Yep. The Feedback & Suggestion sect is the sane one. The other side mostly talks about sex this, romance that, character shipping this, representation that, bla, bla, bla...
I guess it will be something along the lines of "8x4=32 ! That's strategy, tactics & choices !" or "There is cross class combos, see this is tactical !" or "This game strikes a balance between DAO and DA2, it has tactical camera and action play !" or "You are taking this out of context, etc"
I am going to say something now that sounds controversial, strange and even perhaps terrible but I just have to, in light of things like this :-
I wished video gaming had never gone mainstream. I wished that the entire gaming community, from the gamers to the developers, was just a small fringe club like the Metal music community. I wished that we were just people who are just doing our own thing, not catering to any part of the mundane mediocrity that is the social masses and not giving a single f**k to what they think about video games or what they think about games being "difficult".
I am not a Metal music fan but I have a close friend who is and looking at how that community works, I sincerely wished that gaming had gone down the same route. No dumbing down, no dilution, no neutering, no pointless sociopolitical crap, just gaming and if anyone have a problem with that, they can ****** off type of mentality.
LOL. I'm guilty about the sex this, character that, blah blah blah... but it's for fun, yeah? 
As for that second part...
I'm right into metal music, however, I stay well away from the "community" part and just listen to it cause I like it. Some aspects of metal have actually gone "mainstream" and "commercialised"... Metallica is a prime example. If you listen to their early work (pre-1990) as opposed to later work (post-1990) you will see a vast difference and an increased fanbase thanks to their dumbing down and commercialisation of their music. They were no longer a band that made amazing thrash metal, but rather a Nickelback type band... I have to zip my mouth when people ask me about what music I like, I say metal, they say, "Ooooh I like Metallica, they so kewl *list albums post 1990) then I go on to talk about their earlier work, they're like, "Wot." No idea what I'm on about! But that's all well and good, they can have their mediocrity...
I could write a novel, LOL. But the point is, metal has bred a vast amount of divisive sub-cultures. You have your emo, screamo, nu-metal, metalcore, etc... Sad part is, just about every band in these sub-genres become mediocre and commercialised and this happens after they release a really good album...
Now if you compare this to DA, as an example, I'll use (insert metalcore band in this space here ____) releases an album, with lots of growly vocals and what not... minimal singing in choruses (which is generally the way with metalcore bands) now after some considerable popularity, said metalcore band will then release a much softer album with less growly vocals, more corny lovey dovey singing in choruses, and in general, less blast beats, guitar solos, etc.. in a bid to appeal to a wider audience because people will often complain, "Ewww that sounds like sh*t." (Ironically, these same people will more often than not listen to Justin Bieber and think that is great. LMAO.)
See where I'm going?
Retour en haut
Sticking to the alternatives isn't so feasible when they are becoming so very few.
