Wh. . .aaaaa. . .
I mean, that smack talk COD comparison comes up a lot on GameFAQ's Pokemon section, but except for last year you can almost kinda see why. Fire Emblem, though. . .how. Just HOW.
. . .Maybe all the games he plays either have fairly slow dev cycles and randomly skip generations at will (Metroid), only show up approximately once a generation or system, give or take a game (Pikmin, Smash, Animal Crossing), or released 1-3 titles and fell off the face of the earth (oh, a lot of things). That would explain the skewed perception. His mind is altering time in order to endure the wait for what he actually wants.
And badmouthing games simply because he hasn't personally played them, even going so far as to go full Green Eggs And Ham on an opportunity to try something new and outright refusing to? Yep, sound like the typical "anime" hater to me.
