For one thing--I don't especially have any *negative* views on 4E. In my post earlier, I was simply rephrasing what others--who have said 4E is too *video-gamey* for them.Now, I personally don't care about some 1,000 other video games. That's where you are being obtuse. It seems fairly OBVIOUS when someone says, "Heh. 4E's a bit too video-gamey to me." Most reasonable people understand quite well what they mean. The person is referring to the similar mechanics and *feel* of WOW and other similar MMO/video games that employ an obvious mechanic format and structure that is easily recognizable in 4E.It's not even necessarily an INSULT to fans of video games. So, you can set the cross down. I PLAY WOW. I have over TWENTY characters on three or four different servers. I can see some of the similar mechanics and style that 4E has adopted--and of which WOW and many other video games have as standard features.Just about everyone I know easily understands what people mean when they say "It's too video-gamey for me*.But really--like Umbran said. It's not a big deal man. You don't need to write a huge thesis about it. It's like having a preference--or not--for the flavour of Oranges. Most people seem to understand what people are referring to about 4E being too video-gamey. You, apparently, can't.Fine. It's a mystery to you then. I've explained it several times now--and other people I know--both critics and FANS of 4E alike--don't have such a problem understanding what is meant by the description.I've explained to you the similarities *I* see between 4E and video games, and I explained what I think others have tried to explain about it as well.*shrugs* I don't know what else to or how else to explain something that seems to me quite simple to understand.Sorry, Twinbahamut. Maybe someone else will be better able to explain it to you then.Take care.Semper Fidelis,SHARK</blockquote>
