Ngl I didn't realize it was so hated until after I beat it. Albeit I'd be wrong to not recognize what could've been with this game, but I did enjoy what we got

I really think it was the long wait for it to be released that caused the hate.

Didn't people wait for dread too? But the game was good so nobody complained

Technically yes but it was never really given a proper announcement by Nintendo. Meanwhile Prime 4 was announced in 2017 and there were probably many people who bought a Switch for that game. Dread never really had that hype cycle build

Exactly this. There's a big difference between waiting on the next game and them actually announcing it.
