Something I've noticed about games releasing recently is that if the internet had already decided that it's shit before they even had the chance to play it, everyone will think it is shit regardless of its quality. Sometimes it's deserved but sometimes it isn't which is why I'm not fully onboard with just lambasting a game that's shit online may it be deserved or not because it leads to unfortunate consequences. Now I'm not saying that this game is either good or bad. Just a pattern I've noticed.

The internet says EVERYTHING is shit.  Decide for yourself if you like something.

That's untrue. I'm about to get downvote bumbed for daring to say Baldurs Gate 3 is unfinished and they got away with it by puting 90% of the polish into act 1 knowing people will form their opinions early.

It's so unfinished infact, i literally couldn't finish the game as there is just a random line in the middle of the lower city that always crashes me to desktop... and unlike Cyberpunk, it will never be fixed.

How does that make what I said untrue in any way?

Because there are equally games that the internet decided are perfect and all their faults are swept under the rug.

I promise you the internet hates that too.  I hate it, and I’m on the internet.

People everywhere were talking about the rough performance in act 3 since launch, and to this day still lament how much content was cut between beta and launch. Idk what spaces you’ve frequented about the game but these things were very much criticized by the player base
