Forums and the internet as a whole are for discussion.
Discuss what? We saw a few minutes of context-free footage of a game that doesn't even have a specific release date yet. From what we have seen, I think the game could go either way, but I am at least glad they have decided to try something different instead of doing yet another "boost" game in the Hedgehog engine. I think you seem to feel that I am attacking you personally or even the discussion on this forum, which I thought was clear was not the case. The only reason I laugh reacted at your post was because it came across, to me, as a bit passive aggressive.
"Trying to claim anyone with legitimate criticism is “whining”"
You cannot claim that I was saying that anyone with legitimate criticism is whining, because I didn't specify what comments I was referring to. I didn't have any problems with the discussion here or your comments. I was talking about social media and other forums. I have no issue if people are concerned about the concept of an open world Sonic game, felt some of the animations looked dodgy, are concerned about the world potentially feeling empty or want to point out technical issues like the pop in.
If you want a circle jerk, maybe stay off the internet?
I don't want a circle jerk. Just bored of the tabloid and clickbait-esque rhetoric that has permeated its way onto social media discussions and into the video games online community. As I already mentioned, I am talking more generally and I would wager that if I was discussing this within the context of the general attitude towards Shenmue 3, nobody here would be kicking up a stink
It's a circle jerk in itself as everyone either wanks themselves into a frenzy over what's going to be the next "big disaster" in a self-gratulatory manner (usually, as I mentioned above with Sonic Frontiers, before the game has even been released) or froths at the mouth at the "audacity" of publishers porting/remastering/remaking old games.
There's "legitimate criticism" and then there's just hyperbole and being endlessly negative for the sake of it.
just goes to show how much of a hypocrite you are
I’m not going to apologize for having standards for entertainment I spend my own hard earned money on.
Speaking of self-gratulatory...
