SE5 bad reviews and problems.

1. The hostility to those of us who are not thrilled with Se5 is real. I have almost stopped posting here because of it.

Again, I don't really see it... Who is being hostile? Where?

Just a quick example:

posted by RonGianti (in the amazon reciew thread):

Frightlever - You are acting like a real piece of trash. What is up with you people? A game with a couple bugs. you and your cronies come and complain. Fine, point taken. Bugs acknowleged. Patches on the way. Heres a list of work arounds.

But wait! We didn't sympathize enough! Unless people jump on your "lets burn this place down!" band wagon, then people are being "complete dicks"? How the Hell much hand holding do you and your cronies need?

You guys aren't going to be happy until there is a petition against SE5 and the boards close, and all the games are reacalled and Malfador and the developers are out of business because your game crashes and some features aren't available yet. And then, just as AT said, you'll move on and harass someone elses game.


Hostile enough? This post is about the third or so of Ron's that is openly hostile, that I've read since SE5 came out. I've also read posts by others that were either openly hostile, dismissive, or in the vein of 'I'm tired of complaints'. It's a shame too, before SE5 this was such a welcoming community, unfortunately, it doesn't feel that way anymore.

I don't recall that thread; can you link to it? Ok, so one or two newbies aren't acting like the rest of us... they will smooth over in time, I think.

Be careful to avoid doing the equivalent of say, calling Canadians rude because you met a drunk Elbonian tourist while visiting Alberta.

what are you trying to say????

Ah, that thread. Look at frightlever's post; he was, in fact, acting rather poorly. Ron's reply was a bit more heated than necessary, sure, but it was hostility towards a flaming post... It was not in response to a mature, civil complaint, but to hostile flaming. His view point certainly doesn't represent any sort of majority, though.

Ok, then blatantly.

Don't take random misbehaving new people to be representative of this forum.

sorry bad joke, i was trying to be the typical misinterpreting overreactor to a harmless statement =P

[StarShadow]

I disagree. The first sentence of Ron's post calling fright 'trash' was in response to his, in my opinion, over the top/derogatory remark about you and SJ. The rest of his post has to do with complaints by fright (and others, referenced as 'cronies') about SE5. If this kind of overt hostility is going to be written off as being a little too 'heated', or dismissed because it's a newbie being hostile and not someone with a large post count, than I doubt the much more frequent subtle negativity towards the people who aren't impressed by the current state of the game, will ever be acknowledged. In my opinion this is largely due to willful blindness.

So much imagined drama... Personally, I'd rather go back to discussing the game.
