Gamer traits that I hate....
13thDragon | 4:25 AM on 12.27.2008 11 comments


So it's like 4:30 in the morning and I'm drunk. AWESOME GET!!!! I'm also bored. Anyways, I've been looking at a bunch of game sites and realized that there is a bunch of gamer traits that I hate. So without further ado, my top 10 list of gamer traits that I hate.

10. People that skip cut-scenes the first time through.

09. People who don't read the tutorials and then ask me "What do I do?"

08. People who use cheats, exploits and glitches in Left 4 Dead.

07. People who don't read dialogue text from NPC's.

06. People who "boost" for Achievements.

05. Console specific fanboys.

04. Team killers.

03. People who think they are good at fighting games because they totally spazzed out on the controller and accidentally won a fight but don't know how to do a single special move.

02. Anyone who still thinks "teabagging" is hilarious.

01. People who think online multi-player is more important than a story driven single player experience.

Discuss.

100% agree with the last one. Everytime I see a 'Omg this game shuld ave multyplayer!' thread on forums (Xbox.com are usually the worst for it, funnily enough) for games like Bioshock, Mass Effect and TFU, I die a little inside.

Games that have mp and singleplayer are normally both half-bad. The sg story isn't told to it's fullest. and the mp is usualy glitchy and takes no skill.

"10. People that skip cut-scenes the first time through."

Agree.
Vitamin Awesome's Destructoid Blog
I especially agree with #3. It's surprising to see people still punching and kicking when you're a full screen away in SSFIITHD. It's won them a couple matches surprisingly, but hearing them talk like they're coming back from EVO2008 makes me throw up a little in my mouth.

HEY, TEA BAGGING IS FUCKING HILARIOUS!!!

But about the first one, sometimes I want to play the game so bad and sometimes the story really doesn't even matter, I just skip it. I try to restrain myself though.

I agree with all 10 points (well i kinda like to teabag someone if they have been on my back the entire match and i finally kill them after like 5 attempts),and i would probably add.

11. People who give their opinion like its a fact on a game they have never played.


12.Elitist scum in online games such as socom and mgo who look down on lower ranked players, when in reality they are only up there because they have no life and/or no other commitments.


13.People who play soulja boy "songs" through their mics/headsets.


14:People using their grannys dial up to play online therefore lagging out the entire match with their shitty internet.

15 Kilik... that is all

I will watch the first round of cut scenes for about 25 seconds, and if it sucks, I'm not giving it a chance for the rest of the game. And they usually suck. As does NPC dialogue. All NPCs who give you a quest should dump it into a log book. After 20+ years of thumbing through inane NPC dialogue text trees, I think I deserve a break.

I'm guilty of 10, 7, and 1. Especially 1.

Sure single player experiences are great... For 10 hours (Average). What do I do with the game after that? Nothing. Sure if it's a great game I replay it (See: Resident Evil 4, Wind Waker, PoP: Sands of Time). A majority of single player titles however aren't worth a second play.

I'm not arguing that single player games should die but games do benefit from multiplayer components... Halo, Call of Duty, Gears of War, etc. Really there's no reason to skimp out on a multiplayer mode (Unless it's impossible with your type of game). It gives the game replay value.

Look at portal. An amazing experience but a grand total of 4 hours for me (2 plays). I would love to see a portal multiplayer component. Even if it's just HL Deathmatch with portals thrown in.

My last name is Kruger. I was born on Friday the 13th. Seriously.

I live in New Orleans.

I love video games. All systems, all consoles, all of them. You will just as soon see me playing a 1980's arcade game as you would the latest 360 release.

I love any and all horror games. I'm a horror fanatic.

I'm also a fighting game whore, especially 2-d fighters.

I enjoy playing old school games on emulators, and love finding old school games I've never heard of before.

I just got a new gaming tv! A 40" Sony Bravia LCD! It's gorgeous for games. Hit me up on Xbox Live : TheX13thXDragon.

Other shit I like, in no particular order:
Transformers, G.I. Joe, books, MC Chris, Lost, dragons, Puss N Boots from Shrek, H.P. Lovecraft, The Dark Tower, Tech N9ne, photography, samurai, Staind, animals, beer, X-Files, lots of other shit.
