I apologize if I insulted anyone by insulting this game, but it's just how I feel about it. A fighting game with fucking animé-clichés up the ass & squeeling KAWAII girls jumping around that pander specifically to otakus isn't going to get me excited, no matter how "deep" the gameplay may be. Clayfighter for the SNES might have the deepest fighting mechanics of any fighter. I wouldn't know, because the overall design & presentation just turns me off. Chances are i'm not gonna try a game if it doesn't appeal to my tastes (with few exceptions).
It has nothing to do about liking the game. It's about trying to judge a game without playing it.
Everybody judges games without playing them, all the time. I'm sure you've done it yourself to some degree.
