I saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5EzAh7ZkZI this morning and I thought it was pretty fucking funny.
If you guys followed any new on Zelda Breath of the Wild you would probably have seen that Jim Sterling gave the game a 7/10 and people lost their fucking minds. To the point where they DDOSed his site for days about it. I think the outright nonsensical outrage about that review was part of the reason that Sterling decided to completely bail outright on traditional reviewing.
So to keep things interesting, the internet made a fake review on Super Mario Odyssey and have been sharing the screen shot of the 7/10 review on metacritic online to trigger people for the Lol's.
Personally, this is another example of the unnatural attachment people have to games and reviews. This desperate need to insist that other people rated a thing they like as highly as they would rate the thing they like is fucking stupid, and signals a depressing level of infantile mentality amoungst the gaming community.
I have a theory that these reactions stem from people who were so bullied in school that they became almost complete shut-ins. Locking their free hours away in their room to play games or whatever other non-social solo activity for the majority of their childhood that as grown ups, they don't know how to properly interact or react to people. They have a hard time building personal relationships, nor can they reasonably process negative things they don't agree with like game reviews or No Man's Sky.
I get it, I can understand how and why people react this way. I just wish there was a way to fix it. Like a Chris Hanson show "To Catch a NeckBeard."
Chris would show up to an online troll's house and sit them down.
"Excuse me sit down right here. Just...Just sit right there." He would say. "Now explain to me....why are you obsessed with My Little Pony. You're 37 year old, what is this about?"
It would be amazing.
