Anyway, when you post a comment, you *should* always ask yourself this question: "Would I say this to a friend?" If not, tone it down, won't you?
If I didn't speak up while one of my friends worked on something that turned out to be garbage for months and kept going at it because people around him were overly supportive rather than critical, I'd blame myself.
Everyone gets a gold star for effort is suitable for kindergarten. Beyond that point, it breeds mediocrity and turns people into underachievers.
You only need to look at the "counterpoints" people who praise Brutal Doom offer to criticism. You tell them the blood is done poorly and they tell you you're a pussy afraid of blood. You tell them the guns are too loud and they tell you you dislike loud guns because you're an old man. There's no need to be a rocket scientist to see we have a great amount of people who can't grasp relativity, people mistaking quantity for quality, or worse, people for whom quality is such a strange notion they can't even comprehend any criticism focusing on that, hence unrelated answers to various points.
Now why is that? Because of those who think like you do, rewarding crap with praise, enabling and condoning what is happening here. Many Brutal Doom supporters, seeing they had no answer for some arguments, started getting desesperate and throwing the hater word as a get out of jail free card (FYI: does not work. It's just as good as an admission of impotence). Ultimately, Brutal Doom is just a poorly done mod for a video game - personally, I hold no hard feelings against anyone genuinely liking this. If you have shit tastes, it doesn't hurt me any. But people like you, kb1? People who actively work towards making everyone else a worse person? Here there is hate alright.
