Most Common Signs Gamers Approve of a Video Game

Just for fun.

• Obligatory "YES! YES!" clip from Street Fighter's M. Bison
• "I keep throwing money at the screen, but nothing happens!"
• On TV Tropes: "And The Fandom Rejoiced"

Fry "Shut Up And Take My Money!"

Spongebob takes money out from wallet

crying wallet

There's a powerthirst parody made of it (This usually applies to multiplayer games)

It gets its own section of memebase

When it has multiple pages of main tropes, and all the subpages

Specific examples.

• They play it for days and even weeks. If they really approve of the game, months.
• If multiplayer, you will always without fail find fellow gamers to play with, even if the game doesn't have good match-making.
• They go out of the way to promote the game for their friends.

Maybe I should have been more specific:

Most Common Signs Gamers Approve of a Video Game Before Release

My statements (Except the powerthirst one) still stand.

• The gamers plays the demo (If there's any) for weeks and sometimes months

It counts. It's before release.

They start parading around on the websites they know about how the company that makes that game cares about it's fans and is doing it for the art, unlike geedy {insert random big-name game company here].

heh I was going to say that

"Why is it still today and not [insert release date here]!?"

• A post of "Doki doki doki" repeated
• A pic of a character in a cheering pose
• They talk about how it's going to blow away some other game
• A pic with some variant of "X approves"

Multitudes of forum posters demanding features. This shows that what you have is almost their dream come true apart from the specific niggles they point out.

unironic GOTYAY posts

They don't discuss it on the internet. Internet fans are a game's most hate-filled enemies, sworn to bloody vengeance for the game's atrocities against them.

Or at least anywhere online aside from here. The mods keep the psychotic bitching to a minimum.

Apologies, didn't see the amended "before release". In which case they may actually discuss it, maybe, a little, without shrieking about how great of a war crime it is.

There's already porn of it.

"Psychotic bitching to a minimum"

As long as the Dm C thread is still up I can't agree with this. That thing is one big hate thread.

And to add to the topic, people make vlogs about how awesome it'll be.

Cries of "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!"

hate that meme so much.

Videos that "Dissect" the trailer. Large game "journalists" like IGN dissecting trailers when they're well aware of whether or not certain features are in the game.

I do as well. And any derivative of it. It's not witty, funny, or amuisng in any way.

When someone makes a picture of Cereal Guy spitting in shock at it.

(I have a feeling this thread will involve a lot of memes.)
