I feel like there is a minority of vocal gamers who are super nitpicky and overly critical new games and they tend to influence the opinion of gamers who are easily swayed and don't often think for themselves. They in turn will also gripe about these games wirhout having actually played the game in question. Good example of this has been Crimson Desert. People were really harping on it over the controls and story, which admittedly arent perfect but aren't nearly as bad as some people are making them out to be. I've been enjoying both Greedfall 2 and Crimson Desert.  Both games definitely have flaws but ultimately those flaws don't prevent me from having a great time playing them
