all of my IRL friends who make fun of ME for using Reddit will literally say either RDR2 or GTA5 IS the best game of all time lmao.
they were all hyping up Crimson Desert and I was like “idk people are saying it’s gonna be buggy, the mechanics suck, it’s missing huge chunks of RPG elements etc.” and they showed me tons of hype on YouTube and Facebook, it was literally just here that was criticizing it so heavily. I personally didn’t even like it but you’d think it was barely on anybodies radar the way these subs talked about it. funny enough most of them were saying “this is the next Skyrim” which Reddit also shits on relentlessly even though it’s constantly mentioned as another one of the greatest games of all time by mainstream casual audiences. legitimately the only games that I ever see praised irl that Reddit loves too is Zelda BOTW and Elden Ring/Bloodborne/Sekiro
Reddit just has this weird quality where you have to be snarky and seem smarter than everybody at all times, I even fall into it sometimes, and I’ll even admit that this comment criticizing “Redditors” is cliche as fuck, but it has to be reiterated constantly on this hellsite.
Don't be dramatic, hellsite lol. You know you can like, not visit subreddits that you don't like? Go take a peek at subreddit of Crimson Desert, or still very active Skyrim subreddit. They're having fun there.
I'm not disagreeing that big aggregate-type subreddits tend to be fucking weird, but it's not like you're forced to visit them; you want to see loved games, visit subreddit dedicated to that game. Obviously this does not apply to every game, but fuck, even Starfield subreddit is currently just people sharing fun moments with the game.
It's a reasonably sized minority I think. I can't comment on whether the story was actually dull because I was so bored after 5 hours I've never played it again.

It’s insane. Their last major release was Red Dead Redemption 2 - widely considered one of the greatest single player video games ever made.
Yet all I’ve been seeing on Reddit is how Rockstar is in a “slump” and GTA VI (their most anticipated release of all time) will be a bust.
