What do you do when the staff hates a game you are playing?

I could care less they're not me so they're entitled to their opinion. Though I will say I get somewhat irked if they like something I don't if only because they talk about stuff I'm not a fan of more.

I'm deep into Nintendo stuff and JRPG's, so having members of the staff dislike or not understand my jams is pretty much an every day occurrence.

But I love the guys to death and continue to soak up everything this site puts out. Turns out you can respect and enjoy the insights of others, even when they're not in line with your own. It's crazy stuff.

Why does it matter?

I get a little annoyed, maybe write a snarky comment, then move on.

It can totally bum me out sometimes - Destiny isn't one of those times (in spite of the fact that I'm loving it), though. Jeff's criticisms are largely spot-on and Brad is into the game anyway - it sounds like Drew is enjoying its gameplay, too, so it's not all negativity.

I find it difficult to listen to the year-end podcasts because it's an exercise in tearing apart and looking at all of these games I've loved with a super critical eye - which is really cool, and it's awesome that Giant Bomb records them, but I have trouble listening to them without starting to feel down or even slightly aggravated.

I leave the game and play another one. LOL.

Poop all over the house

I kill myself.

I think a lot of people choose to gloss over the fact that Dan always explains his opinions. He was angrier than I've seen him during that Metro QL, but he did say that he acknowledges that it's a well-made game, that there's an audience, and that a lot of the problems he was having there was because he wasn't listening very closely. People just heard him say a bad thing and then turned the QL off, when in reality, he wasn't trying to say it was a bad game, just that he didn't like the mechanics of it.

Look for a complex conspiracy system between the game writing industry.
