Originally posted by Icewhite Edit. Nevermind. I'm not sure I even agree with what I posted. Carry on :P If in 1982 we played with the current mentality, we would have burned down all the pac man games since the red ghost was clearly OP. Instead we just got better at the game. |

Originally posted by Icewhite You're not on the soap box? You've entered the thread, stepped up to the pulpit for correction or edification. Does one need to be the OP of the thread to stand on the soap box? I understand your point though. The original post is hypocrtical to a point, but is that in his point or how he vented it in frustration? He does have a point with the OP does he not? |

Originally posted by Lobotomist No. Art, art in whatever form it takes, is subjective. You're inferring that the limited group, just because it has a narrowly defined and exclusive criteria for what is good, is more right than the unwashed masses who may appreciate that art for other reasons. Outside of the delivery, the OP seems to criticizing the idea that small exclusive sub-groups withing the mmo demographic somehow have better taste or more insight into what makes an mmo good. |

Everywhere? Name 1 member that fits your description and the quotes to back it up. I haven't seen a single member here who hates only mainstream big budget mmos and loves only small obscure mmos. I'm waiting patiently :) Themepark is not a sub genre, its an excuse. |

Originally posted by Quirhid Why bother creating fine dining when people are lapping up shit all the time?
Personally I don't gauge a games quality on it's popularity, nor do I dislike games simply because they are popular. |

Ironicly, I doubt the hipsters could agree on what a fine dining MMO is...

Originally posted by Quirhid You know, I read this before you deleted it. Not really fair, I finally got you to admit you don't care for any MMORPG, and the question stills stands. Do you now (or did you ever) consider any MMORPG a good "game" or are you so hip you don't enjoy any of them? What exactly are you looking for? While most hipsters are pretty clear what they dislike, trying to figure out what they are looking for is the real challenge.

Originally posted by Kyleran It's like the iconic hipster joke - What's a hipster's favorite band? I don't know, you've probably never heard of them... It is ironic when people complain about hipsters. As hipsters in general are ironic because by being hipsters they are popular and trendy. It's like Goth kids rejecting social norms - to adapt a different set of social norms. The real joke is humanity - one big punch line. MMO History: |

Honestly Quirhid...I agree with you lol. It seems that the more popular and well received a game is, the more hate it gets. I mean, compare the amount of hate that Guild Wars 2 gets on these forums to the amount of hate that Mortal Online gets...then ask yourself which one is the better game lol :). And most of the folks that post negative things about popular games are fans of obscure or dead games that most people don't know about. Many of them even go so far as to argue that said popular games don't even qualify as MMORPGs. The craziest thing is that I even like the older games like UO...heck I even enjoyed Darkfall. The difference is that I don't let that stop me from liking the more popular games like GW2. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

Originally posted by BadSpock Agreed. Somebody on these boards said something about a recent MMO feeling "soulless"... it's soulless because Humanity has lost it's soul. Can't make something really good and useful with crap tools. We just got to get the good tools back we misplaced is all.
 Nothing to see here... just another MMO Ghost.... |

Originally posted by fenistil Hehe that's a good point. I probably just never see it because the 3 people that play and care about MO keep to themselves ;). Still though, I feel like popular games get a lot of hate from people that don't play, and never plan to play them. While a more obscure, yet bad, game will only get hate (often legitimate) from its actual player base. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |
