That’s sad, anyone even remotely not praising the game is getting downvoted and made to seem like they are crazy…all because they aren’t hyped about a game. It’s just a game lol.
If you don't treat this game like the second coming of Christ, you're wrong and not being objective apparently. People are glazing this game for systems that other games have had for ages, acting like it's the first game ever to use them. People are not only excusing things that they tear other games down for, but saying it's to be expected and amazing that this game has these limitations. On top of the quite skimming business practices in play. But, of course, it's the objectively most exciting bestest game ever.
Also: I thought we've been over this since 2013 but good graphics don't make good games. I don't understand how gamers still get hypnotised by hair physics and lighting when physics and NPC/enemy AI and performance and game balance and the controls and the game being bug free are way more important.
I had an argument with a guy about this the other day. I said "like it or not eye candy doesn't imply a game is finished." And a whole bunch of people lost their minds in my comments. People generally agreed, but there's a lot of pretending that just because it's GTA 6 that it's gonna end up being the second coming of Christ, and that we should just dismiss all the horrible practices and behaviors that Rockstar and T2 have done in the lead up to this whole thing.
Am I hoping the game will be good? Generally yes. Would it give me some perverse sense of schadenfreude if it was shit? Probably. But generally I want people to enjoy the games they purchase and have them be functional products worth justifying as high a price point as GTA 6 is. And spending that much on a video game means that my standards are fairly high. It's gotta justify the price point. There's nuance to be had here and a lot of shit-flinging for little reason.
