Smash Bros. sucks

I guess even Wii-fans are too frustrated to simply laugh this one off, what a shame, I thought at least the "winners" could be more relaxed.

Actually, I have no problems with someone bashing or picking apart Smash Bros Brawl. What I take issues with are glaring innacuracies in what are supposed to be observations, but are merely blindly hypothesized erroneous postulates about what makes a game enjoyable. I do this both for a game that is being bashed or praised, and whether the game is popular or not. I don't see why I should give this vomit of falsities a pass simply because I and everyone else alive knows that he's wrong.

If anything, there are actually two purposes that I am aiming for in my response:

1) that eventually, however unlikely it is, the guy who wrote that article will come across my post and rgoes "wow, I totally get it now" obviously that last part is even more unlikely than him finding my response to begin with, but if you never put out the true information to be found, then all people are left with is the false information.

2) this is also a mental test for myself. Many people go through life going "well, I like this, and I hate that, because the first thing is good and teh other thing is bad" and that's teh furthest their mental exploration over teh issue goes. They never try to understand their own reasoning and it is this type of reasoning that results in bigotry and an easily influenced general populace.

By refuting the claims the articel writer makes, it allows us to clarify the reasons why we enjoy the game ourselves. In many ways that understanding of why we like the game helps us find and identify other good games and filter out games that we might initially think are similar, but end up lacking a critical piece that makes it enjoyable. Understanding why we enjoy a game also allows us to enjoy that game even more completely.
