Videogame 'fans' need to shut up about everything

[RuySan]

I didn't mind Jim Sterling (quite surprising because i find fat people repulsive) but then he made a negative review of Avalanche's Mad Max and I became just like any other rabid fanboy.

I know, right ? Fucking people having opinions, ugh.

I see you're incapable of detecting irony. But there's a hint of truth in my post. Sterling complained that Mad Max was a game he had already seen over and over (e.g. Shadow of Mordor, Batman games). So basically it was a review for whoever already played all those games. I hadn't played either (hate super heroes and nu-tolkien) and loved the shit out of mad max.

That's why the video game "community" or "culture" is pretty much a ghetto. They think games should only serve them. They buy everything that comes out, then surprise! complain about yet another open world/Mario/rogue-lite etc. While I myself am not a fan of the constant iteration on the same damn design approach, for many others it may be something new. Every Mario game is new to someone, every open world game is new to someone.
