Carmack fanboy or something? :p
This... Is a good example of what's wrong with 'society' or our 'culture' today...
It's ok for people to have different opinions... It's ok for people to argue the merit of their opinions...
There's no need for people to take it personally, when someone else has a different opinion/view of a situation. You don't need to try and dismiss/disregard other people by convincing yourself they're 'fanboi's, work for the company you're hating on, or call it whining/QQ/etc, or alts of Derek Smart... (I apologize if that gets him in this thread).
I personally think some people's opinions on Blues, over the last 10 ish years I've been coming here, are insane... I can't relate, but I also realize that I don't have to agree, or even understand their point, to know it's valid : )
As for the original Deus Ex... I enjoyed some of it... But I didn't think it was the crazy-good game with an amazing system that seemed to be the popular view at the time... Having 'grown up' with games like the original System Shock, perhaps I was just expecting more... Though, 'to be honest', any time something is hyped, I expect more, and usually end up disappointed... (I sat in the theatre for nearly 2 hours WAITING for the scary part of The Blair Witch Project... The only major emotion that movie evoked, was a sense of longing for camping).
Anyhow... nearly done ranting...
In the end, my point isn't, that you should hug your neighbor (or fellow poster)... Instead, argue with them... But do it with a little more self respect/confidence/what-have-you... : )
