Initially I felt uncomfortable with the way we were treating Hello's new game. I think it's fair to say, while Hello has been around these parts for over a decade, rating a game based off "well you should've improved, now you are just trolling" attitude is going about it all wrong. (I know I'm paraphrasing but that's the gist I've got) It's like saying to anyone who has been doing any type of skill, and telling them at any moment, "Why are you not good yet?" or "You aren't doing a good job, you must be joking."
This isn't right. It doesn't account for anything else Hello might be going through--And this is absolutely not grounds to harass anyone for.
I think the better way to go about this is to make more constructive criticism about the game's core and intention. Perhaps this isn't for you or me, but rather the person who likes Bowsette and wants to play as the Princess. It might sound odd to you, but people are most definitely weird creatures and like this type of stuff--And this is not something you shame them for. Whether it's for Bowsette or mixing Anime into Mario, the bottom line is it's different--This should be embraced. This should be celebrated. This is such a difficult and off-putting time in everyone's lives that it's not worth the agony to harass a character or the person holding up the art for that character. Please be decent.
To note: I did not actually play the game. I've only seen some screen shots. I only read a couple reviews and the thread showcasing the game. I just don't think anyone (including Hello) deserves the flak they get.
EDIT: I'm going to confront this post and have it evaluated by staff. I was bit unclear with my intention with this post and now that I'm reading the future posts below it, it's sort of making me feel the issue was solved before I posted... The arugment sort of devolved later but I really don't think I helped with anything... so I'm just gonna go away from this thread.
