Yes, I like the game, but good gods, people! It's not worth sending death threats to those who dissent, or the ridiculing of those who have legitimate arguments to the contrary of your own views.

Well yeah, death threats and the like are never acceptable. But welcome to the new-age fandom of, well, everything. If you're in the public eye in any form in this day and age, you can expect to get death threats for literally doing anything-or even nothing. Which is why I kinda roll my eyes when people announce they have gotten death threats over something. Yeah? Welcome to being a public figure in 20XX.

I sincerely hope it loses every GotY countdown this year, not out of any sort of hatred for the game, but for a stark comparison of how people's views are just as ever-changing as they are shit whenever they neglect to use their brains.

I wouldn't hold your breath over that, seeing as BotW is the highest rated game EVER (in terms of most perfects), and one of the highest ever in terms of average score. It'd take a wild game to dethrone it, and there doesn't look to be any on the horizon this year.

The odds of me being unable to do just that actually increase, and I find myself becoming critical of a game, book, movie, or album's flaws that much quicker. I still would have noticed things wrong with BotW in time, but my enjoyment of it would have lasted longer if people didn't do the hive-minded people thing that people often do.

Which is kinda lame of you, honestly. Hating on the thing that is popular for the sake of it being popular, and to be in dissent just to spite others is a silly cliche that you are better than. It makes you no better than the people you criticize for being "hiveminds" in addition, since you're both having a reaction to the game that isn't derived from the actual merits of the game itself, you know?



Random input: I finally found out how to look up playtime on the Switch. I put in 110+ hours into BotW before I laid it to rest. Which is astonishing to me, since while I knew I had been playing it nearly day and night since it came out, it didn't ever feel like that much time had past. Even though I really loved Xenoblade Chronicles, towards the end, some of the things felt like a slog/timesink, where I became aware of the time that was needed to finish up the things I wanted to. I put about 120 hours into that game. But at no point in BotW for me did I feel the time actually passed. Apparently, I was enthralled from beginning to end.
