What do you think got way too much hate than it should've? (kbin.melroy.org)

Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

I... I don't think of these at all, I just ignore their existence.

Personally, hating on people who post things on social media that are slightly offensive to others get more hate than they should. We should reach out and try to explain the issue in a civil matter instead of just loosing it because that doesn't make us any better. And if the person doesn't want to understand or care, just ignore them and move on.

Hating on products because either are bad, or underwhelming is ok as these companies know this and clearly don't care because they are already making money off it. However this is only recent due to all the Enshittrification we are getting force fed by these same companies.

Starfield. The game isn't bad, it just isn't as good and the game design was especially outdated for its release window. It's legitimately a better RPG than most Bethesda games.

I'm fairly confident modders will actually be able to salvage it despite its flaws.

I enjoyed the basic formula of past Bethesda games and Starfield delivered more of the same plus some cool extras like being able to disable and board/capture spaceships. I don't understand the sentiment that's it's outdated. Modern AAA games are not dramatically different in design to games from 10 years ago in my experience.

I had fun with it. I don’t pay attention to the story anyway. Skyrim and oblivion didn’t have great stories imho either.

[–] hightrix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Seconded. I actually enjoyed the game for what it was, almost Skyrim in space. Almost, don’t shoot me for saying that.

I had fun with the various factions, with constellation, and the story was reasonably unique but maybe not extremely enthralling.

That said, my expectations were basically zero. I purposefully ignore all prerelease hype about video games as it tends to ruin the actual experience of playing the game for the first time.

I'd be less annoyed with it if it were bad. It's just the most boring thing. There's nothing interesting going on. If it were bad there'd be a reason to care about it.

It's just really annoying because Bethesda used to care about doing something interesting with their games. It's just increasingly gotten more generic though, and Starfield is the worst of it.

Some of the questlines were fun, like the Pirate Double Agent questline.

[–] finderscult@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

I remember being underwhelmed when elite dangerous released an expansion that let you explore some planets on foot. And then starfield released.

[–] rivenb@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

For me, it’s just so boring. Plus the character writing is meh

Agreed but her 2013 cash grab sequel titled Saturday did not receive nearly enough hate.

[–] M137@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

That title isn't getting as much hate as it deserves.

It's either "What do you think got way too much hate?" or "What do you think got way more hate than it should've?". You somehow combined those sentences into a grammatically broken mess.

And it's fucked up that this hasn't been pointed out and isn't one of the top comments.

Men wearing wigs.

For whatever reason, we've decided as a society that women wearing wigs/weaves/extensions to make themselves feel attractive and nice is perfectly normal, but if a man does it it's laughable and pathetic. I say, wigs for anyone who wants them!

Also before the accusations start, I'm not a bald dude lol.
