In general, if there are things someone doesn't like about the game, that's fair. But it's absolutely disingenuous to pretend like all the great things that captured the minds and imaginations of innumerable people don't exist.
So you say its disingenuous for people to not call things great or rate them at that level that others consider great? So as long as your opinion is on line with "innumerable people", its fine?
There's a difference between saying, "These are some of the things I don't like about the game," and "This game is trash."
When criticisms are put forward as objectively stating that the game is terrible, it amounts to an overblown niche position. In fact, I would argue that the game is not objectively trash on the basis of the millions of people who enjoy it.
All it comes down to is a failure to see what's being enjoyed. A failure to feel the pulse of what audiences enjoy. And frankly, if I were Larian, I'd pay *a lot* more attention to the people who know a good thing when they see it.
Again, it's totally fair to say, "I don't like this aspect of the game," or "This part of the game didn't work for me because..." But the negativity goes way further than that and often tends to fail at seeing a larger picture.
