Because people are monkeys. The reviewer says it’s trash, everyone says it’s trash, reviewer says it’s good everyone says it’s good.
It sucks really because there are a lot of ok games out there that aren’t all that bad, they aren’t great games but they by no means deserve the rep they get as a bad game.
Just because a game lacks originality doesn’t make it a bad game, it makes it an unoriginal game but not bad. That game is probably still going to be fun regardless. Same with games that are overhyped before release, EG cyberpunk where the community get it into their head that the game will be something way bigger than it was ever actually going to be, the game was still decent, buggy as shit but still fun.
I also don’t like how a good game with decent developers who have had their hands forced by shareholders to add a battle pass, and yet the developers still somehow managed to push back just enough to make sure the battle pass was only cosmetic and not pay to win like the shareholders want, how does that great game get labeled as a bad game? The battle pass isn’t ideal, but if it’s only cosmetic and doesn’t harm your gameplay just don’t buy it. If it had game changing elements in the battle pass by all means don’t play the game those battle passes actually do make the game a bad game sadly.
Never bought one, I see the appeal in them if you’re planning to play only one game the entire time.
I don’t see a problem with battle passes, so long as it’s only cosmetic items on them. I only have a problem with BPs when they have p2w items on them because that’s then unfair for both the people who don’t want yo buy it and those without enough time to complete it. If it’s just a cosmetic BP then it’s no big deal to those who can’t buy it and although annoying for those who bought it’s still not going to harm their progress if they don’t complete it.
Battle passes aren’t inherently bad, pay to win battle basses are. The cosmetic ones I don’t see a problem with because that’s then, you don’t like it, don’t buy it since it won’t harm your progress in the game you shouldn’t care so much. If you buy it and don’t complete it that’s on you, either shouldn’t have bought it unless you was going to finish it or you should have finished it.
It’s just toxic people. They want to be annoying and the best way to be annoying is to spoil things for others.
Big movie releases are the worst. I’ve given up trying to not see spoilers anymore, it’s too much effort. If they’re gona spoil it let them. Im still gona either like the movie or dislike it regardless of the spoiler.
