>game is beloved and celebrated for decades

>the consensus on the game sways overnight

Games are an unserious medium and we can't do anything to help it

>>720688809 (OP)
How is that any different than literally any other medium out there?

I don't think any amount of video essays would be able to move the opinion on any 20+ year old film classic

Same thing with games, since you didn't give out any examples

Sonic's suffered through this a lot.

nobody talks to each other as people any more, they just get their opinions of ecelebs.

the op ran the fuck away after this kek

OP, I think you could better use your posts telling us the games you love and way instead of worrying about youtube.

>It's either ecelebs, journalists, snoys, or steamies. It's never Nintendo's fault.
Tendies are truly the most buckbroken.

Super Castlevania 4

It's the Ouroboros of gaming discourse, anon. One eceleb drops a 2-hour overproduced "retrospective" with a sad piano intro, selectively nitpicks 25-year-old design choices, and suddenly an entire generation acts like they always hated it. We went from worshipping FF8’s junction system as deep to pretending it’s unintelligible garbage overnight. Guess all it takes is a smug British accent and some B-roll.

I fucking hate spoony's reasoning behind the draw system
>Dude it makes it where you HAVE to draw everything to max asap or you're playing the game wrong
Does that retard grind to level 99 in the starting continent of every RPG he plays? It's the same fucking principle.

Old games should be looked at more critically than new games and old things should not be blindly worshipped.
