People who, when they find out I like something say a popular game, start to insult it and complain about it to me. I still haven't figured out their reasoning. Are you... are you trying to make me agree even tho I already said I love the series? Are... are you just trying to be an ass?
It's even better when people say BUT THERE IS SO MUCH WRONG WITH IT! Newsflash: I can still like something despite its faults. I can still like something and accept it has faults. I am not the type of person who says THIS GAME IS PERFECT. It isn't. No game is perfect but I can still love it regardless. Just like we can like a person even tho they tend to do something we dislike. You see?
I've dealt with this on multiple forums and on tumblr. And then people make assumptions based on what I tend to like. It's kinda amusing. And annoying.
I also am getting really annoyed with the whole LET'S CROSSOVER SHERLOCK WITH EVERYTHING!
I've been there. I've had forumites (on other forums, of course) literally beg me not to play a game if it wasn't up to their standards. Dude, if the new Thief isn't up to
your standards, I don't really care. My standards are the only ones that matter to me, when it comes to things like that. I love Hotline Miami because its bloody, fast-paced, tense, nerve-racking, and abso-fucking-lutely fun. I'm not doing it because I'm some pretentious dickbag who only plays indie games, I play plenty of AAA titles. In fact, I play a wide variety of games in general...pretty much anything outside sports games (aside from extreme sports, which are fine at times) is free game, to me.
I play what I want, listen to what I want, and watch what I want, and if you don't like that...well, too bad.
