I don't have a problem with the fact that you disliked the game for taste and style reasons. But I do have a few bones to pick with you.

First, I am going to give you the "You're not an RPG person." Dragon Quest? First, you realize the last Dragon Quest was a PS2 title? Released in '05? Not to mention that most Square/Enix RPGs are cut of a different cloth than Western RPGs. So you show yourself to be that out of touch with RPG games, and you don't want to be called on it? Perhaps you should educate yourself more on the RPGs of today, or even the immediate yesterday, before you run off half-cocked.

Second, you gave it ten hours, you say, and you deem this to be more than enough to make a fully informed opinion. In fact, you seem to imply that the three to four hours your peers invested were more than enough to make a fully informed decision about the game - well enough informed to write a bad review on it. This makes you just as bad as fanboys who play a game for an hour and decide it's god's gift to gaming.

Next, who are you to decide for others whether they will like a game or not? You've turned two coworkers off to the game before they even got a chance to try it out. Just because it may not be their usual thing doesn't mean they won't like it. Many times gamers cross their comfort-genre for a game that is worth it. It is up to THEM, not you, to decide whether it is worth it.

Finally, as others here have pointed out, you just admitted to voting for a game you don't even like. If you choose to vote for a game you didn't like, because you respect what that game has done, then you continue your respect, not blast the game. If you really disliked a game that much, you should not have voted for it - you have just shown that you are no better than fanboy sheep.

Hopefully you can sleep better at night now that you have gotten this awful secret off your chest.
