3. If you have not been playing since the earliest MUD, you lack the experience to opine on almost any subject.
2. If you are in any way critical of The Secret World, you are clearly too stupid to understand the quests.
1. If you are in any way critical of Star Citizen you are clearly part of a grand conspiracy to destroy CIG through slander and innuendo penned by your exalted leader, Derek Smart.

1. you have no idea whatsoever what the game is like until you have played it and preferably all the way to the end.
2. when I run out of arguments I will just randomly say you are derailing.

#2 Anything that I can do that you can't do, have not yet done or don't want to do means you are a stupid failure at gaming and also in life in general.
#3 Anything you say that I disagree with is you whining.
#4 Anything you think should be changed in a game is you wanting dumbed down ez mode.
#5 Cry more noob. Not in response to anything specific you have said. Just because it's fun to say cry more noob.

2. Link given.... so attack the source.
3. If you in any way defend ANYTHING, even if you've given logical reasoning, you're a "fanboi" or "White Knight"

2. Boast about not spending any money in any MMO for years and some months while confidently sure he doesn't need psychiatrist help.
When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.

2. A fact is not important because it doesn't support my opinion
I feel it should =P
This have been a good conversation
1. You are wrong.
I'll wait to the day's end when the moon is high
And then I'll rise with the tide with a lust for life, I'll
Amass an army, and we'll harness a horde
And then we'll limp across the land until we stand at the shore
For every minute you are angry , you lose 60 seconds of happiness."-Emerson

I would prefer to see: I prefer this game mechanic. Also, saying your game mechanic is different rather than better.

-You know nothing about the game until you tried it (like sticking a fork in your eye, how do you know it hurts!)
-if its not a mainstream mega hit then its a failure.
-your derailing
-what you post is not a fact but an opinion but what I post without proof is a fact and not an opinion
-when a prediction you make ends up being correct I will go out of my way to make sure I never admit you were right

Straw man doesn't mean what you seem to think it means.
It's not a catch-all phrase for every type of cliched argument or logical fallacy. It's one particular type of low brow debating gimmick where you attribute an easily-defeated imaginary argument to your opponent so you can defeat it easily.
It IS frequently used in these forums, just not in this thread

The new cool thing to do is to promote Indie games endlessly while bashing the triple A titles that generate the most money for the industry.
