Like, it's one thing to be discussing it and it comes up. That's fine. But like the tweet that caused this topic/discussion? That's definitely unnecessary. It's intended to provoke/belittle people. There's no reason to just tell somebody "How you do this is dumb and wrong" out of nowhere if it's something subjective like this. There are plenty of things we think but shouldn't just outright say to people.

As one of the people who says that using rewind/save states is (generally) not beating the game, it's not about feeling superior to others. It's more about respecting people's accomplishments. I'm specifically referring to people that feel the need to tell others "You didn't beat the game, you cheated," which I believe isn't you. That's where the whole "superiority" issue comes in. If you can just ignore it/not care, or atleast keep it to yourself, then yeah, there's nothing to it. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

To be fair, the mines show that they can and probably would design dungeons in a way where you don't really have the room to avoid them in certain spots.

No, not at all. It's saying it's a VALID way to play, since the initial argument is specifically that it isn't. Defending yourself isn't belittling the other side. If you walk up to a group of people watching anime and go "Watching anime is for gay nerds and makes you less of a man," they aren't then belittling you if they go "No, it doesn't make you a gay nerd or less of a man." --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

One side is specifically going to the other side and saying "Yo you didn't really beat the game because you used rewind." The other side isn't going to the first side and going "Yo I beat the game with rewind and you have to acknowledge it and lick my balls." This didn't start because somebody forcibly made Mike Matei watch them beat Zelda 1 with rewind while shocking him with a taser every time he tried to look away. This started because Mike Matei specifically felt the need to attempt to belittle other people. It's a specific case where one side is trying to assert their superiority/opinion over the other side when it wasn't asked for, while the other side is defending themselves when they shouldn't have to in the first place. As for the rest, is it not natural for people to want to defend themselves when they've randomly been attacked or belittled, or when they see somebody being attacked or belittled? --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

I've even seen people who aren't bothered by it admit that that there are reasons why it's a legitimate complaint. I've seen people bash/boycott things for much pettier reasons without this kind of resistance from the fanbase. It almost feels like they're saying "it's Pokemon, shut up and enjoy it," which to me is much worse than "I'm not going to play it because they removed something important to me." I think it's because a lot of people that whine about the Natdex being gone are kinda insufferable about it. They say Pokemon is "dead" and anybody buying it is "cancer" and blahblahblah, and then nitpick every single thing just to try and argue that the game is objectively garbage. Thus, a very vocal, toxic part of the community blew up a legit complaint into something ridiculous that people are just much more likely to roll their eyes at. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

If you think cheating in a game is totally fine and you consider it beaten proper, all the power to you. I personally like a challenge in my games, and wouldnt consider a game beaten if I cheated. But theres no gate keeping or refereeing going on. I mean you're literally calling it cheating and making it a big deal that the person "cheated" by using rewind/whatever, when it's an option that was included with the game itself and not the player actually using some kind of cheat device, so you very clearly are trying to gatekeep and "referee" because you're constantly belittling everyone else. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!
