| Onyxmeth said: You're probing people like you're a child. They give you an initial reason. Typically for most people that would be good enough, but you instead ask why. I suppose the purpose is that if you ask why enough times and delve deeper into the reasoning they'll cave and buy it or something. |
An answer like "I couldn't get into the game" isn't an answer at all. Obviously he couldn't get into the game, that's like repeating the question. I think it was appropriate for me to ask "Why couldn't you get into the game?".
When he said that the controls were clunky, I remembered that a common problem was people not being able to adjust to the new controls (I couldn't myself), so I asked him if he knew that he could change the controls to Bad Company 1 style.
I didn't treat him like a child, I treated him like an normal person who had a common problem.
As for the FFXIII response, he was being snippy, so I was being snippy. You can call both of us immature, fine, but don't act like Ken was trying to stimulate a meaningful discussion that I was meant to foster with a thoughtful response.
