Nor does saying “games need to evolve” then leaving the thread actually consitute a “legit argument”. Why do games need to evolve? What does it even mean for a game to evolve? Are you saying games need to refine and improve upon themselves? Then obviously I disagree that what you’re proposing does that, and obviously you can say the same thing without using charged language. Are you saying games need to add whatever things you personally consider to be good? That’s not logical and you obviously can’t form a universal, objective statement around that.

Err, I guess I’m trying to be clever? I mean, I’ll always attempt to be unbiased in what I argue, though the way you put it makes it sound like I’m trying to decieve you. If that’s so, I honestly don’t know how you came to that conclusion. And yeah, I agree, using logic to justify your statements is a good thing. I recommend it.

You actually read my post, right? Because this here was my entire argument. If you wanna make a claim, don’t leave it empty. I’m alright if you say that “Halo needs to evolve” and then proceed to explain, with proper reason, why; what I do have a problem with is saying things like “Halo needs to evolve” or, opposing that, “Sprint ruins Halo” and then ending it there. Not once did I say Halo straight-up needs to evolve, only that I like the current changes. It’s not logical to want the things I believe would improve the game, but this is what we call subjective. If you dislike Sprint, that’s not logical or grounded with objective reason as well. And you know, no matter how many people misuse it or call it a buzzword, it doesn’t change the definition of “evolve”, so I’m also not sure where you’re going with that.
