down votes I don't care about. what depresses me is how extra, obnoxious and angry people have become when it comes to new titles.
we can't just say "I don't know if this game looks like its for me." any longer. we instead have to go full rage-nerd and call for the fall of video games and the end of the universe when a game doesn't appeal to us.
articles like this keep that toddler-tantrum response normalized and I dislike it. I dislike it very very much.
preaching to the choir man. I got ripped apart a few months ago for my incredibly hot (apparently) take the Starfield was an okay game.
People were just loving the bandwagon they were on, telling everyone the game sucked, it was trash, that Bethesda was dead. Meanwhile I was ... playing the game. And you know what? It was fine. It wasn't amazing, it wasn't revolutionizing the player experience, but I had a decent time in it. Mechanics weren't perfect, it wasn't the absolute best game I've played, but I got my money's worth with it.
That's what I hate. Nothing can be "okay". It's either Red Dead 2 levels of perfect - or absolute garbage. It's either the best game they've played or the developers didn't even try.
Then they wonder why companies aren't willing to go out on a limb and try new things.
