So I was talking to a friend the other day and I mentioned I'd been playing minecraft and the response I got from him was "That game is completely S**T, Even the graphics are horrible."
TC Pirate, your friend doesn't understand what "Indy Developer", "Beta" or "Gameplay" mean and therefore is ignorant to exactly what Minecraft is. I get far more angry when it's a Band/Album they have NEVER HEARD, and voice an opinion on it.

Me: I like it, and I know it's going to be fun.
Friend: Well all it is is that it's adding some new power-ups, Yoshi, some new levels and tweaking a little stuff from the old one. Why not get something that isn't such a rip-off, like Left 4 Dead 2?
Mr.Omega, your friend is aware of what "Gameplay" means as he list everything that explains why I haven't bought a Nintendo console since I sold my Gamecube. Whilst his counter-argument pertaining to L4D2 is obviously something completely invalid as he was unable to clock that not only did it come out EXACTLY a year after L4D1 but by adding melee weapons, new zombies, maps and items they are obviously doing their own version of patching/sequels for Nintendo (seeing as they act like they're still decades behind) or in this case "adding Yoshi, planets, power-ups etc. etc. Oh and obv like...the irony there is insane so check this:
As for my example, I have an insanely stubborn mate who can get in a right old state once and a while when he reckons he's right. Now I'm sure I'll get hate for this, but the Move is Superior to the Kinect. I don't care about voice recognition and all that fruity BS, use a headset, but for it's main perpose, motion tracking, it is worse off than the Move. Now my mate couldn't handle this at all. Despite me getting the specs and capabilities of both the camera up, how fast they capture at this definition etc. and after saying for ages about how he'd get a Kinect and not a Move (this is before we had played either btw) then right at the end (as he always does) he realised he was losing and said "Yeah well what your saying doesn't matter, I'll use a controller anyway"...
So essentially after telling me for like 5 solid minute hows you want to get a Kinect and you reckon it's all this and all that, you're going to use a controller anyway...most null point in existance.
I now have a move, it's awesome, it's cheap, games are cheap, good stuff is incoming for it also. I've still not played Kinect, but I have at least 5 friends who have one, and just about everyone I know has played on one, not a single positive review has befallen my ears.
