[quote name='mattBLiTZ']Meh, my theory about people hating Splosion Man is that they fail miserably at the game and get frustrated. The game is quite challenging and the community revolves heavily around speed runs and replaying levels to get better and better at them.
Now plain "I don't think the game's for me, but it's pretty good I guess" opinions are respectable, but I don't see how a game that well made could be flat out hated for any kind of objective reason.[/QUOTE]
I think frustration is a perfectly valid reason for *hating* a game. Games are supposed to be fun. Frustration is not fun. If I was frustrated with a game, I'd likely say I hated it. Now if you say a game is "bad" because you personally have a problem playing it, perhaps then I'd see your point. But "liking" or "hating" a game is such a personal thing, that any reason can be valid.
