I don't like 4e. I think it sucks (rest of color commentary left off as the youngins might be listening). I started out saying, yeah, it's a fine game, it's just not D&D. But now I just hate it.
It seems like arena football versus football. Some people like arena football, but I think it sucks and is innately not football.
4e seems like they tried to make World of Warcraft or Everquest into D&D. If they appeal to that computer gamer market, awesome for them. But to try to sell it to me as an old time gamer with the beloved and revered name of D&D. No, that was wrong. I now despise the firm that owns the rights (and yeah, I can't keep up with who owns them now and I don;t really care).
However, I think it is absolutely fine that other people like it. Good for them. I like people having fun. I just am not going to play it again, but I hope everyone that does has a blast!
