[QUOTE="KJSEvans, post: 5990111, member: 89882"] I'm not really interested in persuading anyone that HM is the "best" - that would be silly. Lots of folks have their favorites for the simple reason that they like them the best. It'd be hard to refute that. However, in responding to someone who says a game is "garbage," or to someone who makes assumptions about a game, I can only point out that there are likely folks reading this thread who have never read - or perhaps even heard of - the game. As this is a forum in which information is shared, it only makes sense that any opinion made or gained is an informed one. Therefore, not addressing incorrect assumptions or criticisms about a game may be seen by some as a tantamount acknowledgment that said criticisms are fair. From time to time I've heard of folks who simply refuse to consider that the current version of HM is deadly serious - but I'd never encountered any before. I wouldn't consider this reputation to be a "problem," however. If that is your opinion of the game, you are already rightly in the minority. Many folks may have extremely valid reasons for not loving HM as much as enthusiasts such as myself - but I feel that all such reasons basically boil down to experience playing the game and, most importantly, personal preference. Please don't confuse my "defense" of the game as an attempt to change your mind; rather I am just here to provide information! :) [/QUOTE]
