That’s pretty much my point.

I appreciate your time to write all of this out.

Not everyone needs to write up a critical essay to be relevant.

I don’t think anyone’s saying poor graphics mean poor game. They’re saying poor graphics means poor graphics.

Not if you’re a consumer. The only cost you need to care about, is what you have to pay.

I don’t think that cost and effort should have any bearing on what criticism should be allowed. Same with whether or not graphics are the focus.

You don’t necessarily need to compliment something before critiquing.

There’s trolling, there’s moaning, and there are people being dicks... but there can also be some pretty decent exchanges, too.

So how do we know this, how is it defined? What quantifies as being a genuine complaint, and complaining for the sake of it? Do you draw the line, is it a line we all draw ourselves, do we make assumptions on this?

it did, usually from some fanboy with a stick up their rear, and more often it was ps2 and not ps1, but i did see ps1 on occasion.

Why are they unnecessary?

Did that even happen? I don’t remember that happening...

Yes, I’m sure those who complain, only do so to complain. As for the little to no justification for the negative comments? Who measures this?

I mean, what we really should do is just shut up and accept things. And understand that the only opinions that are welcome, are those of praise.
