Mw2 - Dedicated Servers - aIW

[Drofder2004]

Without even reading your point I laughed.

Lets just keep it simple.

I said "There will be paid DLC on steam for Valve games"
You said "Not gonna happen".
and it happened.
I said "I told you so".


And the taste in games here is the same as the taste in food, varied.
You have an OPINION and NOTHING MORE and my taste in games is not relevant to your argument.

In the definition of DLC we were discussing when I made that statement we were referring to DLCs such as the ones MW2, Fallout, Mass Effect, etc have done. So no, your point isn't flawless, just like your arguments (I know that that is probably impossible for you to accept). You took it out of context and made an entire topic about it, looking like a complete dick. I may have been a dick about MW2, but I had the better interests of the gaming community in mind, you just wanted to be a gloating pile of shit. There's no point in arguing that anymore as you technically have evidence, and you'll never accept any of my explanations or reasoning as valid.

As for taste in games, let me clarify. When I say 'taste in games', I mean the quality (balancing), response to community, features in comparison to the rest of current games, and the amount of new things it does. Those are all objective qualities, those can all be measured, and MW2 had absolutely none of those. BO is hardly better, you don't need any more evidence than the fact that they are bringing back and promoting the zombie mode, a completely irrelevant bonus feature that turned out to be the only decent thing in WaW, and something which had absolutely nothing to do with CoD. Go eat your shitty fast food, I'll stick with quality food from quality restaurants and just hope that the money you're throwing away on all that shit quality doesn't perpetrate even further into the decent side of the industry, making all of our food MSG filled shit in the future.

The majority of their customers (I would imagine even yourself) would happily part with £1/$2 to buy an extra map on L4D2 or extra weapons in TF2.

I was pretty specific yes.

I think it may have been you who mistook it for being otu of context. I was quite clear of my predictions, as I have just quoted from the original statement.

I may have been a dick about MW2, but I had the better interests of the gaming community in mind, you just wanted to be a gloating pile of shit.

If anything, I wanted to be a gloating stack of gold stars, but I see your point.

There's no point in arguing that anymore as you technically have evidence, and you'll never accept any of my explanations or reasoning as valid.

I fully accept your reasoning, but my predictions were right. Its you who continues to try and prove my prediction wrong by pointing out exceptions of "it can be free" and "you don't have to buy it", which I have never suggested was going to be the scenario.

As for taste in games, let me clarify. When I say 'taste in games', I mean the quality (balancing), response to community, features in comparison to the rest of current games, and the amount of new things it does. Those are all objective qualities, those can all be measured, and MW2 had absolutely none of those.

Although I agree, this is still an opinion. You cannot be the person who judges what is considered good taste. Some people couldn't give a shit about community support and extra features.

BO is hardly better, you don't need any more evidence than the fact that they are bringing back and promoting the zombie mode, a completely irrelevant bonus feature that turned out to be the only decent thing in WaW, and something which had absolutely nothing to do with CoD.

Yes, it may not be better than MW2, but i'm bored of playing the same shitty games over and over, its time for a new shitty game.

Go eat your shitty fast food, I'll stick with quality food from quality restaurants and just hope that the money you're throwing away on all that shit quality doesn't perpetrate even further into the decent side of the industry, making all of our food MSG filled shit in the future.

I encourage you to do that, but beware, my fast food company has invited your quality chef over for lunch, and I think he may like the food.
(Mmm, food based metaphors).

I enjoyed MW2

Fair enough, general miscommunication.

I doubt that will happen, my chefs make good food because they enjoy doing it, as well as for the money. It's more than a job for them.

Yeh, but your chef can't resist my offer of a bargain bucket containing offcut meat to sell to the customers who haven't quite got the taste buds for the difference in quality.

(New forum rules, all arguments must be settled by metaphorical language only)

My chef doesn't care because his salary doesn't change based on what kind of food he makes. Plus, since his boss already has all the money he wants and also is a strong advocate of high quality food, he won't be swayed by fast food either. He has no reason to be, he wants to make high quality food and enjoys doing so. Also, I might sound like a high quality food fanboy here, but it's my opinion that the reason a restaurant would start selling various recipes is actually more to encourage new and innovative recipes. Since the people who create those recipes get a portion of the profit, it is a fantastic way for up and coming chefs to start getting their food out there and being financially recognized while doing so. To my knowledge, there is no other restaurant that supports its recipe community to the extent that it actually has a way of paying them for doing it.
