All opinions are equal

Not open for further replies.
All opinions are equal, but some are more equal than others? Opinions are not facts, and can be disproven BY facts, so yeah all opinions are equal in the sense that they aren't true. Not one opinion can be 'more equal' than another. It can be more correct than the other, but not more equal. I think respect is needed in any Forum, or everything falls apart. I always listen to what people have to say, or say in response to me and reply in a manner that isn't aggressive. There's no reason to attack each other over something stupid.

Ah, that was a reference to the book Animal Farm by George Orwell.
 
Oh, I see. I actually have never read that. xD Which is strange because I read a lot of things. I've always wanted to though, since I never got the chance to in school.

What I think we need is a forum for people who don't like DmC, and people who do. Then there'd be no more of this kind of thing. Most people don't seem to be emotionally or intellectually equipped to disagree with someone without using the word "fag" or pretending they're in charge of the internet, one way or the other.

How can anyone like or dislike this game? Unless I've missed the new trailers, demo and all the extensive new info Capcom has decided to bless us with, all we've got is a trailer!

I agree that no one should be calling anyone else or anything related to the game "gay," but that, being the usage of terms specific to a rather-marginalized group of people to describe something you don't like, is another issue entirely. People don't like change. That's not new, and who cares? What everyone else needs to understand is that there are going to be newbies to this forum and this game series everyday, which is good and certainly much better than none, and they're going to have a lot of newbie issues to talk about. Such as how effin' "gay and emo" the new Donte is.

At that, you can agree. Yay, good for you! Or you can disagree. Also, yay, good for you! Nothing needs to change on this forum; there's plenty of space for both.

Personally, I'm going to start disliking this game real soon if Capcom doesn't give me some more tasty morsels to consider. I go away for weeks on end hoping something new will happen only to be disappointed time and again. Boo.

Easily, if you hate the trailer, you hate the game. I do.

I can only judge by the information given to me, and the trailer and interviews with Capcom and NT makes me hate the game.

Which is a fine book by the way. But all opinions are equal, people who can back up their opinions with game text and etc have a stronger base for their opinion, but all in all everyones opinion is valid. People shouldn't get blasted for their opinions, you Internet bullies back off or suffer the wrath of a "boot to the head!" Lol ^_^ But really people be nice, were all a family here untied under a video game about demons.... That does not sound right lol. ^_^

Well when I say people like or dislike the game, what we're talking about at this stage is the evidence we have of the game, which is the trailer. But as more information comes out, I'm sure we'll see two camps of people based on more than just the trailer. People are ****ed off already - and we only have a few seconds of non-gameplay. Wait until we see the game, it will get much worse. Okay, maybe it will unite us, but I really doubt it.

They used to deal with it like this on the official Lost forum - threads for hating the show and threads for praise. It helped to numb the arguments, since if you wanted to complain with like-minded people, there was somewhere to vent, without getting on the nerves of fans. If you don't do this, then pretty much every thread will have an argument in it. Think of it like a toilet. If you don't have one, crap goes everywhere. If you do have one, then everyone can take turns pooping in it, and everyone feels better for it.

Arguments are going to happen regardless. There were threads like that set up in the past, but people with opposing view points would go into those threads away. People just need to exercise some self control and not get all worked up over someone disagreeing with them over a trailer.

If you really think separate threads should happen then why not talk to the staff about it? Mr. Drakan is on quite a bit and he's got lots of experience with forums. I'm sure he'd know what to do. ^^
 
Yeah it wouldn't reduce arguments to zero, it didn't on the Lost forum that's for sure. But I am sure it helped reduce it, because without that divide, everyone is posting in the same place.

Also it is easier to moderate a forum when there are clear rules like that - you can see who is making an ass out of themselves, by posting in the wrong section just to cause trouble. Whereas, if there are no clear sections, then it seems more defensible to argue back and forth in a thread, since there's nowhere else to vent anyway, and harder to point the finger at trouble makers.

I guess I could contact Drakan - but I don't know if anyone else would like it that way besides me, and the forum should serve everyone's best interest
 
I think Meg tried that by making the "let It out, People" but the problem with that was that she said that both sides can use the thread to voice their opinions which lead to it becoming another fight thread.

I dont know if two seperate forums would help but we can always give it a shot.

Actually I made the thread for people who don't like the game to vent, but then the problems of making a one sided thread were pointed out to me, so I changed it to allow all opinions. Even before I changed it, people who did support the game were still posting in the tread anyway.
 
Well when you have two sections, it's easy to moderate those people who are breaking the rules, and even their posts can be deleted or moved until people get the message that you must stay in the right place.
 
I don't think that's such a good idea. Doing that, we're numbing each other to the other side. Humans have been pushing away annoyances for so long that by the time they actually do have to put up with an annoying person, they don't know how to deal with it. So I think that it should stay as one forum, and everyone should learn to get along instead of separating everyone.
 
And nothing is going to happen if no one who wants the forums to get split doesn't ask the staff about it first. >.> All the talk in this thread is getting us nowhere. If you really want to see it happen, then you got to talk about it to Mr. Drakan. You can even just post it in the Ask the Staff Anything thread.
