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.

I wouldn't expect you to see the forest for the trees. You're mildly obsessed with defending this game, and have to find different outlets. You're finding it difficult to understand the purpose of the comment you found snippy. You totally missed what one member was trying to tell you when you confused his answer as internet problems. You don't even have a good grasp on the original question you asked. Your first paragraph to me where you explain the redundancy of another member's answer suggests you think the question you asked is "Why don't you like BC2?". That's not what you asked at all. You asked "What's stopping you from getting it?". Someone saying "I couldn't get into the game" is in fact a very fine answer to that question.
