Lechinchilla has a valid point, critique is good but it's best to be constructive. The original comments posted were anything but constructive and it seems you put more effort into the replies than there was in the original post.

If you want to use the film analogies you can also compare the feedback that says "This film is terrible" which anyone can say, with proper critique that says "The dialogue wasn't up to scratch/ the third act felt rushed/ the character development was shallow."

Yes, OneWayOut has quite a few flaws, but we can also state what could be done in future, spellchecking is evident, working on dialogue is another plus sending it to a few people to test out before being "released" is a good way of seeing the work from someone else's perspective.

So "yes" we shouldn't blindly praise people because that can lead to shortcomings with development, but "yes" we should also think about how we word the feedback, we're offering critique, not a trial-by-fire.
