"Sure, as you say its subjective, and it is my subjective opinion that you are not a real person." An Arma 3 player's "personal DLC tierlist" comes under fire as users in /r/arma wage war over how and why OP ranks some DLCs

https://old.reddit.com/r/arma/comments/1cyo3yz/my_personal_a3_dlc_tierlist/

The Context

/r/arma is dedicated to discussing the Arma series, primarily Arma 3 and the sequel testbed Arma Reforger. Like many simulation games, Arma 3 has lots of DLCs (about 19 so far), but they're all fairly good and add a plethora of content to the vanilla game. Of the DLCs, a handful are viewed in very high regard. Apex (Pacific spec-ops), S.O.G. Prairie Fire (Vietnam War), Western Sahara (lore-friendly desert warfare), Contact (non-canon alien sci-fi), Tac-Ops ("meanwhile" mission pack occurring alongside the base game's campaign), Laws of War (Red Cross-backed humanitarian non-combat story campaign), and Global Mobilization ("Cold War gone hot" 1980s Germany) are generally considered the best for their content and popularity, and are viewed quite fondly. So fondly, in fact, that perhaps not liking them is a cardinal sin to others...

The Drama

This morning, a user posted their personal Arma 3 DLC tier list to the sub. Recall those DLCs I listed, because out of all of them, only Tac-Ops got to the top tier alongside Tanks and Helicopters (which both added a couple of their titular vehicles and improved gameplay mechanics for them, but not much else). Notably, Apex and S.O.G. Prairie Fire were in the middle tier, even though the community generally considers them the best DLCs. "Pretty good" might not be pretty bad, until you realize the only ones below it are Marksmen (added cool infantry weapons), Karts (a joke DLC that barely counts), and CSLA Iron Curtain (which was so bad the devs apologized and offered full refunds). So yeah, that's not a great position to be in.

And finally, the best for last:

  • A user asks OP if this is satire. When OP states this is their actual personal opinion, the user proceeds to insist OP isn't a real human; upvotes suggest the sub agrees with this general sentiment. OP's response to this is removed by the mods, but after a brief back-and-forth, nothing is accomplished and the status of OP's existence as a conscious human being is left unresolved, though the topic has apparently been made a subjective matter.

OP has since deleted their account.

The Flairs
