I just can't

[Pumpkin]

I've tried on its own merits and I've tried on the strength of nostalgia and on neither count does it do anything at all for me. I just don't understand why people love this game so much.

There are many reasons I love this game which will mostly amount to "different people, different tastes," but when things are phrased in this manner it kind of puts me on the defensive because the statement feels more like a judgment rather than an invitation to discuss and try to understand.
