This, if you're a sonic fanboy that rages at reviews not only are you the minority, you're beyond deluded at this point.

I wasn't talking about the Sonic fanbase regarding review reveals. I was talking about how the Xenoblade community is quickly becoming as toxic as the Sonic community in general. Where the fanbase is just negative about everything all around, blaming developers, blaming reviewers, demeaning other games from the same genre, demeaning people who have positive things to say about the game, etc.

It is one thing if the game actually reviewed poorly. Which it didn't. It has a respectable score of 84 in Metacritic, which is honestly around the range I expected it to be (My estimate was around 85-87). JRPGs normally don't review as well as games from other genres. The Xenoblade 2 board exploding as if the game tanked critically like Mass Effect: Andromeda is a bit ridiculous when most reviewers are actually praising the game.

There are people cancelling their pre-order or ****ing on the game because the metacritic score didn't meet their expectations.

There are people who bought the game, loved it but have developed an inferiority complex where they have to **** on other games from the same genre which reviewed better.

There are people celebrating the fact that the game didn't review well (their words not mine) because they can't afford a Switch to play the game.

In short, the Xenoblade 2 board is a complete utter ****show right now that the CE board may seem like a warm hospitable place right now. And I understand if it is hard to believe but you can see for yourself.

I guess I'm bringing this up because I always thought the Xenoblade community were a chill group of people. I didn't see a reaction nearly this bad during the release of X which also got an 84 and had much higher expectations. So it is kinda surprising and sad to see this happen now.
