Re: The Ghost House Part2
Just to prove my point about Eripme's post, I will now analyze the first post of the thread:
Eripme then goes on to provide two images, and two very small descriptions. Simply put, if Eripme wanted a discusion thread, then he should have posted that in the first thread instead of bringing up the game and bragging about having it. As such, this doesn't resemble so much of a 'I want to discuss this game' thread as it does a marketing post with troll tendencies.
Given that, after re-reading that post, I realized that the post serves no purpose, I am going to go edit it in a minute to change it to something less provocative and more on topic.
Just to prove my point about Eripme's post, I will now analyze the first post of the thread:
HI long time lurker here thought I might try posting for once, Nearfatal.net just came out with The Ghost House Part2 figured maybe some of you folk might be interested.(1)
looks like its a actual game now and you can explore the house, there seems to be some tentacle action as well.(2)
I purchased the game (12 bucks) and gonna try it tonight. Also since I want to see more nearfatal work especially for Dangerous Vaults 2 don't ask me for a copy(3)
kinda looks like a quest type game
w00t tentacles, not just ghost sex
- Translation: "I'm coming out of lurkering to show you all a fun game I found that you might want." - Sounds overall normal for a game thread.
- Translation: "The demo is almost a completed game, although it has a bit left to go." - Sounds reasonable, most freeware games are like this. Given that Eripme said it looks like a game, then it is quite clear that it isn't a finished game yet.
- Translation: "I bought the demo and it cost me 12 dollars, why you need to know this, I don't know, but I feel like telling you. Also, I shall now proceed with the taunting (Insert smiley that is the equivalent of gloating given the context)" - Now then... This is the part of the post that gets a bit dicey. The first part is just odd: why mention the cost? It contributes nothing to the discussion if this thread was added for that purpose, and also strikes me as odd since Eripme essentially declared the game to be a demo earlier in the post. Also, the second part is not discussion at all, it's only use is to gloat, much like a troll statement, and comes off with a 'Look at me, suckers, I got the game and I feel like rubbing it in your faces *Stick out tongue*'
