Slight disagreement here. I mean, technically you are correct of course. But while some people read an AVN/play an adult game like they would read a book or watch a movie, i. e. as an outsider watching the action, even if it is told from the protagonist's view, some like to put themselves into the shoes of the protagonist and emphasize with him enough so that what is done to MC is done to me. Well, in a manner of speaking, when MC gets shot I don't start bleeding, so yeah, it is a difference and it is fiction, and similar things happen in other fictional stories where we get unhappy and have to roll with it or stop leaving (the most beloved character turns traitor or stuff). But in as far as such a fictional story goes, MC "is" me then.
Yep, when I play the game and this game is good enough to be immersive so I am the MC, which, sometimes is not a very pleasant thing due to the stupidity level of ....well, mc so myself...

Yeah, I feel you. Also I have that pain when MC/me does something stupid and has to suffer for it when I didn't have a choice, even though I would have chosen the same thing. But then it would be on me and getting flak for my own mistakes is okay, getting flak for "other peoples'" mistakes not so much.

What are people talking here??

since 2019 no one good screenshot from this game. Just standard models in small rooms with bad lighting.
There is certainly more to this game than the "standard models in small rooms with bad lighting".

The reason I like this game so much is because of the writing, mystery, comedy, characters, and the world building. If you haven't played this game, which I assume you haven't based on your message, then you wouldn't really understand why so many people like it.
I implore you to try this before you knock it, its well written, funny and overall very smart.

Also, to be fair to you, the renders in the OP post aren't the nicest ones from the game, it gets better over time.

This game feels like one of the most "overrated" on the site because the majority of 5 star reviews get 1 or 2 likes while one that gave it 3 stars got x10 that amount :KEK: clearly more people looking at the reviews agree with the idea that this game is more middle of the road than the beacon of borderline perfection some claim (for whats its worth i tried this game but never got very far into it because it was constantly just talking to someone in the kitchen until the game decided it was time to do something else) thankfully i dont think I triggered any out of order events that are so common in sandbox games so that is a small plus I guess

Couple hundred people gave it 5 stars, but the 20 or so in the "this is mid" circle-jerk are the one's to listen to. Right.

The most important part of a 5 star review are the stars itself. I don't think many people read the review as it's mostly just praise. The 5-star rating is enough to cover that - no need to actually read "good renders, good story, etc. etc."
The people who 'like' 1-3 star reviews are looking for common thinkers in their rationale to dislike this game. There are some, yes, in a sea of people who love this game. It's probably a lot of the same people looking for like-minded people who dislike certain aspects of the game, and look for validation that they're not alone in dislike what they dislike. Or maybe it's people who read the review, saw something they wouldn't like without playing the game, and liked that review as a way to save that person from something they wouldn't want to see. A "like" in this case being a "thanks for saving me from this thing that I don't like" without ever having played the game.

It's rated by people who thought it was worth their time to give it a rating. It is appropriately rated based on a consensus. It's okay to not like something. Obviously, most people who decided to review this game like it. They don't need to look for validation in the reviews, the overwhelming amount of 5 star reviews is enough to do that for them.

Yeah and dozens of dozens of those reviews are for the most recent version right? (the verison a user would be playing) not for any updates that came in the last 4 years right? :HideThePain: If people can dislike it for saving them time/validating their opinions why are people clearly not liking the positive reviews for proving that they have good taste in the same amount? clearly more people who like the game are in the review section right?

you haven't played the game and yet you think its overrated? I understand different people like different things, but how can you even know you wont like it without giving it a try? I know free roam style games aren't for everyone (myself included) but I think this game does a pretty good job implementing it.

To address your point about the rating systems I will posit my theory why the reviews who say the game is mid get more likes. someone (you for instance) say the game is middle of the road, so you go to the reviews section to validate your opinion, then when you see a review that validates your opinion, you like it. whereas someone who thinks the game is great, goes to the review section and sees tons of 5 star reviews and says "ok looks like a lot of people agree with me".

clearly more people who like the game are in the review section right?
not necessarily, I like this game and I don't spend time in the review section at all. I would say that a lot of people are like this, when you have an unpopular opinion, you tend to seek others out with the same opinion. When you have a popular opinion, most of the time, you dont feel the need to
