cry from adopting somebody else's. It's not easy to know what a game will be like to play until you try it out for yourself!

Don't let others influence your opinions.

Some retro video games have such great gameplay that they still feel fresh today, and even a few modern games surely have plenty of qualities that won't age. Plus, we can't stop time, so why should it stop our appreciation of things?

Why do people hate retro games?
Look at games that have been around since before any of us were born like chess.
Sport games like football (soccer) what about real life.
The worst retro games are CD-i and Virtual Boy.

And... your defense, no seriously what's your real defense?

This should be at the top. The politically correct people would be the ones complaining that a game doesn't suit their taste, then when the developer does something according to what they said, they are still not pleased.

Oh please this is the biggest complaint in the world. You just hate the human race for what they say nowadays.

There's no excuse to not practice some similar, easier games from the same genre first. I remember getting absolutely nowhere with shmups a while ago, but I tried Pop 'n Twinbee (which is fairly easy for a shmup-type game) to learn the ropes - I started to get much better at them and move on to the much more difficult Darius Gaiden. For pretty much any genre, working your way up from the bottom is a much more smooth and motivating approach than throwing yourself straight in the deep end.

Good gameplay is more important than attractive characters. Can't believe people actually hate games for this reason.

Favouring graphics over everything else is in fact one of the worst issues that has plagued modern video games. I appreciate the effort that has gone into graphics, but they shouldn't cast a shadow over gameplay. I'd much rather play a good game with awful graphics than a terrible game with amazing HD graphics any day.

Okay it may look like crap, but what if it plays great then what are you going to say next?

A game with mediocre graphics could still have amazing gameplay, story and music.

What counts most is the effort and passion put into making a game that plays beautifully. How much money goes into it doesn't matter as long as it's enjoyable, challenging and user-friendly.

A game that is low budget could still be amazing; a game that is high budget could still be awful.

This is just racist.

Not a reason to hate the entire game. If you dislike it, just turn the music off and play something of your liking.

Looping music over and over is the difference, but not 75% of the time.

This has Xbox fans written all over it.

Enough of this.
