I don't think people get all puffed up because someone says one game is better than the other, it's when they lie or spread bullshit. Using your example, it would go something like this:
Pepsi is 10x better than Coke because Coke has mercury in it.
Pepsi is 10x better than Coke because Coke is made by Nazi baby killers.
Some people get upset when you just say "A is better than B," but I think it's what goes along with the statement that usually drives all the back and forths that happen.

This.
Its great for everybody to have their own ideas and likings, but the problem comes wen people star to spread shit about things they dont know (or do know) only to make people angry and missinform others.

This is exactly what REALLY happens in these forums. So in response to the think for yourselves statement. How about we get people to actually GROW UP, QUIT LYING ABOUT THE GAME YOU DON'T WANT OR WILL NEVER BUY.
What gets me the most about how these people are? They've recently been using a new tactic to not get caught immediately being a monster-under-the-bridge by using two tactics. They post a positive (something we all know is not true by reading the rest of what they've posted, which usually contains at least two of these phrases Hype, P2W) like "i really liked this game but" "i really wanted this game at first but" or they post in forums that have nothing to do with the game they are commenting on.
If you're going to do illegal posting be a man and accept the ban. Seriously.
Pshaw...sure, drink Coke or Pepsi if you want to be led by the nose as to what drink you drink. A true drink lets to create whatever drink you want in a living breathing drink world....
this is the whole basis on which advertising was founded.
maybe i misunderstand your motive here but, i dont' think making a post here will change that. or do you truly believe many of us are going through our lives just doing everything we are told without question and that you telling us to stop will snap us out of it?

Exactly. I could give a flying frick if someone doesnt like my MMO of choice but I do not like when they make crap up for partisan differences. To be truthfully honest theres a whole lot of "making crap up" about a certain game.
Playing: GW2 Waiting on: TESO Next Flop: Planetside 2 Best MMO of all time: Asheron's Call - The first company to recreate AC will be the next greatest MMO.
And I agree. In my opinion, your point even extends to those "Which should I buy and why?" or "Convince me to buy game X" threads that pop up every once in a while...
I miss Pepsi Blue...thanks for keeping this topic civil and realizing I wasn't really being an ass, just posting an eye opener based on the 10,000 threads using phrases like
"Are you worried, huh huh are you worried"... about what??
People holding that their preferences and opinions are facts.
You can like things that are terrible, and dislike things that are good. It does help to be able to tell the difference.
Oh my favorite comparison, because I thought of it myself while talking to my wife about our MMOs. The amount of misinformation and ..opinions reminds me of the kind of person that goes to a restaurant once... orders an item, doesn't like it, then is damn certain to tell everyone they know that "THE FOOD" is bad at that restaurant. Couldn't possibly be a chef having a bad night, or a new chef, or just the single dish they had, it must be the ENTIRE FOOODSSS. We got a chuckle out of how similar that sounded to some folks we know in games.
I prefer Jolt before the refomulated it to contain all the herbal garbage that leaves a horrible aftertaste. Back when it was just pure caffiene. And every flavor of it was awesome. Cola, cherry cola, orange, And especially blue (tasted like the liquid from an otter pop in soda form and blue).
I also miss surge. Though Vault is pretty good too.

Sorry, your post caused me to fall asleep and my forehead mashed the keyboard.

All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick.
I get banned in the forums for games I love, so lets see if I do better in the forums for games I hate.
I enjoy the serenity of not caring what your opinion is.
I don't hate much, but I hate Apple© with a passion. If Steve Jobs was alive, I would punch him in the face.
I give all sorts of random characters that you just said that, because Pepsi IS 10x better than Coke.
That Guild Wars 2 login screen knocked up my wife. Must be the second coming!

where am i misunderstanding you?

If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

Pepsi is just coke with water. Cern proved it.

Most annoying thing since 9gag.

If we had the brain power to think for ourselves, then there's no point to these forums.
In my opinion, both Coke and Pepsi suck!
