What does no one seem to understand about a game you love?

No matter what games you love, you'll always read or hear opinions on them that you disagree with. Well, let's complain about those people.

The PC Gamer staff share their answers to the question: What does no one seem to understand about a game you love?

I love Castlevania Lecarde Chronicles 2, a free fanmade (Konami approved) masterpiece but many dont give it the recognition it deserves. Go try it!!!!

Because when certain games become popular people will still complain

People don't understand that playing borderlands 2 on my psvita is like popping bubble wrap. Such sweet sweet Lewt..... At 2.5 frames per second. So delicious

More of an overarching one, but I find some gamers don't seem to understand that it's entirely possible to be a fan of two genres/games that are almost complete opposites from each other.
"Oh, you play Call of Duty? You must not like kid-friendly platformers!"
"Oh, you play walking simulators? You must not like fast-paced action games!"
"Oh, you like casual party games? You must not like complex RPGs!"
Etc.

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
