I like how I didn't have to alter that last sentence at all for it to work. PATTING MYSELF ON THE BACK FOR GOOD WRITING!
Did you immediately see the words "shock", "system", "2" and think "Oh that FABIO, at it again! Well he's not going to get away with it THIS time!" before proceding to post this? I didn't pull that comparison out of my ass just for the sole purpose of slamming SS2 again but because it was the perfect analogy. SS2 tried to do the whole "FPS RPG" thing and failed at it, then around a year later Deus Ex came along, tried the same thing, and (mostly) succeeded. TO tried to make a squad based strategy RPG and failed. FFT came along a couple years later and succeeded. I tried to think of any other two comparable games that would rebut the ridiculous claim of "if you liked FFT (nearly everyone), then you'll also like TO (nearly no one)!!!", but SS2 and Deus Ex fit exactly. Since you're not old enough to drink (but are old enough to be a great writer! (self opinion -ed.)), I expect clearer thinking from you.
In fact, here's a free writing critique of your above post! In your last few closing sentences, your tone suggests that you're trying to sound like an aloof sage looking down from his secluded mountain in bemusement at a toddler throwing a temper tantrum. This however goes against the idea presented in the opening paragraph: that your sudden and frequent cursing suggests that it is YOU who have been baited into a rage.
Hope that helps! Good luck with your "I'm going to be a professional writer an-HOLY SHIT ARE YOU TELLING ME I SHOULD BE SUBMITTING STUFF? TO EDITORS?!?!!!!!" career!
Did you consider the fact that my "cursing" may not be a sign of my anger, but is present for the emphasis that it obviously made? To become angry from a post on an internet message board, created by someone who I have never met and don't respect would be ridiculous. Sorry, I'm not that easy. Come on there, don't you have any other tricks up your sleeve? "HAHA YOU ARE YOUNG!" How old are you? Let's hear it. Maybe you posted this somewhere else, but I don't have time to read through every single post. Despite what you have assumed, I do have a full social life, including women. WHAT? WOMEN? That's right! You see, since I posted a few negative experiences with the fairer sex, you assumed that those were the only ones. That's fine. You can throw around baseless accusations all night; it won't do a damn thing. And my writing? I'd listen to you if you came off as a bit more literate than you actually do. Besides not posting a single piece of prose anywhere, ever, you have also failed to demonstrate, in my eyes, any extensive knowledge in any field except video games. Furthermore, I have never objectively called myself a good writer.
And listen, when I replied saying that we understand that you hate System Shock 2, the post was completely void of malice. For some reason you started this grudge match, which I can't back down from because of evolutionary reasons. If you want to keep going, hot shot, you're welcome to it. I was never very good at explaining to people why their mother is a cunt, but I'll give it a shot.
