Perhaps, but plenty of it hasn't fallen on that, on the flip side some people give the impression you can't criticise Pokemon games.
Criticism is fine. It's healthy.
BUT there is a lot of people that don't do that and express themselves in a calm rationale manner and instead just go into either hyperbole mode or shit post mode and I see it often. Heck, it is prevalent in the old place. And it gets tiring. After page 100, I would like to discuss the game now. Why do we have 70 pages of people doing the same talking point about the visuals not being the best around and hey, lets talk about what looks interesting.
Or on Twitter, someone will post that they are enjoying the game a lot, for example, and I see people that have to come in an say "BUT the graphics". It's getting absurd.
Heck, the DF guy did just that in response to two people. One, a reviewer who loved the game, and two, to a random non industry person who posted about her enjoyment of the game. And like, come on... he should know better. Came out as childish bait, to which the obsessive DF followers started filling the guys thread with nonsense.
Or the lazy dev/incompetent rhetoric. The GF people are not lazy or incompetent, and clearly seem to be passionate about the series. BUT, they do work with what they get in regards to budget.
Now will TPC give them more budget? Who knows.
Will GF expand and grow bigger? Maybe, but I doubt this one since I always get the impression they do not want to. So in that case, bigger budget from TPC would be possibly better OR more time in between games.
So what I am saying, is that criticism is always encouraged. No such thing as a perfect game and everyone has various critiques depending on their own experience or what jives with them or does not. That is okay. But after a point, it can sometimes just become a circular discussion dominated by 1 or 2 talking points and it drowns everything out.
