I don't understand how that feeling happens or how someone can turn negative in the face of positivity. Why the negativity? What is gained with the mindset of, "Your enthusiasm for this thing you like is annoying me so now I'm going to actively dislike it to spite you" because I can't understand it.
When 100s of people are constantly and aggressively pestering you play/watch/enjoy something they enjoy and when you show the slightest bit of uninterest in it they start to be more aggressive and very bitter about it, it's very easy to be like "well fuck this then!"
This year in games has had a lot of games that inspired that sort of fandom. Bloodborne, Undertale, MGSV, and the Witcher 3 just to name a few.
What you are saying is true, but it's also just a very childish reaction. I've gotten annoyed by people trying to push stuff on me too (and I will again), especially if they went overboard with it, but I still try to form my own opinion of it without just going "fuck this".
Honestly the GB guys (and everyone else, who is above the age of 13) should be able to do that. Witcher 3 is the prime example that they weren't.
That's how I feel as well. It's one thing to be disappointed in something that was hyped too much, but it's kind of juvenile when someone takes it to the mindset of "oh yeah, well I'm not even going to try your stupid popular thing, so there!"
It juvenile of the fanbase to keep pushing stuff on people too. If someone says "Eh... I'll check it out when I have time." or something then it's very childish to continue going on "hey did you check that thing out yet? How about now? Ok. but what about now? Y'know I know you'd really like it. Why don't you just check it out? Did you check it out? Hey did you ever check this thing out? Ok? But how about now?" Now imagine 100s of people doing that to you multiple times a week if not every day, 'cause that's how it is. People need to calm down about the things they enjoy.

I was really disappointed by the first game. Mainly the lackluster/terrible combat (AI companions are never done well in jRPGs.) So probably won't pick this game up. It is very pretty though.
Anyone who thinks "multi-part series" means episodic in the way of a modern adventure game is just plain silly. I wish folks would stop saying that. It'll likely be a series of individual $60 games. It's not uncommon for jRPGs to do this and there's already a history of this in the FF series. How they'll stretch the plot of FF7 into multiple 40+ hour games is another thing entirely, but it'll probably and unfortunately mix in stuff from the god awful sequels for fluff.
Like I said over on the GB facebook group, the remake is not going to be the same game as the original. If you're looking for something like that then you'll be disappointed.
EDIT: I just heard that the remake is being done by the team that made the ps2 .Hack games. Well that explains so much about everything...
I see what they're doing. They gotta start early with the goofy characters so when they start adding the rest of the third strike cast people are so weirded out.
Also, despite knowing it was already the case, I am disappointed that C. Viper isn't in the game yet.
I wonder when it comes to DLC characters if they are going to include new characters or just old ones. Sure thing is they have enough characters to go through though. At least 70 or 80.
