Topic	Are people too critical of modern games?
iiicon 11/18/18 3:50:28 PM #46:	Unbridled9 posted... But then is it wrong to point out just how lacking Morrowind is in it's mechanics as well? It's numerous flaws and issues? 'Of course it's fine'. But that's sort of not the point setting up a straw man that doesn't exist (the Morrowind Combat Defender), knocking it down, and then transitioning away from it because it's irrelevant is an interesting choice. Unbridled9 posted... As if the only way for ES:VI to be any good would be for it to be Morrowind 2.0. It's the same with a lot of other games like MM (it's ALWAYS MM) or RBY but the outcome is always the same. Hyper-criticism of newer titles for every little fault (even upsides like streamlined mechanics) while lauding the older titles and worshiping every aspect. I don't know where you hang out that people are completely uncritical of Morrowind (nobody likes melee combat, if you run into a rat early in the game you're kinda boned), Majora's Mask (pretty much everyone agrees there aren't enough dungeons), or RBY (battle system is pretty unbalanced). Doesn't seem like a healthy place! I suggest leaving? Or ignoring these people? Or if you must, ask them why they prefer the old games over the new ones? Because with all three examples, there's pretty clear reason why: Morrowind and Majora's Mask do specific things different than their respective series standards, while the Pokemon games are very iterative and perhaps that only works once on a person. Unbridled9 posted... However, assuming the pretty likely scenario of it being critical of those games because of those aspects... No duh people are mad. It's irritating as heck to constantly deal with moral guardians and politically motivated outrage If you're gonna make a topic arguing people should treat games fairly and discuss them on their own terms and then argue that people treating games fairly and discussing them on their own terms are annoying and they aren't even real gamers anyway, I think the place you're looking for is one of the many GamerGate sites, or at least Vlado's Nationalist topic. --- ICON: Kiwami means extreme. <cite>iiicon posted [p:912626114] in Are people...
