Calm down, no need to get fussy over this video game. I said I only disagree that Reach being "OMG BEST GAME" or "fantastic" game. No, you did not. You said that its storyline was cliche and the multiplayer is "much worse." That's VERY different than saying that you don't believe it was a great game. Nor has anyone said that Reach is, quote, "OMG BEST GAME". I said I enjoyed it more than the original Halo trilogy, but that is NOT equivalent to a trollish, internet-slang-ridden statement.
Any six year old can write actual storyline that is much, much more better than Reach's storyline. Again, this is NOT a premise to an argument. It's a statement without basis. Your opinions cannot, and will not be taken seriously unless you take the time and energy to support them with evidence. And, as I said before, if you think you can do better, then do it. You can't simply dismiss a call-out by saying "Well, anybody could do it." That's a cop-out, and a painfully transparent one, at that.
Besides, I'm only going to mention one thing about storyline is that it broke the Halo universe's canonical information. Then that is NOT a cliche. That's a personal distaste for the retcon which has occurred between Fall Of Reach and the game, and that's what you should have said. Don't try to argue that something is "cliche," the word YOU USED, when what you really mean is that it altered the existing storyline.
Mutliplayer is horribly unbalanced. Armor Abilities and designs of maps are abysmally terrible. I don't feel the same, but this isn't an opinion I can make a riposte to, because it's so intimately linked to personal experience. So I'll give you that one.
And, I said it is my opinion. Where I did imply that I was applying to everything? No, I did not do such thing as you claimed. You need to prove that I said like that which I certainly did not. And as I said, I am ARGUING that opinion. That's what we do here. We discuss things. If all you want to do is state your opinion without having to defend it, go hang out in The Flood with all the ________ Vs. ________ threads and the "Post a _______ for the person below you" threads. If you can't stand behind your opinion and put forth a decent argument for it, supported by premises and evidence, then it's probably not an opinion worth defending in the first place.
Additionally, never did I say that you were putting forth anything but an opinion. You seem to be taking the fact that I'm attempting to argue your opinion as somehow saying that you were trying to pawn said opinion off as fact. That would be patently ridiculous, because facts are, by definition, FACTS. You can't argue facts. Opinions, on the other hand, can and should be argued.
Please, read my post again to prevent any possible embarrassment to yourself due to lack of reading comprehensions. Oh, I read your post quite carefully. Perhaps you should read mine more carefully. I am attempting to have a calm, rational argument with you, which, as I said, is what these forums are for (in part). You seem to be taking that fact as a reason to get defensive, hiding behind the word "opinion" as though somehow these are sacred or inviolable. If you don't want or expect to be questioned on the things you say, then you should not say them.
As an addendum: I can tell by the way you write that you're not a native English speaker, so I'm not going to zing you for the grammar issues, but I would suggest that you do not question my comprehension abilities when you don't have a complete grasp of the language yourself. It makes your condescension come off as delusional. And hilarious.
