You don't know if the game is bad or not, neither does anyone else. So some people will buy it and find out. The rest of us will hear from those people about the game. No big deal.

So how is this gen so bad? People buying a game based on "hype" since nintendo started making games and consoles. How many people within a fanbase will buy a game because of it's name without knowing if the game will be bad or not? Zelda, halo, fallout, elder scrolls, cod, uncharted, mario kart, final fantasy and many more. The only reasons why people are giving this game so much crap is because it's a new IP and it's exclusive. 


Exactly...its hard to know how the game will turn out, which is exactly why preordering sight unseen is ridiculous. Why not just wait until after it releases to actually hear more impressions and be able to create a more educated decision? These statements are largely about the destructive nature of "preorder culture" and the bullshit that surrounds it...seriously, pre orders are ridiculous.

Also, your last sentence is pure bullshit. There have been plenty of times plenty of people have cited plenty of issues they had with the game, none of which having anything to do with the fact that it is a new exclusive IP...

PS: So many people in this thread are complaining about the "hate" this game receives, without realizing how they are practically begging for more people to jump in and explain why exactly they dislike the game. Quit making silly statements like "Love how much effort people put into hating this game before its even released. Same people that line up to buy cod every year" and maybe people will stop feeling the need to explain how full of it some of the defenders of this game can be.

I'm more or less neutral on pre-orders. I will pre-order some games if I'm sure they will turn out great but I don't for the most part. I think that it's worthless to debate on pre-orders because you can simply just pre-order what games you want or don't. If more people are on the don't pre-order side then companies will respond to that and adapt. 

To the bold part, the game isn't even out yet and people have plenty of issues? It's not out yet. As in the finished product isn't out yet.  I still think that many of 'em are being harsh because it's a new IP but just won't admit it. Some people are hastily cherry picking crap excuses for reasons not to buy it.  Their "issues" are groundless until the game is released. It's pure speculation. If you or anyone else has issues with a released game then I'll lend an ear to listen but before it's released? Hell no.

I'm not saying the game is good or bad until I played it which alot of other people on this thread and in general aren't doing. Hence why I'm defending it and taking a "Let other people buy it and see" approach. I'm not gonna fault someone for being the first to buy the game.
