I don't take vgc seriously anymore.
Since I've been here, I've read this exact thread a million times about games like demon's/dark souls, journey, la noire, tactics, valkyria chronicles, monster hunter, catherine, persona, dota etc etc etc

EDIT: I haven't played it yet, but when I hear vgc complain about how a game shouldn't deserve sales/hype/laud because it isn't actually a game, or even moreso because it's boring, I've learned to ignore it.

It's the contrarian opinion the internet has made a thing of. Or rather the posting of contrarian opinions to a public forum.

Generally it's used more often for reviews written by reviewers who want their fairly irrelevant review to stand out from the general consensus, but in forums it's typically used to stir up arguments with the intent of creating a unnecessarily long thread.

Of course nobody is obligated to agree with general consensus praise.
