Yeah, take Mass Effect 2 for example. People were crying and declaring that the world was ending when it came out and it became apparent they had changed the RPG aspects somewhat.
Or, as the whiners put it, ''simplified'', ''dumbed down'', ''stolen the soul of'' and of course the old favourite, ''console-ized''.
I ended up liking Mass Effect 2 a whole lot better that the original, because it's superior in every way.
So yeah, I tend not to worry to much about whiners on forums shortly after a big release. What one person considers ''crap sellout consolized blah blah'' I may end up considering ''great, superior in every way and GOTY''.
I think there's no way you can empress upon me because I'm right and you really really super don't want me to be.
I loved Civ 3, and I liked Civ 4 much better (after I was able to fix the blackscreen bug). There was no question. Keep trying but unfortunately for you I remember the release of Civ 4 very well, so you can't pull the wool over this one. No history revision this time, sorry.
That opinion is split is a good sign. If the game was bad everyone would agree.
Subject.
If it was great, we would all be able to agree. Well maybe not ALL, but there surely wouldn't be the same number of posts with name-calling and arguments going on now.
There's 44,000 people playing Civ5 right this very minute
Most people don't think it's all THAT bad. There's 44,000 people playing Civ5 right this very minute, and there's what, a couple hundred complainers?
Seems the majority is quite enjoying themselves in the game.
I would be too, but I'm at work. Civ tonight.![]()
As mentioned above, it was the EXACT same thing when Civ 4 came out & people were still really attached to Civ III. Some people just dont like change & always bash anything new.
