Link to original post: [drupal=5431]What's the deal?[/drupal]
I've been on the boards for a year or two now and one of the things I see most often across all threads are melee vs. brawl arguments. I know it, i've been a part of a few of these myself (and as i've stated before, to defend myself, I argue that both games have their benefits, etc.). What bothers me is that these just up and happen anywhere, anytime. It takes one flamer or even a troll and the troops come in to flame each other for the game they prefer.
One of the biggest things I should say here before I make my point is that I know not everyone does this. Trust me, I know people from both sides that are truly stunning people and wouldn't fight about this if it was the last thing on earth. What i'm talking about here is a minority. So don't worry, I know that many people who play either game are fine to just have fun playing those games.
It bugs me that this happens quite a bit though, even with that minority. Where is our bond? I don't go on other forums much but do other series have these arguments on their games? Why do we fight each other about this? I see people tearing each other to shreds because they find Brawl fun or they find Melee fun and it's actually really depressing. This doesn't feel like the way the community should work. What's going on?
To me all it seems to be is immaturity. People either want to boost their game and put the other down or something and it leads to flame wars. I mean what the heck? Melee is very technical and faster paced. Brawl is slower and more floaty. Why can't these two co-exist? What is the person's problem with the other one. They're the same series. We should be sticking up for each other, not having pointless arguments on the legitimacy of a series that is often called out on by other gamers as not even being a fighter. Focus on that. Better, just play the darn games. Have fun. Don't stop other people having fun.
condensed version: Melee vs. Brawl arguments are stupid. Go do something else rather than spark that debate over and over. Play the game or go do something in RL but don't bring the idiocy in here.
Phew! Alright. I needed to get that out of my bones. Been working me up for ages. I hope someone sees what i'm saying.
Anyway, is it a legitimate argument? Am I going crazy? I know we are entitled to our own opinions but must this start up all the time? Or am I just in the wrong? It all feels so messed up. >.<
