Another Game, Another Internet Hate Bandwagon

The game has more than 15,000 negative reviews on steam, it's not like metacritic, you need to buy the game to post a review. Just a food for thought.

And? Some of them are complaints about technical problems, not with how good or bad the game is overall.

Also, it is possible that they are simply riding the hate bandwagon. People on the internet told them it's bad, they expect it to be bad and they start playing by looking for things to verify that it's a bad game.

It's like watching a tv show and have no problem with an actor until people start hating on him and then all you see is how bad his acting is. Or, a closer example, the internet hating on The Big Bang Theory, but you haven't watched it yourself. When eventually you do, you go "laugh track, I knew it. This tv show blows". Whose opinion really is it if you're easily influenced by others but won't admit it to yourself (speaking in general of course).

Just some more food for thought.

I alway find the idea of preconceived notions interesting. How people are "wired", and how it may affect them going into a movie, game, or a book. I have personally found that it's almost never the notion, but the product in question. Although sometimes I wonder if it's possible for people to actually enjoy dislikling or hating something on a level the exeeds the norm. I think we have all had our "so bad it's good" moments. For me, those moments never happen with games. Only TV and movies. A broke ass game is a broke ass game. Regarding MNS, I have the much more stable PS4 version, and have yet to play it. It sounds like it deserves the negative reveiws and fan backlash for launching as it is on PC, and to a lesser extent for a few features promised ( repeatedly )that never materialized.
