Matty, next time change your character's appearance before you give stuff to a leaker/leak stuff on your burner twitter lmao

I see that crowd are doing what they do best...

Inb4 they suddenly become the victims even though they are purposely trying to destroy someone.

I don't really consume Mr Mattys stuff, it seemed fairly vanilla from what i have seen, but i feel bad for the shitty journo incestuous nonce club is trying to destroy him.

Holy shit how many woke reviewers played this trash??

Proof that reviews from these people do not matter

A group of game journalists have been doing this since PS3 days but they used to be way more subtle. They just don't care anymore.

Reviews don't matter to us, a small vocal group who are passionate about gaming and care about these things. But most of the casual people are going to eat these reviews up and buy the game. It's a sad reality.

Also, same routine happened with DA: Inquisition. That game got a ton of Game of the Year awards but the fact remains --- it's a terrible RPG.

Yeah Inquisition is one of the worst RPG's I've ever played, it put me to sleep multiple times and I couldnt stand to finish it

What's this? Folks going after @Mattyp because he didn't like the game?

Man does something stupid, others blame the people pointing out said stupid action instead of the man for being stupid.


Sounds about Right.

What do they have against breasts? They are perfectly fine with removing them and everyone got a reduction? WTF?
Mother Nature fucked up by making men feel more attracted women with certain features than to women without those features. BioWare is here to fix her mistake.

Desexualizing women is part of the ultra progressive meta in the west.
While promoting and spouting lies to them from early age that hook up culture/promiscuity, even among teenagers is normal and good thing, then those women get bodycounts that dwarf john wick's at 21yo only and cant pairbound anymore , by the time they hit the infamous wall(around 30yo, some bit later, some bit earlier) they are undateable and unmarry-able anymore and keep posting vids on social media asking "where did all good men go ?" :p

Sounds like another day on twitter to me. Someone does something, others will try to cancel that person. After a few hours, max day, they'll get bored and find a brand new shiny topic to be outraged about and forget about it. Not really worth second thought

The only repercussion for Matty might be tied to price of breaking the embargo and NDA he signed as this leaked scene did some damage

Dudes will jerk off to feet, Mother Nature needs no help in making people freaks.

Hey good for them, much better than I was expecting. But it's never been my kind of game.

This is just a reminder, BIG reminder, that every review that you read from an outlet is just a "professional opinion." No one is particularly right or wrong in how they feel about their experience. That's why there are so many different reviewers, outlets, etc. If you care that much about reviews, you can find a person or outlet that has opinions that seem to align with yours. Or at least as best as possible.

As some one that enjoy's SkillUp's reviews quite a bit, I can't shake off him saying "Every interaction sounds like HR is in the room", lmao.

I see the images of the same character from the game but how is that related to the other posts with the accounts using the n-word?
It's the same custom character. So either Matty himself leaked shit with on a burner twitter account or he gave video clips to someone who did. Same account also posted racist shit.

Either way, Matty did something very stupid.
 
Can you imagine what they'll do to Mass Effect... my goodness.

What is so bizarre is how corporations seem to be synchronized in suiciding their franchises. I don't get it.
Its because most of these AAA studios aren't run or managed by actual creatives at the top anymore. They're legit run by people who adhere to spreadsheets and graphs. They don't have the slightest artistic feel for what they see. Any CEO whose a genuine creator at heart and with a shred of decency would've seen this and told the team to get back to the drawing board.

They may feel as good or bad as they like, but there are objective measurements to analyze gameplay, graphics, and the narrative aspects of the game. All of them look abysmal.

I like the old Mortal Kombat movie but I'd never say its anything but a hot pile of shit.

I thought it would hit low 90's on the reviews after the rounds of previews I watched tbh.

Admittedly most of the previews did have a "what we played was good but what about the rest of the game" vibe.

The posts with racist shit sounds nothing like Matty so I'm not buying the assumptions of others. Matty probably should explain how that character ended up elsewhere.

True, but we've seen plenty of examples where a lot of outlets just skirt around issues like that. I think it just goes back into watching videos and playing it yourself to see how you feel about it in most cases.
