Interesting insights into the mindset of a person who likes ETW in its current state

He probably already had a Steam account so he could play Half-Life or Left for Dead. He's a 13-year old fanboi. (Not that there's anything wrong with that) Give him some great graphics and effects and he will be happy until the next game of the week comes along.

He is who CA were targeting with this release of the game - the Lowest Common Denominator. In fact, I'll bet if enough people like that kid go out and buy the game in it's current state, it will never get patched to a level of quality comparable to the other TW titles... Why should CA opatch it, when that kid is going to be bored with the game in a month, and downloading something new into his Steam account?

I don't think you're doing yourself any favours with another of these threads. As Jason said, it doesn't look like there can be anything constructive from insinuating generalisations about people who disagree with you.

Some threads deserve to be nuked by the moderators.

Garbage thread is garbage.

'Bit o' forum advise:

Attacking people for liking a game and calling them a "fanboi", as well as throwing others into the same category for liking the same game, is uncalled for and unwelcome. I would advise the OP to be more considerate of others in the future. The .org is meant to be a place of welcoming and friendship, not flaming.

we need to put a giant sign that says "FLAMERS NOT WELCOME" or something. hopefully this wont turn out like the TWC or the official forums, where threads that bash CA and other members are rampant and when mods lock threads down for being rude and the like, they are accused of being paid off by CA for dling their job.
a shame.

Playstation products are SOOOO much better than Nintendo . . . and the Wii sucks! Give me a PS3 with MLB The Show 09 any day!!!!

PS3..even worse. :(

I don’t see this thread going anywhere but downhill from here.
Nothing constructive.
Nothing illuminating.
Nothing interesting.
I’m putting it out of its misery.
