As gnizmo pointed out, the thread is funnier than the OP. And that's just sad.

The point of satire is to point out a social problem in a safe, and humorous way. Rol is pointing out the hypocrisy of many people on this forums while making a joke so as to keep it low key. Textbook satire really.

My reply was better :P

Of course not, why would he want that casual crap when he owns the most hardcore system of this gen?

 

Am I doing it right?

Mine is the explanation you would get in any lit class worth taking. Yours doesn't even explain the point of satire

Why do people call Ratchet and Clank kiddy?

Because you play as a animal?

And you say last year you got Resistance 2 you know Isonamic made that and Ratchet and Clank.

A game is mature because it has blood or human characters?

Anyways...

Infamous made by Sucker Punch a kiddy developer Sly Cooper trilogy and Rocket Robot On Wheels on N64.

 

Uncharted Naughty Dog is also a kiddy developer Crash Bandicoot PS1 trilogy and Jax & Daxter PS2 Trilogy.

 

All of Sony's top developers are kiddy developers so yes Sony is hardcore kiddy.

 

Hehe and another falls for it. 

If you want a serious answer the reason someone would seriously call R&C kiddy is the same reason someone would call Mario kiddy, it justifies their console of choice, and "puts them above" those that play kiddy games. 

But since you're new you must know Rol does a lot of satire, making reference to similar situations between gamers but putting the shoe on the other foot and people get highly upset because they don't realize the point of satire.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point of satire to be funy?

As gnizmo pointed out, the thread is funnier than the OP. And that's just sad.

Ever read Gullivers Travels?  That book is rarely funny and entirely satire. Here's a little help :P

sat⋅ire

–noun

 

1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.
3. a literary genre comprising such compositions.

So Rol wasn't trying to be funny?

In that case, he succeeded.

Maxwell's reply was more researched, but I personally preferred Gnizmo's.

Dictionary look up != more researched. I could try to find citations for this online if you like. I suggest just talking to lit professors though.

@Maxwell
I addressed what and why! But this bickering back and forth is not funny unless we have Koopaling avatars probably.
