Difference being I am not trying to.

To whit:

'He's not comparing the product, obviously. He's comparing the emotions he feels when someone claims he does not like Uncharted or Kubrick and Lynch films. "similarly shocked".'

'Even saying that the two statements elicit similar reactions is a comparison between the two sources.'

It has everything to do with what you posted. Both sentences are addressed simultaneously.

I don't think this thread should result in a ban but please tell me what purpose this thread holds, aside from revving up fanboys and creating a big debate over a videogame you don't like, which by the way is completely subjective and ultimately trolling.

But that's not even true Khuutra.

I can compare the surprise I have when someone tells me he dislikes Uncharted to the surprise I have when I see the size of one of my feces in my toilet without actually comparing Uncharted to feces.

Perhaps I could have chosen a better analogy but the point still stands.

Simple disagreement with the assertion that one standard of importance is universal is hardly "looking to battle", CGI. I have not, at any point, tried to downplay the veracity of any given value set; you're the only one who has done so as of this point in the conversation.

It's not a good point.

That's why  I used the phrase "erudite exaggeration", Boutros. They don't have to be even, because  I already accounted for that inequality.

We have moved too far from the original context of the conversation, here, which is probably the one weakness of trimming these quote trees.

When someone says that the combat in Uncharted is not as tight as that in Gears (which is what I said), and then you respond that "that doesn't matter though", you can understand how that comes across as an attempt at refutation, yes?

That's fine; context's rule re-established, disagreement does not have to go further than that.

Nah, I was just teasing.  Uncharted - as in the original title - was pretty darn good but a little rough here and there in gameplay - gunplay was a little loose for example.  Uncharted 2 though was pretty much spot on for that type of game.

The closest I've felt to the big guns of cinema while gaming is probably Team ICO titles.

I didn't see that big a difference between Drake's Fortune and Among Thieves mechanically - I mean yes, there were fewer cheaply placed hard-to-see grenade launcher buttheads and the up-close combat was made more dynamic (and slower), but on a more basic level it played like more or less the same game. The biggest difference I could discern was that the set pieces (while no more interactive) were considerably more mobile, like with the collapsing hotel.
