What massively popular title do you despise?

I_hate_you_THIS_much

The gaming industry is a huge and varied thing and we have games ranging from cooking simulators to flesh eating gore fests. So it’s obvious that there are a lot of games out there that won’t appeal to you and that’s fine. But are there any really popular titles that actually annoy you with their simple existence?

I am not a fan of The Sims, I think the idea is stupid and boring but I’m not irritated it exists. Lots of people find the games fun and it causes me no harm so I can even write about the upcoming expansion packs and the like.

Then you have trading card games that I don’t get and can’t even write about because I simply don’t understand the fascination with them at all. They just have no point in my mind but again they don’t irritate me.

However there is one franchise out there that gives me a physical headache when I read about it. I literally get upset seeing a trailer or listening to people drone on about it. It’s stupid and yet it is one of the most popular games on the planet.

I’m talking about the evil that is Pokemon… seriously look at this new trailer released 2 days ago showcasing some gameplay… in 2 days it’s received over a million hits but it’s complete and utter garbage. I hate it.

Now I’m not saying that everyone else should hate it… just that everyone with a bit of common sense and taste should… but even that’s not the point.

I realise my reaction is actually a little insane over this game and I was wondering if I’m totally alone here. Or is there a game, franchise or style that gets you hot under the collar?

          I actually like the singleplayer of that which you do not name. I do not despise the entire series…. Although the latest iteration was quite an irritation. But its only the last one. I liked the rest… mostly.

    But anyway, I feel about the sims the same way you feel about pokemon. Can’t stand the sims games. Irritates me beyond belief and I cannot fathom why anyone would want to play it.

        I played pokemom Red/Blue/Yellow back in the before days (and I loved it). Played some of the more modern ones, and there’s exactly 0 evolution in like a hundred games. Only more, increasingly stupid creatures. Gamefreak has been selling the same damned game for twenty years now.

    “but it’s complete and utter garbage. I hate it.” …………. sheesh, I am pretty hype for this game, I would not call this garbage ….. it’s the first Pokemon with a new battle system and just a new Pokemon game in a new style (Finally), I’ve got common sense and I love Pokemon, I don’t condone all the random iterations, but hey, they doing something new finally.

    Army Shooters are garbage, Battlefield 4 looks like a diamond but it is nothing more than a turd wrapped up in sparkles. Ghosts? Kill me so I can be a ghost and not have to play another clone. Then we have Sports games that are basically the same game just incremented by 1. FIFA in a nutshell

    2011: Look, FIFA has realistic dribbling

    2012:Look, FIFA has realistic dribbling, but just .. more realistic than the year before

    2013:Look, FIFA has realistic actions, press L3 to bite your opponent

    Ye Ye I know …. OUT

      Look I get why Fifa is on the same list as COD, but I trade in my old Fifa and get about R150 and then stump up a further R250 and have a new one that I play live…. I play 2-3 hours almost daily, that equates to a hell of a lot of game time for just R250!!! So maybe my Fifa addiction is good for one thing: My wallet!!! (My wife will not agree!!! She hates Fifa!!!)

            You’re mistaken. I assumed your ban hammer was because of Twakkie’s reference to Justin Bieber irritating him no matter how many times he heard it. Because a ban hammer couldn’t possibly be a rational response to a barely palatable distaste for DOTA 2. Indeed, I suspect your assumption that I’m a troll should afford you the same punishment you hope to dish out to everyone else. Your hammer, sir. Use it. 😉

    Not the full series but just that one.

    When i see news headers on updates or the PVP that is still not in or how they made it super easy now and has blah blah blah…

    The fact it exists and what it is, compared to the previous counterparts still gets me angry.
    Irritaded is a word that definitely does not describe how much this game made me hate blizzard as a whole.

    Funnily enough there’s nothing I actively hate. There’s plenty of things I have no interest in, but I just ignore them. I think the more people that start gaming the better off the whole industry, irrespective of what they’re playing right now.

    I had the same argument with someone who complained that Twilight was bad & the writing was terrible. It doesn’t matter if it is or not, the important point was that more people were reading, and if they enjoyed reading, they’d do more of it, and that’s a good thing even if you don’t personally approve of what they’re reading.

      I agree. There is no reason to hate anything. Like you said, just ignore it. To this day I haven’t played a CoD game. Not because I listen to all the hate spewed at it, was just not interested due to my lack of proper internet at home. Last year I got adsl at home and I went with Battlefield.

      On the topic of Twilight. If it actually got people reading and instead of just watching the horrible movies, then I would agree with you. But I doubt it.

        After the shit ending that had no conclusion and was only designed to tease in order to milk the shit out of the franchise, THEN JADE LEFT ANGRY because nobody bought her game, I went enough is enough.

    I can’t point out specific games. Just games like Dota, Diablo, MW, SC2… and LoL… (hate me for this but..meh)

    These type of games that carry the same shitstained stigma a Justin Bieber poster has on a 12 year old girl’s wall. I can’t stand them, “ehrmagerd!! Check the LoL champs on twitch, watch them Koreans pwn them Nubs!” Overrated and overplayed like any fab set loose on this world by its current money hunger and retarded generation.

    And I fear much like everyone else that this won’t ever change. Just glad there are still some developers out there who still strive for greatness.

      What may not be fun for you, may be fun for someone else. Sports fans can recite all the rules or whatever when they’re watching a sport game, I can do the same but only with a Pokemon battle. It’s our own individual human interest. It’s like when people ask me, “why do people do that?” I say I don’t know, why don’t you try asking them? Have you asked someone who likes to play Pokemon why they like it? Simple answer: We enjoy playing it.

    Pokemon is a children’s battle game/anime battle, there is no reason to despise it. The Sims is that Tamagoti concept of taking care of something. A guy playing The Sims = take your cloths off and get into the hot tub and where is the sex option.

    What massively popular title do I despise? Call of Duty!!! Bad for the gaming industry. Creating this uncontrolled rage that turns normal people into assholes. Having gaming developers, instead of creating something new and improved, they try to match Cod. People playing the same damn game every day for the last six years and expecting all other games to be like Cod or else their nerd rage will go out of control.

    Looks like Team Rocket’s blasting off again.

    One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. You don’t like Pokemon, I don’t like Fifa. This is just the way we are. I don’t see how common sense fits into liking a particular franchise, but I suppose taste does. However, everyone’s taste is different, so are you implying that people should have your taste? That’s quite arrogant. Hate the game, not the gamer. I play games to have fun, not to be judged by others for what I like to play.

            I have honestly thought quite a lot about it and am no closer to an answer. The best answer I can give, is that I despise it when people blow a game up to such proportions. I like being able to decide what I like and what I don’t, and for some reason I just don’t enjoy them. Not ambiguous at all, but I’m trying to push two scripts out before 5 so my brain isn’t really coherent at the moment.

    This whole COD, Battlefield, Black Ops thing I do not get, to be honest.

    I do not understand them at all. But hey, you can play it. I might even enjoy watching someone play it for a while.

    BUT, dry boring games that promise FUN but just tease it all the way through (Europa Univerlas – I am pointing my finger at you – and before I got told I found the game too difficult, I was good at it. then, as I learnt more of how to play, I felt betrayed). Spreadsheet managers with fancy graphics.

    Now Civilization is a spreadsheet manager that feels like a game.
