Fandom, Critique, And The Sum Of A Videogame's Parts
Added 2025-01-27 16:31:36 +0000 UTCAs a professional reviewer, I've earned the ire of many fandoms. As a player, there is one fandom I could truly call myself part of - Dynasty Warriors. These two things clashed with my review of Dynasty Warriors: Origins, as I did not love it the way the crowd did.
Let's discuss what that says about the way different people prioritize different aspects of a game. I promise it's as interesting as it is self-indulgent!

The part about feeling a little let down because a favorite series is going to go in a new direction that you don't care for as much really resonated. Really been feeling that with Zelda post-BOTW/TOTK -- enjoy both games, but they lost some of the OOT/MM magic that made me love the series in the first place. The curse of getting older, I suppose.
