Because all SW is arguing over who's opinion is more correct. Everyone has their own opinions. Reviews are opinions. Are you telling me that you loved every game that GS gave 8.0+ and hated everything 7.9-? You can't play sales, but you can't play review scores either. Different people have different opinions on games. .hack//gu volume 3 scored a 5 while the user review score is a 9.1.  This proves that just because GS doesn't like a game, it doesn't mean the world should hate it.

Of course, this is all IMO.

It's implied, although some people probably don't think so. They're generally newcomers anyway.

I think system wars should disappear, so that fanboys don't have a specific place to fuel their fanboyism.

Or maybe we should just hope that everyone has enough common sense to realize that anything anyone says is just their opinion. Yes, that's right, I said common sense in System Wars. Sue me...

You cant say In your opinion if someone lays down cold hard facts. Like sales numbers for example.

If that happened the mods would have to deal with trolling all over the other boards, if it really bothers people at least they can easily avoid it by not entering SW.

I don't like system wars because people instantly assume their opinions are facts. They hate other people based on having different beliefs other than themselves. Its so ignorant. But there are people who are somewhat bright and state things above the mindless fanboy chitchat, however its usually shut down by fanboys. System wars is a forum that will go no where, but hey its entertaining I suppose.

That's the point of why System Wars was created. So that doesn't happen and have fanboys all over the place.

I'm working on it, sit tight.

Though what I hate is when people like to challenge what your point by saying, "Well it's just your opinion". Yes, I did realise that, what's your point? Is this not a place to share opinions, do I have to put, "IMO", after every line I type? People need to stop with the flamming aswell, because the ones that do are seriously bad at it. "You play Halo, that must mean you are a casual, lol, fail". You tried to attach a cultural label on to me by looking at the video games I play, lol, fail.

Could you not have posted this prior to what I said so I could have used it as an example? Incidently you really should learn some manners, and also read the rules

The wii is an overpriced crappy system with only 3-4 games that are worth playing and it only sells because of the casuals. No reason to put imo at the end of that sentence because its a fact.

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Mario Kart Wii

Metroid Prime 3

Legend of Zelda: TP

No More Heroes

...huh, fact indeed. :? My point is, while the Wii's high sales numbers is due to casuals, games that are worth playing is definitely an opinion. For example, I'm looking forward to Fatal Frame IV, but not everyone is. Therefore I believe it's a game worth owning a Wii for, but because not everyone likes Fatal Frame games, that's just an opinion based on my personal preference.

Those games I used above are all worth playing according to Gamespot and numerous other review websties.

Identifying what's an opinion and what's a fact should be a skill you learned in middle-school. I'm not going to hold your hand for you to determine what's an opinion or whats a fact, you should be smart enough to do that yourself.

Opinions are implied, or at least they should be. If they aren't that's where problems usually start.

You don't need to make it more obvious that it is your opinion when it says your name right next to your post. When you talk to someone, you don't tell them it is your opinion every time.

Telling others where they should be in terms of learning/growth is your opinion of the process. Different for everyone......I couldn't help joking on that.

Uh...no. That would just be a waste of people's time.

It's already universally accepted that most posts are opinions by all reasonable posters here. Only blind fanboys try to present their opinions as facts.

And there are cases in which posts aren't opinions, but facts. For instance, it would be pointless to say IMO after saying "humans need oxygen to live" because it's quite obvious that that isn't an opinion.

Or if I said that PC is capable of the best graphics

Wii has the weakest graphics

M/KB is more accurate and precise.

Amongst many other things. Infact thing get really good hear when people do use facts and logic as oppossed to overly emotional opinions.
