Some people stand by the game staunchly and the people that detest it are simply a vocal minority of which I am a member. I pointed at the things that were done well enough by the game. Perhaps that was enough to sway people from the perception of it being tripe. Who knows. I am not one to accept a 'finished' product and not weigh the flaws against the positives. The issues I listed are not enough to demean a game individually, but put together. They were enough for me to have an issue with the game. You made the distinction between movies and video games but in truth, I find them more similar than you do. I cannot speak for why anyone else likes the game in truth, because even as a gamer, I detest it.
I like how the keffiyeh/hipster comment came back Tryv. We all know wear one to be 'painfully' different at all times. Yet of the millions of pictures of me out there, none have me wearing one. If you own this, you're hipster. Gotcha. I might as well complete the cycle and get a faux-hawk and some Buddy Holly glasses.
