Criticism of Games

[The Man]

These are message boards and they are meant for sharing one's opinions and views. This is all very well... to an extent. The problem is that recently, I've seen a lot of so-called "criticism" that goes something like this:

A pastiche of many posts I've seen on EoFF lately
FF[number] sux hard and the main character is gay, he looks like a monkey/freak/gay/idiot/asshole/alien/physcho/lunatic/retard and he couldn't get in a girl's pants even if he tried harder than the villain tries to destroy the world. He looks super-lame when he tries to wield his sword, and it's a miracle that the world managed to get saved at all with such a moron at the helm of the heroes' party. What a faggot.

Only usually, it doesn't even come out sounding that intelligent, and that sounds pretty dumb, don't you think?

I, for one, feel that posts like that need to stop. Voicing your opinion is fine, but it should at least be done intelligently, and lately, I have seen far too much criticism that doesn't involve such intelligence. A lot of people really love some of these games, else they wouldn't be at these boards, and I know how much it hurts when people just give those games such a cold shoulder. I think something needs to be done about this.

Heck, I'd even go so far as to support a movement to declare them spam or flame-bait topics. I think all threads that start out like this one (whose original post was something like "is anyone like me and think ff9 sux and it's the worst game for psone. especially zidane, he sucks, looks gay, is so dumb, and wears gay close. i hate ff9," reportedly, and I believe it could be given to us verbatim by one of the staff) should be closed. In fact, I wouldn't mind seeing it made an offense, punishable by staff PM warning and, if the pattern continues, subsequent banning, to continually bash games in such a manner. We just don't need that kind of thing to be done.

Who's with me?

Peace
The Man
