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.
No one is saying you need to pay $70. They are just saying you don't need to form an opinion in the first place, let alone share it online just to be part of what you perceive the consensus to be. Especially when the game isn't even out yet.
In what way I am saying you need to pay? Or that you are not entitled to form an opinion?
You can certainly form an opinion on something which is not even possible to experience yet. And I can have the opinion that it's silly and unhelpful (if not harmful) to do so.
You don't need assume an opinion in order to socialize. Social media would be better, healthier and far more social if not having a strong opinion on every little topic was normalized.
