Leatra mind pointing out where the heck you got flamed? I just searched. The only time I saw anyone talking about the actual snow, you weren't even remotely flamed. Pretty much nobody disagreed with you at all.
It's around 300 pages earlier. Maybe more. It kept going on for one and a half page if I remember right.
First reply to my post was, someone quoted my post and changed it into something similiar to this and added his reply to my changed quote:
Hello. I'm here to talk shit about this game and get going.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out
Then replies kept coming. It was like people were crusading for Skyrim and people took it personal. Then guess what? 200-300 pages after, people criticised the exact same things I criticised. Illusion doesn't last long I guess. The whole argument ended when I asked someone I was arguing to stop if it's going to get personal.
I don't recall anyone ever directly telling you to shut up, denying the game had problems outright, or otherwise. So I don't think you need to take people liking the game as a personal attack somehow.
That was sarcastical. Nobody told me to shut up but they pretty much meant it. I take it as a personal attack when people tell me to "get away from the keyboard" when I criticise a game. You might not like the game, I don't care. I just want to talk about the game.
You know Leatra, I've been reading this topic since it was pretty much posted, and I have to say. There's a fine line between having constructive criticism and just trying to defend your position of somehow being ostracized for not liking the game.
It was like talking about DF to a CoD fanboy. Everybody was in love with the game and nobody listened to me. I had to defend my position as a someone who isn't liking the game first. Honestly, I also got mad at "you don't like the game? THIS CONSERVATION IS OVER" attitude (again, sarcasm) Also, I was criticising graphics and just because I said "gameplay>graphics for me" in one sentence, people were all like "you don't mind bad graphics but you still talk about them. Your opinions on this game cancels each other out" Then I had to explain the crazy graphics hype of this game, how I hate companies which never keeps their promises (I posted a link of Bethesda's lies about Oblivion before release date too), etc. People were simply trying to find loopholes in my posts to criticise me rather than thinking about them. Textures are low res and snow is crappy. Is it too difficult to accept that? You can argue about level system and quests and I respect that. It's a different tastes for different people thing.
Now I don't know if this is a personal problem, or a language or sarcasm problem. But at the very least I'd recommend taking a step back before you post in topics about games (Since I do notice, you tread the line between bringing up actual problems and flaming VERY closely in non indie game topics) and asking yourself "How is someone going to read this".
Thanks for your recommendation. The weird thing is it only happened in this thread and I get a feeling it's going keep going again on this thread, because of someone who has no idea about what happened when I was criticising it (actually, I don't even remember myself). I guess Skyrim is a cursed game for me. No wonder I still have Morrowind installed and Skyrim crashes every time since the last update. I'll ignore this thread from now on.
