Some of the reasoning I've seen indicates almost that... Also the
proportions i.e. how for many the fact that they don't like some subjective element of the game makes them throw tons of shit at the game so easily. It's like TCR have had released AAMFP with placegolder textures, themselves doing the voice acting and the story being a rip-off of Pocahontas. The difference between critics and users rating at Metacritic tells a lot and not necessarily what the negative scoring users would like it to be...
And my recent favorite from other forums, used against the game of cours -
"EVEN PewDiePie couldn't finish it, it was that bad". Cracked me up!
Two other things.
1. I've noticed that people can't even get through their praise for the game >unless< they open the paragraph with "Maybe AAMFP is not as good as A TDD was but..."
2. People saying they liked the different approach of AAMFP are labeled "hipsters" i.e. to say that they like something for the sake of it being different.
I'd really like the FG forums to introduce per-user posts marking so that I could mark the Amnesia-template fans or exploiters and not be exposed to their posts. I've seen such scripts for internet browsers in the past.
