Well, nothing new. MS exclusive games are always underrated.
And Sony exclusives are OVERHYPED AF! And so damn overrated. It’s ridiculous.
well that's somewhat true I guess... we live in a world where most games are just mediocre, but some are held up like they are some sort of god like creation, and some get tossed aside.
when in reality most modern AAA games such massively in one way or the other, and usually when a game sucks at presentation is gets really low ratings, and when it sucks at gameplay but is extremely good looking and impressively motion captured it will get praised to the havens even if it is an extremely shallow game in every way.
the there are games that get praised because they are actually really good but should be the baseline by now, instead they are the above average game that only rarely releases these days.
Jedi Fallen Order for example... I like that game more than I should because I am used to so much worse that it feels better to me than it should, same with God of War... that game is so average in every way but because most games are just so much worse it seems to be better than it is IMO.
