[QUOTE="Doc_Klueless, post: 7901090, member: 261"] For me, I dislike FATE because I don't care for how it's [I]supposed[/I] to be play. The way it was played when I played it and the way it's played in Actual Play Podcasts is something I dislike. (Aspects, The Compels - Fate Points Relationship). I feel Aspects are too wishy-washy. I feel that Compels are Punishments to Power Up so I can do something Cool. However, I've seen others play it and have a blast. So, even though I've played it "right," I still don't like it. Not because I don't understand it, but the feeling I got from playing it. Oh, gosh. Plus [I]every time[/I] I see FATE brought up in one of these threads it goes something like this: A: Let's do a thread about games you hate! Yay! B: I hate FATE because of XYZ. C: You're doing it wrong. You're just so wrong to hate this game! B: Nope, still hate it. You're wrong for liking it and here's why. C: Ugh. No, you just don't understand the game! You should love it and here's why! B: Nuh-uh, and here's why. --- Rinse, Lather, Repeat. B & C are never going to see eye-to-eye, but both will never stop trying to sway the other. But both have a great time derailing and monopolizing these sorts of threads until someone gets banned and the thread gets locked. [/QUOTE]
