Your quote doesn't really fit what he said. There's a big difference between seeing 'adult' as a term of approval, and simply believing something is too childish for your tastes. The reverse (believing a game is too violent etc) is also fine. You wouldn't criticize a 40 year old for saying they've outgrown Dora the Explorer, nor for being uncomfortable with shooting someone in a game.


Yeah i wouldn't, because dora is a infant program. Splatoon is TPS with mechanics that make it more complex than a lot of "adult" shooters nowadays. If you were trying to compare both things you are dong it very wrong

I wasn't, it was just a useful example of something most would write off based on age. If you decide you don't like something because it's for kids, you're being childish. If you just believe it's too childish for your tastes, you're doing nothing wrong (or abnormal for that matter). It's no different than believing a game is too gritty/'mature' for your tastes. The latter doesn't make you immature. In both cases 'childish' and 'mature' are simply descriptive words, like me describing Pokemon as a "childish looking game". It is, but i still love it :p It's an aesthetic I've never grown out off (though as I've aged the stories have gotten progressively worse lol).

We really shouldn't be talking about this here though. I didn't intend for it to become a proper discussion, so i hope my reply covers everything ^^ If it doesn't you can PM me.
