Xbox says just because you don't like a game, doesn't mean it's a bad game

I mean, that is true. I'm not sure what help it is supposed to post it on your Twitter though.
The creators of Postal said Postal 3 is a bad game and should never be bought. Afro Samurai was pulled from PS4 because it was so awful

Just because you like it, doesn't mean it's not bad. You just have bad taste and you should feel bad for it.

See that works too. Plus I have around 40 years of gaming under my belt, so I might actually know what a good game is, even if I'm not into it..... Just like I know a bad game when I see it.

What a nothing statement, other than looking defensive and drawing attention to negative takes on Xbox games.

I'm sure there are bad games. The statement that "just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's a bad game" doesn't also mean that "all games are good games."

It's just social media engagement farming.

You don't know how social media works? It's just memes or random takes to get discussions going. Don't take it too seriously.
They talking about this one right

Or Marathon. Or Crimson Desert if we are talking about some reviewers.

I mean that's right. A review represents one person's opinion. It's only when you aggregate them that you can start to draw some conclusions. Picking on an IGN review b/c you didn't like the score doesn't mean shit.

I think if you're in a review thread and you say something like "Reminder: just because you're not personally into a game, doesn't mean it's a bad game" then you automatically lose the argument and your opinion is invalid.
 


No reason to have reviews. Games are all good ❤️💕💕❤️



I think a lot of loudmouths forget that the world doesn't revolve around them & most of the attacks on games nowadays are from people who haven't played the game at all & made up their minds to attack them before even seeing the gameplay. Silliest time in gaming history 😂
 
The only time I hear about reviews and review scores is here and occasionally on gaming videos I watch on YT. I stopped going by or even reading gaming media reviews a long time ago. This pic, among other things, shows exactly why.

The fact that most of these folks didnt abandon "critics" and review sites in the early 2000s is mind boggling. What the fuck are forums for? Heck, I stopped taking people's hype as something important as well. Its like people need to be guided what to play now. The reason we even got to this GAAS and 4 Player MP BS is because "muh friends play dem games cuh". People are so tiresome that they cant sit down on the net and do their own research or find something appealing for themselves.
 
They aren't necessarily wrong.
They're not wrong at all, but they also should have known how posting that would look, and they should have thought better of it.

I don't have an issue with the statement, but them having to say it is kind of an embarrassing look for them. Just a weird thing to post, and not a strong looking act in general.
 
What a perfectly wholesome message ..

now let's see how neogaf reacts ...

oh ..

It's not wholesome at all. It's one of those backhanded comments that says someone's opinion is still wrong and we're coming in to let you know that you're wrong if you don't like some game.

If you truly believe this, then don't dare step foot into another negative game thread every again. A game is made with 100% AI assets? Don't be mad or even remotely upset. Just understand that just because you don't like AI slop doesn't mean the other gamers don't enjoy it.
 
Sometimes it does. I don't like Alien Isolation but I don't think it's a bad game at all. Then there is stuff like Dragon Age Veilguard that just blows. Mixtape, which this is probably about, I'd put in the class with Life is Strange and Dustborne or stuff my daughter would play. Those weird teen horror qte movies on Playstation. More "multimedia content you can play in your xbox with a controller" than a video game that you'd play and consider with a rating. David Cage's bibliography. They're like an accessory. Visual novels. The preoccupation with adolescent intimacy present in almost every entry in the genre is also worth making a note of on an actual pad of paper. IGN and all these outlets considering it as potential overall GOTY is just a sign of the times man. Especially this being the best year of the gen so far by a long shot.
