Diff, your thread was essentially based entirely on your opinion. You seem like a fairly intelligent person, so I would assume that you know that a discussion with that kind of lead-in would begin and end with that. Your opinion. It begins and ends with that because simply, if anyone asserts thier own opinion, you state your opinion again to counter. Its not even a discussion. I suppose it would be valid as a conversation, but an entirely uninteresting one. The only reasoning I can see behind it is that you find pleasure in poking a hornets nest, and that just seems kind of sad.
That said, I suppose I should take the bait myself...
In short, you saying others are wrong, is wrong. You saying that games are better, is wrong. To a certain extent anyway. Games in general are different and thats really about it. Unless you'd like to share with the rest of the class your wonderful new formula that quantifies a games quality. I assume you will, and it will be something to the effect of:
(if game == I like)
{
then game == better;
};
Am I right?
I could go off on any number of tangents to counter every statement you make in your original post. Those counters Im guessing, will be countered with the same finesse you used to create the original post. Which begins the cycle anew. I guess what Im trying to say is, it's odd how you find these new games so interesting, but the game you seem to be playing the most is on a message board.
