I think anyone with half a brain knows those ‘facts’… the thing is restating them when people are enjoying their time at the watercooler; where restating bad news over and over again wins no audience. . It is about appropriateness to share (and less so, for me, how it is shared (scream away)).
This thread was created by someone thinking of leavimg the forum- sure it opens to wider themes. … but would this thread be the best place to criticise box cover art? No!
Peiple reading this thread wouldnt care to discuss it. They would go to a thread entitled ‘box cover art’.
The detractors seem to think that destroyimg the game experience for everyone across all threads is vital.
I will never deny a user their experience. Life is too random.
I will try and help… but the consensus with a few over voiced whingers is to educate others to not ’ fix things for themselves’ rather it is to het everybody joining in their chant.
I know there are extremists on both sides of the coin.
Raving doesnt help anyone; no matter how elegant the argument for said rave…
When ranting and raving gets in the way… then we have sickness, yes?
These forums were unecessarily sick.
Same thing happened to many internet forums when a certain demographic hit them (gsmarena/head-fi etc)
Whilst the game has a few things needing further work (true of every open world rpg I have ever seen/and that is a lot) - the game also has some great things working for it (for many posters here - the good outweighs the bad)…
We need things to be represented fairly.
These forums lost their purpose - this thread is about that (maybe?) … at the end of the day there is a thread, an original poster (OP), and discussion about a specific topic.
If entitled whingers cant follow basic rules- other entitled whingers are allowed (equally) to share their experience.
The world can afford both views.
And a range in between. (The beauty of grey)
Most pro KCDers understand how much it would suck to not be able to play it. There IS a lot of empathy here.
The greatest noise generators use some crazy argument that it isnt the case… and justify going from thread to thread destroying a community for their shoet term -ill thought out- goal.
Where no one wins.
Suppose we should just stand around and let it happen.
Or we could be a adult- solution orientated and happiness focused.
Personally- a video game doesnt rule my life. Doesnt rule my thoughts and DOESNT have me throw away years of civil and civic duty that my grandparents instilled.
I also have the ability to control my lips and cease brain farts coming out.
But then I can delay gratification and can take responsibility for my lot in life. Apparently these are ‘advanced roleplay features for surviving society’.
In my parents day it was just called living.
