Itagaki: Devil's Third is getting criticized because it's innovative

I am really baffled at how vehemently people defend this game.

What am I missing here? What little I played had a choppy framerate, unresponsive controls that made aiming a chore, Uwe Boll calibre characters/VA/storytelling, graphics that wouldn't look out of place in a PS3/360 launch title, shallow combat mechanics...

I don't get it, I really don't. What do you guys see in it?

some people like to lie to themselves, especially if they dropped 50+ on a game, they not about to admit they got bamboozled

Some people feel the need to defend something that they have invested, and they can even convince themself that it is good. Otherwise they will have buyer's remorse.

 

I have not played Devil's Third, so I cannot defend or criticise it. However, I will likely buy it on the cheap so I can play it with some friends over a few drinks for a laugh.

 

I have bought some terrible games, and I have personally ridiculed such games. The buyer's remorse denial does not take hold of everyone, as different people can react to different situation in differing ways. Also, some people may actually genuinely like the game. Some people simply have different tastes. Some people also get a kick out of torturing themselves. To this day I cannot fathom what people see in Final Fantasy XIII. The thought of playing that game gives me anxiety.
