When you (not you specifically. In this example, it's a ubiquitous online person asking for critique) ask for critique, and then lump it all into hate messages, you didn't want critique. You wanted someone to agree with your opinion.

At least, that was my interpretation, every time I saw it happen online. Very rarely I felt did someone actually listen to the critique and take it to heart.

I also get what you mean about the level of critique. Some cannot put into words eloquently enough to really put forward what they want to say. Sometimes I'm quiet around here for weeks on end, even when there are topics I have a lot of knowledge on, and have a lot to say about, simply because someone got to it first and I'd just be repeating most of it, or I can't really put it into words well enough that I'd bother posting it, so instead of pocket spaghetti posting, I just choose not to.

I agree with Symphony of the Night by the way. As polished and smooth as it is, there are frustrating parts and head scratching parts that could have been better or were just unnecessary, imo. I've played it so much, but I've only ever full 200.6% competed it twice. All 1890 rooms.

For instance, for completionist sake, it would be nice to get a port of the Saturn version, just so that it's not locked to a pricey as hell version that is inferior in slowdown and some quality in certain areas, even if there is a way to play as a whole other character, with whole new areas, that the Playstation version does not have.

It's on my list of yearly play throughs along with Snatcher, Guardian Heroes, Vandal Hearts, River City Ransom, and several others I still find joy in playing through. Even though they're not perfect, anything I say about them, even negative, doesn't pull from it's enjoyment or take away from it's experience as a whole.
