Re: Positive comments inside

In Response To: Re: Positive comments inside (Avateur)

: It's definitely easier to be critical in a negative way, especially when the
: thing that you're being critical about is filled with many, many problems.
...
: Why is it easier to be negatively critical? Because sometimes the negatives
: are so glaringly in your face on the most basic of levels that it shrouds
: the good in a mist of failure.

See, that's what I'm talking about... all the stuff you rant about in your reply is stuff that is an obvious issue to you. Clearly, it's not an issue to many others, at least not to the abhorrent degree that it is to you. It's not like "the menu doesn't work - I can't start a new game" which would affect everyone. It's issues with the game that you care about more-so than others, to a degree that becomes an effective deal-breaker, for you.

So it's easier for you to rant about what you dislike - whether you actually (consciously or not) hope they improve on the issues the next time (constructive) or you just want to make your voice known and with no intention of buying into the next release, only care about effectively sullying the experience for anyone and everyone else who may yet enjoy the game, and look do forward to the next release (not constructive).

So yes, it's nice to have positive feedback to counter this rampant negativity (constructive or otherwise :P)

: I'm counting down for amusement purposes.

Good for you. If I buy into something, I'll find a way to enjoy it and be happy (not at its expense), rather than going in with a critical mindset.
