[QUOTE="Emberashh, post: 9318937, member: 7040941"] I've played both. And fyi, it is very poor form to root your counter arguments in accusing others of lacking knowledge. You can just point out what you think is an inconsistency and we can hash it out. The phrase yes, the idea no. You shouldn't be trying to act like that isn't what you were saying: I have not met a single person who plays COC, even for the very first time, and approaches it like they're trying to rack up a high score, and nothing about any of the editions I've read indicates that is how its supposed to play. As a matter of fact, speaking anecdotally, I haven't ever played either of the two editions of COC I've sat for and not had it take multiple sessions before we even get to investigating anything at all. Well, thats why it gets a bit tricky. You may not think you did, but thats not how it reads, especially when you're boiling down the games entire experience to an inaccurate snippet, and positioning it next to something you are claiming provides for a more emotionally and intellectually significant experience, as you've stated near verbatim in previous posts.
