That's my biggest thing. Never a reason to be condescending or pretending to be better/know more than someone else. If someone states their opinion, you'll never prove that opinion wrong. Sure you can convince them to change their opinion, but opinions can never be wrong because they're never right. At the end of the day, this is a story-heavy game that asks you not to focus on the story. Which is dumb, no matter how you look at it lmaoThey were never on a high horse. They stated their thoughts, weren't arrogant about it, and that's it. It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, you do not have to be condescending just because you do not subscribe to their point of view. You are acting like you know them better than themselves/they are lying because they said a thing you don't agree with. Even if what they said was completely and unequivocally false, you can still have the sense to not put words in their mouth.
Also "Don't like it, don't play it" is dumb when it comes to discussing sequels. If this was a new IP, it would at least make some sense because then it becomes "You're not the intended audience for this, bud." But this is a sequel, and so people who enjoyed the first one are going to express their disdain for the second one. The sequel trilogy of Star Wars wouldn't have been so hated if it wasn't standing on the shoulders of two other trilogies because there would have been no precedent for the IP. It would have been a decent, albeit a bit nonsensical, sci-fi romp through the galaxy. Instead, you got a sequel trilogy that does its best to disparage the preceding movies and characters. And fans not sticking up for what they like about an IP is how you end up with The Witcher: Blood Origin.
I don't know, I liked it too.Wait, do people actually think that Pre-Sequel story was bad? I kinda felt like it was a great addition to the lore of the game. Sure, not all of the characters you engage with are as good as BL2, but in general I felt like it was good. I mostly heard about people being upset over it being a) it's typical borderlands, but everyone are Australian and b) How dare they imply that Vault Hunters, mercenaries that arrived to Pandora mostly to get rich, would do something morally questionable.
That actually kinda bummed me out the first time she asked me if I'd wingman for her. It was like, "Uh... What do you mean? I've been the person sparring with you, we've cuddled, hugged, and then saved your hive together?" Like it lets you get attached with zero warning lmao Feel like it would have been handled better if they did it like Our Red String did with Alyssa and Jeremy. You get your chance to be with her, and if you pass on it she doesn't just wait around for you to change your mind. It's not even that Liaden is a lesbian, like that's fine you do you. It's that Azzyran never gives you the chance to act on your feelings that she even reciprocates until you leave the Hive. And then you're just left out in the rain, because she gets a crush on the one person you're incompatible with.You're missing the part that comes out of nowhere and dialogue keeps treating Liaden as Azzy's priority over you despite everything before and we're just suppose to accept that.
That's why, after that first time, Azzy and Liaden go for a swim. Doesn't matter how pure I'm playing or how void of content the Corrupted Hive path is, because her suddenly falling in love with Liaden is just dumb.
