Evening.
Another busy Saturday, but made nachos for dinner, so all good.

Afternoon all ... bit of a grey day here in Greendale, at least Jess doesn't mind grey days as long as they are dry!
Guess it's safe to walk the Hallowed Halls of Freeolaland now, all seems calm and serene ...
... by the way, my new TV (bought last summer) isn't 4K chas, so your dad is obviously a technophile ;¬)

"900p and flat graphics just doesn't cut it as far as I'm concerned; call it a "style" all you want, it still looks ropey.
Wasn't anything flat about it when I was playing. Looks wonderful, like a Studio Ghibli movie. "
There you go. Maybe it should have ended there.
You really want to do this?
"Was it called Ocarina of Time? Breath of the Wild is none of those things."
Your first "statement of fact" in response to my initial statement of opinion.
Plus, why not finish your "self quote", or would that reinforce what I said?
"Oh and pc gamers are still 1080p too." Contentious. To which I responded "...as far as I'm concerned...". Again, opinion in opposition to contentious "fact".
Give it up, for God's sake. Stop arguing the toss, it won't change what I think.

1) I AM calm (not sure what gave the impression I wasn't, my responses have been perfectly lucid).
2) Every statement you've made is pretty much "yeah but..." suggesting that you wish to change my opinion and argue a point, regardless of my insisting that I am not at all interested in changing my opinion several times.
3) You were making wider and wider statements in an attempt to (apparently) change my opinion, and adding spurious "facts" to enforce your statements.
4) If you were simply stating your own opinion and not trying to change mine, the response would have been along the lines of "Fair enough, but I like it", not "Well, so and so says this, and "experts" say that, and Shall I compare thee to a successful console from 10 years ago". Pointed argument, that's called.
5) Several times I have said it is my OPINION, and that I have NO URGE to argue, and NO INTENTION of changing my opinion, and yet you still continue to throw "Yeah but..." into the mix. I'm not sure where "I don't think that..." is unclear in any way, and I'm also not sure where "End" is unclear.
6) If your initial response had been as simple as " I love the visual style of BOTW and I love what Nintendo have done with a new twist on gaming." this all would have been done 18 posts ago.
So Just to clarify: My opinion. End.

Calm down, I'm stating my opinion and was showing that I'm not alone in sharing that opinion. When did I say you weren't allowed one?
As I said, I love the visual style of BOTW and I love what Nintendo have done with a new twist on gaming. I didn't ask you to like it at any point in time, did I? The Switch is great and up-to-date tech that is perfectly suited to the current gamer in my opinion.
