I’m sorry I offended your beloved reviewer by claiming he doesn’t know what he’s talking about when he clearly doesn’t given the misinformation sprinkled all over his half assed review. Being entertained or not is subjective for sure, but mistakes about facts shouldn’t be accepted as opinion, and his opinion of the game’s flaws is flawed itself since its based on false facts. Such mistakes happen in IGN reviews also mind you.

Prove what you promise. If you can’t, I’ll say there’s a chance you’re wrong. After all, the comments section there does include comments where people’s opinion appears to be swayed by that review. Sure, they’re being naive, and that was my point, that there are naive people out there that can be swayed with misinformation. Of course, once again, that wasn’t my main point or why I said that in the first place. I merely made an observation following Chizzles’ comment etc, etc, read my last comment.

PS: I love how you tell me off for pretending I know what real gaming is about then you go on to give your own definitive view of what real gaming is about showing how you know better and implying I think it’s something else. My only point was that it was a narrow sighted review from an individual unable to appreciate and evaluate not only how succesfully it offers it, but what it attempts to offer in the first place, since he never goes deep enough to discover its breadth of gameplay beyond the basics. Not any definition for what gaming is. I love (good) FPS games myself anyway, among tons of other genres. On the other hand I never got into RTS games so I’d never pretend to know what I’m talking about and would never evaluate such a game, other than simply say I think the single game of the genre I enjoyed was great (Warhammer: Dark Omen if anyone cares).

Stopped reading right there. Whatever point you were trying to make is effectively null and void.

23

I’m sure you read it whole and can’t respond but sure, whatever works for you.

24

Back on topic!

I’m waiting for my Best Buy gift card to come in the mail (i got it for redeeming my credit card rewards) and this will be my mine

25

I’m sure you are the dumbest person.

26

Aw, did I just hit a nerve there? It’s okay, you’ll get over it soon enough.

27

Are you for real. What is this, 1997. Just to bring you up to snuff, Geocities is gone, and that WWWBoard “hit a nerve” retort got old over a decade ago. Freaking amateur.

It’s really simple: I’m not the one typing out a college thesis to rebut someone while prefacing it with dumb. That’s like preparing a nice big holiday feast, but starting off by taking your guests to the dining room table covered with cobwebs and dirty dishes. No one’s going to bother sampling your food.

Type out a response that doesn’t have dumb right from the get-go and we can resume the “debate” over some meaningless website and how gamers only want flashy FPS’s, or something.

28

… okay, I am just a newbie here and it’s probably not my place to jump into things like these but Al3xand3r, you kinda need to lose the holier-than-thou attitude. there are shitty reviews about awesome games. there will always be shitty reviews about awesome games. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. you don’t have to take it so personally, you’re not on some crusade to make sure every awesome game gets due recognition, because sometimes they don’t. the world isn’t fair, cry moar, etc.

a-and maybe I should get lost before I sound like more of a jerk-ass. carry on.

29

Aw, our boy thinks the “hit a nerve” retort is too old school and too amateur but “you’re the dumbest person” is totally original and professional (are you writing on message boards for a living making you a professional?), cute! If you want to resume the debate then respond to the comment you claim you didn’t read, even though you read it. I mean, I did respond to your random, dumb, pointless shit about thinking this subject isn’t important enough to mention on a gaming forum as a response to someone who also mentioned a review he found bad, a little sarcasm in the initial line shouldn’t stop you from showing the same courtesy. I should probably remind you that you started the debate by pretending this kind of conversation is beneath you with a shitty remark belittling those who discussed a given subject, like bad reviews. Don’t pretend I dragged you into anything just because I responded like the jerk you were being deserved.

Can’t lose what I don’t have.

Where did I disagree with any of this?

This “take it personally” thing is getting old. Again, forums aren’t only there for discussion of life threatening issues that one can do nothing but take them personally, they’re also there for discussion of useless random shit, like making a mere mention of a review you think is bad and getting attacked over taking it personally or whatever.

It’s so cute how you imitate human behavior!

This thread has turned into a p0n0s fest.

GJ guys.

Did you know that the most powerful response in human psychology is to blatantly ignore someone?

Which doesn’t work.

If someone is wrong about something, it’s better to simply prove them wrong.

Let’s at least try to get along like mature adults, so please drop the sniping everyone.

BRB.

I finally got the game yesterday! My brother and I played the first levels of both characters (You pick who you want to play with in the beginning). The game is gorgeous, especially in motion, and the controls are solid. It’s a little awkward at first because we’re playing with the remote + nunchuck setup, but it’s a blast to play. If you have a Wii, then pick this game up! If you live in the US, you can get it for $40 at Best Buy.

34

Have fun. Playing in the hard difficulty is a blast and really makes you learn the fighting mechanics which are actually rather technical for such a game.

35

True, but I want to get the hang of the game first, so I’m playing in Normal mode. The cool thing is that you can switch the difficulty anytime, so if things feel a bit too easy then I’ll change it. The game’s visuals still blow me away; I’m glad I got myself a component cable for the Wii!

You are actually misinterpreting what I’ve said.
I’m talking about bullshit like “Oh did I hit a nerve?” etc, not actual debating.
Or other various personal jabs.

Responding to a trolling results in a feedback loop of more trolling.

Get it? The only way to break the loop, is to not respond to it.

For example, if I disagree with Alex or TA I will be locked in a bullshit battle for all eternity.

For example, Alex and TA may respond to this, I am more likley to continue trolling them than if they just didn’t bother.

It’s like if someone calls a fat person a ‘fatty’ - if the fat person responds it is 100x more funny.

If people were grown ups about things then they could easily hold a civil discussion without it descending into insults.

I just don’t agree with ignoring someone until they go away. If there’s incitement to something, rules can be enforced, and if you disagree with them, well, prove them wrong.

All this tends to do is lead to division. In the end, holding a dialogue is healthy and no one is forcing anyone to participate. I find ignoring people into oblivion kind of childish, even though it is successfully employed to widespread effect.

Feel free to disagree. If you don’t like the guy, fair enough. Devisiveness just isn’t the best way to go in my mind.

I also consider insulting someone who’s insulted you perfectly legitimate as retaliation while ideally no one should be casting stones in the first place. It’s a cruel world and if people don’t learn how to stand up for themselves, the animals in it will walk all over them.

I have made my point anyway, so shall not derail the topic any further. The moral majority can define morality for us through consensus as always. :anjou_happy:
