<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That's funny, I find it overly idealistic to base your opinion of a game based on expectations derived from other games you have played. My opinions are clearly that of a realist, I have very few expectations and base my opinions primarily on my level of enjoyment while playing the game itself.

In any case, you contradict yourself far too much for me to believe you. You say you enjoy Starfury's genre and realise it's not a 4X game, yet in your initial post you call it a "nothing but a less action-packed, downgraded Version of SE4" and "...mutated half-attempt at graphic appeal". Sorry, I don't buy it for a second.

Starfury isn't the game for you, but that doesn't mean it's not the game for anyone.

It's cool, Mehrunes.

I didn't want to get into a philisophical debate on the merits of idealism or penmanship relative to quality gaming, but it is becoming such. The game simply doesn't work for me, and I'll deal with it. And if you think I was trying to convince you to change your mind, that really wasn't my intention at all.

I came to this Board to see what others were saying after playing the demo. If my negative comments help others decide, so be it - but everyone knows it is their decision to choose.

NutButter, you are always welcome to voice your opinion and IMHO you did in a reasonable manner. Just like you said, to each its own. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The voicing of opinions is part of the purpose of forums such as these. Opinions, either favorable to the game or otherwise, are valuable. They help those who are undecided to make up their minds and perhaps avoid making an unwise purchase. Everyone should feel free, and be encouraged, to voice their opinions.

As long as they arent like the first post of this topic I shall always respect your opinions

Oh yeah, and it is completely strange that the guy who done that post hasnt even been back to even defend his opinions or anything

If you arent willing to evn attempt to defnd your opinions or correct them if you later change your mind, then your opinions are null or void in my opinion

A troll is someone that registers on a forum wiht the express purpose of making an inflammatory post just to get lots of responses (and hopefully incite flame wars). Occasionally, an additional post or two along the way is needed to prod the trolling on, but most of the time, it is done so that the troll only ever has to make the initial post.

Though, it looks like this troll vastly underestimated the SE community. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Thats an understatement

After that post none of us were even at each others throat, we just expressed our opinions in a calm collective manner and backed up our thoughts and opinions

Hell I think we should thank this troll, this thread is already the 2nd highest posted in in the SF forum lol
