Why it has become cool to hate Spin Off games ?

Since many of you just say Survive is bad, I need to clarify this:

Survive is a good survival spin off game. It got trashed due to the whole Konami controversy and even the popular youtubers had to only review the first 2-3 hours of the game in order to trash it.(And none of them ever wanted to have fun with that game which is the main issue. They just made their poor reviews for the pleasure of haters.)

These Reviewers completely made misleading videos about Survive and got so many things about the game wrong.

They called it's world empty while it's world had far more things to discover compared to Phantom Pain.(The game they preach because "A Hideo Kojima Game")

They called the combat shallow("Just build a fence and poke zombies that's the way the combat it.") While it's completely wrong. Only the first few hours that tactic is workable after that it completely becomes useless.(And none of the coop matches excluding easy difficulty are beatable by that tactic)

They all bashed the Microtrasactions while MTs were much better executed than Phantom Pain.

etc.

Here is the only review of the game that is actually correct.(From what I've seen since seeing loads and loads of stupid reviews gives me a bad headache)

@dorog1995: I loved MGSV I'm just saying it wasn't finished. He wanted that last mission in the game but it was cut from Konami due to budget constraints.

THANK YOU.

Rising didn't keep my attention for long, it's also the furthest you could be from a metal gear game.

At least survive had elements from all previous MGS games.

@dorog1995: Negative youtube videos are very clickbait-y.

I just tend to avoid negative youtube videos when the entire premise is "Avoid X" "Why Y is crap"... etc.

But I guess they must be really popular.

Some gamers just want games to turn out bad, so they ignore all the positivity and just focus on the negative. Just reading a negative review or watching a negative video to reafirm that they were right in thinking a game was crap.

I didn't hate RE Umbrella Corps until I played the beta. It was then hated because it was shit.

Here's the thing with spinoff titles. They generally aren't treated with the same care, the same level of detail, or even the same gameplay style of the sequels. Resident Evil is a perfect example of this from 1996 to 2009. The only good spinoff RE titles... ever... were the Outbreak games. But when you look at RE 1,2,3, CV, 4 and even 5, they were well polished, fun to play and kept character story arcs intact. When you look at the other spinoff titles such as Survivor, Dead Aim, ORC and beyond... they are basically shit.

Spin offs always have a weary eye cast on them as there is a good chance the spin off is a cash grab trying to capitalise on the success of the main franchise with little consideration given to anything else, I remember being apprehensive about New vegas as it seemed to follow in the footsteps of fallout 3 very quickly, as it happens it was a much better game than 3, I had a somewhat similar response when Rogue one was announced, again it transpired that the spin off was better than the recent main entry, It is just unfortunate that in recent times the spin off products being released have justified the scepticism with which spin offs are treated by default.

I liked very much how Rising readily acknowledged how dumb the shit in Metal Gear Solid is.

The entire thing is treated as wink-wink.

Yeah. These days the whole "X game didn't just die. It was murdered" videos have become very popular.

I really think that after a while developers won't ever listen to the internet for their games ever again(Maybe they cut them down to moderated official forums) since whatever they make there always will be a group of people that will hate the game and the internet just gives them the loud noise.

I remember from the first trailer(Long before the Beta) it was cool to hate it and even lots of youtubers made reaction videos of it. These days whenever a new spin off gets announced it will receive tons of dislikes and hate from the first trailer.(I remember Fallout 76 was also bashed to death due to the whole "Online Fallout game")

As for RE spin offs.... I personally enjoyed Dead Aim when I realized that I can use a mouse for aiming.(Which then me and my cousin played it together. He shot zombies and monsters , I moved the character. It was so fun we beat it on normal at 4-5 hours and got a S ranking.)

@dorog1995: I've been thinking about how disheartening it must be to be a game developer these days, and read nothing but hate and hate and hate on social media and forums and such.

Especially compared to some 20 years ago where game developers were basically Gods and they could do no wrong. When most new games and experiences were met with joy.

Sometimes the hate is so bad that it just feels like echo-chambers going on, people don't want to hear different opinions, they just want to hear their own opinion (how bad a game is) back at them.

I'm all for that, even tough I couldn't finish Rising, and the unlocked dash mechanic was not to my liking.

To me acid and survive are better spin offs.

Well, MG Rising was awesome and much better than the MGS games Kojima made prior to it.

Give us some examples of good spin offs gamers rejected.

Hate is the new cool thing for kids to do on internet. 'too many indies....too many remakes...too many multiplayer games....too many walking simulators...too many open world games...too many this...too many that...'.

They are so close minded, that they don't even realise that these days we have 'too many' of everything, which is perfect!

The term "hate" is being overused and maybe losing its original meaning.

While there is some good in the Internet's existence, unfortunately it does bring out some of the worst of mankind (e.g. encouraging political/ideological polarization of society).

In gaming, seems like the in thing is to hate everything for any reason, we can be spoonfed AAA gold but oh no, has microtransactions or some shit and every YouTuber is out to condemn the shit out of it.
