Intiate self-deprecating yet vaguely insulting irony:


Its really hard to applaud with your face in the sand. Perhaps the enlightened ones with their faces turned from the earth to the heavens would care to share wisdom with us baseborn mortals?

I referance the following quotations:

1)"I have no objections to pay even 99$ for NEW ORIGINAL DESIGN AND NEW GRAPHICS ETC:."

How many games have had a new design? Heroes FIVE? Civ FOUR? Warcraft THREE? Dominions TWO?

This is the era of the sequel, whether you like it or not.

2) "Now, if you had set price for Dominion 3 to 49.95 $ same like HOMM 5 that is even then higher than HOMM 5 as retail outlets and web shops will have relatively smaller prices on HOMM5."

True enough. Dominions is also a better game. And, oddly enough, more original.

3) "Now what this have to do with Dominions 3 you may ask?"

I may ask it indeed. What does anything here posted have to do with this specific game? is it not a commentary on human falibility and dissatisfaction, shot through with oblique referances to a failing industry?

4 "I already have seen this kind of behaviour at Paradox Entertainent boards and Matrix boards. We can tell all our opinion in a civilized way"

My opinon, which I am entitled to hold and express according to the constitution of my nation and the rights accorded by the UN, is that the mass abuse of fans is just punishment for anyone that posts a thread like this in the dominons forums. I hold up before the jury as evidence the numerous insinuations and outright condescension exhibited in previous posts.

5) "Dominions 3 is SEQUEL, it is great game I am sure but it is a sequel. Even manual is not excuse to price it at 55$."

I reiterate the above: everything is a sequel. There is no such thig as an original anymore.


I dig my pit in the sand and ensconce my head firmly.

I hope you appreciate that that was a rather ill-concieved joke. You are fully free to express opinions, but doing so on this forum is tantamont to suicide. Much as I hate to be accused of hampering open debate, I submit that the above post was not entirely uncalled for, but that circumstances will compell others to mock it.
