WELL THEN WE WILL JUST HAVE TO AGREE TO DISAGREE.

SO THERE!

This is the most negative I have been in one chunk on a video game forum, possibly ever. I blame deeJ, as he said someone who can only be 3of9 told him that honest criticism is good for the community. It can be, but taking a dump on a game that you think is fairly good virtually exclusively is, IMO, not good. The negativity involved with honest criticism can become toxic to a community. Over at the subreddit, some people were shitting on Urk. They said he does zero work and is a bad guy. We all know Urk, and he seems nice. He does do stuff. They're shitting on Lukems, but not for his elitist attitude and its effect on the game, but his aloof personality. That's not cool. We don't do that, but the constant "ugh the grind is such bullshit" of last game and the "ugh there isn't enough grind" in this game can hurt.

We aren't just complaining, we at DBO usually have reasons for what we say, except Cody, and we spell them out. Bunglers read that and they know we are trying to talk about their game rationally.

All that being said, people don't like other negative people that often. It becomes a chore to slog through the negativity. It's why I limit my critical posts to, at most frequent, monthly complaints timed around updates, and never make my own thread, except when they killed Field Scout, which was so egregious I still can barely handle it. I can't believe they did that.

Anyway, we've mostly all said our piece on the subject. I hope the blog post gives us more discussion, but after we do that, maybe wait to continue crapping on what we all admit is a fairly good game until we get more info.
