Ok that's fair, but everything you said beforehand said otherwise. Hence my response.

Well two things:

1) I agree with you. You should stand behind your arguments. My point was a bit different. You write like a game is factually bad in that it is objectively bad. Like when I finish reading one of your last gen-zeroes articles, it seems to me that you think these game are straight bad games and shouldn't be lauded at…

Well let me start off by saying that talking down to someone about something they didn't even say just makes you look stupid.

There's a fine line between resolve and ignorance...

I think there's two things that hurt your image.

I think the reason people aren't as hyped as much as they used to be with previous console launches isn't because of the lineup, but because the graphics aren't as big of a jump.

Plot twist!

See my reply to the other dude. (japanophile i think)

That's reasonable. First impressions are hard to get over for anyone.

I can't really say. I've never been to Dallas. I mean yeah the stereotypical ones exist, even here, but most I've seen aren't all that bad. My friend lives in the major hipster area here (Chicago) and just listening to them, it honestly isn't usually that bad. I also used to go to a major art school here, which was…

Because hipsters have become a much more varied subculture. They tend to like the same types of music, dress the same, hang out in the same places, etc. However, as the subculture grew, so did the mindset of those within it. What you described is how most hipsters thought and acted when it first became a thing, but a…

Actually he did argue to the original statement. You originally called the Yakuza guy a hypocrite, and he was arguing against that. He argued that Yakuza doesn't even let you kill NPCs which is a very valid argument against him being a hypocrite. The fact that you can't kill them at all means that Yakuza doesn't…

Well you have to remember that outlets are made up of multiple people. The person raving is often different from the person critiquing.

Because that's only a stereotype of hipsters. I know some "hipsters" and they really aren't like that at all.

And you completely ignored every valid argument he did make.

The plural only implies that there are multiple consequences, not multiple contributing factors. Ultimately a consequence is a consequence. They will vary in how much they effect anything, but it really boils down to something negative occurring.

To continue that very quote:

Ah, well you didn't mention anything about it being a combination. No offense, but you just said they were wrong and claimed it was some other reason. It came off as you felt it was purely the reason you stated, hence my comment.

You can restrict it to certain people. So only certain friends will see your real name, while everyone else will see your PSN name.
