I think about a year's worth of vituperative attacks on anyone who dares question this game-as-holy-grail may just about do it, and makes this point moot, dont you think?

>>If you can't accept this, any communication with you is relly senseless and i'll refrain from continuing it.

Cheerio<<

Why do people try and sound 'English' when trying to sound disdainful?

'Cheerio'...really?

Ya feel me, bro? (see what I mean? Fairly awkward at the best of times...)

Perhaps you dserve an honorary label os one of the stirrer's-in-chief. Sorry, defenders of the faith.

Ppl read what they want to read, obviously.
Nobody ever denied the faults of CloD, Robtek is spot on here.
Repeating them ad nauseum, however, won't make them a) go away, b) improve moods and game expirience, c) give us a/the patch any faster.

These points have been made to death and it speaks volumes about the actual whiners that they have to be repeated yet again. It's like a constant "Are we there yet? I need to pee! He put chewing gum in my hair!". Fast forward another year, it still is "Are we there yet? I need to pee! He put chewing gum in my hair!"

Your argument is not improved by dissing other's writing style.

Simple. It is because us English are the championship title holders of disdain. If you want to appear disdainful you turn to the masters.

Not always. Sure, some people can be selective.

>>Nobody ever denied the faults of CloD, Robtek is spot on here.<<

Yes they have, in extremis. Including the devs themselves for a long time, by side-stepping the obvious. Only when the outcry reached sufficient size did they do a u-turn. denying the faults can take many forms, from ignoring what you dont want to hear, to attacking posters who make valid critcism. It happens a lot.

>>Repeating them ad nauseum, however, won't make them a) go away, b) improve moods and game expirience, c) give us a/the patch any faster.<<

The 'mood' is determined by many things. Lack of straight-talking and fawning doesn't help. The repetition is boundless on both sides.

>>These points have been made to death and it speaks volumes about the actual whiners that they have to be repeated yet again. <<

So, then, your post, is what exactly? Whining about whining about whining about whining...ad nauseam.

>>Your argument is not improved by dissing other's writing style. <<

I'm not making a fancier point. The wiriting style, as elsewhere in life, betrays the post and the poster. It tends to make a rather nasty stain.

An 'argument' is not the aim. The aim is to point-out the nastiness-masquerading-as-moral-high-ground-patience-of-a-saint rhetoric of some fairly nasty and dowdy posters. Add that to a fawning acceptance of the situation - and worse, a tacit approval of the sequel - and you have unreality gone mad.

What's more, such nasty posters tend to go for posters who are not as adept with the language (perhaps English isn't their first language). I can't stand them, any of them.

*That* sets the mood. About time they had some of 'dem apples' back.

Well, how do you reply to a lot of hot air and a distinct lack of substance?
Right, you don't. Have a good week end

I dont know, but I have feeling I'm going to have to get some practise in.

You didn't set up those skittles very well....

And what's the weekend got to do with it?
