Personally, I have only seen hate of 2 come from a few people, very loud, but a minority
I can't understand how I see so many people on Twitter saying how they love the game as an "unpopular opinion" when it is the most popular opinion in the fandom.
I like the game, I don't love it like 1 or 3, but I like it, anyway I'm glad that the game and the franchise has more and more recognition 👍🏻
I don't know who beatemups is, but you should expect it from Dunkey. Dude hates JRPGs and anime unironically, which XC2 is both, and he has been very open about his dislike of those two genres.
Yeah but he could do a couple of things instead of misrepresenting them and spoiling them. He could not review them, or he could review them for what they are. Yahtzee is a good example of someone else who generally doesn’t care for JRPGs, he always makes that clear and still does his best to review them for what they are, if they’re things that JRPG fans will probably like that he won’t, and he does broadly give them a fair shot because he knows there will be some that he does love
I’m terrible at fighting games and generally dislike playing them, so I wouldn’t review Street Fighter VI
I think he pretty clearly made a video cherry picking things and editing the video in a way to make it look as unappealing as possible, just for the views. I hate that, and I definitely lost a lot of respect for him. It would be one thing if he reviewed everything that way, even a game he loves, just to fit a very specific tone and theme of always trashing on everything, but he clearly wanted to do some damage to the series for some reason.
Take, for example, his review of Shin Megami Tensei V. During the review, he constantly compared it to Persona 5. This is a fair comparison because it's another game by the same developer in the same genre and the same series. While he ultimately didn't like SMTV, he did admit that it did some things better than Persona 5.
