Why does everyone take what I say in the most literal way possible?
Nobody SAID I did nothing right, but if you list a whole bunch of downsides and not once point out something that was done right, that's not exactly encouraging.
That's content creation for you, no matter how much you fit to people's needs, you're not going to please everyone. What's important is you make something YOU want that accomplishes YOUR goals, the goal of feedback is to help accomplish YOUR goals, not redefine what YOUR goals should be
Nobody SAID I failed, and I didn't say anyone did. I'm saying I TAKE it as failure, if there are so many things wrong with it and there is nothing I did right that is worth pointing out.
People never point stuff that's right, unfortunately.
In summary, Killohurtz's version of criticism is not compatible with the way I take criticism. He puts it right to the point and gets everything that needs to be fixed.
Take it as anything that doesn't get feedback as being good. I'm working on something getting 0 feedback and all the advice is "it's fun" and naturally i'm just wishing someone would get to the point.
I prefer when people say: "oh this is something nice" first, so that I have something to contrast the downsides with. Basically, imagine you're a kid who has a meal he doesn't like. You can deal with it, and you know it's better in the end, but you're still gonna need a sip of milk every so often to get it down, otherwise it makes the experience all the worse.
The analogy doesn't work, you're comparing a finished product (The burger) to something you're still working on, if you were still working on the recipe, i'd probs say "add more salt," or whatever, everything else you'd keep the same but there's no need to say that, it's implied.
Hq, you're one of the most enjoyable up and comers to watch develop on this site who always wants to contribute and work on stuff, but you need to re-evaluate how you take feedback. None of the veterans in the industry got far without hearing what they did wrong in their product, if you can take this on board with your next projects i'd definitely be excited to see them.
