To be honest I wanted to make a post in that thread, but I gave it some thought and realized that I don't really play games that are too complicated, or rather if something is way too challenging I usually drop it. It definitely depends on the level of difficulty for said games, but yeah. I completely agree with you about XC2 though, the battle system for that is crazy and I'm still not used to it despite being halfway through the game (speaking of which I really need to finish it at some point).
I don't think your thread ideas are bad to be honest. I just think some threads gain more traction than others based on people's interests. Or maybe people wanted to reply, but wanted to think about it more and give a more thoughtful response rather than a throwaway post before hitting reply.
Anyway, I'm sorry you're feeling this way and I can definitely relate. I've had a good number of threads made in the past that have just fizzled out. It's nothing against you though. I just feel like a lot of it is trial and error.
(I hope I'm not breaking any rules by saying this, just wanted to offer my input
