Don't worry, I read your entire post. What's left after my cut is the most relevant part. If you want nuanced discussion, then this thread isn't a good place for it. That's because the basis of this thread is hyperbole (see: thread title) and the complaints are framed in according manner. There's deliberate intellectual dishonesty from those who complain, hence why Marth can put bait in here and it doesn't take long until someone bites. It's an outrage thread, hence why you have someone like Javi angry in here and then being hyped for a low effort 3D Mario collection in the Mario Direct thread. That's the high level of subjectivity that is in play here. Endless complaints about lack of effort and communication by Nintendo, followed by excitement for something that shouldn't lead to excitement if there was a sense of objectivity. What it comes down to are two states of mind: 1. There's no game I like: Everything's terrible, worst year ever. Of course you never faced the same thing in 2018. You knew restraint. You were capable of taking a step back and looking at the whole picture. You were able to acknowledge that games you wouldn't buy yourself were interesting for other people. And the other side conceded that 2018 wasn't as well-paced as 2017. When both sides of a discussion are open to a dialogue, then you get that nuance you wish for. But in this thread, nope, forget it. The setup of this thread is similar in tone to CerebralBore's "Why I am not buying a PS5, or any of Sony's games..." thread, with the difference being that the PS5 thread has an original post that goes all in instead of having other people piggybacking on the thread's message. Assume the worst case scenario, run with it and strongly disagree with everyone who intends to bring reason to the thread. It isn't so much about discussion as it is about attention, about getting some time in the spotlight and having people respond to you. That's what curl is in a nutshell, that's what this thread has become about without a doubt. |
I honestly agree with most of this comment, but I still felt the need to say it in case there are users (or specific comments, though I guess looking at comments in a void isn't always helpful) who are being fair in stating their opinion and being called out. Because not just in this thread, but in other threads before on this site (not necessarily relating to Nintendo even) I've felt negativity has garnered too much immediate refusal or denial of acceptance. There are certainly users who make a bad case for the more non-literal emotional portion of the conversation though, like you said, which again is why I was brutally honest about it in the post. A lot of replies in here feel geared towards negativity in general, maybe that's not true but I still felt the need to state that opinion once and for all, just in case something like this ever happens again (which it will ever drought). Hope you can understand that.
And yea, I noticed how funny that Javi turnaround was, too. From saying Nintendo are psychopaths to being very hyped in the other thread.
