You know, comments like "SH5 will be the most awesomeness thing ever" don't bother me. Comments like "SH5 will be the worst thing ever in the history of the universe" don't bother me (and I hate hyperbole - all credibility disappears whenever I read such comments). But what does bother me are "Your opinion is wrong and thus you are an idiot because whilst I haven't seen the game I know I am righter than you" comments...regardless of whether the maker of said comments is in the "positive" or "negative" camp.

Next to no-one here has seen the game, so how can anyone judge the game, either way to empower them enough to tell others that their opposing view is wrong?

Fine to opine...but when it comes at the expense of personally ridiculing others (and that includes "STFU and stop whining" comments), I think it's a bit rich.
