| RolStoppable said: ~snip~ The point raised by @AngryLittleAlchemist remains true, there's a lack of nuance in this thread. Over the past two days we had many people in here telling you that you've lost your marbles, but NightlyPoe frames those responses as people trying to convince others that Nintendo has been having a good year and repeats how there have been only three new games (that is, after the goalposts have been moved as far as they could) to arrive at a conclusion that the disappointment expressed in this thread has been reasonable, including your posts specifically. He had a bigger problem with the people responding to you than your posts. ~snip~ |
Yea I have to admit, while I still stand by the general points brought up in my post, it just wasn't an appropriate one for this thread. I felt like valid subjective criticism was going to be flushed down the drain because of poorly thought-out objective list wars, and while negativity being lumped in with bad actors is still something I fear for other threads in the rest of the forum, that comment wasn't really applicable here - specifically when the subjective side of the argument starts engaging in the very same list wars that would make their points illogical.
In the span of a few weeks we got people flipping around entirely because of one Mario collection which not only had very little effort put into it, but was rumored for almost half the year and didn't even fully represent the 3D-line it was referencing (talking about Galaxy 2, I can understand 3D Land and World of course). In such a scenario, all it would take is a simple "what if x rumor is true?" for a person to be completely fine with the year when including the previously unannounced collection. And a Zelda spin-off which, while looking quite great, just begs the question ... did people really expect no new games at all for the holiday? Is that what people were really basing their entire argument off of? It just makes the whole proposition silly. I probably should have known something was up when even in my own post the only people I could really "call out" directly as bad actors were also the only people on the side of downplaying Nintendo's 2020, even whilst defending their right to be disappointed.
It's quite funny too because Xenoblade HD ended up being one of my favorite games on the Switch and possibly a favorite in general, and while I didn't play much Animal Crossing and haven't gotten to Paper Mario yet, again there's very little disappointment from my end other than just wanting more new releases from afar (and even that has evaporated since the 3D Mario Collection and Hyrule Warriors 2, both of which I'm quite excited for). I suppose I care too much about being fair to others, and arguing in general, that I sort of missed the forest for the trees. Now I'm not sure if the comment has aged poorly because it doesn't make sense for this thread, or if it has aged finely because it goes to show how endlessly unbelievable the discussion in this thread will continue to be.
