Opinionated Idiots and rant
atheistium | 5:35 PM on 10.23.2008 57 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.

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.

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!

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.

Lolololololol.

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

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.

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.

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.

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! ;)

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 . . .

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
