Goodness... odd that a game like this could be so divisive...

It's actually not surprising at all that a franchise being rebooted by a different team of people would be divisive amongst the fans who are old-school KQ only, and those who love all things KQ and are just happy to be getting more stories. Reminds me of the Star Trek reboot, wherein all the old-school Trekkies were up in arms about JJ Abrams "ruining Star Trek forever" and the rest of the world was just happy to finally have Star Trek films that didn't suck. Check out Damar's pissy posts on the new Star Trek movies on this forum, they're a goldmine of comedy.

Yeah but the new Star Trek movies actually did suck. Zachary Quinto looks goddamn constipated as Spock, the movies are nothing but dumb, dumbed down, generic action sci-fi films. Basically Abrams turned Star Trek into a less charming version of Star Wars. Seriously, while I don't really like TNG at all, the original cast movies were all great with the exception of 1 and 5, and 5 was only "so-so" IMO.

As to the new KQ: Put bluntly, it sucks and killed my interest in King's Quest. I have no desire to see other "Quest" series similarly raped. And that's all these stupid reboots/reimaginings do, be of game or movie series.

What's happened to you, my friend?  :(

Oh really? Then why do the new movies have higher Metacritic scores than the rest? Because, in your words, they "sucked?" The more people I see who complain about them, the more I realize that old-school Trekkies are a bunch of autistic c*nts who can't wrap their tiny brains around the fact that the new Star Trek is telling new stories better than what they grew up with. So go on Rock Knight, keeping bashing the only Star Trek movies that weren't complete garbage. You'll only be proving me right.

This goes to you too, Birdy. No one cares what you think. About anything. You're a nobody. Neither you nor Rock Knight deserve to be taken seriously, let alone have Internet connections. Both of you retire to your closets and think about the fact that you've made asses out of yourself on the Internet in front of thousands of people.

If I get banned for this post, then so be it. I'm simply saying it how it is.

Why? Because we live in a culturally vapid and utterly unimaginative age where the most successful and critically acclaimed movies nowadays are dumb action movies and stupid, soulless reboots, so J.J.'s Trek movies fit in well with a very undemanding and easily satisfied audience who only needs explosions and Benedict Cumberb*tch to sell a film. You want to see a good Khan? Go watch Space Seed, I'll take that any day over Cumberb*tch playing the lovechild of Snape and Hans Gruber. I mean, we live in a time period where Avatar is the highest grossing movie of all time. Avatar has the same Metacritic average as the 2009 Star Trek. We live in an age where Jurassic World was praised, when really, it would've been an average summer movie had it come out in the 1990s. We live in a time where despite their rampart suckiness, the new Hobbit movies were box office successes. The only reboot series that really knocked it out of the park in terms of quality were Nolan's Batman films.

As I said, Rock Knight, you're proving my point. By the way, stop trying to sound educated when you clearly dropped out of high school.

And mods, if you would be so kind as to lock this thread, as it is filled with nothing but arrogant loud-mouthed pond scum...?

Seriously, lock it. Ban us all, I don't give a sh*t. And nothing of value will be lost.

You're the one coming off as a child here. By disagreeing with you, I'm somehow proving your point? Are you having a mental breakdown dude?

I actually completed high school with a diploma....

Do you have that big of a crush on Benedict Cumberbatch that I'm not free to dislike the mediocre Star Trek film he was in?

GrahamRocks!

THAT'S ENOUGH!!!!!!!! BOTH OF YOU GET A GRIP ON YOURSELVES!!!  >:( :argue: :smack:


Birdy

I didn't mean to make anyone angry... I'm sorry. If you want me to leave, I will.

GrahamRocks!

It's not your fault, Birdy. :( We're getting off topic again, guys! Blow off your steam PLEASE!

This is meant to be a friendly forum. Right now, you two aren't really meeting those standards. Take a breather, both of you.

Well...last night was kind of embarrassing.
I have no mouth, and I must scream.

Birdy

For who?

Seriously, I'll stop posting if I'm bugging anyone.

GrahamRocks!

I highly doubt that, Birdy. We all have our bad days.

You okay, Numbers? I mean that sincerely.

Jack Stryker

You are blameless, Birdy. 

It's just those two, moreso Rock Knight, who are creating a lot of unnecessary drama, when they could easily just choose not to play the game and to stop talking about it.  I'm not a fan of Splatoon, but you don't see me ranting and raving about how much it sucks.  I just don't talk about it.  That's all you have to do.  Just ignore the thread and post in threads that are related to things you are interested in.

GrahamRocks!

Not much to talk about in terms of the new game at the moment, really. Only so much you can say about a 30 second teaser.

I got some theories though! :)

Numbers

Yes, I was having a mental breakdown. Sorry you had to see that.
I have no mouth, and I must scream.

GrahamRocks!

I feel bad for you, man. I hope you're feeling better now.

I hope Rock Knight is too. I want my friend back.

I forgot to take a pill that wards off anxiety, panic and rage attacks, so here we are.

And Rock Knight, we're just going to have to agree to disagree...on several things.

Speaking of Splatoon, this is an excellent review of the game that tells you everything you need to know about it:



Seriously, look at this video on YouTube proper and check out that dislike bar.

GrahamRocks!

I guess I can agree to disagree on stuff too.

Also, I'm helping out on TV Tropes with the KQ2015 article!

Make sure to add a "Vocal Minority" entry on the YMMV page.
