Save final judgement for when there is something final to judge.
I urge everyone here to listen to this, especially those in doubt of Halo 4.
Save final judgement for release, when we see everything and everything is final.
Judgeing the game now isn’t wise. Things can change before release, things may be better or worse. If you judge it now, negatively or positively, things won’t always turn out as you expected.
If you judge it negatively now, you are practically blinding yourself. When you blind yourself with hate or dislike, you make it very difficult to enjoy it in the end. You end up convincing yourself that it will be bad, and from then on you will see it as bad. When you see it as bad, it is hard to enjoy it, am I right? Blinding yourself with hate now may make you miss out. If Halo 4 does end up being good and to your liking, but you already blinded yourself, you may not see it right. Even if you would have liked it before, you wouldn’t like it now because you convinced yourself that it wouldn’t work, it would be bad. Please, save final judgement, don’t hurt yourself.
If you judge it positively now, you may still be blinding yourself. If you think everything will be good, but something ends up being bad, you may not see it. You’ll be convinced that anything will work. It can make others frustrated if you blindly worship anything that comes. You might also be setting yourself up for disappointment. If the game fails, it’ll be a serious blow if you truly believed it wouldn’t. Its not a good feeling.
Thinking positively or negatively, liking it or disliking it is okay. But do not jump to conclusions this early. That goes for both sides, liking it and disliking it.
Opinions are okay, as long as they are constructive and organized. You may think spamming ideas across the forums will get it noticed and accepted. It may work quite opposite. Especially if it is a completely opinionized thought and you don’t offer any argument (shut out anyone disagreeing), people will become annoyed and will ignore it. If you think making everything capitalized and raging will get you noticed, it doesn’t help. It makes people view you in negative ways and dislike discussing/arguing with you.
Overall, both of these things will lead to a negative and somewhat depressing mood in the forums, to everyone. No one wants to discuss Halo 4 on the forum if it is filled with negativity and complaints.
The forums aren’t your complain box. They are for constructive purposes, whether criticism, feedback, or praise.
So, please keep these in mind.
Save final judgement for when there is something final to be judged.
The forums aren’t your complaint box. Make what you say constructive in some way, offering a discussion for both sides of an argument.
Keep the forums clear of spam and clutter, keep a positive and helpful atmosphere. No not flame or hate or bash others or the game, discuss your opinions in organized ways. Accept other criticism, accept other ideas.
Yes, I realize that “haters gonna hate”. I just hope that people will try to save judgement for release, and will support a more helpful forum.
This thread is not trying to sway people’s opinions or spread my own opinions. I just encourage people to save judgement and keep the forums nice and helpful, so you don’t hurt yourself and will keep Waypoint open and friendly for all Halo fans.
