Retro Revolution: Five Games Fanboys Need To Shut Up About

Hmmm, I don't know if this counts as a classic but I'm going to have to say Mass Effect. While it's not a horrible game, it was definitely over-hyped. I consider it the "Avatar" of the video game industry. Just about every aspect of that game was a disappointment to me.

Have to disagree. I don't think there are many trilogies as good as ME. The first game was the last one I played, and it was actually much better than I expected

I agree, Falx. Just can't get into it, and I've tried.

I only want a FF7 remake because I didn't spend more than 5 hours playing the original one, but not anywhere near fanboy-ism.

And I'm fed up of Mass Effect fanboys.

Chrono Trigger. Everyone always say to me that I have to play it. Well just for bugging me about it, I WON'T play it, so suck it!

but seriously you should totally play it

I tried Chrono Trigger, and it sucked. Or at least, it didn't age well. Horribly, actually.

Agreed. I found it to be one of the more stale jrpgs I've ever played

I think it aged better than FF7, I did enjoy it for a couple of hours when I played it last year.

Here is a even better list for you.

Anything with Mario
Anything with Zelda
Anything with Samus
Anything with Nathan Drake
Anything with Kratos
Anything with Crash Bandicoot
Anything with Master Chief
Anything with Gears of War (pick a character)

Anything about everything.

Any game that has ever had a sequel. How dare game company's cash in on a popular character! They must create something new and unique every single damn time!!!

E.T.? Never heard about the game.
Modern Warfare and Halo fanboys are quite annoying in their blind love of the series. The original Halo was amazing and I logged countless hours but that does not mean ever subsequent game was the best ever. The same goes with Modern Warfare 2.

Did you know that there actually are Final Fantasy games made before the seventh one? There's as many as six! A lot of FF fans don't seem to know that, sometimes.

I don't think ET has fanboys. It's just notorious for being bad

Didn't ET help bring on the video game crash in the 80's?

And killed Atari.

Yes I beleive 3 million cartridges are buried in new Mexico or something

ET has a landfill somewhere in the US thats filled with unsold cartridges.
Pokemon is Nintendos Madden essentially.
I like FF7 because it got me interested in the series again from a different perspective, of all the things I liked about it were the music and the villain. To say its the greatest of the series is a bit too far and I played a lot of the previous ones on emulators first.

No particular game makes me hate mindless fanatics. I hate them regardless. They're just so obnoxious. Sure, I've had to deal with the FF7 crowd, but the smaller posses for other games can be just as bad. Just yesterday, some twit got bent out of shape merely because I said, quite honestly, that I think Mario&Luigi: Superstar Saga is one of the worst games I've ever played. Seriously, did any of you even know that Superstar Saga has a zealous fanbase? I didn't, until yesterday.

I never heard of the game until your comment... will they come after me now too?

FF 7 fanboys nuff said

As far as Pokemon not changing much I'd have to disagree. The main premise is still the same but it defiantly isn't just the same game with new Pokemon anymore. The meta-game is so complicated. I only play casually for fun but have a friend who goes to competitions and crap and the normal player wouldn't even begin to touch on what goes on in those tournaments.

Of course it's still the same basic game for casual players just a new story with new creatures every time.

Kingdom Hearts! I loved the first game but that game was the worst fans ever. I can't be the only one sick of seeing fat girls, almost goth kids, and acne covered neckbeards walk around in public with their keyblade necklaces and prescription sunglasses. They're even worse on the internet

Strongly agree.

Except for loving the first game. Or any of them.

Let us not forget the mindless fanatics who hate a game for some reason or other, I belive I dislike them the most, because they hate you for liking said game.

Halo.

Hated the original, never played the sequel, and rented the third on a whim and hated it as well. Haven't played any since. Just let this franchise die already...

I like how WoW didn't even come up. Lets not forget how annoying it is to hear that. Not only is it true, but its actually an Everquest clone, and even then its really just a themepark game, not a WoW Clone.

WoW clones, WoW clones everywhere

The only thing more fun that playing WoW? Is talking about WoW.

I could nerd out about it for hours, even after playing for hours.

Diablo 3 has pretty much swept any interest in MoP under the table news wise. Instead of a rmah Id gladly swap gold from D3 into my WoW toons inventory, make it happen Blizzard and you could curb gold farming in WoW. Altho gold farming is active in D3 now...

Earthbound and Mother 3. I'll leave it at that.

I was mainly talking of the first game. I'm playing the second one now and its way better. I've never played an rpg where every dungeon has the exact same layout, until I played Mass Effect.

Yes the second one makes the biggest leap in quality I think. Although it is too bad some RPG elements were lost, like all of the stats and the attachments to weapons

That above comment was meant to be a reply to Chunibrow.

COD fanboys need to die a slow painful death

Hard question, because gaming is subjective.
