Salty console peasant, your tears delight me so…
Smash bros? I think you guys should actually do some research for once…
They forgot the Sonic community. HAVE YOU MET A SONIC FAN.
Why does Watchmojo dislike Zelda?
Okay, I can agree with this list. I'm in the Kingdom Hearts community (I wasn't even aware we STILL had a community), but I agree the storyline is confusing. I'm not sure I agree that makes us "pretentious," but like I said, I haven't been around it. I just want to know where the FPS gamers are. I mean, CoD should have it's own place on the list, but FPS gamers are very much "you're not an expert, you're not a gamer." Also, FNAF should have DEFINITELY been on the real list. The 10 year olds that know everything about it, but have never played the game are bad enough, but the ones who have beaten it…sheesh. I like WatchMojo, but I do feel like this is just a huge list of biases (which it is, but WatchMojo seems to do a fairly good job of disconnecting from the biases on a regular basis, in my opinion).
I must be the only one who thought undertale was meh
Every Overwatch player thinks they are the best to ever walk the earth.
Sakurai said that the installments of Smash are different such that they be considered new games instead of mere sequels. That statement right there is the answer to the question of why dedicated Melee players are not embracing the new games. Its like telling a Tekken fan to "move on" when a new Street Fighter game comes out; they simply don't deliver the same material.
… Okay, given the current state of the Fire Emblem fanbase, I'm rather surprised that it's not on this list or in the honorable mentions. They can get pretty bad when you say that you like the story of Fates, or Fire Emblem Warriors… They get EXTREMELY bad if you even mention the latter. Though, I think they may have calmed down somewhat recently…
Gunz Private Servers.
Ya had me till PC gamers. The reason PC gamers like to be able to tweak the games settings as much as possible is because every rig is different. When you can't change something like shadow settings if can have an impact on performance.
Uh, guys. You need to keep up bc you labeled Dark Souls as 5, while calling it 6
Gta v
You forgot csgo
Pc master race are the vegans of the gaming world….
Oh, man. You are so right about the Zelda community. I love the series, but some of my fellow fans are painful to listen to. There are a few who feel that true fans don't name the hero anything other than "Link".
Where are the Sonic- Minecraft and WOW-gaming communities? Or some other's
You forgot to honorable mention the Metroid series … some of those guys are … special.
World of warcraft should be on the list. I was kicked from a low level dungeon for accidentally dying to a mob. Never did that dungeon, so I didn't know they were there.
And god forbid you join a raid and mention this is your first time doing that particular raid.
I don't get why smash is always on these lists, at least for these reasons. Huge communities exist for both smash 4 and melee. They're completely different games that when top players of either game plays the other, they got bodied. If anything, more top melee players play smash 4 on the side than vice versa. Almost none of the top 50 smash 4 players played melee during 2017, while plenty of melee players did (hungrybox, m2k, wizzrobe, chudat, pewpewu, the moon, etc). Melee players don't "move on" because it's not like any other fighting game series when they make sequels, despite them both being under the smash bros moniker. Go ahead, hate on the balance, but if it's only 3 characters as many say (at top level, fox falco marth sheik peach puff samus pikachu falcon ice climbers luigi yoshi ganon can all succeed) then why do so many people watch and play? Melee's aggressive, deep, complex, fast, combo oriented gameplay is what people come back for, and i'm sorry it may look like we ignore the other games, but we don't, many just don't like them as much. Which comes along with sakurai making brawl/smash 4 more floaty, and got rid of many advanced techniques that made melee so fast, deep, and hard.
I'm just going to point this out… The reason PC gamers harp on about in game options is because it allows for flexibility. Not everyone spent a couple grand on their computer. Not everyone likes the default controls. No one likes the default FOV. Not everyone has the same type and size of monitor, and games should support every type of monitor (looking at you, Overwatch).
Pokémon community with hacking
The Call of Duty Community.
And not for the reasons you might think, yes theres a lot of try-hards, quick scopers, swearing teenagers, and people using cheap tactics . . .
But the real reason the community sucks is because they don't know what they want! CoD was a slightly open boots on the ground high probability area encounter game that became a three lane structure extra twitchy OP aim assist advanced movement forced ranged encounter SMG-fest.
So they released WW2, a game mechanically close to the games and style they all demanded, then a portion of the community hate it, yet the other half loves it, and it wins PS4 game of the year, and is voted 6th best cod ever?
MAKE UP YOUR MINDS!
Why is Zelda so high compared to stuff like Kingdom Hearts and a few others, not saying it shouldnt be on the list, just that most of the Zelda community issues stays in the community, well besides somebody calling Link Zelda lol, and the Zelda community is rather civil when its comes to stuff… at least compared to other communities….Online communities, there we go, thats more accurate.
The real problem is the Majora's Masks fanboys. Great game. But Ocarina is undoubtedly better, like… objectively better in every way.
Melee has “balanced” gameplay
Someone did their research
PC GAMING could be perfect if it had more exclusive games…
In defense of KH fans, I always acknowledge the story to be overcomplicated, but its still worth it.
most elitests?!
In response to MOBAs: just play Heroes of the Storm where nobody really gives a shit if you're good or not.
No one noticed they had two number 5s?
Hahahahahahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahaha pc gamers lol
mobile "gamers" are the worst
i have met 0 people who really believe in the pc master race its just all fun and games and trolling
Where's minecraft?
I just recently saved my money and switch to pc gaming because of how much hate I got for playing on console
The Zelda community is way too high.
LoL players are the most toxic by far
