I like Vice City more than San Andreas, for some unknown reason

*Gasp* How terribly amazing. How about you use your head a little bit,  and realize that nobody cares. Can you guess why? Because that comment doesn't introduce a discussion, it just states a personal and inane fact. I think it is safe to say that it is quiet time for you now, unless you are going to think before you say something.

If only you had the power Archon, if only you had the power.

Rak, you'll find on this site, there are those who get irrationally irate for comments like this.

GTA is responsible for all of the evil on the planet.

At least, that's the excuse I use.

It's not the comment FMJ, it is the fact that he started a thread just to make a meaningless post. This post would have been fine if it would have been in response to other people talking about GTA. However, this gives no substance for a conversation, which leaves him looking like a moron. I would be surprised if you could point out something irrational about my reaction, considering my preceding point.

I was watching someone play San Andreas, and so its like the very first of the game and the main guy is riding around on this bike.  Like a bmx bicycle that you pedal around.  And he hits into some guy on the street who immediatly dies and all this cash spills everywhere.  Shortly after that, some guys drive by in a car and open fire with automatic weapons and hit the guy on the bike.  Who gets slightly wounded in the process before managing to pedal off and outrun the car!  LoL.

I think it was an acceptable entrance. He posted an opinion, which more or less invited a discussion on it.

However, it could have been amuch more interesting post. Rak-of-ribs, be sure to introduce yourself and read the FAQs

Never played San Andreas.

I've got GTA on the PSP. It's amusing, but hard to play on the bus. Keep crashing because I drive in response to how i feel the bus moving, rather than the ingame car :P
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Like E says, He posted his opinion, which is fine. There is no need to insult people or attack them just because it's not something you find important or doesn't bring up a question.

Apparantly people have comments to post about it, so I don't see any reason to respond with insults or heavy sarcasm.

I consider that irrational, yes because I don't feel that there was a need for that kind of comment, nor do I feel that I am the minority in this opinion...
But I could be.

*sigh*

Why is it that this discussion always happens in the VG board?  But if we're here I might as well say I agree with Archon, if you're going to post a new thread put some effort into it.  Make it something that invites discussion about your topic, not something that seams like a reply to someone else's question.

Because we like it this way Spriggan!!

It's fun!   :D

And I am not saying I don't think you should put thought into pots, because everyone should! I just don't think you have to insult people to let them know, that's all.

Since this has turned into an opinion post, I'll just say that I'm agreeing with Spriggan and Archon.  I hate these "Game X is cool" posts, especially when they're about games that have been covered to death in the news and other sites.  At least give me a "New Game X is going to be really cool, and here's why" post.  Heck, I guess I'd even settle for a "Game X is cool," as long as it added a detailed account of why.

And yet, when I make a detailed post about why game X is going to be cool, nobody responds.

These threads attract more replies.
