@fruitcocoa: It's all clickbaity bs, the constant social media bandwagon of hate is great, all games suck when they come out...not just a bit of a problem here or there, no their trash. You'd think Fortnite was a dot on the screen the way people go on about how its so only for kids and is so bad, yet it has tons of modes, tons of free outfits, free game updates, the game is catered to beginners and experts, hasn't been this build athon for years that everyone complains about unless you want it to be. Shooting improved. Then you have people screaming to the moon COD is bad, Battlefield is BAD. you gotta remember some people are just playing a game and really have no affinity to its series so your taste may vary. The best option, I've seen what makes these people clap, and if you also dont care for what they clap for, why care for what they hate.
Also future guess, Halo has stayed under the radar and it seems it will somehow go from looking like the hated game during previews to the most liked shooter by virtue of people not playing it for a while and it going back to basics. Much like the fever for COD when it went back to WW from Future stuff. Now that COD and BF are kinda the same feelings from their prior entries and the fight on COD vs BF is ehh...Halo will sweep in and mop up competition.
Twitch and social media on games has become less about a game being fun and more about how it's marketed and the take on whether the political and social climate surrounding a game is good and I hate it. NO site is above this from what I've seen with plenty of opinions on a final game movie tv show or book falling into whether it did what I WANTED and not whether it did what it set out to do and if I enjoyed what it set out to do or if you as an audience might. It's all due to the move to influencers and less about discussions on how we enjoyed a game. They influence you to get a game and whether you will like it. Someone telling you over and over how bad something is and all the issues even gripes you don't care about or are nitpicky or have nothing to do with the game, leak into your head and make you dislike things sometimes. Doesn't help when people can use that SLOW-TALKING British voice and make youtube "essays/case studies" on why your favorite new hotness is flawed and you should rethink liking it since they're more informed than the person who just says a game or thing is trash and moves on. They both suck. RANT OVER
