I for one welcome our new robot overlords. 

I really hope they remove archers from the game because I really dislike f k n archers! They don't belong in vanilla version at all!
So if I understand you, you don't dislike GDR because they are unrealistic, or because they are too futuristic or because they're not good tactically. You just don't like them because you don't like them. That's some really good reasoning, but you might want to be a little bit more rational if you want to convince people. If you don't want to try to bring people to your point of view, then fair enough, but them I see little reason in posting about it several times.

I hope they also include Leonardo's Workshop so I can REALISTICALLY upgrade all my units in an INSTANT after I build it.
Im not annoyed about the realism, im annoyed about those GIANT f k n DEATH ROBOTS wich IMO, doesnt belong in vanilla version at all!

So i should give you guys the correct reason why i dont like GDRs and then you deside if the reason is good enough for you or not? If the reason that i give you is somehow wrong or just not good enough for you then i must like GDRs?
There are a lot of problems with this "Giant Death Robot" so-called, or as I call it "Death of the Civilization Genre Robot."
Firstly, Robots aren't real. I play this game to have fun, not to - no, wait. I play this game to overindulge my OCD in a fictional universe, not to have fun. Having robots will destroy my preconceived notions of what I think the Civ universe should be.
Secondly, when I was a kid there weren't any graphics. Everything ran on wood-power. Nuclear-powered robots? Hah! This is ridiculous fanboi nonsense. Nuclear power is fiction.
Thirdly, when I play Civ I expect HISTORICAL REALISM. The Civ series has historically been realistic, such as the Cure for Cancer wonder, or the extremely feasible Alpha Centauri victory condition. I don't want this robot ruining my realism.
Those are my points. I hope 2K changes the game now or I will complain some more.

I'm assuming you didn't read the entire thread, and didn't realize GDRs are more realistic then a lot of parts of Civ, like the space race victory.
Besides, Civ is a GAME. Not a simulation. If you want perfect historical realism, then make your own game, because there are none yet. Or, it's not on Earth but it's detailed, play Dwarf Fortress.

No, you should ask yourself why you don't want GDRs in the game. By being open minded and trying to work out why you hate them so much, you might realise that you actually dont. At first, I was disappointed that such a unit came up, but then I realised that this might give a more climatic end to a civ game, rather than it just tailing off with me getting bored as I enter the end of the industrial era. The idea of having a centre pin around which post-modern war unfolds is quite an attractive proposition to me. Sure, the tongue-in-cheek nature of the civilopedia description isn't my favourite sense of humour, but I still get a mild chuckle from it.
Saying that you don't like them because you don't want to use them isn't an explanation, its merely tautology. If you want to have a discussion about the pros and cons of them, then please tell us why you don't want to go to war with GDRs?
If you don't want to have a discussion, then that's perfectly fair, you are more than entitled to just state your opinion, but repeating it several times without expanding on it is not merely pointless, it can derail a thread who's purpose (like any forum in general) is discussion.
EDIT: My comment about archers was just a was just a way of showing that an opinion unaccompanied by any explanation of how that opinion was formed is a waste of just about everyone else's time.
Your like asking somebody why he doesnt like chocolate and he answers that he doesnt like the taste of it then you say "Saying that you don't like chocolate because you don't like the taste of it isn't an explanation, its merely tautology."
