Sorry, I gave vivster multiple times the hand declaring his opinion his opinion and that other people do have other opinions. vivster decided he know the gold standard of defining what fun is for everyone. And you spin it so hard that seemingly now other people that allow for different opinions are the single-minded ones. My head hurts about that much spinning.

This all started with you giving viv shit for having an opinion that differs from yours, not vice versa. You're the one showing the lack of respect for Viv's point of view.

Well, let's jog your memory:

If it was designed with it but would increase my fun immensely if it was gone, I'd say it was a pretty bad design.

Well, if gone it would reduce my fun (as endlessly being able to climb or swim would be no challenge). And seemingly more are with me than you. So you have no fun with this mechanic, well, so be it. Not your cup of tea. Play something else.

I found the Tomb Raider reboot bad everyone was raving about. Still I can accept that others thought differently and let it be.

tl;dr I guess different people find different things fun.

The fun would be not having to waste time on arbitrary bars in a game that is already very time consuming. So far I have seen nothing that these systems elevate other than making me wait, use longer routes and spend more time in menus. Those things are not fun.

Games are like all forms of entertainment a way to spend time. If a game entertains you for 20 hours instead of 10, it is a good thing. Bad would it be, if the additional time is boring. Seemingly it is for you. Seemingly not for most others.

You seem to hate that other people have different opinions than you do and draw enjoyment out of different sources than you.

 

As you can see, I and others told vivster that we have a different opinion, but his is an opinion. Vivster instead opted into ridiculing our opinion. How can you ask for respect for vivster, while not asking vivster to have respect for other peoples opinion? How strange is that?
