25 Reasons Gamers and Non-Gamers Don't Get Along

August 10, 2008 in Top List comments 16

GameWithABrain counts down the twenty-five biggest reasons why the gamers in this world can't get along with those who don't play video games at all, from explaining that Halo is not an official sport, the gaming controllers in itself, and that the fact that some gaming systems are just too expensive.

20. I don’t want to join a clan.
21. I like licensed games.
22. Game stories bore me.
23. I will not read a book or watch a film based on a video game.
24. I have no idea what a PokeMAN is.
25. I enjoy Bejeweled.

    Good list, just one problem:

    I'm a gamer and I'm man enough to admit that Bejeweled is a GOOD GAME!

    He kind of contradicted himself. He said game stories bore him and claimed the FFVII was the best FF because it was like playing a movie.

    I can respect most of what he said except for his enjoyment of licensed games-they just suck and ruin the industry with lazy shovelware garbage. There are plenty of good games that he could enjoy with his kids, like Mario Kart.

    The controllers aren't complicated. People who say that are dumb and lazy, and lack any cognitive skill.

    I would also like to add that Zelda needs to be hard edged in the story department. How many times am I gonna have to go into a lame ass a dungeon defeat a lame ass boss, to save the same lame ass princess for the 502nd time?! seriously.

        I just want a damn story. I'm tired of playing the same thing over and over and over again,without any better reason to progress throughthe game. I don't care what gameplay gimmick Myamato introduces. And even IF theres no Story at least introduce new gameplay elements like Fables.


        Fables>>>Zelda.

          It does have a story, they all do. The stories just sub-par for the action RPG compared to others in the same genre.

          New gameplay elements are introduced every game, they're the things you just called gimmicks and dismissed.

    Some non-gamers say that smash bros sucks and I really desagree.

    My biggest issue with non-gamers is that some of them immediately look down on you for playing video games. But I'm sure that which Final Fantasy was the bestest runs a close second.
