Why can't you weirdos just act normal for once. Damn gravy seals always sending death threats with their cheeto dust covered fingers.

 

[SportsFan581]

He must've misinterpreted my reaction emojis

Nah, you are just the person walking down the street, laughing hysterically at everything. Now that I think about it, that is a bit scary, maybe you are responsible for this.

 

[64bitmodels]

Whatever. I'm numb to these people claiming they have "death threats". 99 times out of 100 they have zero fear that their life is in danger, but are looking for free online sympathy.

dude if some moron came running into your DMS claiming they were gonna kill you, you wouldn't post it online if not to laugh at them?

I wouldn't use it to garner sympathy, especially after I went out of my way trolling to try to entice those reactions in the first place.

 

[Aguero9320]

I mean, he’s not wrong about the father son stuff IMO…

That explains why I wasn't receiving any emojis last few days, ezekiel must have been on a flight to Korea

 

[Adam_802]

Sony fanboys are fragile lol

 

[tommib]

I don’t like people thinking that this is a trolling review though. Guy is more than entitled to his opinion. For every classic film that you love, there’s always been respected critics that would hate whatever film - and it came from a genuine place, not trolling. Get over yourself.

Bae Sang Hyun better watch his back.... Ezekiel_ doesn't fucking play

 

[LordCBH]

The game clearly isn’t a 6/10. But death threats? If true (which I kinda doubt), then really people? Calm the hell down and leave the dude alone.

 

[Venom Snake]

 

[saintjules]

Still unfortunate though. Why would anyone be this invested in review scores?

As someone else mentioned.

Product/brand worship.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Don’t worry, the honeymoon will end soon and Ragnarok will start showing up on people’s “overrated games” lists.

This guy’s just daring to say it now.

 

[Kilau]

Pathetic behavior.

 

[Bragr]

This is no surprise considering Sony fans.

And did they remove his review from Metacritic? I can't find it anymore. There are no reviews stated on mixed anymore.

 

[sainraja]

I don't usually defend any type of fanboys but...don't know about that. Look how many Xbox fanboys are showing up here for a game they don't particularly care for?
I guess people don't understand they don't need to tow party line stances over every topic. Anyway, we all know by now that crazy people send death threats over the stupidest reasons. It is never okay and no one here is saying that it is okay.

 

[zcaa0g]

You have no proof of that and even if it was true no one should have their life threatened over video games. There is no excuse.

No, but there is a thing called "common sense" and "logic".

 

[Thief1987]

It never was on metacritic, IGN Korea isn't listed there.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

This is another reason why Metacritic is the only score that matters.

 

[ArtHands]

These Playstation fans who send those death threats are so pathetic.

 

[SportsFan581]

Bae Sang Hyun better watch his back.... Ezekiel_ doesn't fucking play

Plot twist. E Ezekiel 's real identity is... dun, dun, dun...

Spoiler

Jim Ryan

He's always laughing at stuff too. Probably absolves him from accusations of making threats though, he'd never risk the bad PR.

 

[Thief1987]

These Playstation fans who send those death threats are so pathetic.

Or maybe it's you sending him death threats? Knowing Playstation haters it's very possible.

 

[GHG]

Nocap bro.

Or maybe it's you sending him death threats? Knowing Playstation haters it's very possible.

Considering the language used I'd say maybe SenjutsuSage had something to do with this.

 

[64bitmodels]

Nocap bro.

Ezekiel_ i didnt know you were capable of such vitriol and anger. i thought you were just a troll

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Pretty soon we'll assume death threats for the person that did death threats to the low review scores. People need to get a life.
At least wait and care when the actual developer takes dump on whatever IP you cared about. We get plenty of that.

 

[Hot5pur]

Sony fanboys are always a good example of tribalism. People will get tribal about anything, sports, iphone vs Android, it's in our DNA. Too many people just need to feel like they're part of the best group, because evolution. We're walking around with brains that are millions of years old, there have been no design improvements. This is a perfect example of it.

Also a 6/10 is really questionable. Reminds me how IGN and Gamespot decided to be edgy and give Gotham knights 5s and 6s.

 

[Scotty W]

If you have never sent a death threat to a gaming journalist, you are a casual.

 

[balls of snow]

Guess writers shouldnt review big AAA games. They should stay their lane and review indies.

 

[SLB1904]

Man this game is sending people into spiral

 

[Ezekiel_]

Ezekiel_ i didnt know you were capable of such vitriol and anger. i thought you were just a troll

That's too much effort, an emoji usually gets the point across

 

[SportsFan581]

Not enough Halo references.

 

[AmuroChan]

If you feel like your life is threatened, immediately report to the authorities. People on social media aren't going to be able to help you in any meaningful way if there is a crazy person out there who's trying to physically harm you.

If someone broke into my house and I feel endangered, I don't tweet and cry for help. I call 911.

 

[Puscifer]

His review score seemed a bit disingenuous.
6/10 is just… outrageous
But death threats over review scores?

Insane. Nothing surprises me anymore these days tho.

If you wonder why Sony favors Metacritic, this is why.

I mean why is it disingenuous? Nintendo and Sony games get a bump up and we all know it. Majority of those games do not deserve perfect scores and I'm not going to lie when I tell you that so far Ragnarok honestly looks to be more of the same so far in terms of gameplay.

 

[64bitmodels]

i wonder if you can laugh someone to death. how would that feel like?

 

[DeepEnigma]

That review was great and says a lot about the state of AAA gaming these days.

Did you see what he gave a 10 to?

Threats came from here,

 

[Balducci30]

I mean this happens over everything these days

The threat posted doesn't sound serious, I doubt someone is calling 911 over that.

 

[nowhat]

[Robbinhood]

You won't see this from Xbox fans.

Because they would have to quit their jobs to keep up with the 6/10s.

Maybe your favorite company isn't good at it. have you thought about that? Instead of acting like victim

 

[Calling 911 Melts Beams]

what a fucked up thing to do givng a 5 out of 10 game a 6 out of 10

wow he deserves it

 

[proandrad]

It's 2022, are we still taking death threats over a video game review score seriously?

 

[phaedrus]

 

[ThisIsMyDog]

Perfect score is 8/10, everything above is paid by $ony.

 

[ACESHIGH]

I'd add rockstar to that list. Early 00s trash mission design, terrible controls but the games get 95+ score on metacritic.

I love the fact that no one here played the game yet they know that it's a 10/10.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Prolly a gaf member seeing as how 90% of you all are jerking off to critic scores.

I mean I'm saying this as a "Sony pony" that the only reason I gravitate towards them is strictly because of how much I like their games. Microsoft's outputs isn't interesting to me, Nintendo makes a few games a generation I want to play, I have a PC for games that I prefer with a mouse and keyboard but honestly if things just aren't to my liking the worst thing that could happen is I quit gaming and find a new hobby. I already bike, go camping, hiking, etc so games are just another thing I do. Maybe I'll do puzzles or scale models instead but nothing about a video game could irritate me to the point I'll feel like threatening someone's life over a video game.

 

[AmuroChan]

The threat posted doesn't sound serious, I doubt someone is calling 911 over that.

I agree, but the reviewer and some other folks seem to be taking it seriously. So my advice to them is, if you do think it's serious, report it to the authorities.

 

[SlimySnake]

Jesus

 

[waquzy]

Go to the authorities then why broadcast to the internet? If you really believe it's a legitimate threat

Sorry but this shit is getting tiring.

Almost as tiring as the: "Mods, please ban me" threads here on gaf.
