| JWeinCom said: I certainly haven't deflected any criticism of TLOU2. As established, I haven't played the game so I generally don't know if any particular criticism is valid or not. I don't know what being a mod has to do with anything. I have not moderated you, nor have I threatened to. And, I've never moderated anyone just for speaking negatively about a game they haven't played. Not speaking for other mods, but my response to you was simply in my personal capacity telling you that I found your analogy to be shitty. Which is demonstrated by the fact that you can't actually defend it in any meaningful way except to point at other people. As explained, you can indeed make a decision based on reviews or lets plays or whatever. In deciding whether or not to buy the game, that's the best information you could get (unless you can play it for free) so you got to go with it. That's what I did. But, since I only read reviews and watched gameplay videos, I recognize that my information is limited, and won't make any statement more bold than "I didn't think I'd enjoy it based on what I saw/read". Generally, if I haven't played a game, I'm not going to comment on its overall quality. Which again, isn't a an official rule, but I think a pretty sensible way to act. I'm assuming you'd agree the best way to have an informed opinion on a game is to play it. Watching videos of it would be a very distant second. Reading/listening to the assessment of someone who has played the game is a really distant third. Reading the assessment of someone who has only watched the game and read accounts from players is an incredibly distant fourth. |
No, I wasn't referring to threat of moderation, but more of you having these kind of talks with those who "spoke ill" (which is what I'm getting from you and 3 others in this thread so far) of games they haven't played on other platforms (PC included, and there's a lot on this site who don't play on PC for that matter, ergo, not having played those games that never touched consoles).
For another, yes I actually can, just saying "your shitty analogy" and "can't defend it", doesn't make it so. You and 3 others, who all just happen to love this one game, and defend it to bits, think it's "fucking shitty".
Information is only as limited as what you decide to look for and how long for. There are plenty of LP's on Youtube and other sites, giving you literal start to end, full cheevos, full walkthroughs to give you every nook and cranny of story to watch. Again, you chose to look for a few, and thus your information is limited in scope, no ifs or buts, it is limited in scope due to your choices.
I haven't participated in American voting, yet I'm able and right to comment on how shitty it's turnout was, or the riots that followed afterwards, and I'm not even from the US. People on here freely shit on PC's games because it's all "MMO's and RTS", without having played many a game on there, let alone those two types of genres, and yet they freely are able to toss out whatever ill informed comment they make.
No, I do not agree, because I'm actually able to find information I want and when I choose to. Just because you didn't, doesn't change my opinion, and from our previous interaction, I can tell you and me are going to disagree a lot, so I'm just going to leave it at that.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
