Yeah, you're not saying anything at all.  Your argument isn't even an argument.  I tell you what I'm talking about and you  pretend it's something else or that I've changed what I've said by expanding on it, all while you avoid even touching the original point.  

I give you the exact argument I'm talking about and your reply is "but they might have legitimate criticisms and arguments".  What does that even mean?  I specifically define the people I'm talking about and then you say I'm generalizing them?  I mean, what?  It's like I say that I'm talking about a group of green aliens and then you say that I shouldn't generalize that group as being green.  It's meaningless.

Read what the other person says then address that, not some point you've invented on your own.

You yourself are already being inconsistent who you're defining. I literally proved that in my last comment. At this point you're just defending yourself by saying I'm making up stuff. Sure, it's REALLY easy to say that someone just isn't addressing your points. It's been done a million times on forums and I've certainly said it before. It's basically the way to get out of any real point, "you just aren't addressing what i'm saying man!"

Well you've already shown that the definition of people you are describing IS loose because you keep changing what exact kind of statements you're referring to. Again, which one is it? A ) An entire crowd of people who are not only negative but also that these people can not possibly fathom how a game in said genre is liked, B ) people who have said games of an entire genre should never be made, C ) particular people who have felt that the cinematic approach has ruined gaming for them. 

See how you ARE generalizing? You changed the point of discussion three times and only connected it by the general idea of people who are negative against a certain genre of games. 

Oh wait, you're just going to say I'm not addressing the point somehow, right? Even though I'm literally showing how you are generalizing and throwing a huge blanket over many different subgroups of people. 

Just because it's been done before doesn't mean it's not true.  All you are proving is that you can win against the arguments you make up yourself.

Let's talk about the "many different subgroups of people" that I'm throwing a huge blanket over.  Let's talk about all these many subgroups exactly.

""omg it's not a game it's a movie" crowd who cannot stand the idea that others might like something they do not."

Now, that's the group I defined in my very first post.  What is the essence of group?  People who do not like cinematic games and do not like that other people can like something they do not enjoy themselves.  I literally specified who I'm talking about.  It's right there.

Now, you say that "people who do not like cinematic games and do not like that other people can like something they do not enjoy themselves" is actually many different subgroups of people.

Uh.

No, it's not.  It's literally a very narrow field.

Okay, then, it's your turn.  Explain to me why "people who do not like cinematic games and do not like that other people can like something they do not enjoy themselves" constitutes a wide range of subgroups.  What are these subgroups?  And how, exactly, am I generalizing "people who do not like cinematic games and do not like that other people can like something they do not enjoy themselves"?

Edit:  Also, I got to say that you not understanding that I did those edits on purpose is pretty funny.

Edit 2:  That was a fake edit.
