"What the fuck am I doing with my life? I am harshly criticizing Ocarina of Time on the internet. I'm gonna get CRUCIFIED!"
"You expect everyone to love you because you are who you are — part of the illustrious Zelda lineage. Nothing could possibly be wrong with you! You look just like a Zelda! But you’re not one. You’re a pampered, doughy snob wearing nice clothes expecting to graduate scot-free because your daddy is an alum. Why would you need to improve? Why would you need to get any better? Everyone just agrees with your shitty ideas because you're a Zelda. FUCK YOU Skyward Sword. FUCK YOU!"
— Egoraptor, in Sequelitis - ZELDA: A Link to the Past vs. Ocarina of Time
"While the phenomenon of placing Generation 1 above everything else is nothing new, when the 2007 live-action movie was in production, the fandom experienced an ongoing influx of mindlessly angry "Generation X" members who seemed to regard Transformers not as a still-evolving cultural institution and business property, but as a sacred relic of their halcyon, Reagan-era childhoods."
"STOP, before you say something you might regret! Don't diss Ocarina on the internet!"
— Dave Bulmer, brentalfloss's Ocarina Of Time With Lyrics

"I have been LetsPlaying video games since 2006, I have NEVER never come across people getting so upset over a fucking video game, in the comments before. Like, personally offended, thinking less of me as a human being for my decisions in a video game and that blows my mind."
"I think in all my years of talking about video games, the thing I tend to come down on hardest is when games take shallow gameplay and stretch it very thin over a lengthy duration. Many games, good and bad, are guilty of this. Death Stranding, Skyrim, Shenmue, Final Fantasy, Pokémon, and Animal Crossing. These are sixty-plus hour games that can be mastered in the first two hours of playing. The difference is, if I talk shit about Animal Crossing, Lea will shoot me."

"...let's face it, if you're listed in the credits for Ultima VII you're pretty much immune to judgment for any foible or flaw, no matter how grave. I mean, shit, we overlook Richard Garriott's constant self-insertions."
If there's one thing more challenging, more stressful, more downright intimidating than any single boss encounter in a FromSoftware game, it's publicly criticizing FromSoftware in front of its massive, zealous, some might even say touchy fanbase. Just dare to suggest its work isn't perfect, and prepare to face down a horde of furious Gamers tm, who will shout you down and attempt to bury you."
—Jimquisition, "FromSoftware's Good Grace"
