Kafkaesque

@nessisonett I had opinions before playing. After playing those opinions were confirmed. I knew I'd hate the story, but I wasn't prepared for just how unbelievably dull the gameplay would be. Also did I mention crunch culture alone? Nah pretty sure I listed a few reasons people were pissed at ND.

@nessisonett pre-owned copy sat on my shelf right now. Courtesy of a friend. Made it 8 hours in before calling it quits. I guess your conveniently constructed narrative is preferable though

@jbreez00 if you don't know about the blatant false advertising re. switching character models in trailers etc then that's on you. Not my place to inform you, bud

@LiamCroft ohh I apologize. I'll leave you to your echo chamber, little fella. After all word are violence and all that jazz

@nessisonett yes dearie because everyone is like yourself and draws their opinion solely from others. Couldn't possibly be I played the game and made up my own mind. Yawn

@Spinachie oh look. Another lemming

Let's see how well the next naughty dog game sells, shall we.

@nessisonett no mention of the people who gave tens to TLOU2 downvoting ghosts? Nah that doesn't fit your agenda, does it, little fella

@lordzand yeaaah hmm I am gay myself, sweetie so your pathetic attempts to muddy the water by associating me with bigots ain't gonna work. Also disagreeing with someone.... isn't censorship, you silly child. Just exposed how truly ignorant you really are. Again it comes down to principles. You have none. Therefore you can't wrap your head around other people's argument. Simple

@lordzand if you had any principles you would understand why people have a problem with censorship. You'd rather assume everyone is like yourself and has no such principles, but I assure you not everyone is as base as yourself

I'm loving it so far.

Man this game is tedious. I knew I'd hate the story, but didn't expect it to be so damn dull to play through. Really not understanding the praise it's received.

Actually scratch that last part. I know exactly why it's received so much praise. Pandering

@LiamCroft but they were also complete games. The dlc they released were full blown expansions, which was pretty standard for games back in the day. Now they're all cutting content to sell back to gamers separate

No way. The games industry loves to push this lie that games are £50 and blah blah intentionally leaving out the fact they're increasingly selling dlc, season passes, special editions etc.. CDPR proves you don't have to do that to be profitable so the industry can take a run and jump for trying to nickel and dime gamers even more than they already do.

@Kasabian I call him Cuckman because I see it as appropriate. The guy uses people like myself to screech to the whole world about HIMSELF and how wonderful he is. The guy is a bully and a narcissist using others to draw attention and praise to himself while also shielding his ***** behaviour from critique by just screeching "bigots waaaaa"

@Commander91_YT yeah erm I'm gay and mixed race dude, so your accusations of bigotry don't work against me. Like I said, Lemming!

@Commander91_YT yes yes you're for all the good things and against all the bad things. You're so wonderfully virtuous 🙄

@Commander91_YT yup nevermind the crunch culture and numerous stories about what a ***** person Druckmann is, I'm just a hater. Jesus you lemmings are pathetic. You're exactly what creeps like Druckmann rely on to get away with their shady *****. Zero principles

Utter *****. No thanks, Cuckman

Looks interesting

Naughty Dog has a hell of a lot of talent. Unfortunately they also have Neil Druckmann in charge so ...

Not sure what's inaccessible about Monster Hunter World for kids and teens. Except for the challenge I suppose.

Damn

I don't like the story either, but a petition to demand changes is just silly. It won't accomplish anything. For better or worse this is the story that Druckmann wanted to tell and not even a billion signatures would convince him otherwise.

@Taylorzombie I'm sure you'd be delighted with the rewriting of canon for some arbitrary sense of "muhhh diversity", but quite frankly I couldn't care less if Kratos was gay. As for why I comment on articles about the game, why do you care?

@LieutenantFatman oh come on, man. Would it be nice if everybody was kind online? Sure it would. Id love that tbh, but "hate crime online". That's just silly. You cant stop people being jerks and attempting to do so is a step too close to fascism for my taste

@LieutenantFatman hate crime on social media hahahaha. You're insane, man

@Flaming_Kaiser are you still talking? Look outside of your circle jerk, buddy and you'll find plenty of people who hate the game. And sure there will be some bigots who are just hating on it for the inclusion of LGBT characters, but the vast majority are people who have real issues with the story and NDs attitude overall. As for me having better things to do, you're replying to me, sweetie. What does that say about you?

Nothing about the masses of people trying to return it and being refused? Interesting that

@Taylorzombie you seem to feel the need to reply to everyone who disagrees with you. Are you really so insecure about your purchase ?

I cancelled my collector's edition preorder after the leaks emerged. After watching and reading a bunch of reviews I don't regret that decision. The story would have pissed me off way too much. I'm not paying for that

@verynaughtyboy I say that based on history. The media has a habit of falling all over themselves to praise something that's "progressive" and dismissing all criticism as bigotry. That's why I dislike people like Druckmann. I believe he uses people like myself as a shield for his own ego trip.

@Arnna self loathing? Hahaha wow

@Arnna barking up the wrong tree and completely proving my point. I'm gay and mixed race, dear. Anything else you'd like to accuse me of? It is in fact people like YOU who are the problem!

@Flaming_Kaiser no, I don't.

@JapaneseSonic my main issue is Druckmanns attitude would suggest it's exactly the latter. Not just his reaction to the initial reaction to the leaks, but things he's said for years. He strikes me as a cynical actor, using LGBT people for self aggrandisement and I take huge issue with that.

@DigaMecR10 you're right and I apologize. It's a maddening issue for me, but there was no need to insult. Its counter productive.

@zebric21 leaking sure. Discussing it is not against the law. Also the YouTubers being striked, many didn't even include a shred of the leaked footage.

@JapaneseSonic I guess my main issue is the motivation behind the story. Neil Druckmann has made his political leanings very clear. His reaction to people disliking this direction is also kind of a self fulfilling prophecy. When you go into making something with the idea that you're going to "own the bigots" by including LGBT characters etc, then it becomes agenda pushing imo. Once that becomes the perception then people who ordinarily have no issue with LGBT characters get annoyed at what the see as pandering. My own personal issue with the game has little to do with the game itself and more to do with the attitude surrounding it. I see people like Druckmann use people like myself to signal about how wonderfully virtuous they are. I see so many people in current times using our identities to service their own ego and standing. It bothers me. I'm not sure I've explained myself well here, but I appreciate you asking me the question and apologise for my original nasty attitude.

@Scollurio for me TLOU 1 was the perfect way to represent LGBT characters. Gay characters were there and nobody gave a crap. It wasn't made a big deal. It was refreshing to see LGBT people just treat like regular people, rather than these "suffering" tropes.

@DigaMecR10 paying attention to something and forming an opinion = mindless sheep? What planet are you on. It wasn't just the leaks that made up my mind. it was also Neil Druckmanns and the journos reactions to the backlash. It was naughty dog / Sony copyright striking any YouTubers who dared to discuss the leaks. It's called principles. Some people have them. Others don't.

@IronMike I referred to the media. Not a person.

@JapaneseSonic no I'm one of those games who doesn't appreciate their identity being used as a shield to deflect criticism. You know nothing about me and prove my point. You are closed minded

@LiamCroft that's fair. Name calling is childish. I simply don't appreciate being called a backwards thinker by a person who knows nothing about me. I'm gay, mixed race and my current partner is ftm. I'm tired of the idea perpetuated by the commenter and the likes of Neil Druckmann that anybody who has a problem with something that just so happens to include non straight characters is instantly a bigot. It's insulting. We do NOT all think the same and our identity is not a shield for people like Druckmann to virtue signal and ***** all over critics

@DigaMecR10 I haven't reviewed the game. I wouldn't waste my time. The second the leaks hit it was obvious that any genuine criticism of this game would be met with cries of waaaacist and bigot. You're a lemming, proving exactly the point that others made. Throw in some progressive nonsense and you cretins can't help but get all excited over it

About as shameful as you cretins in the media giving it glowing reviews based mostly on your political bias.

This is actually really nice. Everybody who wants to should be able to enjoy games.

@TrueAssassin86x Spiderman 😂😂😂. Silly shill child.

@TrueAssassin86x yes kiddo because of eveeeeryone who doesn't agree with you is just a troll.

Ah and so begins the shill media's campaign of Naughty Dog ass kissing. Hilarious
