The cringiest things about gamers

The weird obsession some have that games should be movies.

I have seen people argue it makes sense simply cause games are a visual medium and when someone brought up that they were an interactive medium their brain broke and they couldnt understand.

Like by all means all games shouldn't be the same but it's super disheartening when I see someone say TLoU or Uncharted are the GoATs. I just cant understand it at all.
 
If you buy games new at full list price you are a sucker of the highest order.
Some games just have insulting prices.
The pc version of Octopath traveler was like 85 dollars on launch.
85 dollars for a port done 1 years later.
The disgusting thing was that it was obvious that it was expensive because they knew that people would buy that shit and because they bought the strongest drm available it took like 1 year to crack the game.
 
People that take video game waifus seriously. It's fine to like whatever character you want, but the level of obsession I've seen these people dive to.

God, I can't believe Square ruined my waifu Tifa by not giving her ginormous boobs in the remake. 0/10, games trash.

Bro, if you prefer Tifa over Aerith, you're straight up trash and nobody will take your opinion seriously because you're obviously just after he boobs and short skirt perv.

It's spelled Aeris, not Aerith you fucking degenerate loser. The devs clearly intended Aeris and my waifu will not stand to be renamed by a shitty translation error.

I hate GameFAQs/Reddit.
 
Speedrunning is retarded. Who gives a shit if you can be the fastest guy to finish some obscure Japanese-only PS1 game? AGDQ is depressing to watch. A bunch of pasty nerds staring dead-eyed at a game they've played 8 million times to shave another second off their time.

Pro-gaming in general is pathetic and i can't imagine spending any real amount of time watching someone else play a videogame.
 
Now, are we talking people bitching 30fps and 60fps are indistinguishable or that pc having better framerates doesnt mean it's better? Both are exceptional.
Console gamers fighting over framerates in general. Them thinking that framerates can win their little console wars is both sad and funny.

AGDQ is hilarious to watch because it's all troons now.
 
Watching incel gamers get super butthurt whenever a non-white/gay/trans character gets put in a game is pretty cringe.
I think that's more resisting woke forced diversity pandering. There are so many popular game with a non-white/gay/trans characters and even games where the hero is "you" that get no backlash. But then you get games like The Last of Us 2 and suddenly every game journo and Twitter blue checkmark is claiming those gamers™ hate minorities.

Unless you mean idiots like One Angry Gamer, then I agree with you.

buying digital copies of games when you could've either pirated it or bought a physical copy that's actually resellable, collectible, and can't be taken from you when you get permabanned from Steam next year for calling someone a fag.
Physical copies are slowly becoming little more than a code in a box with an installer. One of the Tony Hawks games had just the tutorial on disc, and it's not unusual these days to have to download large "patches" to play a game day 1.

It fills me with absolute contempt when plebs who are shitty at a game whine about "RNG" even though they're just shit at the game. People who won't git gud need to shut up.
On the other side of that same coin, I cringe when people unironically act as if difficultly is the only thing that matters in a game, as if any game isn't some masochistic trial and error bullshit is only fit for game journalists demanding participation trophies.
 
i hate espots and it has only gotten worse since the starcraft 2 days. now they making games with esport in mind instead of people creating their own metas and its really hurting games in general (looking at you overwatch).

pokemon fans in general buying the same game over and over again and being mad that the game is not as good as they thought when the writing was on the wall.
 
I just don't like seeing people waste money while having an inferior (less fun) experience. $300 console + $60 of games per month for 12 months = $1020. or you could get a $1k PC and pirate all the games and have far more fun, a far bigger selection of games, the ability to mod games, etc. I'm not shitting on you, just trying to help you not make the same mistake next time when the PS5/XboneX 2 Series Elite Edition Extreme is released. just get a PC instead. the only acceptable reason to get a console is for exclusives.
I'm not trying to... you know what fuck it.

Console fags are horrible, and so are genre faggots, but PC fags are the vegans and yuppies of video games. I'm not even kidding. I'm probably too old for this shit, and I probably fuckin' hate the current "nerd pop culture" advent with a seething white rage for all of its incessant posturing and hypocritical "no u" faggot finger pointing about "who's the real tool faggot consoomer", but PC dipshits are the kind of people who I like to see suffer the most in the world. They're the kind of faggots who got people hating Apple and car greasers for being the faggot insufferable materialistic faggots they are, and yes, the double faggot was intentional, much like in the way of double nigger. They boast and boast and boast on and on about this and that and what they have is sooo much better than others, and as soon as they come across someone who isn't in their league or points out how not everyone will meet their standards, all they'll do is say "lol get good/get rich faggot peasant". Like, do they not know there is a world outside of their petty autistic faggot hobby, and that there are people who don't have time for being a literal fucking nerd? I'm glad to have overheard the story of how two ruskii tweens fucking killed each other over differences between fucking video card manufacturers. Great fucking lifestyle choices.

Then we get to "what computers can do". Emulate, run high graphics specs, fucking wonderful. Can you get laid too, or is that a function now replaced by a fuckhole for how insufferable you are, PC fags? I ain't even calling out dildos because I still believe that no woman would legitimately run with PC fags, unless they were man to female trannies desperate for affection in their pathetic waking lives. Hell, I remember how pathetic PC fags were in the 1990s and PC Gamer mags in the 1990s had faggot material just the same. Shit like Foxy Boxing and strip sex card games were openly advertised, and PC fags were all asshurt angry even back then that "consoles are inferior" yet everyone wanted them because no one has time to deal with autistic DIY projects that have more faggot multiple step divergent sub assembly inconsistencies than a fuck device from IKEA. You want cringe? Try clueless faggot nerds who will collapse upon their worldview being shattered because they engage as much faggotry as console faggots over the most pettiest autistic shit I've seen. It's why I think reviewers like Ross and Civvie are facecious two faced shitheads who will likely one day get a thread out on the Lolcow board.

And honestly NIGGER ASS PEE POOPY RAPE, I'd suggest you'd drop the whole "i'm trying to help you because i'm a pc gamer" shit. Not only did C.S. Lewis warn me about zealots who do shit simply only because they see others as "inferior" and less than animals for their "own good", I live in the fucking USA, not fucking German Shit Eating Land or Wanker Bloody Fuck Isle of United Faggotry. I'm sure you're probably a better lot than most PC faggots, and that message wasn't directed at me, but seriously, I personally don't like smug asshole faggot machine married dicksuckers define and dictate fucking "gamer experiences". That's probably the most pathetic nerd shit up there with cracker ass peckerwood dipshit weeaboo faggotry from Anime News Network and Colony Drop trying to direct Japanese anime producers by yelling as loud as they can on the internet out of Shitland San Francisco California.
 
All the collectible plastic shit that surrounds gaming now. A couple funko or aimbos for your absolute favorites is alright but the people who devote so much time and energy to buying all the mass produced plastic shit is cringy. Whole walls and rooms devoted to it.


Also gaming as a identity. Espically video game themed weddings and such. Great to have common interest, not great when it's the entire foundation of your relationship.

Edit:

Countdowns to teasers (not even full on trailers) of games that are still in early development. 5 sec clip of a slow fade in of a logo and dumbasses go crazy for it like it's the second coming of Christ
 
"Muh PC Gamer Master Race"

The entirety of E-Sports

"Culture Warriors" of any stripe, be they ResetERA and Polygon on the Left or One Angry Gamer and Kotaku In Action on the Right

The overabundance of online multiplayer

Nintendo fans, the most soylent of gamers. Ironically, despite Nintendo loosening most of their strict censorship policies, Nintendo still attracts bearded widemouth bugmen and neon-haired punk sows who like Steven Universe unironically. I blame Nintendo's "kid-friendly" image they had in the 90's for this problem.

People who are still butthurt about Roger Ebert's comments in the early 2000's, and this is a sore spot on both sides of the debate. Roger Ebert has been dead for years, and the Supreme Court recognized video games as an artform worthy of First Amendment protection. The issue is settled and has been for a while now. It's all so tiresome

The ones who don't shave their beards. I don't care whether or not you're a neckbeard ranting on Kotaku in Action or a wide-mouthed soy boy worshiping at the altar of Saint Anita, SHAVE YOUR FUCKING BEARD!!!

But muh elder scrolls 6. I came several times just from seeing that logo, oh boy. If the logo looks that good, can you imagine how good the game will be?

Somebody fucking kill me.
 
MMORPG fans who bitch so hard about how much they hate the game they play yet still pay $15 dollars month on it. Or in the case of non sub games, spend tons of money at cash shops for P2W items. The best is when they constantly threaten to quit or unsub yet never go through with it. Or they unsub and come back a week later.

Fans who sperg about how awful their game series is. Self deprecation is a massive pet peeve of mine when it comes to gamers.
