      3.  Yeah, but life itself is pretty repetitive.  So, trying to criticize a life simulator for being repetitive might have more to do with the nature of life itself.

 

   Do you really play games in order to experience the repetitiveness of life?  Don't you already get enough of it?

      Well, it wouldn't be any different from some folk's favorite Wii games in that respect.

     So you are saying you don't mind repetitiveness.  Ok, cool.  It's a valid reason to contribute to not liking a game though, whether you personally mind it or not.  You said you didn't understand why people don't think it's one of the two best games this generation.  People are giving you their reasons.  I think what you are really having a problem with is understanding that everyone doesn't see everything the same as you, or have the same likes, dislikes, and preferences.
