IGN?
Didnt they give this game an 8?

What highly anticipated game did they bash.
I always though IGN were actually alittle too forgiving of games.

Prob didn't get Sonys give it a good score payment , to me don't trust scores anymore cause there that much that goes on with companies paying out reviews to give favourable reviews it's a joke, for me still got the Charlie thing in my head and the way Sony and sucker punch reacted don't give a fuck about this game , like always there will be a load of little Sony sheep saying one thing and still supporting Sony, if this game is a massive hit will just show Sony and its studios they can do whatever they want and say and people will still rush to buy there games

you must admit the era we are in right now is extremely woke.

Every single review has a dedicated section for feminism, gender identity, diversity and blablabla.

The vast majority of people don't give a fuck if you can play as a genderless blob person, they just want a good game.

The "vast majority of people" happily destroyed Concord, times change, consumers seem to become clever to bullshit way faster than marketing can adapt. Maybe the mass isn't as "ill informed" anymore, just saying.

The airtight games media to consumer pipeline doesn't exist anymore with shit like X and YouTube. Pretending things haven't changed dramatically probably isn't a great approach.

There's still a lot of legacy assumptions doing the rounds on boards like gaf/era/reddit etc which may be why you still get stunts like Concord. It still persists.

First of all, reviews are at best an indicator. No need to care about every details of every reviewer, nor their audience.

I've been on both sides, including being staunchly "anti-woke," but then I realized that the perceived influence of these movements is mostly fueled by confirmation bias.

Oh wait, isn't that the lovely lady that tweeted a few years ago that she and her wife were Antifa, and also handled criticism about Yotei at first reaaaaally well?

Yeah, lovely woman, lol. Still, doesn't mean she can't be a great voice actress for the game, on the other hand a game like this I really wouldn't want to hear English VO.

That's legitimately scary as hell, the fuck is Sony thinking?
 
that review by Eurogamer is so spot on, man. This series is gorgeous but extremely shallow asf. I remember beating KCD1 and jumping straight to GOT, was so shocked how shallow and outdated all the mechanics were, wasn't expecting a deep gameplay mechanics but man how can a game so goddamn pretty but got a game design like it was made for a handheld console like the PSP. If this game came out in 2007 and Assassin Creed didn't exist yet it would be the greatest thing ever.

You can't trust reviews when it comes to games at the heart of the culture war.

We saw Kinda Funny pretend Dragon Age and Concord were great games. We will see more of this as the war rages on, unfortunately.

The war is kind over, these woke games/media ll fade out in the next years.

And thats your answer, people want an assassins creed game but without all the excessive MTX BS locking off half the content and rewards.

It doesn't need to be the best or most complex game ever made, it just needs to be better than Assassins creed as a whole package, and most people can agree it does that. Thats why it was successful.

Im taking some time off next week to play it, hopefully its good but im not expecting GOTY, I am however expecting something better than AS Shadows.

Can you explain what are the next gen gameplay features of KCD1, that make Yotei look old?

The crying is glorious already. Will be glorious also in the sales thread about this game too. Stop being miserable all the time people.

Yep! This place has become a place to shit on games for no real reason. The negativity is crazy. I think some spend more time criticizing games than actually playing and enjoying them.
Game looks fab. Preorder justified.

Who is deciding if there is a reason to criticize a game? So we just allowed to cheer for games?

i mean i've always played on Playstation but let's not do this. Their criticism seems actually fair. And honestly i fee that with most Sony's open world games. Most of them feel like they would work better as linear single player game, in my opinion.
