@Big Boss

You are a delight. I can’t remember the last time I laughed out loud so hard and for so long.

By virtue, an acquired taste is always good. The only way it can be otherwise is if the thing has absolutely little to no legitimate value.

Translation: An acquired taste is always good, unless it is not. Overly Simplified: Good is always good unless it is not good.
You make my point for me. A dog rocket, is after all, a dog rocket and all the mustard in the world will not change that fact.
If; by your statement you mean to say that you have acquired a taste for dog rockets, i.e., second rate, poorly executed software, then you have my pity.
I work too hard for my money and have the strength of character not to settle for “good enough”. Homiletic as it may be “good enough”, seldom is.

“The upside for this game is that there is nowhere for it to go but up.
Even adding Pink Hello Kittys and Telletubbies at this point would be a vast improvement. ”

This statement is ironic and hypocritical when followed by the following statement:

“Things people that suck at cod4 say for 500; Alex.”

Incorrect. Your feeble attempt to twist the phrase not withstanding; the statement is ironic and sarcastic and stands alone.
Your hypocrisy argument is merely a poorly executed “takes one to know one”.
<Sarcasm> I’m crushed. </Sarcasm> (emphasis added)

The fact is, just because one might not be very good at something, it doesn’t mean they can’t love it.

True.

Similarly, just because one sees the little value something has

Clearly. If one sees the “little value something has”, it must be because one has observed something that they perceive to have little intrinsic value.

it doesn’t mean it’s only because they’re not very good at it.

You’re presuming that I’m presume that your dislike of cod4-esque games is a sour grapes argument.
You suck, therefore you hate. How presumptuous. However, you presume correctly.
5 out of 4 snobs dislike things they are not adept at and your previous “people with more refined tastes” statement snobbishly screams I suck, therefore I hate.

You make presumptuous and irrational arguments.

Presumptuous, perhaps, but certainly not irrational.

You’re associating checkers with chess?

And why not? Both are games of skill and strategy.

If you can’t see the inherent strategic value of MGO over checkers, then i’m afraid you aren’t very discerning.

Who is making irrational arguments? Is this not the pot calling the kettle black?

personally, i don’t care for any multiplayer mode in MGO besides sneaking, but even then,
the rest of the modes are no better or worse than any other game’s multiplayer modes;
every multiplayer shooter out there is as shallow as the next and even as shallow as people are claiming MGO to be.

Once again you statements just snobbishly scream I suck, therefore I hate.

But at least the MGO modes offer the strategic MGS skillset that far exceed most other games out there. run, gun and camp: yeah, that really beats MGO’s run, gun, camp, stalk, incapacitate, requirements for paying careful attention and heightened sense of cooperation.

I disagree. I don’t see how anyone can feel any sense of cooperation without voice communication. Any sense of strategy and/or cooperation is achieved in a vacuum and completely imagined by the player.

MGO is the chess to COD4/HALO’s checkers. And, if you can’t see that all by yourself, than i’m afraid there’s really too much of a hassle for anyone to try to explain to you the objective merits and demerits either way. it’s not worth it.

…oh please. spare me your infantile evasions.

what does cod4 have?

Live in game player voice communication for developing and implementing real time strategy, cooperation and comradery.

but, i suppose impetuous people like yourself will always just say any ill-conceived thing for lack of perspective.

Right back at’cha, Sparky.

i’m done here.

Yes. Yes you are. Seriously man, be ashamed.

there really isn’t anything worth arguing over with people who aren’t very bright.

You’re right about arguing with dullards. My daughter says “never argue with idiots, Dad. They’ll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience”. So, before you do, I propose we end this thread.
