After watching a few streams, I noticed tons of games I figured were fine and had good reviews in the past, now have big groups of people dissecting them as always being bad. Mass effect after andromeda, crash bandicoot after crash 4, MGS after Death stranding, etc.
What games do you think are cool to great. Fine to beloved. Games you just can't wrap your head around others hating so much. I'd include games you think are fine but have vitriol online that the game is poorly designed and just bad.
If you cant think of a game, I'd include other media. I thought ready player one was fine but later learned it's harshly criticized for being badly written. I thought harry potter was cool, but later realized a large majority of people who think it's bottom of the barrel poor writing, and so on.
For shows, I had no idea so many people thought GOT was bad till the final season. I never understood why it would ever get more than passing it's fine, since all the descriptions seem far from mainstream, with all the narrative deconstruction. (never watched it but saw several story summaries and other data.) Then I heard the hate grow after the finale which I assumed would be how viewers always saw the show due to it never really catering to the heroic fantasy were use to in mainstream mass appealing fantasy. Eh, I still think it's cool as well but I'm an easy please. XD.
