You consider what he is doing praising? Calling it crap? Interesting.

Or are you saying that by him saying that it appeals to him as much as GB (which he also called crap mind you) he is praising it?

and you call my logic messed up

Back-handed praise is still praise in my book. Now go away and stay there.

you are unlucky that I'm bored ()... Explain what back-handed praise is.

If I say NFL 2k3 is crap, and I say Mario Kart is crap, but then I say NFL 2k3 is more appealing to me because it looks better, I'm back-handedly praising NFL 2k3 even though I hate the game?



I think what most have done in this thread (including morpheus) is openly bash the N-Gage, and praise the GBA... and you pick on the one guy who finds them both to be crap and who finds the Gage to be more appealing crap then GBA?



So it's better to show open hate for N-Gage then "back-handed praise" (whatever the hell that means) for it?





Even worse, you keep repeating that gameplay is all that matters, and you are basing your distaste for it off of reviews. The same reviews that this guy has probably already read. You are telling me that not once in your life you have been interested in a game dispite what reviews it got?



Did you ever take into consideration that he could have been swayed by more than the graphics to say it is more appealing then GBA for him? I mean, he did say "If it wasn't for the price it would be no worse than GBA" which in a way could be taken as him saying GBA is better at it's current price? I mean, N-Gage also has a Cell Phone and MP3 player built in, which to a non-gamer would make it more appealing in the first place.



This is the fact here, he said "all handheld games suck, N-Gage and GBA are no exceptions"

He clearly said N-Gage and GBA "suck". How you you came to the conclusion that he was praising N-Gage is still beyond reason. The way I see it, you are obviously trying to protect GBA here. You didn't get angry with him for saying they are crap, you got mad at him because he said it's better than GBA.

Unless you have a good reason for saying that he was praising N-Gage... then you completly destroy my arguement. So lets hear it. Tell me how on earth this man is praising the Gage, and why it's any worse or more blind than what anybody else said in this thread.

*taps foot*

Oh, and morpheus, take his posts as an attack. Anybody who calls you a graphics whore that many times is obviously trying to attack you. Also, sorry for probably putting words in your mouth, I don't know exactly where you are coming from, all I know is X-Man is getting on your case for much less than other people are doing in this thread.
