What Gamers Hate!

What quality is common in every hardcore gamer? Well, realistically speaking, there may be a lot of them, but the one we are looking for here is their common love of hating things. Complaining is considered to be a part of being a true gamer; it basically means that you know games and the industry well. And you can choose to complain about it if you want.

What Gamers Hate Most

Normally gamers like to complain about almost everything that has to do with gaming. But there are certain hate trends that are more popular among them and these trends are:

Ratings and Scores

You know how gaming review sites, magazines and shows review every game when it comes out and assign a rating or a score to them? Yeah, true gamers hate that. It is a belief among gamers that any big reviewer, whose scores matter, is probably doing the bidding of a developer.

DLCs

So there is more to the game that we paid full price for, interesting. And you will let us access the additional content for a price, what?!? DLCs are one of the most awaited and equally hated parts of video gaming. Gamers want to have access to new areas and gear, what they don’t like is the developers charging money for them.

Movies Based on Games

A note to Hollywood producers, don’t make a film about a game you know nothing about. Least you could do is take the time to learn a bit about the game or, God forbid, play the game for a bit before your turn into a profit. There have been some decent films based on games, but most of them are plain old terrible, no other word for it.

People who don’t get Real Games

For all the people who don’t play games and know nothing about them; don’t ask gamers to answer every question you have about a game, it annoys the hell out of them. And please don’t ask them to join you to play a game on your Wii, you may find a game controller or a mouse hurtling towards your face if you do; you have been warned.

These are just some of the things that are commonly hated by hardcore gamers. This list could be longer, but we have to stop here because this could go on forever, as we already mentioned; gamers love to complain.
