Why did the thread asking if people regret their purchase get closed?

I’m sure this one will get closed too, but it seems to me it was an honest question. I’m still on the fence about whether or not I really like it, and I AM going to give it time before I come to a conclustion. But that said, I thought the thread would be a good place to see how other peoples initial reactions, and possibly find out more about the things others like about it that I’m missing. Is it not ok to post threads that question whether or not the game is good??

I guess I could understand the argument that it’s not a ‘strategy’ specific topic, but neither are a lot of other topics in here like questions about pre-orders shipping, etc.

Maybe they get offended that people aren’t liking the game they like, lol.
I don’t see any problem wrong with people saying they don’t like it. While an opposite thread will most likely not get locked.

yeah, but I mean- I could understand it if it was a thread purely about disliking the game. Personally I think even that should be fair game as long as it’s about honest discussion and not just flaming/bashing- but in this case it wasn’t even that. It was a guy asking if anyone regretted their purchase- which isn’t saying the game is bad, it’s asking for peoples opinions which might have been helpful for people who either on the fence about whether they wanted to get it, or for people like me who are interested in seeing peoples opinions of the game, both positive and negative.

Because you created the the thread the day of/day after release. It’s way too soon for someone to actually legitimately say whether or not the purchase is worthwhile.

I was able to tell SF4 was going to be bad…-_- . Your telling me you never played a game first time and disliked it or had a negative feeling about it? It doesn’t have to be legitimate.

I didn’t create that thread it was someone else. But I will say that I don’t agree with that at all, I think it depends on the person. Everyone has their tastes, and for some people it might be evident that even if they spent all the time in the world trying to get good at the game, the game just wouldn’t be their cup of tea. It could be based on a number of factors that aren’t related to knowing the game’s engine.

People might disagree with that logic, but why can’t they simply not read/post in the thread then? Just because some people disagree, that means nobody should be able to discuss it?

I don’t regret it at all. This game is the shit. The netcode is fucking beautiful and I see way more variety online than I do in SF4.

This was the reason. It was a bit ridiculous and way too soon to say something like, also I did it to stop the potential flame fest that would have inevitably started in that thread.

ALSO, there is a review thread. That has both BAD and GOOD reviews in it. Look it up.

Easy on the trolling and assumptions, you have no basis for either. Thanks.

Some people are just butthurt.

I bought this game because I don’t like FADC.

Trade online matches with me =(

You are all entitled to your opinions, but there is a place for it. From now on, all reviews/regrets/posts of happiness/complaints/etc. (anything but trolling - you know who you guys are) go here.
