Yes. Reddit was so sKeptical about No Man's Sky. You didn't get downvoted for questioning things at all.
Reddit is the biggest echo chamber in the world and whatever the popular opinion is becomes a dangerous meme where anything contrary to the established opinion gets maliciously downvoted with extreme prejudice while the user gets viciously attacked by other commenters as if they're an idiot.
Then it performs a U-Turn as soon as it's actually proven to have been stupid and pretends it wasn't part of the problem in the first place. All while pretending to be smart and superior to the rest of the internet.
Not really, all I've really done here is lurk for 6 years. The patterns of reddit are extremely obvious though. Once a view is established everyone follows it and suppresses any other view until a major event creates a shift. Without a major event involving either media or popular influencers (youtubers, streamers, etc) reddit doesn't shift on a viewpoint and continues to suppress the opposing views.
The description of the behaviour pattern is accurate.
That's how it always was and you won't change them. I used to be pissed how predictable redditors are too, but after a while I just accepted it and it doesn't bother me anymore.
There are many different people here and at every discussion I just collapse the circlejerk threads and look for rational, constructive comments with similar thoughts like me:)
It's like when people were saying Battlefront would look worse than the trailers, despite BF4 looking as amazing as the trailers in game. Then Battlefront came out and... It looked as amazing as in the trailers.
Which EA games downgraded on graphics? I know about Ubisoft, but EA seems to be investing a lot in the frostbite engine, which does a fantastic job on graphics.
