That is a long post that doesn't say a lot.

Mike Capps made the statement, not Cliff B.

“It’s really humbling to see such great review scores coming in so far, and we’re glad that reviewers have been excited about the many changes we’ve made in the sequel,” he told CVG.

When something positive is humbling, it means that it's far and above what you were expecting. This is not hard to draw from context.

Tell me how you got that from the title. Because that is what I've been talking about this whole time. Does someone need to slap you with a trout?

 

 

I would suggest, next time, that you simply read the OP.

I would suggest, next time, that you and jasoncc realize that we are talking about the title. Within the context the title implies bad reviews because of natural tendancy to take that phrase as negative. It is a linguistic thing. I know that words have different meanings but sometimes there is such a predominant meaning that supercedes the other psychologically.

In takes context in order to derive this secondary meaning sometimes, and that is why when I came in I said to myself "huh, it got good reviews after all".

The phrase was said twice. Once in the OP with one context, and once in the body of the OP within another context. If you cannot understand the concept of context then there is nothing I can do for you. You are so focused right now on proving that 'humbled' can mean 'thankful' that you aren't even reading what I'm trying to say, and you are automatically assuming that I'm trying to tell you wrong.

Unfortunately, this will be the fifth time I say this. "I was talking about the TITLE" I know it may sound confusing given such big words as 'talking' and 'TITLE'. (which in this case means the heading, and not the 'championship')

 

I apologize if I jumped the gun with the "trolling" comment.  The only reason I commented here was because to me it sounded like a bunch of arguing over something completely stupid.  It wasn't really directed at you specifically but I'm still sorry if you took it that way.  I agree that the title could be seen as misleading but with the way most OP's write titles here (misleading, fanboy spin, poor grammer, whatever) I tend to just ignore them for the most part and concentrate on what's in the actual article.

I think I'll just leave it at that because I think the thread in general has gone way off track of what was originally intended and probably gone on a little too long lol.
