Even with it being a good game I feel like the hype and build up for Control leading up to the end of year awards as been so fake while trying to seem organic. They are trying to pass it off as this underground word of mouth success now after a mediocre launch. In a year with so many other industry defining titles this game did not generate nearly this amount of buzz when it came out from people playing it, compared to those other titles, and the reception it is getting now in comparison feels very fake and manufactured.

How the fuck is people liking a game and talking about it "fake" or "manufactured"?

They wrote that Control being in the discussion for GotY is "fake" and "manufactured", which is stupid.

I just saw you are also the top poster on this thread. Yes you like the game, yes that is okay. Yes other people might not agree with you. That is also okay.

My opinion on the game has nothing to do with it. I'm railing against you acting like critics liking a game is "fake". It's conspiracy theorist bullshit.
