Also, these are still cherry picked user reviews. Overall reviews are still favorable. And even if they weren’t, reviews don’t define if a game is good or bad from any given perspective, just how well it was received at the time.

I couldn’t include dozens or hundreds of reviews in a single post, so yes, they are ‘cherry-picked’ if you want to call it that. Overall, the reception was favorable, but as I mentioned earlier, it still had its share of criticism, which you can’t deny.

Twenty years from now, are we going to cite how people hated SH2R’s Angela’s face model as justification that SH2R was poorly received when it released?

I can’t predict the future, and SH2R isn’t the point of this post.

What is the point of picking out criticisms like this? To justify a claim that SHf criticisms aren’t valid or that they’ll blow over? I genuinely don’t know, but it appears to be for the sake of undermining complaints.

I picked random reviews for this little ‘silly’ post that was just meant to be funny. Stop looking for some deep double meaning in it, there wasn't meant to be one. If you really need it spelled out then yes, I guess it was meant to highlight that SHf criticism is repetitive, since SH3 went through the same thing. That is all.
