A brief rant

No one will listen to this opinion of mine. I don't care, cuz I'm sick of hearing all the nonsense that infects every game-centered forum in the 'net, and I simply have to declare that: Just because a game isn't designed to suit every one of your personal whims doesn't make it a bad piece of software.

No game will ever be complete realistic. Furthermore, what's 'realistic' to you might be tedious and boring to others, or *gasp* less authentic than the game you say 'lacks realism'.

Entertainment is the objective of any game. If it doesn't entertain, if it's not capable of entertaining, it doesn't matter how realistic or pretty it is.

Not doing things the same way another game in the same category did doesn't make a new game 'not an RPG' or 'not an FPS', or not an anything.

You don't know jack about a game you haven't played.

Just cuz it was made for a console doesn't make it bad. Just cuz it was made for a PC doesn't make it bad.

You not personally liking it doesn't even make it bad, it just means you didn't like it. I've loved games that objectively, were pretty weak. I've been bored to death by games that, looking at them with a clear eye, were very well done. Learn to see things objectively...or shut the hell up.

I could continue to vent here, but...if I fuss too much, it makes me tired, and I've expressed my opinion clearly enough, I think.
