Yep.Most accurate statement about how GAF reacts to things
Criticism is vital to the continued success of this medium. .
Yeah but again, was this ever proven? People dogpiling a dev based on nothing more than rumours seem a bit cruel.
But we're usually so nice
This is a bunch of rumors not facts. And yeah a lot of people were saying Sony dropped them because the game must be bad or something to that effect.

It was not, and as the game exists and plays and it's being previewed and it's releasing like next month, it was probably just conjecture.Yeah but again, was this ever proven? People dogpiling a dev based on nothing more than rumours seem a bit cruel.

an OT title in the making
If I was an employee at Gearbox and read GAF I would probably be an alcoholic.
3 of the best games of the past number of years (Zelda, Nier, Persona 5) just came out from studios that had absolutely 0 interaction with this forum or the majority of the English language video game internet
There's just way too much vitriol thrown around like it's nothing unfortunately.
That's the thing, NeoGAF absolutely believes it's above all of this. This is the place for rational, critical thoughts about games unlike those other vile internet forums when the truth is that it really is the same + entitlement because it's hard to register
I didn't follow that, what happened? Edit: Just saw the summary posted earlier. Yikes.I think he's talking about the negative reactions from people when Sony dropped them. And I have to admit it, I fell for the scam talk and believed it at the time.
Apart from Hello Games, which continued a scam post-launchEvery game company confirmed as Scams... until they release!!
Thanks for trying to add the context, hope people will actually check this out instead of continuing the "GAF is so horrible" shtick
Wait so that's what happened?
HA
Breath of the Wild is a massive reaction to the criticism of Skyward Sword
No not really and a chunk of the problem comes from the fact that people actually believe this and then come to spew whatever comes to their head without second thought. NeoGAF is still huge on console wars and more often than not do not really encourage discussion
I'm sure the GameFAQs discussion on his game was 10 times more civil and enlightening than NeoGAF.

From the dev team themselves, not from Aonuma sitting around and reading neogaf to figure out how to make Zelda
According to producer Eiji Aonuma, many of the sweeping changes that Breath of the Wild brings to the franchise are based on the negative feedback Nintendo received from some fans for Skyward Sword.
"A lot of the fans that played Skyward Sword said that they were really bummed out that they couldn't find the hidden element of the game," Aonuma told Polygon. "A lot of the users, when they looked at the map, they said, 'OK, there's these places I can go, but how come I can't go over here?'"

literally a product of criticism
Um, which NeoGAF are you reading? Tongue-in-cheek? Not when it comes to the hype cycle. There are a lot of true believers here and they pull the collective IQ of the site way down.This is definitely a huge eye opener. IMO NeoGAF is largely tongue-in-cheek and hyperbolized, and most users are well aware of the site's exaggerated tone. But I imagine a nervous creative director would take every shitpost personally, and that makes me sad.
You dont even need latter part.

All that shows is that we shitted on the entire team without confirmation other than "A source told me".
Like, if the game comes out, what is going to be the excuse?
This is how I feel.I love NeoGaf and it's my favorite website of all time...
But still....
This is the INTERNET... you gotta have strong skin and remember that almost everybody on the Internet is anonymous and that the tone of a comment can be totally weird and bizarre and harsh as hell sometimes.
And NeoGAF is largely a positive website that encourages discussion and not everybody is gonna like the same thing.
This was NEVER the case? LolThis used to be the case, not anymore lol
Or, a joke? Must everything be doom and gloom, Boxy?THIS is a hyperbolic statement.
Yes, Nier Automata was a result of Square not listening to any critiques about the first game.3 of the best games of the past number of years (Zelda, Nier, Persona 5) just came out from studios that had absolutely 0 interaction with this forum or the majority of the English language video game internet

I find your profile image of bald Arya Stark very disturbing
Doesn't shock me at all. I've fallen into this trap too.
I think this forum can be great for having discussion.
BUT I have noticed in like the past 2 years. It can be taken too far. Something is either the greatest of all time or absolute shit. No middle ground and that's not good for discussion.
Look at what happened to Shinobi. Just because he happened to like a game.
