I'll be honest.Had to switch from YT to Twitch stream and first thing i noticed was that my eyes were bleeding from reading a couple lines of that toxic chat. What an awesome community... Ewww!
Unbelievable how negative people are these days. I miss the old Forza days back in 2010.
I played games like FM4, Fh1, Fh3 and FM7 without discovering any forum or social media regarding these. I only used YouTube to watch the trailers and then the wiki to check the car list. I must say that really elevates the experience of playing the games.
FH4 (3-4 months after launch) was the first that i played while interacting/reading discussions in the subreddit, and it did sour the experience, because the community kept reiterating that the game was the worst in the franchise and the franchise had "lost its way" repeatedly. Made me lose interest for a small period of time, and i switched back to FM7 again for a bit.
The same thing is happening with FH5, but this time I'm not losing interest because i don't read too much into any social media. (NEVER VISIT YOUTUBE COMMENTS OR TWITTER) It's the same for any game.
Too much negative discourse online will get you a negative outlook on the game, where you will start nitpicking and digging for more negatives. Best to avoid it, at least till you play the game for the first impressions.
