[QUOTE="WAIW"] That you think he can't be considered an idiot, and that it's a fact he isn't one -- "Peter M. is not an idiot, regardless if he thinks so or not " proves my message has been totally lost on you. I'll restate it: whether someone is an idiot or not iis purely opinion. Your own definition allows one to see him as an idiot; if they think he makes foolish or stupid decisions, then he is to them an idiot. It's subjective, and you're "in the wrong" for thinking it's not.ironcreed

No, your message was never lost on me. I just happen to recognize that by the very definition of the word 'idiot' , Peter M. is not one. Someone else's definition does not supersede what the word actually does mean. That is where you are lost, friend. What is subjective is whether you think he is one or not, and as I have stated time and time again, "everyone is entitled to their opinion, but it does not make it true."

Sure, to him it is true, but in reality and by the very definition of the word, it is just not so and you cannot change that. Sure, he is entitled to think so, though. As I have said repeatedly, but I guess you missed that. I am not saying that you cannot be critical of someone either. I am just saying that there is a distinct difference in calling someone an idiot who is clearly not one and being critical of their work.

As an elementary example here, what if I thought Picasso was an idiot because I did not like his art? Sure, I am entitled to my opinion, but does that make me right? Sure, I am right in my own mind, but not so much in reality. In essence, his subjective opinion does not supersede the actual definition and what it means to call someone an idiot, but sure, he can think so all he wants. I just choose to deal in reality and the actual meaning of the word, while still allowing him to have his subjective opinion. Sorry you have issue with this, but it does not make me wrong to call him out on calling someone an idiot who clearly is not one. I never said that he could not think he was one, lol.

[QUOTE="WAIW"][QUOTE="ironcreed"] Then it wouldn't be your definition, would it. If I produced one you could just disagree with it and I'd be wasting my time. [QUOTE="ironcreed"]

He is not an idiot. Of course you are free to think so, despite being dead wrong. What can you do, though? Opinions vary, but facts are facts;)

ironcreed

Well, you are defending someone else who did call him one, so it was reasonable of me to assume you thought so as well. My mistake.

At any rate, my definition is the correct one, which is why I gave it to you. Sure, everyone is entitled to their opinion and are free to think whatever they want about whomever they want. I never disputed that, did I? My only point is that saying so does not make it true and is the sole reason why I called the other guy out on it. Peter M. is not an idiot, regardless if he thinks so or not and that is all I am getting at here.

You know, the only idiotic thing I see is this argument over essentially nothing we are having. What is your problem here exactly? That I called a guy out for calling someone an idiot who clearly is not one by the very definition of the word? Sorry, I fail to see how that puts me in the wrong, sir.

[QUOTE="ironcreed"]

So, he is only an idiot now, but not in the past when he made video games you actually found appealing? Yes, makes perfect sense. ironcreed

That's not even close to what I said.

I never called him an idiot, nor did I say I ever liked his games. Just saying I can't judge his current quality of game design, the original reason a poster called him an idiot.

You could have looked for yourself, but I saved you the trouble.ironcreed

Facts are facts, but whether someone's an idiot is purely opinion.If that poster felt Molyneux made some foolish decisions, cool. It's his call if he thinks Molyneux's an idiot.

And again, I've never called him an idiot.

Anyway, if you think he is, good for you.ironcreed

Unfortunately the only games of his I've played were released long ago and are no indication of his current level of idiocy.

I'm just saying that by definition he most certainly is not an idiotironcreed

Let me see your definition of idiot.

Therefore, there is no stable ground to stand on in terms of calling him an idiot just because you don't like him or his games. ironcreed

[QUOTE="sonicmj1"]

I don't know why Nintendo deserves the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the Zelda series. They've been overpromising and underdelivering ever since Wind Waker. From pointless quest padding (Triforce Hunt, Temple of the Ocean King) to stale design to uninspired overworlds, they really seem to have lost the thread of what made the series special in the past. Why should I continue to believe in them?

Maybe a "wait and see" attitude makes sense, but right now, I trust Anouma about as much as I trust Peter Molyneux to tell me what will be good about his upcoming game.
