Why is there so much cynicism and negativity in the gaming community?

Well... Maybe if the publishers didn't over hype and in certain cases, lie to us, then maybe, our expectations wouldnt be off the charts...

Like, if you look at Nintendo for example, with all their games, they show gameplay running on the console and they show extensive amounts of gameplay so that by the time it comes out, you know exactly what you are getting vs say Ubisoft with their watch_dogs downgrade was like, you set our expectations to a very high level and then you couldn't deliver so of course the game will be disappointing to us no matter what. Sure, the game itself may still be fun and the graphics still may look great but it still doesnt look as great as what you set our expectations to

So, overall, I think its mostly well deserved cause companies need to learn a lesson which they refuse to do

I mean, if a lot of gamers aren't happy with their game, then they clearly have the right to complain cause at the end of the day, we spent the money to buy these games and we worked hard for our money but they clearly goofed on their part and delivered us an experience which was different to what we perceived to be true. So, if thats the case, its their fault for not providing us with enough information to show us how the game really is...

Hence why, if you look at the big games released in 2014, there has hardly been any complaints about Nintendo games and they were more so praised by the players and reviewers because Nintendo showed us exactly what to expect vs other companys that goofed somewhere along the line
