Genuinely worried about an entire generation of kids who have grown up with an internet where the discourse about a given title is how outraged YouTubers got and what the user review score aggregations were and the actual content of the game is immaterial.

Jesus christ dude art is about more than whether the project was a financial success or how many stars it got on Review Bomber Dot Com.
You haven't made a single material argument against Mirage *as a work,* yet you insist it's a failure. You've got YouTube brainrot.

The ones that aren't... Well, they'll forever ask others what they should think. Too afaraid to bear the responsibility for loving the things they do.
A game I was told to hate is a flop when number low, and that is the punishment for woke.
My dude, why not try to form your own opinion on something?
I found so many games that basically had no score or so few scores that they basically meant nothing. We're all them great? No. Did I play some real interesting stuff along the way? Hell yeah I did!
And aggregated amateur consumer reviews are a toxic wasteland.
Dudes will literally rate something 1 Star cause 'brown guy'.
The reason so many games get 'reassessed' down the line is explicitly BECAUSE the at-the-time reviews were too caught up in open world fatigue, or platformer fatigue, or new console launches, etc.
Like, there's a wealth of late N64/PS1 games that got like 5/10 scores that are part of their current aggregates... because they didn't have PS2 graphics. How could they even?
Suddenly the rise of Trump + Musk makes more sense.
