I think we're just gonna have to disagree on this.

"For one, there is no level of context."

Check out my response to the other guy who kind of said the same thing as you.

"For example: "I've never eaten at McDonald's, but I hear their food is fucking to die for, and that you should go buy a value meal today!""

Okay people, calm down. Here's why they have people who haven't played the game here:

Well, I think what they're doing is having someone in there like you and I (in this case, it's Bash: I trust Totilo's experience and journalistic bona-fides (sp?) enough to accept his opinion, which is based on observation). See, I'm like Bash here: I know pretty much nothing about the game, but I have to make a…

I know, right?

Okay, I feel you, but I think what you said there is that CoD has the most players. That's true, but it didn't and doesn't change anything about; "how people around the world play online shooters." It just means there's more of them. I mean, Lou Bega had numbers, too. No offense, of course!

I became addicted to mushrooms after playing Super Mario Brothers as a child.

"...you think the world's most popular console shooters (and maybe PC, I don't know) are only doing one thing right, making teens enlist?"

Yeah, I gotta say, I'm a fan of neither, but I did pick up BF3 and I've played the sh*t out of CoD4 and BFBC2. Anyways, I don't really think there's any excuse for how DICE took a sh*t with their clothes on with this. I mean, sure, gaming and multiplayer gaming is very technically difficult to develop, but BF3 wasn't…

Yeah, man, I hear ya. I mean, I don't know what you're talking about, but I know what it's like trying to get it.

I gave an opinion on Uncharted 2 a little while ago that wasn't favorable in the comments section. I was INSTANTLY shit on by little children. I was called a troll, an idiot, and only one of the several responses actually responded to anything I said in my post.

OMIGOD

And a cookie from me, as well!

Gotta ask, when Crecente reviewed BF3, how much weight did he give to the technical issues? I mean, chances are that they'll be fixed in the coming weeks, so I'm wondering how he was looking at it, how much it affected his review (which I read and enjoyed, btw, but I still feel I need a little clarification on the…

Well, now I know why YOU have a star.

Neat.
