Quoted from goatdan:I don't think that DE games play any worse, I think that it is a hang over of the ops opinions of them from back in the day, much like a lot of the stuff in our hobby is still ultimately based on ops from the 90s... (and indirectly, players in the 90s actions)
Respect your opinion.
I played a lot of them when they were new and I think they play much worse, are designed much worse, and look MUCH worse. My opinions of them aren't based on the flavor of these days but experience.
I think a lot of them are great fun, and will play them when I see them and have fun. I mean...they're better than Sega machines.
