The only thing Hate is when ppl resort to SALES, REVIEWS, and META to prove something..."especially in the why my game is better than yours" debates. We say all the time SALES DONT EQUAL QUALITY...we all go yeess not to look like a fool, but there are ppl constantly usin it...other than that....everything is normal

Let's hope it cheered poor Jesus H. Kung up too! 

Otherwise we might have to resort to terrible WMD's, like LOLCats.   

What? There is no flambait post in here at all.....

This is all a side effect of PS3 starting to dominate the XBox, the XBox fanbois have no idea what to say, all their BS is used up now leaving nothing left but to drool 'Tard Nectar (Mountain Dew) babble onto the forums hoping someone will comfort them in all the money they lost on their failboat of a system.

It's all about not getting sucked into the partisan bickering...I know I've been sucked into it at times...but you can only control urself...if you see a flamebait post...shoot it to a Mod...you might get lucky and get the person a warning or a ban...

Nothing here is any worse than 1 or 2 years ago. The only reason people feeel that way is because of:

1. After a while you see the same topics being discussed over and over again. This is just natural because there's only so much to discuss. But it's also natural to feel a lil boredom because of it, from time to time.

2. Nostalgia. It's a phenomenon that affects almost everyone.

So in essence, when you start getting these feelings, you actually should ask what is wrong with YOU and not what is wrong with the forums and the community.

Humor?

Yeah...but quality is subjective...sales are not, so it's hard to tell me a great is the greatest thing since slice bread...but nobody wants to buy it...that sounds like YOU (that is the person who thinks the game is so great) might love it, but a major of gamers don't!

Like someone said earlier, the single biggest problem is that people cannot distinguish their opinion or theory from fact. Everyone wants to make their perception a fact. This isn't only on forums though, it happens more and more in life, sadly it is a human fault.

Personally, this forum is far better than most. It is hard to not get dragged into a flame thread even though you tell yourself repeatedly not to. I am working on it myself, but what I have started doing is if the thread starts to piss me off I typically close the tab I have open that has that thread, simple enough. Debates are fine but arguing with someone who has made opinion into cold hard fact is pointless.

imho so easy to use...
