Let me try again to explain my attitude to this game. So that you and other people can understand me.
That is how I see your game by now. And this is my main complaint. But not only.
And I mean by default, as obvious, the fact that any of my opinions is just my opinion and not a scientifically proven fact. Because it's obvious that everyone has different tastes.
And in order to briefly explain why I am here, which you cannot understand at all, I will simply say: Because I want and I can. And I don’t see the need to explain why I want. Because the simple answer is: I'm curious. But you do not find satisfaction in this answer.
I was not even going to get into a discussion of the game. It just seemed funny to me that you were going to release the update exactly half a year after my message that the update would be released half a year later and called my “prediction” the negative rout. You must admit, it's really funny.
And I repeat again, to clarify, I do not consider other people worse than me or dumber. I consider myself more experienced in literature than
SOME other people, based on some observations. This does not make my argument negative or offensive. And I am only glad for a healthy discussion on this subject. Maybe an experienced literary critic will come and explain reasonably that I'm wrong and your game is a masterpiece worthy of Pulitzer Prize. Perhaps I will agree with him if his arguments are convincing enough.
That's all.
Heh, I think you are misunderstanding again. And sadly a reoccurring thing so it is a bit difficult. But I will try to make it even more simple.
Yes, we do understand what you mean. You do not like the story because you find it weird. You don't like how the genres are being mixed up. How I am not following the 'guidelines' of common storytelling.
Let me try to make this clear as possible; I've never cared about the guidelines. I don't care about what is usually 'no-no' to do in literature. I write whatever I wish to write. No restriction.
And about your example of the untouchable. Let say it was like that. The ONLY thing that matters for the producers and authors is if people enjoy it or not.
So what if it's weird and doesn't follow the norm? It's entertainment and the purpose of entertainment is to entertain. If the majority has been entertained then the author has done his/her job.
Why would you even care about that one dude who claims to be an expert and be like '
nuh-uh, I no like that way. Not normal! You're bad!'
In your mind; what is important is not the enjoyment of the story. Not how good or bad it is. Only if it follows the literary rules or not. That, in my humble opinion, is a big fallacy and a big halt to future great works.
As I said before, many great stories throughout our times have come by NOT following what is normal but rather by experimenting with different things.
About the 'experienced literary critic'... Who gives a shit? I am not looking for approval from a critic nor from you.
If 90% of my players tell me they dislike the story. I listen.
If some random critic or toxic guy tells me it. I laugh.
I have a targeted audience already.
An ice cream shop that only sells vanilla would not change it's way because someone who dislikes vanilla comes in and complains about it.
And in order to briefly explain why I am here, which you cannot understand at all, I will simply say: Because I want and I can. And I don’t see the need to explain why I want.
So basically- because you want to be toxic?
Looking at your past post at the different game threads- almost all of the comments are negative comments.
I was not even going to get into a discussion of the game
You commented. I answered.
I am very active on the thread. The only time I am not is after a release. Due to the number of comments.
I don't shy away from toxic people. I don't curse or become aggressive. Instead, I am curious as to why you behave the way you guys do.
Why do you feel the need to spend your time writing over 200 comments attacking devs, games and normal players?
Why do you think you are above other people and think it's okay to use derogatory words (and no, attacking someone and then saying that you didn't mean it as an attack is not possible. As someone who claims to be a literature expert, you should know that.)
