I am a genius for disliking Marvel Rivals (Reasons below.)

[Tighty-Whitey]

There's nothing inherently wrong with liking certain games. After all, people like whatever they more lean into based on their beliefs and persuasions. Some might call it taste, which is not right way to put it. But me, personally, it's not my cup of coffee. Only things aren't exactly that simple.

you see, when i look at games, i don't let my judgment in the way and look at what the game has to offer, its quality. i don't just look at how many people like the game, i find and establish reasons as to why games are liked or disliked. marvel rivals is exactly on the receiving end of my tendency to look more into details. it's important to understand how many people like and dislike a certain game, not just by reviews, but overall, what kind of consensus the community has towards marvel rivals. like ok, we do have quite a lot of people cheering for another marvel product, but it's mostly either fear of missing out, with people jumping on yet another bandwagon or people falling for another marvel title that's meant to push their new movies. this game, being just one big advertisement, does everything it can to lure people into marvel stuff that's generic and subpar and also exploits people who fell for marvel back in the day when they've never been good. when the so-called "honeymoon" is over for yet another new hyped up by livestreamers game, people move on to other newly established hyped up by livestreamers games. this is what livestreamers and youtubers do, they exploit the society for revenue to push games that aren't worth it and aren't as interesting as games that never got the recognition. there never has been a correlation between quality and notoriety of a certain game. because why would it? world doesn't work through logic and persuasions, it never had.

which exactly leads to my next point. how long is this going to continue? when will this be over? the easy answer to this would be: when people realize the truth. only realizing the truth will make the majority of the population have patience and to steer away from things that are pushed by the majority. the humanity is known to follow someone else's playbook. this is exactly why we are seeing many smaller games being ignored, while this one is getting attention. only there's a catch, this attention that the game has is temporary, as people always eventually realize that the game they were playing was not that interesting and are getting bored from bad game design decisions. this game is convoluted, bloated and not as simplistic as some other hero shooters. this is exactly where replayability suffers as a result.

the majority of the people don't actually like marvel rivals, if anyone does. the thing is, those people who feel like leaving a review for marvel rivals, those are the people looking for their opinions to be visible, for others to see what they have to say. but the majority of people are not like that. positive reviews that we see are done by the vocal minority, while the vocal majority either ignores the game or never felt the need to express their opinions in either discussions or reviews. they feel like playing what they want, rather than trying to "sell" yet another boring game to people. reviews are not representation of whether this or that person will like the game or not. in order to figure out whether you like the game, you'd have to try it for yourself. but since the majority don't feel like playing marvel rivals, don't enjoy it, that means the game, for the most part, isn't as popular as some might lead you to believe. this indication is as clear as day and we see that. you see, i would never play the game that's not actually good. the researches i conduct about marvel rivals have direct relation to people not being happy with marvel as a whole and the entertainment industry, people who don't feel like falling for the livestreamer trap.

it's important to have an individual opinion, to look at the quality of the game, its longevity, both lacking in marvel rivals. that's why i'm not interested, i have an individual opinion, while researches are directly related to the community feeling down about the game, about the status of the industry as a whole and the whole premise of trying to control the masses and hook people up with opinions affected by livestreamers or exploitative business practices. it's important to avoid that. and this is exactly why people who don't voice their opinions, who don't go out of their way to tell people that marvel rivals is not actually good, is not actually liked by the majority of people, their opinion also counts and is as important as anyone's. just because they don't feel the need to voice their opinion, we cannot presume that the game is truly that successful. and if you were to ask anybody, even people currently playing the game, they know that the game's popularity is extremely temporary and we'll eventually see that. even people playing marvel rivals feel like the game is not really up to par to have any sort of longevity. and while many people would deny that, they are normally ignoring the factors of human psychology regarding entertainment products, they don't quite realize that even they themselves wouldn't want to play the game for way too long themselves. we've seen that with all other games, time and time again. this is not the first time.

this is exactly why having an individual opinion, outlook on games is important and i myself dislike marvel rivals, because i know it does not introduce anything that's gripping, that has never been done before and has less quality than many games out there. no, this will not be your main game you'll spend years in, the developers will not be able to sustain or control the game for that long. games as advertisements, if they work on people, can be misleading. and no, liking the game based on picture livestremers and youtubers presented to people is not the way to go as this feeling of "liking" the game will wear off fast, which is what we see in the player numbers fluctuating and dropping. around 200k players left the game in the span of few days. the numbers for marvel rivals are clearly extremely inflated, because player numbers don't really work like that, which is why they plummeted so quickly compared to what we've seen few days ago. it's important to think ahead of time, to look into the future and ask yourself: will you truly play the game years later? is it as good as people lead you to believe? because being exploited by livestreamers trying to find new content to sell to people and get revenue can only stretch the game's success and popularity so far. it's not going to be as prevalent as games that people came to like solely due to the game's quality. and seeing that this game is convoluted, bloated and lacks simplicity, which hurts its replayability and longevity, this hurts the game to a great extent and this is exactly why marvel rivals is overall doomed as a time-proof experience. those are the reasons why the game is not quite up to par to standard.

I think genius is not the correct term used in here.

[firefist]

i aint reading allat why do you keep posting stuff on the forums if you dont like the game bro
you've made multiple posts about how the game sucks and how it's gonna die
and you did the exact same thing on deadlock forums
this cannot be some weird side hustle there's no way to convert steam replies to money
this is either crazy rage bait or no hobbies. get off of steam

It's one thing to like or dislike a game, it's a whole 'nother level to proclaim, "I am a GENIUS for disliking this."

You're not a genius - you're just garden-variety rebellious. Golf clap for you, sir.

What

[Tighty-Whitey]

well the thing is, if i hadn't known what i was talking about, i wouldn't have pointed out things that we now see with the game. a lot of factual points and outcomes that i technically predicted. people should be aware of marvel rivals.

Wow, calling yourself a genius for disliking a game is certainly a bold move. Congrats on the dissertation, but maybe next time just say, 'I don’t like Marvel Rivals,' and move on. No need to overanalyze like you're solving the mysteries of the universe. It’s a game, not the Rosetta Stone.
