Re: reviews like this are killing the community

In Response To: Re: reviews like this are killing the community (Sep7imus [subnova])

: I disagree (heh!). This community can handle it. I don't get the impression
: that Randall Glass or Mothergoat or Vector40 or whoever else expressed
: criticisms of Halo 2 are going away. (And even if one of them did, whcih
: would be a shame, the community could still handle it.) One of the cool
: things about this community, and it has everything to do with the kinds of
: games that Bungie makes that attract people with insightful, critical
: minds, is that it can handle and even encourage dissent. In fact, what it
: doesn't encourage is unthinking fanboi-ism. I have no idea what the HL2
: forua are like, but if they really aren't comparing hte sequel to the
: original or expressing ANY critiques of the game, they either have the
: best game ever on their hands or they aren't really thinking analytically
: about the game.

: That's a shame. Stick around. Realize that the game will be great (if not
: GREAT, according to some) whether some people ahve problems with it or
: not.

: -Sep7imus

Thanks Sep7imus. I agree completely. I ain't goin' nowhere. I LOVE this community. I never said "HalO 2 ez CrApZorZ not lEE7 lak HAlo !@!!!111!1"
I was making critical comparisons.

I also think it's silly that all the critiques are getting blown off because they "don't like change." I think that couldn't be further from the truth. The silliest retorts I've seen (which are few, most of the anti-me responses have been very well put) have been loaded with an element of fanboyism that LOVe to put words in my mouth.

But yeah, the community can take it and so can Bungie.

I think the thing we've really seen is that Halo was precious to a lot of people for many different reasons. The changes that did take place are really making people identify what about the franchise they hold or held dear. It's pretty interesting.
