Let's talk about Bioshock. And for the record, since I can't say anything without getting attacked by GP, I only dissed on Bioshock's first two hours. I am open to what the game may have in store later, but so far I'm unimpressed. That was all my post was intended to be.
Furthermore, no more Killer7 talk in this thread, unless it pertains to Bioshock. I was trying to squelch that and it didn't work.
Odd that someone who accuses others of being ignorant doesn't realize that perhaps getting attacked was justified in that case. Sorry if you didn't realize it, but I only went after you, after your completely uncalled for condescending statements directed towards Mashiro. It seems quite silly to state that someone is ignorant who hasn't experienced something, so I take it that you feel the same about drugs or something of that nature? Maybe since you are a movie goer, perhaps watching something like Porn would be more applicable. If you don't experience it then you are ignorant and cannot make a decision on whether you are interested or not? You can learn fully what something is about through reading about it, or in the case of gaming by watching gameplay footage. Yeah you may not know EXACTLY what it is about but you will get a fairly conclusive idea if you would be interested in playing it or not, whether it is the genre, graphics, or even how it is designed.
I realize Evan that you think I'm out to get you, believe me I have better things to do, but when you get on your high horse and accuse others of being ignorant, openly insulting them when you could have had more tact. Then yes I will step in, regardless if you realize that perhaps you may have stepped over the line a bit. For someone who prides himself over trying to open up discussion, you sure like putting people, like Mashiro, on the defensive when you could have got him to defend his views without insulting him. You've accused me of it of getting hostile, but it is almost like you don't realize that your own comments put people on the defensive as well which is almost never a good way to get someone to open up about why they have their opinions.
Regardless I will stick up for people whom I do respect and consider a friend when I feel they are being outright insulted or being talked down to.
