I can't agree with some of the stuff y'all saying my opinion hasn't budged since I played it last september. P5>P4>>>>>>>>>>P3.
There's no real backlash per se, it's just that some people that don't like it much that now beat it or not are now commenting on it. I'd bet the majority of users moved on already having sung it's praises.
I never get when people act like the period after release is when the "real" reviews come out. Like the majority of people didn't play it, beat it and moved on already.
The user score is still consistently higher than most games that came out this year that also had "backlash" e.g. Nier, Zelda. Just the internet being Internet. Still a GOAT.
It's like going, "those guys who played RE4 in 2005 have no idea what they're talking about, the players in 2006 do." As if to say those who played it at launch were clouded/blinded by hype and their own judgement are faulty and it's only those unaffected players later who truly know what they're talking about. As if people should reconsider their stance on the game
It's why I hate when gamers say something is overrated.
It's like a way of marginalizing the opinions of others. Cats forget that a game's quality is a subjective rating that is determined by the experience of the players. If it isn't someone's cup of tea, that's fine and bringing up valid critiques is too but claiming an entire fandom is wrong is just fukking stupid because it's praises came from those same people. A vocal minority that's now bringing up things they don't like/disappoints doesn't override the majority opinion.
I already discussed my thoughts on the dungeon/slice of life gameplay ideas plenty of times so this post isn't really a dismissal of yours.
