The rest of your post is meaningless as I have responded to every point you've made already.

This has nothing to do with people liking or disliking MW:DA, it has to do with people using their opinion(s) of MW:DA as a reason to hate a CBT product.



Actually all you did was throw old arguements back at me.

And you missed my piont clear since you seem set on the idea that they are attacking MWDA as an intrustion on CBT, maybe it's you who need to go back read the reviews again.

My point was this, know how folks react and knowing that the MWDA vs CBT issue and how the two cross over or not is a very flameable issue why even bring it up again?

I am asking because so far all I have seen is you defend a point that because they didn't like it for what ever reason, they are wrong for those reasons, so how does that make for anything but an arguement? You seem to want to discuss the product but picked the negative reviews to do so. I am asking why?

Nice...and I thought all were entitled to their own opinions of both games and how DA bleeds back into CBT



We are entitled to our opinions. Chihawk is entitled to his, and he shared it. Why is it that whenever somebody in an administrative position takes a member to task over their opinion, at least one person (usually the same person each time) cries about people not being able to share their opinion?

If the administrative person didn't want the opinion to be shared, you'd see posts disappear. If you see an administrative person post their opinion, IT IS JUST THEIR OPINION!!!!! They are also posters, they are entitled to post their opinions as well.

Both blame Wizkids. This is a Fanpro product. What point can you possible make that can be missed?

Gee, if it was really such an issue why did you bother to reply to my post?

Actually, we know the answer--because you wish to be the guy at the forefront of defending anyone that hates what TPTB have done.

I am not discussing the product, I am discussing their reviews of the product. As I noted at least twice in this thread I agree that the product was terrible (I think I even used the word "sucked"), I disagree with their assessment that Wizkids had anything to do with that.

And for the record, there are no truly "positive" reviews of that product in that section.

kinda late but i believe everyone is entitled to their say.

The reviewers might sound really harsh, but it his opinion. No one else should absolutely slam someone no matter how outrageous or illogical his opinion is.

1 man's meat is another man's poison. I for one with never touch MW:DA with a 20 footpole. The moment i saw the DA atlas, i knew MW:DA will NEVER EVER be my cup of tea.

Yes. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. However, if you are going to give a review of something, you should state what it is and WHY you do/don't like it. Not simply saying 'it sucked' or even 'it's great'. A review should help tell another person what it is and/or it's usefulness. Just saying it's good or bad doesn't really rate as a very good review if they don't explain why they thought that. But of course that is just MY opinion.

Gawd, what a minefield.
People keep wanting to compare the MWDA stuff to the CBT material. Lots of luck guys, but its comparing oranges to tangerines. Close, but not quite. Wizkids bent an odd rule or two to make their DA mechs. When you fudge something like that, youre never going to get an accurate 'translation' into hard and fast rules.
Personally, I like the 'quickplay' set up of the clickymechs, but that still doesnt appease my sense of them turning a game like chess into a coin toss.
And youre right, these are just everyones opinions, no matter how heavy-handed, stubborn, or 'stoopid' they may seem
I might get the RS:DA just to see what all is in there, to satisfy my curiosity. If the mechs are worth while, I might use them. If they dont amaze me, well, I suppose theres always eBay.
Im not trying to twist anyones nose here, this is all just one persons opinion. (Theres that word again...)
