[QUOTE="BryonD, post: 5024804, member: 957"] ... That seemed to have any connection to most *GAMERS'* experience with them. The basic presumptions of gamers going in to a game could make a world of difference. The bottom line is, they did not enjoy it and that was broadcast to an audience that is likely far more representative of THEM than they are of US. I certainly don't think that a good defense of the opinion was given. But, it remains a subjective opinion. I'm not putting them up for awards or anything. But they looked "fine". They looked like they were saying they didn't like it from their point of view. The replies were a bunch of pathetic screaming. If more replies had been reasoned and calm (and I haven't gone back to look since the one time) then the reviewers could have been made to look ill-informed and the games could have gotten some good publicity out of a bad review. But the stereotype come to life in the responses just reinforces the idea of "OF COURSE the reviewers did not like it. The reviewers are NORMAL people. How can anyone expect a game that appeals to freaks like those screamers to also appeal to normal people like us"? [/QUOTE]
