I don't get why I get flack for "repetitive complaints". Nintendo does X. I don't like X and feel that Nintendo needs to stop doing X if they want to achieve Y. Nintendo continues to do X for years and years with, predictably, no improvement in achieving Y. So what am I supposed to do? The complaint remains because the problem is not addressed. For example I would stop complaining about the third party problem if Nintendo FIXED IT!
Because we already know your opinion. We've heard it. We know it hasn't been fixed to your liking, so you don't need to point it out again and again. Once is enough. What does stating the same things over and over accomplish, exactly? Nintendo aren't reading your posts.
What do you do? You complain once and move on.
I would call out anyone for being this repetitively negative, but you're the main person who does it.
And sometimes you guys get hung up on semantics. Well technically Nintendo funded more than one third party exclusive so Ian is wrong! But what is the POINT I was making? Nintendo tried some exclusives but too few of them, though the concept may help if done more frequently and in a more calculated way. So instead of one exclusive Nintendo got two or three. What the hell difference does that make? 1 or 3 or 5 is all way too little of an amount to be effective. You're so focused on trying to find some tiny mistake in my statement that you're completely ignoring the actual point.
One reason this happens is because we've already addressed your points and some people don't feel like doing it again when you repeat them. It's also because you have a tendency to exaggerate how bad problems are and tend to idealise the past as being better than it is, sometimes even twisting facts. That's a bigger deal than simple semantics.
Over the years, some people, including myself, have also given you some advice on better ways to state your opinions to receive better responses, but you seem to just ignore them. So, it doesn't feel like you've been listening to things we say, either. Perhaps you should evaluate how you present yourself and question if it's really the best way. After all, you like to recite majority opinions of games to try and prove points, such as Metacritic, so perhaps you should also listen to the majority opinion of yourself as well.
For the record, I don't think you're a bad person, and you have raised some good points from time to time on various subjects. I even agree with some of the things you've said before. But, it appears that you struggle to understand any perspective outside of your own, and you act condescendingly towards any people and things that you don't like. This, along with repetition, is what I take issue with, and other people seem to as well.
