If anyone cares, here's what I thought of PS - Page 4

And if you'd read my post you'd have reached this part

After they're told that's an idiotic argument the ones that actually have a brain always seem to go for long drawn out arguments that highlight alllll the reasons they don't like the game anymore and therefore why the game is bad and no one should play it

The original poster simply skipped the first step and moved on to the, while intelligently worded, long drawn out post part.

See the thing is that this is indeed your typical "PS sucks d00d" post, it's simply worded with some degree of intelligence. That does not however change the response of "That's nice, now go away".

I can see how someone can view the post as "PS SUX d00d" post but in reality I think that most beta testers that have decided not to purchase this game are much more torn than I have personally seen in other betas. I dont think that more than a slight percentage have written planetside off for good. Most are taking a wait and see attitude.

The game has much potential, I am just waiting to see of SOE is going to stand up and bring the game up so its one of the all time greats. Which it could be with some improvements.

Its almost like someone just laid the foundation of a home down but havent built the walls. The lots great, the neighborhood is outstanding. A great commute to work but you want to see what the homes going to look like before you run out and get your loan commitment letter sent to the seller.

I don't really have any problem with people wanting to wait and see what's done with it. Hell if had had a chance to play AO before I bought it, I woudln't have bought it. Probably the same for DAoC although that game at least worked when I bought it. But why make posts like this? To inform others about how lame you think Planetside is? If people really want to try the game before they bought it they don't have to work all that hard. Hell as long as you know just one person that bought it you can try it out for seven days.

See I just plain don't agree with his arguments. A couple of his ideas for changes are decent, but for the most part I think his arguments against PS are unfounded. I'm really sick of countering arguments that are based wholly on opinion because no matter what you say or how many arguments you counter the argument doesn't end. I spent hours doing that on the Beta boards and now, since there are no more beta boards and SoE is just nuking posts like this on it's boards, the same old arguments are starting to crop up here. These boards were a kind of nice refuge from the negativity incarnate that was the Beta boards. Just irks me to see posts like this start up on PSU

By all means, if you don't like this thread, move on. I'm not forcing you to stay here. I just post because I want to. Add me to your ignore list, and just let it go.

No, you're telling us about how you don't like PS. We don't care, not even a little bit. In fact reading your title it would appear you seemed to know we wouldn't care, and yet posted anyways.

Unless the majority of the forum voices their agreement in this thread, I see no reason why these claims are true. You may speak for yourself, but since when were you the authority on everyone's opinion?

JackBoCracken, dont worry about what they say. Leave them to their flames, when no one responds to them, they move on. Focus on the people who actually respond with inteligence, and give us some feed back on our ideas.

Mr. Elf.

You have adequately proven that you are a twit, no further demonstration is necessary.

Your comments are both fundamentally irrelevant, and mildly irksome. I would request that you desist with them but I am given to understand that it gives your kind great pleasure to tarnish an otherwise pleasant converstation.

Thus, I will only ask one thing of you. Please stop trying to speak for me. Or any one else here. Voice your own opinions, as your own, and move on. Attempting to hide behind the WE as you make your ridiculous allegations is somewhat annoying.

Speak for yourself, if you can, and try to say something intelligent. Backing up a post that says "d00d you suck" with, "man that d00d sucks because all d00ds who say that stuff suck" does not count. Saying that you are tired of countering arguments along the vein that he represented is also a completely meaningless response. I do not give a shit if you have responded to this before. If you have, please, I'm begging you, feel free to NOT respond to it again now. Please do not feel obligated.

If you are indeed so enamoroued of PS, please, go play it. Leave words like "constructive criticism" to those who have at least some vague conception of their meaning.

To recap:

YOU DO NOT SPEAK FOR THE WHOLE. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU HAVE SAID BEFORE (as you are apparently unable to say it again, or refer to it in a meanginful fashion).

You know, I could continue the flame war you just tried to start but I really don't think these boards are the place for it since the atmosphere for the most part is friendly. I don't want that to change to I'm just going to go with: Sorry, we don't see things the same way.
