Quinn hating on the game.

[Vahlnir]

No, I get annoyed when people try to make an opinion about something and try to do it under the guise of he was making informed opinions or assertions to someone with a fairly large following, especially when his reviews will help to inform people other than himself about the game. This is why it is a problem. It's not even down to this game, but me making a general statement that it's a complete and apparent disingenuous thing to do. He didn't go into this with a clear or open mindset, he went in there with genuine and deliberate intent to try and dump on the game.

It has little to do with the game itself and more on the basis of principle, is that difficult for you to understand? This has nothing to do with being part of a cult or trying to be a zealot. He's free to have his opinion to a large audience provided he's not trying to push himself across as though he's making a well-informed opinion, or at least an opinion formed on solid experience - Especially when in reality it is anything but informed. - Don't try and critique something when you have little idea or experience with what exactly it is you're critiquing.

Yep, exactly, and I would feel this way if someone said they didn't like literally anything else without giving something a proper go. I'm not going to attack the guy, but I will say that he went about FF XIV the wrong way. In FF XIV, it's more about the journey than the destination. If someone doesn't like the game, it's fine. Heck, they are also free to give whatever feedback they wish. But they should at least know what they are talking about first.

I should add that I'm really tired of people putting streamer opinions on a high pedestal like they are some sort of god, when they are nothing more then someone who gets paid to play games. While I appreciate Asmond getting more people interested, people like this dude come along, play a shite persona, and people take their word as gold.

Yeah, streamer opinions hold little weight for me. Still, sometimes they make some good points.
