While you're not using obvious terminology like HOTTEST and COOLEST, you're definitely getting the same point across with "The next Southperry game"; which has the same effect as saying "The next big hit!"Strongly agree.
The title of the thread is made to lure people in, with a typical advertising ploy. People didn't come into this thread to have a Mincraft discussion, they came out of curiosity as to what the hell the "next Southperry game" was.
The first part of your post also heavily relates this to an advert. How many times have you heard similar lines on TV?
In a deep and masculine announcer voice
"First...there was Baseball. Then, there were baseball video games. NOW, WITNESS HISTORY IN THE MAKING! VIRTUAL REALITY BASEBALL!"
Bottom line is, while you may not have intended for this to be an advert, it comes off sounding like one. I vote this thread's title be changed to "Minecraft". As of right now, it's too focused on THE NEXT SP CRAZE than it is on the game itself. You did make this thread to discuss Minecraft, right? Because I can't see that from your post, seems more like you're just trying to get people to vote this game gets a board of its own. That's the primary intent I read behind the purpose of this thread.
Sounds so much like advertising.
And it looks crappy.
And I call it sucks judging by the posts so far. :|
