Johnmourby: Apparently none. You did say "you lost me at...." Implying that nothing I said had any mean or worth to you from there. And seems sad to me this difference of opinion meant that, when I was trying to say that the guy with the unpopular opinions can still have good reasons for them.
F4LL0UT: Yes, I did imply that. However, it's simply odd that in the same paragraph where you say "I'm tired of people saying that it's bad like there's no way that an intelligent person could disagree with them whilst giving no facts to back up their opinion" you just say "that shotgun sucks", thus making it seem that you yourself have the same approach that you accuse others of, just in case of a different game - and I as a reader, and especially as a Duke fan, of course instantly lose a lot of interest in seeing the arguments you are going to use to defend BioShock Infinite. You started with creating that big gap between us, so what are the odds that your pro-Bioshock arguments will resonate with me? At the very least arguments concerning the combat and weapons in BioShock are most likely going to be meaningless to me since you instantly made it clear that you have a different opinion on that kind of stuff than I have.
So don't get me wrong, of course that does not mean that I think that you're stupid, beneath me, have bad taste or anything. But you simply *did* lose me at the point when you distanced yourself from people like me, who love Duke Nukem 3D (and the look and feel of its shotgun) and when you made it seem that you weren't gonna show the understanding and sophisticated critique you're requesting from others if it were someone else praising Duke 3D.
I can go into depth about my apathy about Duke If you want. I assumed it would be a waste of time,.
What I was trying to show is that, for me atleast no game is scared. And that I understand how it feels to want to shoot something popular down. I wasn't trying to say you're stupid if you like duke 3D. So I'm sorry If there was any hypocrisy there.
I do get why people like Duke (At least I think I do) But that some games are scared (Duke, System Shock 2 Morrowind) And some are official targets for attack (Half life, Bioshock, Oblivion) gets to me.
But yeah I'm sorry and if you'd like me to try to approach more sophisticated I'd be happy to.
