I made that very clear in the first sentence, and even before that I gave an example in my first post. Grab a chair, let me explain something; The OP claims the narrative/dialogue has inconsistencies, and he gave us a line from Atreus. 'Are we going to fight that thing?' Consider the fact that Atreus is a child, probably not older than 12. Would a kid say something like that when he and his parent is faced with danger? I don't know what could be going through the kids mind at that point, but I would imagine the answer would be yes given to the fact that Atreus is a child and is looking at Kratos for guidance. The OP claims the map is the worst. Trust me, I've seen worse. Besides that, the game is not a fully open world game, the lay of the land is nearly straight forward. Would a prettier map help? No it won't. Trust me, I know joke threads. |
The "example" you gave in your first post was the following:
Let this thread go out silently. In a nutshell the OP arguments is basically like this. Example: Bosses are too weak on Easy Mode.
If you want to claim that the OP's arguments are similar to the straw man you've drawn up, you have to explain how. What exactly in his post is as absurd as being upset that bosses are too weak on easy mode? Or, since you've gone as far as to claim that all of his arguments are that ridiculous, you have to demonstrate how. Otherwise, again, you look like you're just disagreeing because the OP's opinions don't line up with your own.
Ideally, that should be done in the post where you accuse the OP of having arguments on par with that level of ridiculousness, and not three posts later.

That's a reasonable argument, and one that actually contributes to the discussion. Again, though, I think that's the kind of thing that should be coming out in the first post rather than just an accusation of trolling.

If you'll note the quotation: "perhaps the worse I've seen in a game." Emphasis on "I've seen." As in, you may have seen worse, but the OP does not believe he has. The fact that you've encountered worse laid out maps does not mean the same is true for everyone.
And, quite frankly, no, I can't say I trust you to know joke threads. Even though I find some of the OP's points and formatting questionable, there's nothing here that suggests an intent to troll or just get people upset. If the OP's intention is to play a practical joke by having a serious discussion about the merits of a game with most of the people that have responded on here, then sign me up for more of those jokes, because the gaming community as a whole could certainly use them.
