I've heard people in real life, who are presumably not marketers.

I had too much optimism for MN9.
Hopefully, it will be good, in February.

I am a supporter of E3 hype-trains. I love watching the press conferences and making fun of them with a bunch of other dorks in real time.
The opportunity for speculation in the lead up is pretty fun, too.
/v/ is the only place you can escape from the tyranny of hype and enforced positivity
people are sometimes unreasonably critical but that's a thousand times better than everyone blindly buying into marketing and yelling anyone down who doesn't as an over-critical jerk

Because most people are faggots who can't think for themselves and just blurt out the same old bullshit in an attempt to fit in.

Basically what this guy said, which Reddit is a perfect example of.

>Sometimes
Anon please. You can go to Reddit for blind hype, and you can go to /v/ for blind criticism. You just have to pick your poison.

Undertale has a 95 on Metacritic (or a 94 now, maybe) and it broke the fourth wall in more ways than any game in recent history.
It also did so in different ways from other games (remembering things across resets, etc...).
However, most here now call it indie trash. I don't fucking get it. Is it not allowed to be good because it's indie?
Was Braid not good?
Were Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac not good?
Was Shovel Knight not good?
Is Rocket League not good?
You can name any game you want and people will find a reason to shit on it.
