That con automatically drops quite a few points from the score for me. Will play it, but I'm not in a hurry. Can't see it surpassing the last Prince of Persia, though.
People thinking/wanting this to be Dragon Age Orgins 2.0 need to remember Dragon Age never tried to be that again. Like it or not that was something Bioware didn't want to put out again. After that the games were more focused on action. If two out of three games weren't strategy-oriented I'd say the series stopped being that. For me, it was a blessing, Origins was such a chore, from the gameplay to the writing. Finished like 6 times both 2 and Inquisition, got the Platinum in both but never went back to replay Origins.
You have a race elf-like characters, a race that looks like humans with horns characters, some other race that look like animals, then you have a race with animal tails, and fairies. And that's just some of them. I'd say that's diverse.

Re: Naughty Dog Turns Off Intergalactic PS5 Trailer's Comments As Discourse Turns Nasty
I never really thought any of ND's games were more than okay, so I'm not interested in this one, but not for the reasons most are complaining.
Still, it's interesting to read the comments defending this game when some games from other studios are attacked for similar reasons.

Re: Mini Review: Nine Sols (PS5) - The Best Metroidvania on the Market
That con automatically drops quite a few points from the score for me.

Re: How Well Do You Know Yakuza / Like a Dragon?
I don't think remembering the name of one monkey in one substory in one game is something most people are gonna do. 😂
Re: Astro Bot Blasts Past Elden Ring, Currently 2024's Highest-Rated Release
I would say it's not that hard to find someone who doesn't like 3D platformers nor Soulslikes.
Re: Marvel Rivals Goes Gold Ahead of PS5 Launch, Expect It to Explode
Looks better than Concord... And for free.
Re: GOTY Dark Horse Balatro's Popularity Explodes Following TGA Nomination
It's going to be Wukong or the DLC. Even if they don't deserve it.
Re: Rumour: Mortal Kombat 1's Future DLC Cancelled After Poor Sales of Khaos Reigns

I think the last GOTY winner I actually liked was The Witcher 3 back in 2015.
Re: Opinion: The Game Awards' Persona 3 Reload Disrespect Is Crazy
Decent game that's not even a new thing and just a copy and paste of P5.
Didn't deserve anything.
