Comment on Now that we've had SF for a bit, what do you think? Good, flawed, bad?

I wouldn’t go so far as to call it bad, but I really couldn’t get into it. It feels… old already. Like if it came out 5 years ago, it would have been great. But now, it just feels tired. Old graphics, recycled mechanics I’ve played 100 times before, and all done worse than in other games… the poster child for wide but shallow.
I dunno. It’s not bad, but not very good either. I’ll check back in a year or two after they’ve crowdsourced improvements from the community.

I won’t presume to know what you’re thinking but why not just call it bad? You already explained your positioning, seems mostly negative. I see a lot of people holding this opinion like they are afraid to call it bad so as not to be labeled a “hater”. I say fuck any idiots who think that, call a spade a spade. Games can be bad while still being playable and having some merits.

I guess for a few reasons. One, just because I don’t enjoy a game doesn’t make it bad. Two, because I know a lot of people put a lot of work into it, work I’d never be able to do myself, and I respect their efforts. Three, I’ve played bad games before and I don’t think this is objectively bad. Enough people in this thread have good things to say about the game to prove, in my eyes, that it’s good enough to not be called bad.
But I agree with your point overall. I don’t want to feel like I can’t criticize a game without be dismissed as a hater or whatever. And I’ve criticized this game plenty. lol
