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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

 

If you want to have a discussion regarding semantics then lets take it to private messages. Secondly, If you don't understand something then just say explain and I would happily do so. Finally, attempting to discredit the initial claim made by me by substituting vocabulary for logic is petty. Thanks for wasting my time in this joke thread.

I'm not here to debate semantics. Nothing I've said even remotely resembles that, and I'm not entirely sure where you've gotten that from. My point was ad is, if you're going to accuse someone of trolling, it's generally polite to provide tangible examples as to why you believe they're trolling. If you just say "OP's arguments are comparable to (insert straw man here)," without showing how or why you believe that, then you look like the one who's trolling.

That's my only issue. If you have a problem with that, feel free to respond/PM/whatever.

Also, if you're so darn convinced it's a joke thread, why even bother posting and giving it more attention in the first place?
