Another experimental thread....
In this thread we shall attempt to create a parody of the typical internet discussion.

=================

Not true, Y is better only you can't play it. X is for noobs and you are feth.

First of all Hawky, swearing just makes you look childish and secondly you're just salty about X.
Learn to play and then come back when you've actually got a valid opinon.

What Otto said. Only filthy casuls use Y. X allows a higher level of strategy.

Hey guys. What if they Y'd X? Like blow the world X is based on up? Then they could make a better ruleset for X.

Oh god, not this rubbish again! If they make X more like Y, we'll have idiots running around and screaming and making us hardcore Y fans look bad.

Now you're switching sides Selym! You said X was better than Y and yet now claim to be a hardcore Y fan!

I personally prefer X as previously stated but I just can't abide a turncoat.

Lets be honest though. X and Y is trash compared to Z.

Z has nothing to do with this, Warboss. You always try to bring Z up, in every discussion.

W, on the other hand, is very relevant and is vastly superior to Y, though if X lives up to the hype then I reckon it could give it a run for its money.

Wait, wat? You say that Z is irrelevant, but then bring up W? W has even less in common with X or Y than Z.

Clearly you haven't played X or Y.

OOC:

Conversational canon:
Spoiler:

Selym can't remember which side he's on.
Games being compared are X and Y.
Games W and Z are introduced as comparatives.
X's devs are considering making it more like Y.

Why should anyone waste his time with X ?
Thats not a game its just a collection of DLC nonsense.

Y otoH has this nice and well tought out totally new method of control: a trackball!

I'm going to go back a few posts and break down your stupid argument into tiny out of context pieces while being super defensive about liking X

You say that Z is irrelevant


That's cos it is, no arguing that one - nobody plays that gak anymore. Like literally nobody in the world. And I totally looked that up before I said this

but then bring up W?


I still play W, what's your point?

W has even less in common with X or Y than Z.


I've broken this down so much that I can't see your point anymore

Clearly you haven't played X or Y.


I played X and Y before they became mainstream; yadeyadeyada I know best about these things yadeyadaya you just don't understand blablabla NOT A HIPSTER SHUT UP

X has the nostalgia factor that y can never replicate. I've been playing x since the 60's, with the same models I bought for 25p each. Everything since then has been over priced and over powered. Y just looks like a cartoon parody of x.

Y is PC gaming master race game! Superior gameplay, superior graphics, mod support and also Gaben.
X was made for console-peasants and it's port to PC is very bad. It's graphics were downgraded, controlls are super-simple and the game is not able to fulfill its true potential.

Forget all computer game versions of X and Y, they aren't the base fluff, the base models, the base gaming system.
To compare the two, you compare the tabletop versions not the Computer Games based on them.

Would it be fair to compare the Star Wars vs Star Trek universes purely on their Computer Games? No. So don't do it with X and Y.

But the driving force between X and Y's video games have been much more powerful than SW and ST. Just saying as well, this is between X and Y only, so don't bring any other series into it. Unless its W. Or Z.

This thread has devolved into a flame war.
I call for moderators to lock it down.

Unfortunately the matter of X versus Y cannot be resolved in a civil manner.
