People bitching and whining about "controversial" game design decisions... STFU and enjoy the game, and if you can't, play something else

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I think you're missing the entire point of a discussion forum, and I think your overly permissive mentality is why AAA game quality has gone off a fucking cliff. Just because you're happy as a clam to accept whatever slop is placed in front of you doesn't mean that the rest of us have to ignore shit game design when it gets trotted out for the umpteenth time.

Who are you to determine if opinions are there to derail or are dumb?
Who made you the chief to determine that Red Dead controls are amazing or that weapon durability is a great thing or that god damn Dark Souls would be destroyed if they put a pause button, and any different opinions don’t belong here.
It’s perfectly fine to have different opinions from you and you don’t get to rant that people shouldn’t be posting their opinions about games on a gaming forum.
It’s also fine to argue that indeed above is right and others are wrong, this is what the forum is for, to express our opinions. Perhaps you can go to the purple forum if you feel that there should be the one and true party line.

People don't like a game you like? Big deal, the world still goes round.

Just because I don't know how to design nor build a car doesn't make the Pontiac Aztek a beautiful vehicle that's fun to drive.

Not everyone is a docile conformist with low standards like you. How about you stfu and let people have their opinion.

Nah. Things need to be criticized. Developers make selfish and bad decisions all the time, even when internally concerns are voiced and ignored. They are right to be criticized. Same goes with movies. At the end of the day, these are products.
I don't know how to build a house, but if I buy a newly built house and my toilet pipes route out through my sink faucet, I would have the right to voice my objections even through I don't know the technical side of things. Likewise, if an otherwise enjoyable game has clunky controls or an annoying camera it can completed ruin the experience like ketchup on an ice cream sundae.

You are writing one thing in your post, and then, in the reply, claiming to imply something else.
Your post is literally you making a hyperbolic whine about other people making hyperbolic whines. On a forum that is all about open discussion. As long as the internet exists, there will be idiots who shitpost. There will be one-liner hot-takes and zero-effort cannon fodder comments. It is just as easy to ignore them.
No one in their right mind makes a serious post saying FromSoft or Zelda games are terrible. Anyone saying that is obviously trolling. And i say this as a filthy casual who can't handle difficult games and has hence never played a FromSoft game. No point in making a bad faith rant about a few loud idiots and asking people on the forum to silence themselves. There is plenty of serious discussion to be found if you look for it.

My favorite is people wanting to control others opinions and their right to express them.
I find that NEAT.

OP, say you play RDR 2 in a vacuum. Nobody told you it was masterpiece. You didn’t saw youtube videos of its attention to detail.
You simply started playing it, played for 20 hrs, of which 15 were spent on horse which feels ok. 1 hrs was spent shooting, which feels bad. Rest of the time you were watching cutscenes or checking map etc.
Only thing great about it was scenery and few lines on banter between characters.
What will you deduce about the game and will you keep playing it??
In other words can you yourself deduce if a game is masterpiece?

Your OP reads more like you specifically don't like people complaining about things that developers did intentionally, in terms of game design (you even bold that part).
In any case, I don't think someone needs to write a 700 word explanation every time they express their displeasure with Zelda's durability system or RDR2's controls. That's kind of ridiculous. What even needs to be explained in those cases? It's quite easy to surmise why someone might not like weapon durability.

It is a gaming forum, so its sort of expected to have differing opinions around here. What I like about GAF is most thoughts are expressed unfiltered. I've been bashed and ridiculed for liking Concord, but I choose to engage in the discourse anyway. It's not in any way perfect the discussions around here, they sometimes devolve into petty squabbles, but I like the mess sometimes. There are very good members here which offer strong counter arguments and views, which I appreciate a lot.

I do think some people straight up don't enjoy gaming and just enjoy being angry/upset about things in games they probably have no interest in, in the first place, or just jump on a hate bandwagon because their fave youtuber has. 
Not saying this is the case for everyone, as I'm sure many people have games they like with sections that does frustrate them, or could be better, or games they've been genuinely looking forward too, they've dropped the money and have sadly been left disappointed.
I do find a lot of the hate you read online towards games is usually fairly trivial though.
I think it would be cooler if people focused and talked about things they liked rather the things they didn't though, but negativity gets more clicks.

So what you are saying is, if I dislike the slow ass animations in Red Dead or do not like how weapons are handled in the latest Zelda games, I should just play through them anyways and not say anything? I am just to bend over and accept whatever they give, whether or not I enjoy it?
What kind of bull shit is this?
Even if a mechanic in a game is a key to that game, I am still allowed to not like it, discuss how I do not like it, and mention how I would have enjoyed the game a lot more if it was not like that. I have attempted to play Red Dead multiple times, before getting frustrated with all the slow slog it has due to it attempting to be "realistic" versus a "game". It just is not for me. Similarly, I prefer the older styles of Zelda games versus the new ones, which is why i did not buy Tears of the Kingdom.
As a consumer of these products, there is nothing wrong for me to share my opinion on why or why not I enjoyed a game. This is such an odd post, with the OP sounding like he is superior to others due to liking it all. Go touch grass dude, this comes off as if you take video games way too seriously.
