Subject: Is criticizing a game bad?

It's a'me, Sesto

Whenever I see someone criticize a game that quite a few people like (mostly Halo 4 atm), I always see people posting "quit yer whining".

Of course, there are posts that contain nothing but "Halo 4 is suckzor becuase it is halo of cod duty!", but even people who go into detail as to why they think the developer did wrong, there are still people who just post ignore everything they say and post "stop whining".

Why is it that criticizing a game is seen as bad? Should we accept everything a developer does, and never complain?

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Because people who automatically criticize the game are labeled as haters who always find things to hate.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

You look around.You fire your weapon before you realize.
Its just me. I fall and you walk up. You cry why.
When i pop up. You look at me in wonder. I say,"ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL."
You bend to my will and go to a cliff, walk off, and fall.
The last thing you hear is me stating as fact,"All will fail the battle of life, you just went early"

Criticizing is only bad when the reasons are retarded.

Sometimes I am tempted to quit gaming. I can no longer play without seeing ponyphags, horrendously bad teammates and mexicans.

Gaming community, I want you to know that you suck.

That is, of course, assuming the developer's site doesn't just snuff out any kind of rational thought.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

It depends on if you're a good or bad critic.

But that's 343. No one cares about them.

Not at all. With no criticism, nothing ever improves. You have no motivation to get better if you have no feedback.
