If I've never watched, for example, a game of cricket and one day decided to watch one in the local park, I could techincally say that one of those players was "the best cricket player I've ever seen" and it would be true. It wouldn't be valid towards anyone else, and it wouldn't have any weight.

For a gaming example: FF7 came out. A bunch of people I knew were screaming that it was the best RPG they've ever played. I asked them what RPG's they've actually played. Most had only played one or two. Do I respect their opinion on the game? Not really. If I heard that from someone that's played dozens upon dozens of console RPGs (at the time), I'd take the opinion with more weight.

Oh, and the Warcraft games are waiting for you in the corner as well.

Oh, hey there, Starcraft, what's up? Oh, you want to get your word in as well? Be my guest.

Wait, is that the Total War series banging outside the door right now?

Rise of Nations would like a word with you.

Or, you could all respect eachothers tastes? Any of you guys considered that option?

No. Respecting bad taste and bad opinions brings down the weight of valid and good tastes/opinions.

Its sort of like when someone who got a degree from McMail-in University runs around saying they have a bachelor's degree. It runs down the value for everyone else.

Galefore · 03-06-2009, 05:44 PM

Yeah, Lurch has a point; immediately saying a game is the 'BEST EVER' in a genre that you haven't fully explored is a bit ridiculous. However, it is also ridiculous to not let a kid have his fun with a game he enjoys. So if Ninjachu is a Halo Wars fan, letterrip. But he should watch his proclamations before he makes them, as others may think he's bat**** insane.

Lurch: He goes for the throat and doesn't let go.

Ok, let me rephrase this....

Do you like Living?

Hm?

Then stop arguing with him. He'll only curbstomp you 5000 times, then turn around and curbstomp you some more.

Trust me. I've seen it. He's very intelligent.

1-up salesman · 03-07-2009, 09:25 AM

Shut up, seriously. What'd he do to deserve flames? Liking Halo?

People still argue with Lurch? I thought we established that you can't win any argument with Lurch ever years ago.

It'd be better if you didn't try to play hero in a topic you're not fully read up on. It saves you the trouble of becoming another 'victim' of an unfortunate argument.

I didn't know you needed to be smart to win arguements based on ones subjective opinion.

You contradicted yourself there.
Then again you just might like arguing so much you are willing to argue with yourself.
