I think you're purposely making them look bad because thats the meme now. Gamers are evil Gamer Gate is evil. Having something wrong with this game is evil.Windknight said:
Remember that movie about a kid almost dying and having near death experience and how his parents were using the experience to push their views and get megabux at the same time? No one said that movie goers who disliked that movie were "The worst people".
I'm one of the people that dislike it but I dislike it for reasons I feel are completely non-dickish.
My real gripe is the weird way they present the narrative. It's crammed full of weird stuff that takes me out of it. Like the way they seem to be constantly comparing their kid to christ, or the constant "Art house" stuff that seems to be there for no reason other than to be "Deep". Just telling the story of the kid would have been dramatic enough. He didn't need to ride on constellations or be deified with constant biblical quotes. It just plain feels overwrought.
So no, it's not that "Games like this shouldn't exist" it's that it doesn't feel well done; doesn't feel like it's doing what it should, you know? I don't feel any closer or more empathetic towards the child because he's aggrandized and exaggerated to the point of being a non-human. He's like some platonic absolute, he is the uber-baby and he died for your sins.
