I’m so fucking tired of the tribalism around games. (hexbear.net)

I keep seeing the same thing with the GTA VI extended look, and I saw it with Wolverine too.

If you’re not posting “this is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen,” you get treated like you personally attacked someone. Skeptical = hater. “I’m not convinced yet” = conspiracy. Wanting more than a cinematic highlight reel after 13 years, 2 billion dollars spent and charging $80 is “spoiled.”

You can be hyped for a game or think it looks good and still not like parts of i, but somehow being Skeptical gets treated like a personal attack or a conspiracy. As if raising an eyebrow after 13 years, 2 billion dollars spent, 2 delays and charging $80-$100 is “spoiled.”

It’s gotten to the point where you have to be either fully riding or you’re the enemy

Yes, social media is full of ragebait. Yes, some people were going to hate it no matter what. That doesn’t make every opinion fake. High expectations after this long and this much money are not “being spoiled.”

Maybe it's just my bubble, but I haven't seen this, rather the opposite, people very skeptical of both these games. I sure am, Wolverine just looks like another generic cinematic Playstation game, and GTA 6 I still have to see the extended look, but by the leaks I was already disappointed because I expected it to be at least a little bit different given the absurd hype around it.

    TBF they are changing up the grand theft auto part of Grand Theft Auto; instead of walking up to any car and pressing A to steal it, now you’ve got to bypass the security on it, which ranges from simple wire hanger to unlock the door and then hot wire for junkers, up to various flavors of low jacks that need to be bypassed or removed on the ultra expensive cars.

    If they did some story stuff and had mechanics concerning with trying to do crime (and anything else) under mass-surveillance technology that's started infecting every aspect of life, I could see there being some intrigue to the game. I assume there won't be though.

    Oh cool, I just watched the extended look and honestly I liked it a lot. Some parts were too much like GTA 5 for me, but other than that I really liked it, the few stuff I saw from the leaks made me worried before. Still not fucking worth $80-100 dollars, but at least I'm interested now.
