    @RichHomieBodhi 3 года назад +23

    I think some of the harsh criticism (lets be real, some people personally attack him, and that aint cool) Ian gets is that he can be very descriptive of why he dislikes something and it can come off as vitriolic even though that was not the intent. Kyle kind of touched on it when he countered Ian with TLOU2’s writing. Like instead of calling the gameplay a slog, he could’ve said He didn’t like the pace of the gameplay. Cause calling it a slog to someone who likes it would feel like an attack, while the other way says you just didn’t like it for a particular reason.
    Not saying Ian should change how he goes about his critiques, just an observation.
    Also to anyone attacking someone for their opinions on games needs to chill and grow up. Make a counter to why you disagree instead of hurling insults.
    L&R
    enjoyed your conversation. Stay safe out there.

    • @kevboard
      @kevboard 3 года назад +6

      oh Ian is very diplomatic... I would just say that TLOU2 is a terrible game designed by someone pretentious who clearly doesn't want to make a game with interesting mechanics or ideas but simply an "Oscar Bait" mush of boring mechanics, slow walking sequences and cutscenes.
      ...of course in the gamimg world it wouldn't be oscar bait, more like Game Award Bait I guess.
      and it's only controversial because it's e generally liked game. if anyone says sometimes really bad about a game that people generally agree on is bad, noone bats an eye... it's just that people, for some reason I don't understand, generally think Naughty Dog makes good games... and whenever people disagree it's national news.

      @@thedurtylemur2282 no my point is that people only care about anyone's option on The Last of Us 2 because it is a popular and liked game.
      imagine someone trashing a game that isn't critically acclaimed and wasn't getting awards left and right.
      do you think someone, or even the same person would write a comment about it? no, noone would.
      it's laughable that someone would want someone else to word a critique in a specific way in order to avoid making fans of the game upset.
      TLoU2 and all of ND's games are trash of the highest order IMO, just because people like it doesn't mean I should word it differently.
      there are people who love games that are generally disliked by the public and get way harsher comments made about them but noone cares.
      it is as if punching down on smaller games with less fans is ok but punching up to the giant AAA machinery is not ok.
      and that's exactly what it is, a machine looking at trends and how to maximize mass-compatibility and catering to what gets good reviews by known outlets. not a single Gamedesign idea in Naughty Dog games is in any way fresh or innovative, because they have a working formula that they know the masses will gobble up, very similar to Ubisoft (in fact worse than Ubisoft, not even Ubsoft games have mechanics this basic), and I for one have no respect for that

    The border around your windows are so precious. Could that format be an EZA staple? Looks like a Christmas card from my aunt and uncle.

    Such a strange start, but really chill, and deep.
    For saying opinions that others don't like, I notice that when I say "This section has a problem that is indicative of why I didn't enjoy this experience enough to recommend it globally. " it usually helps to turn the argument back into a discussion when all else fails...

    The only way to make us feel better after 2020 is to bring Kyle back :P

    Gotta love the Kyle and Ian combo.
