Yeah so we all know reaper leviathan is easily most recognizable creature in the series, with its precense alone being the reason game sold so well (at least from what I remember). And while such "cult" around him is understandable, after the second game's early access release, and me joining this community I've noticed really nasty habbit of fans bassicly pushing reaper EVERYWHERE they can lol
So far you really can't say ANYTHING about any other leviathan in game, without being at least somewhat reminded of reaper's existance in some degree. You like chelicerate's look? Too bad because reaper is better. You prefere other leviathan over him? Again you're wrong. It's this fatigue of him that makes it so it's really hard for me to not be annoyed each time he has to be brought up somehow even if the discussion isn't about him
Pfff, the reception of new leviathans only proves my point futher, because if you look at the comments, there is massive ammount of those repaer "glazers" that really don't judge collector nore shiver by how original/scary it is, but rather how little they resemble the og manhunter from the first game. And don't get me wrong, those comparisons are pretty fair and valid, but the problem is with **how** those players do it: They can't accept the developers trying something new instead of the same "loud roar" beast, with leads to those extremely biased takes that rather than judging leviathans on their own, they compare it to reaper, and how it supposedly isn't as scary as him **only** because it's something different than him.
Hope that my rant didn't ofend anyone, and I really hope we'll manage to get some interesting discussions right here
