Because being negative is seen as a virtue. Like, it's almost like the community has convinced itself that a good critical eye is one that is just needlessly and relentlessly negative. If you've enjoyed something, you are a philistine. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ... Copied to Clipboard!

Honestly it's my same issue with most media criticism nowadays, extending into movies and TV. Negativity is kinda just what most people seem to want. Like you said, it's seen as a virtue. The phrase "I went in wanting to hate this" is very common. --- Not removing this until Mega Man 64 is released on the Wii Virtual Console. Started on: 12/1/2009 http://i.imgur.com/mPvcy.png ...

Critics should be used as a rough guide and nothing more. Just to get an idea of what's going on with the game. It can be useful for objective things like bad performance and glitches. But it's wild when people use it in arguments like they've completely adopted their opinions. So much stuff is subjective. I don't mind watching perspectives I don't agree with though. I just watch people I like and feel they don't have alternative motives to not state their genuine perspective --- Name checks out "I don't wanna be the toughest, I just keep it 100 and think nothin of it"- Black Thought ...

People think cynicism and negativity as a default make you smart because smart people are often cynical and sound negative to them. But the whole name of the game is being cynical about the right things and at the right time. When you're reflexively cynical and do it when it's not appropriate, that's just a different type of being dumb. This attitude exists across many subjects, not just media consumption. I've found it especially annoying in politics and scientific pursuits. --- I gotta be righteous, I gotta be me, I gotta be conscious, I gotta be free, I gotta be able, I gotta attack, I gotta be stable, I gotta be black. ...

i think it's human nature. we listen to people who whine and complain, and are the loudest. people flock to it, watch it, care about it. rarely do we care about what people love. how many "top 50" lists do you praise and don't immediately attack, on your own? there's nothing gained from sharing love. doesn't get view, doesn't get clicks, doesn't make money. --- Disclaimer: There's a good chance the above post could be sarcasm.

I feel like I see excessive positivity a lot more than the reverse, at least on more mainstream websites like Twitter and Reddit. --- http://i.imgur.com/EUkIomS.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

But the whole name of the game is being cynical about the right things and at the right time. I actually think that's shifting. Cause now everyone is so critical, negative and depressed that it seems more intelligent to figure out how to be optimistic and happy. Or Im just projecting, cause I personally feel that's more intelligent. And believe me, that's not flattering to me. Im like halfway there, but god damn can I bring down the positive energy of a conversation as well. --- Name checks out "I don't wanna be the toughest, I just keep it 100 and think nothin of it"- Black Thought ...

i've seen more praise than hate. it seems the only time i see massive hate on some game is after some popular YouTuber(s) hates it. a game like that probably comes out every few months? last one was forespoken idr which game was ok to hate before that tbh --- I'm a Taurus.

oh it was callisto protocol i think but wasn't as hated as forespoken tbh i dont get a kick out of hating on games that are already hated by the majority. better to hate on things like hogwarts legacy and re4 remake imo --- I'm a Taurus. Currently playing: Gothic 1 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Weirdly enough, CE of all places is a good environment to discuss games that people have actually played. They'll talk about positive and negative aspects of games. It's an odd contrast to the bulk of this site It also has plenty of folks that watched a YouTube video and think it's the same. That's usually only with high profile games though --- I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness. ... Copied to Clipboard!
