I hate the word "bandwagon." I hate the idea that if something gets too much hate, people start saying that others hate it just because it's cool to hate it.

  It's not a bandwagon thing. We're allowed to hate games. Sometimes they just deserve it.

How can you determine whether something is a bandwagon exactly? I'm not saying that they only reason to hate it is the "bandwagon", but I'm certain that in many (not necessarily most) cases it is. Especially when  you talk to people and say they hate it even though they haven't played it at all.

But the most important thing is when you do actually play the game to not look for things that justify that hate. When you give it a fair chance and don't like it, fair enough. But when others' opinion have affected you so much that it's all you can think about, then maybe you didn't form that opinion all on your own.
