1. You're just nostalgia blind. (Ocarina of Time, Deus Ex, Banjo-Kazooie)
Just because a game from the PAST isn't graphically advanced and/or doesn't meet up with today's standards of gaming doesn't mean you can't enjoy the game anymore. People are allowed to like an old game, they can say that an old game is the best game because that is there opinion. Not everyone cares about 'graphics' either (which is the most common reason people bring up to back up this argument). In fact, it's impossible to be nostalgia blind. Nostalgia is only a small factor of your impact on something, there are other reasons someone will like and enjoy an older game other than nostalgia blindness which once more doesn't exist.

2. You're just a fanboy. (Metal Gear Solid, Nintendo, Counter-Strike)
This argument most of the time is started because someone doesn't like a certain game in their favorite franchise and so they'll call you a fanboy if you happen to like it. In reality though, they are the only 'fanboys'. However, this argument is also brought up when you like a certain publisher/console (console wars are also dumb, but that's a different subject) especially Nintendo because you literally can't like more than one Nintendo game without being called a fanboy or 'Nintendrone'. Sometimes you can't even like one Nintendo game ('superior Nintendo haters' are also another problem, but again that's another subject). This can be applied to any console or publisher, whether it be Xbox, Ubisoft, Konami, Sega, etc. This entire thing is just stupid and we need to stop it. It's not even a bad thing to be a fanboy so stop demonizing it.

3. I don't like it so it can't be cannon. (Metroid, Mega Man, Metal Gear Rising, Dragon Ball, Fire Emblem, Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto, etc.)
This is an argument that people use for literally EVERYTHING EVER. It's also probably one of the most annoying ones too. I do my best to avoid coming across these but it's nearly impossible. This argument has been and is still everywhere and it's no where near stopping any time soon. More people than you think have used this argument and some without even knowing it. People who've used this argument sadly don't normally realize how biased it is. I can't stress enough how common this is. It literally hurts.

4. Companies don't need any money. (ROBLOX, Konami, Valve)
You've probably seen this argument used against ROBLOX itself numerous times on the forums, in the comments, in game, even off of ROBLOX. You've also probably seen it used against Valve, Konami, Microsoft and tons of other gaming companies before. If you like or enjoy what a company puts out and they ask or give you an option of payment in real money don't complain about it. Why? First of all, it's optional and second companies DO need money. A company could have $50M and STILL need money. While I'm at it, sense this is on ROBLOX you are thinking way too much of ROBLOX to think they don't need any money at all from you. At the most, they ask for $5 and it's optional. That's not too bad and again, it's optional.

Rant completed.

2/10 b8 r u even tryin

so what gr8 troll who can't even b8 on their main acc are you, op

anyway, since I'm bored

"Nostalgia blindness doesn't exist"

hahahaha

no

"It's not even a bad thing to be a fanboy so stop demonizing it."

being a fan of something isn't, no

you seem to be confusing "fan" with "fanboy" though

One's someone who likes a company or its products

the other one is unhealthily devoted to a company/brand/console/franchise and refuses to acknowledge any criticism to his beloved company/brand/franchise/console and goes off in a massive conflagration of indignation, nostalgia, fanboy rage and delusions if someone professes to not liking it

"3. I don't like it so it can't be cannon"

ever heard of the terms "fanon" or "headcanon"?

also, it's "canon"

"If you like or enjoy what a company puts out and they ask or give you an option of payment in real money don't complain about it. Why? First of all, it's optional and second companies DO need money."

people generally don't give two ****s about free-to-play games being riddled with microtransactions
it's games that you already paid for that let you pay money for in-game items to boost performance that get criticized

"At the most, [ROBLOX] ask for $5. At the most, they ask for $5 and it's optional. That's not too bad and again, it's optional."

>what is OBC (20$ a month)

also, it's not like the game's been sliding more and more into p2w over the years or anything

price floors aren't entirely there to incentivize NBC players into getting BC to have any chance of getting a wardrobe of decent outfits in this decade

neither are BC-only places

or overpriced hats, and body packages, and gear, and so on

nostalgia blindness is a thing. It's like people hate a reboot of a game like Battlefront. They hate it because it doesn't have a few minor features that Battlefront 2 did, but that game is like 10 years old, so who cares. And some people just hate it because it isn't Battlefront 2. It's annoying.

"They hate it because it doesn't have a few minor features that Battlefront 2 did, but that game is like 10 years old, so who cares."
"a few minor features"

so a campaign, space battles, pilotable AT-AT's, etc are apparently minor features

as for who, well, people who liked BF/BF2

"And some people just hate it because it isn't Battlefront 2. It's annoying."

I mean, it's not the game using the Battlefront title instead of being a new IP is a cash grab aimed at nostalgic fans or anything

Nostalgia blinded one is debatable. for instance, someone hating on a remake for "destorying the charm" but never really explaining. thats where nostalgia becomes an issue


fanboys one is hard to explain cause in some respects, everyone is a fanboy. It just depends on what kind of fanboy you are. Plus people who use fanboy as an insult are usally fanboys themselves... or trolls


I agree with 3. nothing much needs to be said about it


4. I semi agree. Companies u listed do need money. it is a business... but someomes they are a tad greedy

'nostalgia blind doesnt exist'

obvious bait

have you not seen roblox?

people complain 24/7 'OLD ROBLOX IS BETTER YOU NOOB' because they are still stuck in the past not realizing NEW ROBLOX IS 10X BETTER

nostalgia blindness exists, the fact that you say it doesnt just proves this is all bait

I'm probably nostalgia blind with Pokemon Crystal. I love it, the color scheme, the music, graphics, gameplay, story, and just the atmosphere. However, if I hadn't played it as a kid growing up in the early 2000s I probably wouldn't have the same feelings towards it.

"1. You're just nostalgia blind"

This is actually very valid, as a kid you have completely different standards and tastes to what you'd have as a teen/adult. You'd remember liking something but not remember why, and any enjoyment you'd receive would be from remembering the joy you had playing through it as a child.

That is unless you still like the game, which would be pretty rare.

Nostalgia blindness does exist.


"2. You're just a fanboy. "
"It's not even a bad thing to be a fanboy so stop demonizing it."

Oh yeah, it's not a bad thing to believe everything a company has made and ever will make will be great.

Just kidding! It totally is, it's stupid to think any company is faultless, even my favourite video game developers has flaws and I can accept and acknowledge that.

Fanboyism is often due to somebody not wanting to feel like they've wasted money on a product, so they'll defend it to the ends of the earth to make their purchase seem valid.

"3. I don't like it so it can't be cannon"
First of all it's canon.

Secondly nobody actually argues that because they dislike it it's no longer part of a certain franchise. People argue things aren't canon because they share very little with previous iterations of the series.

This is a dumb thing of you to say, it seriously makes you look stupid. No a fence

"4. Companies don't need any money."
Yet again, another sentence I've never read anywhere. People often argue games aren't worth the asking price, or that certain dlc is something that should be included in an update rather than being paid for.

Nobody denies companies money to keep going, people just dislike many ways companies like to make money these days (and rightfully so with the scummy tactics they employ)

well in fact there are space battles, they're just not in space, rather in the sky very close to space. You can use an AT-AT, just not drive it. And tbh I don't remember battlefront 2 having it's campaign as a selling feature

sure, you can enjoy old games, but generally newer games are better than the old ones

heres proof

look at my first username

add 11 to 233

search up the username

then watch as you have been a huge dolt :)


anyway, thats just a point im making

nostalgia blind exists in every game

no need to start getting butthurt just because old roblox was mentioned

in fact most of your 'old roblox' trash is all useless stupidity
remember that 'GREEN CIRCLE' you had? stop crying like a pathetic baby, ITS NOT NEEDED

remember that 'old cursor' you had? STOP CRYING, ITS USELESS.

"people complain 24/7 'OLD ROBLOX IS BETTER YOU NOOB' because they are still stuck in the past not realizing NEW ROBLOX IS 10X BETTER"

not really

the games have gotten better, as have some mechanics

but it's not 10x better in every way

not even close

"then watch as you have been a huge dolt"

because 2012 is totally so much older than 2013, amirite

"no need to start getting butthurt just because old roblox was mentioned"

this coming from the guy getting this pissy:

"in fact most of your 'old roblox' trash is all useless stupidity

remember that 'GREEN CIRCLE' you had? stop crying like a pathetic baby, ITS NOT NEEDED

remember that 'old cursor' you had? STOP CRYING, ITS USELESS."

'not really'

most of the stuff back then hasnt changed

animations look better and most games already are fixed to use them

green circle is useless really the only thing i saw with it was aiming it at the edge of the map then clicking to walk to my death

cursor is still complained honestly i dont even know why

the old ff is just a small detail that doesnt affect anything so i still dont see why people complain about this

i can bet the community was trash then and trash now

the new sidebar and crap is an improvement at least unlike that squished one on the top

the '200 friends limit' is still complained about for no reason
its not like you actually will know more then 10 of them

also most of the games were just tycoons and obbies probably so i doubt games were actually more amazing then now

studio layout looks cleaner then before. at least it has labels on what it does

i will agree tho some stuff sucks
the items roblox make are boring
the events suck
truss jumping was kool even tho it was a bug :((
the profile layout is kind of ugly
