A few years ago, a friend and I started joking on how quickly the hivemind would change their minds on video games.
I.E.
"This game is game of the generation, easily."
six months later
"By far the biggest disappointment of 201x. What were they thinking? Borderline unplayable."
Uncharted 3 and BioShock Infinite are great examples. Both received INCREDIBLE praise from both journalists and Gaffers alike upon release.
Nowadays, any thread you see where they even mention those games, you'll see a significant amount of people claiming how terrible they allegedly were. It's absurd.
They have shifting opinions about individual titles every several months. Not only that, but they'll randomly throw out LTTP or "Is it me, or is this one of the best games ever made?" and name some random ass title that gains massive traction. Shifting hivemind. Suddenly, Yoshi's Island is the best game of all time. Next week, it's Super Mario Galaxy 2. Okay.
But lately it's not even about the games anymore. It's mostly about the SJW garbage, and random threads about daily life occurrences that explode in the Off Topic section. It's no wonder more and more people are getting fed up.

I really only use GAF as a source of gaming news.
