Opinions you have that most people don't agree with.

[ComicsAreWeird]

I think that FF VIII is one of the best games in the series.loved the junction system, the characters and the steampunk vibe. A LOT of people disagree with this.

How was my original point a tangent and irrelevant.
Its totally relevant.

How is "WoW is popular because everyone's friends are there" (a bit of a tautology to begin with) relevant to my assertion that WoW and Rift are comparable in terms of actual quality, and that both could stand to learn a thing or two from DDO?

The reason people are staying with it isn't because they think other mmo's are bad (the original hypothesis laid in this thread) but their community is on WOWs.

I wasn't talking about popularity.

In fact, this thread is about unpopular opinions. And popular opinion seems to have it that WoW is an objectively better game for reasons that have nothing to do with its popularity.

My big bang you people are hard to talk to sometimes.

I'm not even gonna ask what "you people" means here.

Because the community is what makes WoW the best MMO out there

I plead the Fifth on whether or not WoW's fanbase is any sort of point in its favor. The fact remains that popularity does not equal quality. (See also: music.)

Fallout 3 bored me.
I found Mirror's Edge to be awful.
I will never play a playstation because I hate the controllers. So much.

I think it's better for you to try to enjoy whatever you do, rather than to find fault with it, as since you are spending your time doing it, you might as well enjoy yourself.

Ectogenesis [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_uterus] can ultimately resolve the abortion controversy, and should be used to do so. Though it will raise other issues from some of the same sources, namely those groups who believe sex should be for reproduction only.

Left-Handers are due more respect than they get. That said, user-input in video games does not get from developers the respect and attention it deserves.

Sexual monogamy is overrated, and permanent marriage is an inappropriate goal for a people that frequently lives to be over seventy. Our society would be better served by promoting sexual responsibility, and regarding sexually transmitted pathogens as they do those that are transmitted via other vectors.

Cannibalism, necrophilia, and zoophilia aren't bad on principle. They can be bad, but they aren't pure eeeeeeeeevil.

Hey, as long as it's not pedophilia and you're not abusing animals (is that zoophilia?), seems fine to me. No one was using that corpse anyways.

sexual paraphilia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia]) has inhibited our ability to treat, and thus our ability to control preventatively, sexual predators.

Death penalty = Yes please.

i actually forgot about this, if the person is proclaimed without a doubt a murderer/rapist/etc.. then yes, may they have the death penalty ASAP so we don't waste a single cent more on them through government spending or taxes.

It actually costs more to kill them than it does to lock them up for life. Besides which, conviction beyond reasonable doubt has wrongfully buried plenty of innocent men and women already, here in the US.

238U.

i just need to see these figures, say a man is 30 when he murders someone, he roughly has 50 years left to just rot in jail taking up space/food/time/tax money(don't prisons get paid by tax money? if i'm not mistaken? at least some.) of everyone around him, how does giving him a quick volt of electricity or sleep medicine cost more than that? I'm just saying i would like to see figures before i believe something such as that.

 

[Treeinthewoods]

I hate Valve, I've played Half-Life and all it's bastard sequels, L4D, TF2 and Alien Storm and they are some of the most boring, pointless and unsatisfying games I've ever played.

I hope Episode 3 never comes out so I can avoid having to hear all the unavoidable praise that will be showered all over it. The fake thread about Activision buying them out actually made me think happy thoughts until I discovered it was trolling.

It's not the actual killing that is expensive (although it's getting harder as more and more countries flat out refuse to sell the drugs to the US); it's the constant retrials. No judge wants innocent blood on his hands, so the appeals are allowed, and the investigation done again. Every. Single. Time.

 

[Farseer Lolotea]

You people means gormless forum dwellers who like to deal on pedantic issues like the one i am now responding to.

And its popularity has EVERYTHING to do with why its a better game. It's an MMO they live and die on the people you are playing with. It's a very simple concept. Which you seem incapable of grasping for whatever reason.

Down to flat-out insulting me, I see.

Again: by that logic, one might just as well insist that the tripe that plays on Top 40 stations is the best music out there.

Things I believe are good, but the majority dislikes:
Halo
Marijuana
Wrestling

Things I believe are terrible, but the majority loves:
Batman
Call of Duty
American Football
Action Movies

I swear to God if one more asshole compares wrestling to gay guys touching eachother I'm going to Diamond Cutter them. It's something fans have heard a million times, and saying it doesn't make you some kind of badass rebel. It just makes you an unoriginal douchebag./end rant

ooooooooooooooooh i understand that, i meant in a theoretical world where that shit isn't allowed,which i thought you understand that, what i meant was if it is clear that person is a fuckwad, for whatever reason amongst murder/rape/etc.., then that piece of shit get the death penalty later that day, no retrials, none of that shit.

 

[Torrasque]

I don't think Gears of War is a mindless shooter full of "macho space marines".

Single player is the more important component than multiplayer when it comes to games, unless they are primarily meant for online/cooperative play (Left 4 Dead for example). This is a popular opinion on this site, but overall in the world of gaming it is not.

I agree alot with this.

Related: I hate Black Ops with a passion
Also, I don't like most music before the 1990's. I think music gets better as the years go on (not all of it mind you)

I suppose in a perfect world where it were possible to prove without a doubt that somebody is guilty, yeah, then it would be cheaper. No retrials for you. In reality, this isn't the case and there is always doubt, hence human rights. (Although I must add that I am morally against the state given the power of life and death.)

I don't particularly enjoy the FPS
unless it's hybrid FPS/Something else, then it's ok

I hear this all the freaking time, I get it, but fuck that guy (I'm grouping them all in one). Wrestling is awesome and you can't convince me otherwise.

thats more or less what i meant, if proven, especially if it was pure video proof of the person doing such, or dna/physical evidence, then i don't see a problem with letting the law smug one resource absorbing fuck out of society.

Graveyards are a waste of space. Corpses should be donated to science, ground up and used as fertilizer or animal feed, or otherwise disposed of in the cleanest and cheapest way possible. It has ceased to be a person, its just rotting meat, why does it need its own piece of land for year and years to come?

Surprisingly, most people don't agree with me. Odd, eh?

Þis. Very much þis. Soylent green might be a difficult option to sell people on, but what's wrong wiþ being ground up, sterilized, and used as fertilizer like every oþer animal on earþ? At þe very least, could we stop putting caskets in concrete boxes þat prevent þem from ever reentering þe environment? Dust to dust doesn't mean much when you insist on sealing þat dust away.
