Opinionated Idiots and rant
atheistium \| 5:35 PM on 10.23.2008	56 comments

So I've been receiving some really stupid messages. This guy sent me a few stating that I knew nothing about games and that because I don't have a high end pc and a 1080p tv etc etc I am not a true gamer etc etc. Crysis is the best game evar!!1onoeneELEVEN

Frustratingly I replied saying that I didn't enjoy Crysis that much and thought the story was a bit generic. Though my PC runs games like Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2 and I was happy with that. I went back to playing Fable 2 and enjoying my evening.So I get this sent to me. What is this man on about? So instead of arguing with him via text I sent him a voice chat invite.

Some 29 year old man was sat there telling me how he's played ALL the AAA titles and he knows everything. I know nothing. If he knew I was a GIRL he would not of contacted me (even though the inside xbox has a picture of me on it...) and that because my bio said that people should not contact me for COD5 keys (as I am being asked for them) that I am a vein person and think I know everything about games. /sigh

I tried to reason with him. Telling him it's his opinion to enjoy Crysis but he was having none of it. Team Fortress 2 is apparently an over simplistic game. Fable 2 is not free roaming (urmm?) and is too scripted.... it's... a RPG/Action? .. aren't they supposed to be scripted to some degree? I tried to say I just prefer things like Fable etc and then he went on about how COD5 is nothing on Crysis and how Crysis has the best physics ever and that no game for 5 years will beat it etc. While I don't know much on in game coding and physics all I know that Crysis is famous for is the fact when you pile barrels up and knock them down it looks cool. Oh and that there is an awesome LEGO mod for it....

Am I wrong to not thing Crysis is the greatest thing ever? Or am I such a simple person and should go get a better job and buy a 1080p tv and high end pc and every console ever because this guy does.

Also if you have time tell your opinions to that guy ;-) Just don't let him know I sent ya! hahahaha~

This is your mistake:

"So instead of arguing with him via text I sent him a voice chat invite. "

You just justified his troubles.

This is what you get for fraternising with aceybongos to get your xbox.com 'gamer of the month' moved to inside xbox.

Crysis is like the holy mecca for poopie heads.

Also, he spelled 'sacrilege' wrong.

Welcome back to the C-Blogs, Lauren.

Also, sadly, you run into a lot of idiots like this on the Internet. I have learned to just ignore them.

Rockvillian says:
(# 6) on 10/23/2008 17:54

Your opinions are both valid, his just reeks of trying too hard, and I'm sure he'll do and say anything to justify all the money dropped on gaming in order to buy his elite status (that he uses to belittle and throw down people like you).

Also, you win double points for staying civil and reasoning with him, explaining you uh... just like playing games. Yay!

Sharpless says:
(# 7) on 10/23/2008 18:08

Team Fortress 2 is overly simplistic? Fuck him. Go over to that guy's home and rape him, Lauren. And not in the nice way. Bloody enormous idiot.

AngelsDontBurn says:
(# 8) on 10/23/2008 18:09

Lolololololol.

I dubbed Crysis Korean Toss 2008, only because it was fun for a bit. But an amazing story was hardly existent.

Technophile says:
(# 9) on 10/23/2008 18:14

I have to say people like this annoy me a great deal as well. I would just block him and ignore it. He obviously has no idea what he's talking about and if he really is 29 then I sure hope he's got better things to do then act like a cunt on XBL.

Drakonikarma says:
(# 10) on 10/23/2008 18:15

This guys just one of those people that think a game is better by the amount of raw shit it has. Having the blind ignorance to trade the fun of actually playing a game that you are interested in and really appreciate for the chance of 'playing' a tech demo isn't something you should be proud of.

brainderailment says:
(# 11) on 10/23/2008 18:21

If he truly likes Crysis that much, he clearly has no clue what's going on.

Daxelman says:

Man, times like this....

:(

(# 14) on 10/23/2008 18:42

Well now that you provided his gamertag we can all report him!

How does someone even compare Crysis and Fable? It doesn't make any bloody sense.

Samit Sarkar says:
(# 15) on 10/23/2008 18:48

Half left beat me to it. The fuckhead couldn't even spell his Gamertag correctly (it's "sacrilege"), so just ignore what he says.

Jordan Grim Devore says:
(# 16) on 10/23/2008 18:48

Plain and simple, he is a whore (of the graphics variety).

Mushman says:
(# 17) on 10/23/2008 18:51

Woah, that's one hell of a prick right there.

Best of luck in dealing with him, it's great that you gave his GT to the Dtoiders, they can do the 'dirty' work!! :)

But I must ask, what drove you to add him in the first place, delete his sorry ass! ;)

Sharpless says:
(# 18) on 10/23/2008 18:52

Samit is racist towards the illiterate.

Tubatic says:
(# 19) on 10/23/2008 18:52

gamers like that make me want to turn off my online functionality on the 360.

also, wth is up with the gamer channel for that game. I really should turn that off, but I feel like I'll miss something if I do . . .

Dale Jupiter says:
(# 20) on 10/23/2008 18:52

That is why I refrain from talking to people on Xbox live.

swiftly says:
(# 21) on 10/23/2008 18:56

what Samit said. And XBL is waaaaaaaay scarier than the real world

CALkulon says:
(# 22) on 10/23/2008 19:02

1) Shoop together/steal a 'photo' of your new mega setup (PS3+360+60" plasma TV+9.1 surround+jacuzzi), send that his way.

2) Watch him squirm.

(OR, block him.)

3) ????
4)PROFIT!

But seriously, why did you even waste your time/breath on this dipshit? He's clearly just a graphics/physics whore (although I would doubt his physics credentials, average Joe knows fuck all about physics, but since game developer X says the game has epic physics it must be true) and doesn't deserve your time. Let him live his sad existence whilst you go have some fun playing actual fun games.

Clance says:
(# 23) on 10/23/2008 19:35

The way he uses the word "dare' and "FABLE" (Caps!) makes me think of a guy swigging a wine glass full of milk... Don't worry about it, just do what you do.

Also, yes, welcome back. I think I may have mentioned you in my blog today. I'm such a fanboy! Sorry.

grassr00ts says:
(# 24) on 10/23/2008 19:43

wow, samit dropped an F bomb, I haven't ever seen that!

Clance says:
(# 25) on 10/23/2008 19:48

Samit's language droppped all day today. C*nt in a headline? terrible.

Must have had a hard day on some kind of sports game that is mirroring my experiences on my EA favourite (Fifa).

Palidi says:
(# 26) on 10/23/2008 19:55

Welkum to teh interwebz. Idiots confirm'd.

Acutally, I'm surprised that guy was 29 and still said the things you said he did. I thought you're suppose to get more mature with age...Oh, he was probably just trying to act "cool" to fit in with the "cooler" young crowd...
...
...
...either that or he just really wanted to talk to a girl...

Audiohol 4m33s says:
(# 27) on 10/23/2008 20:42

I gotta agree with Half left and CALkulon, why did you bother replying to him in the first place? He already dug his own grave, no need to jump in after him.

On the other hand, he insulted TF2, and that will NOT stand.

Shakey1245 says:
(# 28) on 10/23/2008 20:59

It was a noble effort of you to try and have a civilised discussion on the merits of both games but from the sounds of it you'd have been better off trying to teach dinner etiquette to a chimp.

coffeesash says:
(# 29) on 10/23/2008 21:03

Atheistium, you just have to ignore people like that because arguing with them at all just spurs them on. Some people are beyond help and below stupid. Talk to me instead, you've got lots of musics waiting for you :3

RonBurgandy2010 says:
(# 30) on 10/23/2008 21:17

I'm running on a tiny ass SD TV and I consider myself a gamer. When you can't be distracted by the pretty graphics, you can only focus on one thing: gameplay. If anything, real gamers are the ones who play on shitty sets, because they know what's fun not what pretty.

awkwardmongoose says:
(# 32) on 10/23/2008 21:39

His problem isn't how much he likes Crysis, everyone has their favourite game. He is just SUCH a douche for going that far to insult your tastes.

nintendoll says:
(# 33) on 10/23/2008 22:06

I would have ended the conversation with: Look, I have boobs and it makes me much cooler than you. The end.

nintendoll says:

Also, forward him the naked pic of Asian Joe.

Eschatos says:

This is why we need a machine that allows you to reach through your TV screen and out another person's.

Gameboi says:
(# 36) on 10/23/2008 22:23

It's mighty hard not to like a Fable game. Some people are just hard to please.

Sharpless says:
(# 37) on 10/23/2008 22:24

@Nintendoll
Correction: "I have breasts and a vagina that you'll never see nor touch. Goodbye." Much more effective.

The Incredible Edible Egg says:
(# 38) on 10/23/2008 23:18

Hey, why do I have to be the harbinger of doom?

Also, I sent him a message stating the folowing:
"Crysis blows, Viva Pinata FTW! That is all."

mr spooky says:
(# 39) on 10/23/2008 23:31

nope I don't own an xbox so this kind of stuff doesn't happen to me.

You should of punched him via the internet

WastelandTraveler says:
(# 41) on 10/24/2008 06:52

Crysis = No solid story, however, it is a fun game if you look to just throw bodies into buildings and blow shit up. But that's about it. Its a dick around game with sandbox value.

Hes just butthurt, ignore him, there is no reasoning with shits like this. If he considers TF2 over simplistic that's his jazz. He obviously was either butthurt in that game as well or doesn't under stand a thing about it. It may be simplistic control wise, but in terms of competitive teamplay its far from it. Its no more simplistic than any other mp game.

This guy sounds like a new age gamer fag anyways.. I say this because he is squeezing his balls to love crysis.. Every single person that I know that has been playing games since atari has had basically the same opinion as me.. which is that it can be a fun game, but its nothing spectacular in terms of gameplay. The physics and graphics are great.. but the game itself is alright. SS2 / Deadspace / HL2 has more substance. Crytek is a great engine developer but they lack heavily in making an over the top gaming experience.

But again this is all just my opinion as it is his, if he trys to say anything beyond that, hes definitely a butthurt elitist who needs a hug from mommy or needs to stop masturbating with hand soap and go out to a bar to try and get laid.

"If anything, real gamers are the ones who play on shitty sets, because they know what's fun not what pretty."

I don't know if this is true or not, but it sounds good enough to justify my shitty TV.

Also, that guy is a dickhole.

Crysis is a game? I thought it was an porn for PC gamer tossers.

God I hate hardcore PC gamers. I really do.

Dick slap him. seriously just do it. i have no other advise to give you, well other than, you just have to remember that there actually are people out there who will go around doing this, like picking fights, cos they get there jollies from it. twats.

WastelandTraveler says:
(# 46) on 10/24/2008 11:05

hey fuck you sykora! ima hard core pc gamer and I dont hold crysis up like some gift of god like this ass does! Now come and make love to me you silly man.
