Re: Alien and Starship Games Fail. Realism (or low tech) is prefered.

Yeah, who am I to demand sense instead of vague rambling. *** off.

Yeah, he who vaguely rambles defines what the subject is while the
others play catch-up. *** off.

Yeah, you never intended this to be anything but vague rambling. ***
off.

Humanistic element = ? Teh vague rambling *** off.

>it is present

Examples. *** off.

Your argument is this: You feel that undefined games with an undefined
feel of undefined lowtechness is more undefinedly successful than
undefined games with an undefined sense of hightechness. In other
words, this thread is INTENTIONALLY pointless fluff. You have no proof
that your assertion is true, and you have not defined the subject
sufficiently for anyone to actually evaluate your point or even
understand wth it is.
So: *** off.

Than KOTOR and Halo. No, wait, they have that low-tech humanistic
feel, right? *** off.

>If you really want sales data about

Yeah, or even google for it. *** off.

>because not all of this information is publically available, and even

>Research it yourself.

Yeah, who am I to ask you to support your claims or even define what
the hell you're rambling about sufficiently well that anyone outside
your head can understand you. *** off.

Yeah, *that's* what I'm talking about - consoles! _*** OFF!_

Examples. *** off.

Moron. *** off.
