It's not even the fact that it's being released during this time. It's just that when gameplay screens first came out, everyone was saying things like "DO WANT" or "I can't wait for this game to come out"

Now, everyone's saying that "it'll be meh" "it's too generic" etc. Just because bigger games are coming out right now doesn't mean the quality of this game goes down. And at the same time, it may have lost it's buzz, but again that doesn't cause its' quality to go down. Yet everyone assumes that over the time, it's only gotten suckier, yet the formula from when they first saw the game is the same, just with more polish
