| ameratsu said: I agree with Khuutra, only sometimes. I hate cross-platform, cross-game graphical comparisons because they serve no purpose. If you think there's a legitimate reason to compare Killzone 2 to the Crysis 2 demo, please die in a fire. But there is good discussion here, and some of the crap that happens on game forums happens on any forum (squabbling, people talking about something they know nothing about, stupid topics getting a lot of attention, company favoritism/loyalty). Have to take the good with the bad, i suppose. |
Well, some people do want a definitive answer on the best graphics in any game, so I'm all for comparing the top games. Comparing Crysis and KZ seems like a pretty natural fit. You have the best looking PC franchise vs. the best looking console franchise. Though, comparing a demo is silly, and comparing anything but the very top is strange to me too. Personally, I don't care, but it's pretty close-minded to say "it serves no purpose" and they should "please die in a fire" for wanting comparisons.
Comparing multi-plat is good though since many people (like myself) have multiple consoles, and if I'm going to buy X game, I would usually like to know if one is distinctly better than the other.
OT: Some people like to argue even when invalid points are being thrown left and right. I do agree though, it gets pretty crazy, and I've been mostly avoiding those kinds of threads.
As for the bias thing, the problem is that it's not grounded in logic. If you try to understand it through logic, you will fail. Also, don't try to convince these same people to act logically.
Yes, it happens often. People use the same arguments that they previously argued against and/or called out to be invalid. In my first 6 months on this site, I tried to talk to these people. It's futile, just give up. They're everywhere too. My suggestion? Try to avoid those threads/people if you can, and just have fun talking with the people on these sites that actually want to have a good discussion. It's not worth getting all worked up over.
