Either way, that OT is 17 pages of no actual discussion about the game. It's just pages of "I bought it!", "I'm excited to buy it!" or "damn you sony for making a pricing mistake!".

Sayin' that like it's the only outlier.  A lot of official threads on GAF are like that.  You get semi-better game discussion on SA or even GameFAQs cuz they're actually into playing the game instead of bragging about their ever-increasing backlog or discussing the politics of the game without playing the actual game to base a discussion around their arguments.

Edit: Even 22 pages in, people aren't discussing the game!  :rofl

Even when people do get into the games themselves it cycles around the same talking points throughout the thread. The real beauty of the GAF echo chamber isn't homogeneous thought, it's homogeneous conversation. There is zero interest in discussing games (or film, or music a lot of times) beyond established talking points ("TLOU is really emotional!", "Marvel movies are so fun!", "This album is really avant-garde!"). Turns into a bunch of people reciting marketing points and media hype. People get legit mad if you challenge any conventional thought regarding a given game. Like you're personally attacking them for feeling some type of way about a game. I guess the boilerplate nature of AAA game development kind of steers conversation that way, where people really can't have wildly (or minutely) different experiences...but like, we all draw from different backgrounds. We should all have different perspectives to bring to the table. But it never shows.

Well, I guess that's just kind of the internet at large anyway. Not really a GAF specific issue.

Hell, it even happens when you're going WITH the general tide. I remember not too long ago, I was actively trying to discuss why Assassin's Creed 3 was so bad in it's OT, but no one would ever actively try to discuss the why. It was just very superficial "omg this game is awful/buggy" filler and one dude that actively told people with negative opinions to shut up and leave. They really just want to have a feel good groupthink zone with no one trying to press further into any issue. Too busy trying to get others to agree with what you say than trying to actually talk about anything. It's the reason why damn near every community thread gets abandoned after a month.

I always like to juxtapose that with all the "JUST GET RID OF THE NUMBERS ON REVIEWS" caterwauling.

Unfortunately the graphics and setting guarantee that it won't be that bad; at best we can hope for a Driveclub-level response which should still be highly entertaining and meltdown filled.

just make a thread about it asking for someone to make it for you

...that's a minimum of 8 paragraphs explaining why you love the game using emotionally loaded words while throwing in several snipes at the xbox one and xbox one fanboys.  The whole thing must read like a metaphor for longing for a relationship with a girl.
