But yeah, once the FFX fodder's out, Seymour's basically guaranteed top 5.

The mighty Leblanc may yet surprise everyone!

You all boil down to the same argument, that the game is a flawless masterpiece and not liking it is wrong.

My point is that everyone in this topic is tripping over each other trying to explain why Biscuit's opinions don't count, and the only commonality between them all is that he didn't like it and that makes him wrong. If he liked it, he'd be welcomed with open arms even if nothing else changed. Your girlfriend didn't play the game, but she still liked it so that's fine. It isn't even a factor, and it only would be if she didn't like it because then she would be wrong and that would be the reason (/excuse) why.

I just want you guys to acknowledge that negative opinions aren't inherently invalid for whatever reason. None of you can seem to get there.

**R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile)

I'm just saying what you guys are saying without the wishy-washy filter over it. If it makes you sound like you're doing everything possible to discount any criticism, it's because you are

---

**R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile)

Well, the only other way to read what you posted is that opinions are only valid if someone goes in as a blank slate with no preconceived opinions one way or the other, and that's really stupid, so I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt with my interpretation

**R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile)

You're right, I should've said "All the people who went in wanting to love it and still loved it by the end are fine, though."

I almost opened the game up to valid criticism if someone went in wanting to love it but didn't like it. Thanks for catching my error

It's less of a 'you didn't play it' and more a 'you made up your mind before you really experienced it at all'.

All the people who went in wanting to love it are fine though

Yeah, people aren't allowed to spend time and energy talking about something as mundane as a video game (unless they like it, then spending time and energy talking about it is fine)

Idk why both you and Biscuit seem intent on using such extreme language

Because that's what you guys are doing. You came out of the game thinking it was a flawless masterpiece and anyone else who doesn't reach the same conclusion must've not experienced it the right way, or they went in with the wrong mindset because of the leaks, or they don't like lesbians, or any of the countless other excuses I've seen to dismiss criticism out of hand.

davidponte's girlfriend apparently only watched him play, do you think he'd tell her that her opinion of it is worthless? Oh, no, she was emotionally invested, it's okay. She's one of the good ones.

Your opinion only matters if you experience the thing in the exact same way I did, going in with the exact same mindset, and come out of it with the exact same opinion as me.

I won't be making any dedicated effort to participate this year but if I see the topics I'll try to keep Rikku and Paine alive through the boots. Next year when Yuna can come back, it's time for YRP! Other than that, I dunno. I feel like I owe Garnet and saving Eiko is always fun. No idea who to nominate.

I've seen a lot of people on Reddit who have decided that the only ones who have a problem with this game are bigots who don't like lesbians. Meanwhile, this sounds like a poorly written excuse for torture porn that examines one of the most basic themes there is with no nuance whatsoever. I hate when legitimate criticism gets lumped in with the worst examples and then discarded.

The place I read a leak summary said it was about the difficulty in stopping the cycle of violence. On the surface I think that's a worthy topic to explore, but this seems like such a needlessly unappealing way to approach it.

Have Joel killed by someone with a legitimate beef, then follow Ellie as she grapples with whether she should even be seeking vengeance or not. There's no need for a new character (especially one whose motivation is that her dad wasn't allowed to cut open an unconscious girl).
