We will agree to disagree, as I stand by what I said. It boils down to common decency in my opinion. As part of the AVN community, you should want to help a developer be better, not be sarcastic and try to humiliate them with the words you choose. You want games to be better, but you can't expect any return when you talk that way. No, it isn't going to always be what YOU want. But that doesn't mean you have to use your words to deter others that might miss something they might actually like. A simple "I wish the MC was more like..." or "I didn't like the MC because...". I would have taken this stance whether I saw your review on mine or any other game. Instead of trying to build up the community, your words tear the good parts away little by little. And it isn't language only I dislike... It's insulting to anyone reading that. You're trying to justify being an ass and then owning up to it proudly like you did nothing wrong.Whilst I'm sorry to upset you negative language is going to be expressed in a negative review and exaggeratory or mocking language is something that can be used to express how large a specific issue is to the experience so other people who also dislike that aspect will know they will probably not enjoy the game.
I feel like reviews are more for other people to gauge whether they want to engage with the game or not so I'm going to be sincere as I'd hope the reviews I'm reading are sincere.
Like if I read my own review beforehand I probably wouldn't have played the game as there is emphasis on something I dislike so I know I wouldn't like the overall experience. Sure some people will use reviews to be a dick but you can't assume anybody using language/tone you dislike is trying to insult you when it can just be a way to express their sincere feelings which is literally the point of a review.
To put it simply I was annoyed by the character so I sarcastically mocked the character because that's something people do when they are annoyed by something and I had it as an addendum because it was not the original reason I wrote the review but it was something that constantly detracted from the experience
It is what it is. You are who you are, and I am who I am. You choose to speak that way, I choose not to. You think it's right, I think it's wrong. Either way, I'll say no more about it. Carry on.
