All games are wastes of time.
However, I don't see how Spelunky is trial and error when the levels change run to run. Spelunky has no cheap deaths, it's all about approaching situations correctly.
He's become too soft with his platforming.

- Kotaku is an extremely shitty website that thrives on clickbait/linkbait. NeoGAF originally made the right call in censoring it. This site is poorer for reversing that. If you click on an article, they win and you lose by default. If you discuss their articles unironically, then you really lose. The only way to win is to ignore them.
Kickstarter is a scam.
Some great things have come out of Kickstarter but like what the poster said above me....Kickstarter is a scam.
The hatred for "FMV games" is ridiculous. It was a relatively short-lived phase of games that, like any other, had good and bad products come out of it. There were some great games that used FMV - Gabriel Knight 2, Tex Murphy series, Wing Commander 3-5, etc.
One could easily point at the 256-color era and say it was shit because there were a lot of bad games. Or you could say the era of 3D gaming is shit because there have been many bad games.
The term "FMV games" usually refers to games like Night Trap, that are nothing but FMV. The games you mentioned are standard games that use FMV in cutscenes instead of text or CG.
Indie games should be on mobile platforms only
that's a fucking irrational and completely ignorant thing to say
Irrational and ignorant?... No!...not at all. Is my opinion controversial?... probably, but isn't this the space for such things. (1) I support indie devs (2) My rationale is based on the fact that tech has evolved to a point where consoles/PC's should be the showcase platform for established devs. Mobile gaming is a thing and IMO the perfect platform for games that are TYPICALLY produced by indie devs. It's a personal thing, but I've never bought (or at least I can't remember doing so) an arcade indie game on psn or xbl...on my phones...HELL YEAH! I get this feeling of being cheated playing indie games on my consoles, but I love passing the time when I'm in a line, at the doctors office, or riding passenger playing indie titles on my phones or tablet.
Left 4 Dead is an awful franchise.

OH! Remembered another one:
7. I don't understand why people are getting mad at Ken Levine for Bioshock Infinite, he's been lying and hyping up his games since Bioshock 1; it's just that nobody noticed. I only bought Bioshock 1 because I thought it'd be a super open free roam FPS RPG (or "Oblivion under water" as he called it).
I find it very hard to enjoy games that are more than a decade old.
- I am of the impression that gears of war is the worst franchise of last generation

I don't judge you, but out of curiosity, why? Graphics? Gameplay? Something else?
A shame. You're missing out on some truly stunning games from the 90's and early 2000's. FFVI through to X, Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2, Chrono Trigger, Zelda: Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time, to name but a tiny few. Oh and my own personal favourite from when I were a kid, Sonic 3 and Knuckles.
The hate, from the core gaming community, towards Ouya was totally undeserved.

There are always great indie games and their existence make the video game world richer but some people seem the indie genre as a label for quality, that's not true, indie games are not better by nature in comparision to games published by EA or Activision just beacuse they are indie.
I say this beacause some people tend to overlook and overeact to game flaws according to their prejudices.
