I am getting sick and tired of every other post pathetically trying to have legitimacy by adding the cliche "It's just my opinion...". Please understand that everything you say is 'just your opinion' and by stating it you immediately make what you are saying sound feeble. Firstly, if you've got something to say, just say it.
People are far more likely to enter into a discussion if the original post shows some sort of passion/belief. Whether you say it is just an opinion or not, the rest of the human race will make up their own minds if they agree or disagree. The basic premise for a discussion is two opposing viewpoints and by saying 'it's just my opinion' aren't you just looking for weak 'likeminded' souls to agree with you and make you feel better?
Surely the whole point of this forum is to provoke SOME intelligent discussion of the way games are going etc.
For instance, there seems to have been little discussion of MGS2 other than ....I like it its my opinion....I don't like it its my opinion....pah. WHY do you like it or dislike it? By entering in to a debate we learn more about each other, about what works in games, what doesn't and ultimately what games should be like etc.
Believe in what you say.....If you love Rez no-one can stop you loving it....but you might be able to pass it on to someone else.....ie discussion provokes learning and understanding in everyone who takes part.
Do you see?

I see what you are saying but would like to point out that this is precisely what alot of the argument in the forum has been about recently.

There are some goods post in here but finding them amongst the rubbish is getting harder. The good posters very rarely use the just my opinion answer because they rightly believe what they are writing.
