Could someone explain to me when videogamers became reluctant to offer opinions on games they've never played?

Mass Effect 3 sucks.
And so does Final Fantasy XX.
Gotta say Gran Turismo 5 here, sure Cod Black Ops is bitterly disappointing but then I expected that, Treyarch made it and every game they have made so far has disappointed me. I could also bitch about how simple to play FFXIII was but frankly though FFVI - FFX (yeah you read that right X too) were feasts of gameplay, story and graphics (for their time) XII and XIII haven't actually been bad games, they're not as impressive in terms of storyline complexities and certainly don't offer the fan service of say IX but they're not bad games. They're well built with innovative level up systems what work for the player rather than against the player. They're also well written the storyline of either game was pretty solid. If the games were any other random ass RPG games and not under the Final Fantasy franchise then they'd be welcomed, celebrated games the fact that they might have a bad voice actor or two overlooked in favour for the better gameplay. Hell I've played games where I've had to mute the game because the voice acting was soo terrible and the music wasn't much better but by putting on some suitable music from my own collection I was sorted out.
As to why GT5 was such a disappointment? Well frankly I like racing games, driving games are fun, they're accessible, entertaining and enjoyable. I've grown up over the years since the late 90s with Gran Turismo setting the standard. 400+ cars, good sound tracks (well up until 3) beautiful graphics coupled with the technical details what could make a grown man cry. If they set the serious standards, Need for Speed and Burnout were setting the fun standards. Even today I love blasting through Burnout Paradise City finding something to blow 5 minutes or so on. I didn't think GT5 could live up to the hype around it, 5 years of promising and delays does that. After a while something gets so overhyped it won't matter how good it is, it'll disappoint because it didn't prove itself to be Jesus Christ come again. What I didn't expect was a lack lustre menu system, sub par sound track, below standard graphics on over 3/4 of the cars (it's 4/5ths standard cars, 1/5th premium) and generally speaking a lack of entertainment to be had with it. GT5 was one of the main reasons I want a ps3, that game and the killzone/uncharted/mgs games would swing me happily. Frankly having tried it out extensively at lunch breaks ect at work I'm just not interested in Gran Turismo 5 anymore. I was bored to death by the entire GT5 system without exception even the precision handling and tuning options something I could waste hours tinkering with didn't appeal because of the other let down's in the game.
I wasn't disappointed with any of the games I played this year. Hooray!
I was pretty disappointed in Fable 3.
Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at.Originally Posted by ShlupQuack
I don't really stray too far from RPG's though so I can't say much for other genres. Nonetheless, I enjoyed all of the games I played this year. I've even been pleasantly surprised by how good some of the games have been.
We bought some DLC and it "downloaded" instantly. Faster than a theme. It was on the disc already! Bull! Don't make us pay for stuff we already bought
Easy answer, Final Fantasy XIII.
The first time I paid full price for a game so soon after release, felt like the biggest waste of $100 ever. It was boring and dragged on, I had to force myself to see it to the end, and have never played it since.
"This the outro, I was gonna put it at the beginning
But this is what I say the moment after I'm winning
Thank you, Ultimate Victory"
The Ultimate Victory - Chamillionaire
-Final Fantasy XIII
-Halo: Reach
-Black Ops
Gaming in 2010 was disappointing in general for me, anyways. It's ok though, I just ordered Battlefield: Bad Company 2 to get the taste of CoD multiplayer outta my mouth for awhile. Though I am still content with playing Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3 should the cravings arise.
Right here. All hype no delivery. Everything they said about the game turned out to be false beyond belief.
Other than that...Starcraft II's plot was kinda a big letdown to me, FFXIII i heard was pretty bad, and in all honesty i thought Super Street Fighter IV was pretty bad. Alot of people adore it, but i don't see it at all.
Also ridiculous and unacceptable. But something about the game itself just doesn't do it for me, quite aside from reprehensible DLC decisions :oWe bought some DLC and it "downloaded" instantly. Faster than a theme. It was on the disc already! Bull
Theres actually plenty of games that already have DLC on the disc and charge you anyway if you want to unlock them. Its not that new...
And I am not happy about these either. I'm only bothering to discuss games in 2010, and only the ones that I have
Oh herp de derp de derpity doo.
The biggest disappointment of 2010 is so blindingly obvious and easy:
Elemental: War of Magic
I didn't mention it beforehand because it was so painful I erased it from my mind
