I agree with you 100%, and it seems like he is pushing what he thinks the game should be on you instead of you taking your idea and developing it yourself. I mean, feedback about some things is fine, but if he's telling you that you shouldn't do things because it's risky or other developers wouldn't do it then that's a laugh ha. Especially since this is your first game, even if some things could do with a Rethink, that's part of the process aye? :)
I really like this quote from a lecture i heard ( more of a paraphrase )
"It doesn't matter if you fail. Because if you do, you will learn something you couldn't have learned any other way".
Good luck with your project :)
