OK, really....just WHY do people like X so much?!?!

Personally, I feel that X2 was the best entry in the series. X3 just sort of ruined the mystique that was built up from X.
The story just sort of fell apart in the final act. It's genuinely frustrating when series like X are subjected to final hour rewrites/budget constraints/publisher angst/developer ineptitude/too much fan input/too little fan input/over abundance of ideas for their development cycle/too much bloom.
Y's looking like a good property. It's got a lot of the same elements, but somehow feels fresher.

You know, it took me a while to get that.
At first I thought you were actually complaining in the most convoluted fashion about the game "X: Beyond the Frontier" or one of its sequels. Took me a couple of seconds to realise that when you said X you meant X as a variable, not as the game itself.
Otherwise, I agree with what I can assume your opinion is, however "What's the deal with [x]" threads are kinda fine IMO. This is a gaming site, and we can have gaming discussions. I am going to shoot the next person who asks "What's so great about Half Life/Portal/Skyrim/Mass Effect/[Insert other games that this question has been asked over and over for here]". At least come up with some new titles to complain about.

Gah, I did it again. X, X2, and then the final X3... Christ, for a second I thought someone else was having the same thoughts as me, but its just those cursed variable Xs again.LostGryphon said:
I'm stuck playing X because my copy of Y is all busted up.
Oh Y. You're where my heart truly belongs...

Why are we worrying about X when NAZI FEMINIST CASUAL GAMERS ARE COMING TO STEAL OUR TROUSERS!!!
HOW FUCKING DARE YOU NOT MENTION HOW AWESOME G, A AND Y ARE!dreadedcandiru99 said:

You played the shitty console port, the PC Master Race will cover you on the better version for a buck during the sale. Get it now or your a PUUUUUUUUSSSS!
I think your right Matthew94. Skyrim was way less complex then Oblivion which was way less complex then Morrowind and sucked because of this streamlining. Its just a turd in hype-wrapping and won't just die and be forgotten like Modern Warfare did.Matthew94 said:
Oh ***** ***** *****.
As people who read my posts know I'm a big fan of X and have been ever since I first started gaming. I think that the story and gameplay both work really well and it introduced a strong protagonist in Y who has been changing gaming culture for years.
I know that some people might say that it's too much like Z, but they don't understand that what X did differently was to do more with less. It used only two major components to create a memorable and full experience, whereas Z had to have three parts, but only the bit in the middle was really fleshed out, whereas the beginning and end just felt like additions to tie it all together.

I find this thread slightly relevant to my username.
So many people...referencing Z.
Stop talking about me!

Insinuate that you're not a "real man" somehow because you like ponies.
Assert how I'm too good to watch ponies and my opinion somehow invalidates yours because of it!
More RAGE!!!!!!!
[sub]Seriously though, I'm not a fan of the show but I don't understand how seeing pictures related to it could ever ruin a person's day. To me, it would seem like that type of person was asking for something to ruin their day in the first place.[/sub]
OT: You don't like X? I love X. I need to rage at you about how wrong your opinion is and show you why X is so great that nobody could ever hate it!
Although that's not actually in the spirit of what I usually try to post. Typically if I see something that inflammatory, I'll just read the thread for a quick laugh and leave it or not enter it in the first place. I'm not a very combative person, so I'll either try to post a well-reasoned response about what I find good about X, and then either ignore or feed the angry, spittle-spewing response I get. If the other person gives a calm, reasoned approach too, though, then I'm a happier person for it.
oddly even this type of topic has been done over and over but people never learn do they, ofc this just quickly goes into a "lol i get the joke now ill just say y is better than x"Voren said:
i even remember posting in an exact topic like this ages ago ... ah well
i applaud you sir, both entertaining and informingTwilight_guy said:Yes, your very clever parody of the many vapid opinion based topics that are in these forums is clearly extremely clever and eye opening. I mean now I can quiet clearly see that these things exist, they are common, and there arguments are dumb, since you satirized them so well. I already knew these things in advance, meaning this was a pointless unfunny gesture, but clearly this is all part of your elaborate and deep web of clever parody. You couldn't possibly have been so short sighted as to try and parody something and wind up posting something even more pointless and useless then the average problem thread due to its not only having no meaning or argument but also not pointing out any new information that we didn't already know. This is clearly a parody of a parody in that your parodying the short sighted people who post useless parodies on these forums to try and make a joke and wind up just cluttering up things more while proving and helping nothing. Good show on your deeply thought out multilevel comment that clearly has show us why these types of threads are bad by making this bad thread and thus showing us how bad it is even though we could already have seen that and thus wont appreciate your parody while appreciating your parody.
Oh wait, I've gone and created a paradox...
oh dear...
Friggin hipsters, ive lost my faith in the gaming community.
C is always gonna be the best, older is better as a rule cos it has GAMEPLAY rather then shiny graphics and online multi BS that you x and y tards insist on shoving in everything.
Gaming is dead, you lot killed it.
