I think we really need to start having immediately available lists of what other games a person has played/beaten before they can write a review of any game. Like, if all you’ve played is call of duty and then write a review saying dark souls sucks, I’m not going to care as much as if you dislike sekiro after playing bloodborne.
Ha, well the funny thing I noticed is that in that wave of early negative reviews from people rage quitting, tons of people actually do list their “qualifications”, to try and get ahead of the predictable “just git gud” crowd. It’s become a recurring joke now among my friends.
“I’ve platinumed every dark souls, ninja gaiden, getting over it, and even all those impossible games from the NES era, so you can believe ME when I say this game is way too hard. I am SO DONE with this. Not recommended” type of things
But if you go and look at the steam reviews with playtime, almost everybody who left negative reviews around the 5-10 hr mark ended up playing over 40-50 hours lol. I think these people mostly were just binging the game in way too long of chunks because the game is so amazing (like 5+ hours at a go), then getting too fatigued to play properly, then crashing out

It’s such a beautiful game, aesthetically. When you’re fighting well, too, you become part of something sublime.
