This is probably your bias showing. The discussion has been a great deal more nuanced than a "shitpile."
Maybe trying reading a few pages of the 180+
I have been keeping up with it.
For the most part my impression of the thread is it's been:
- fuck! I wanted that game
- this game was niche and wouldn't have sold anyway
- what is a niche game anyway, is Bloodborne niche?
- Bloodborne only sold 2 million totally niche
- if that's niche you guys need to find a dictionary
- Kamiya took time off for mental health
- listpalooza... What games, what games what games do MS have?
- I hope Kamiya is okay
- MS has had practices that are hostile to devs
- Kamiya never took off time for mental health? Insiders lied!!
- how does this bode for Crackdown 3?
- wow this thread is long
- Nephtes is trying to derail the thread
- no I'm not
Also, yes, I do have bias. Scalebound was on my list of most anticipated games.
I pretty much bought Final Fantasy XV because it was on sale and thought it would be a nice placeholder till Scalebound came out.
Horizon Zero Dawn is also on my list of most anticipated games. I'm biased for that too.
What's wrong with bias for a game?
Does that make me a bad person?
22. Behind Dragon Quest 11 and before Shenmue 3.
I used that terminology because Scalebound was changed mid-project to not be a Xbone exclusive.
If you think such posts qualify, then bring it up with a moderator.
I however think your questioning of the legitimacy of this topic is a way to stifle and derail discussion about the topics that have emerged in this thread.
Edit:
And that's basically the confirmation of the last sentence. I applaud your swift resolution of your
cognitive dissonance.
I never questioned the legitimacy of the thread, or at least I don't think I did.
I expressed surprise at the abject length of it given my impression of the lack of excitement for Scalebound.
I was excited for Scalebound.
I'm super disappointed it's cancled.
I am legit surprised this many other people give a shit based on the lack of enthusiasm for the game in both it's announcement thread and subsequent threads that came up concerning it's gameplay.
Please don't suggest that I want this thread shut down though.
