"Show is bad because show is bad because show is bad."

There I've pretty much summed it up. There are no real substantive arguments pushed forward or referenced, mostly just circular reasoning and confirmation bias.

I suspect it's an article that tries to pass as objective and without emotions, but is probably in reality a passive aggressive anti DEI/CRT/Woke/PC/Civil rights rant.

Meanwhile I've never played the games, watched it with zero expectations and despite being very picky about my TV series I'm quite enjoying it. I'm also not bigoted, so there's probably that which helps tons to avoid the "icks" some people seem to experience watching it.

I had to take brief looks at every "review" listed here to find a review made from using a PC (RPS). Several of the reviews say nothing about the hardware the game reviewer used. All of the reviews read like the reviewer is scared to tell you what he really thinks because he worries about not being sent more free games to "review." Not encouraging. I read in one review that the reviewer used checkpoint saves--the only one of all of them that thought the save-game function was worth revealing, even off-handedly, as was done. I typically stay away from checkpoint-only save-game function.

The "first look at gaming" video one review included made the game look like a running simulator, and the only place you see both the main characters together is in combat--while running, the viewpoint is that of one of the characters looking at the lead character as he runs. Combat is simply typical of other games and even if you turn off the QTE's you still have to hit keys to dodge, I gather, and combat looks like "Final Fantasy meets the Eldtree."

It's unusual to see a game like this released without a decent trailer--as the "first look at gaming" video clearly says "work in progress." Some of the reviews appeared to be little more than the rewording of other reviews. Anyway, I'll pass for now.

PLEASE just stop tying in any media with the movie era. Vast majority of people despise the sequels, tv shows are absolute slop(except andor i guess) and alot think that Filloni is a hack. Abandon memberberries and just go x years into the future. DO NOT even mention Skywalkers.

What’s “memberberries” ?

It's what "edgy" people call nostalgia. A generic derogatory term to rag on things they don't like that rely heavily on nostalgia. The Deadpool movies get this thrown at them quite a bit on certain boards.

That is completely wrong. It's a South Park gag.

bRUH, you're both 100% Correct!

If they made it challenging, added actual reasons to be always online, raids and battlegrounds like WoW

In a year it will look like Doom Eternal.

It may look like Doom Eternal but it will still play like shit and have tons of AI glitches like seen here. Because AI only understands how things are supposed to look, not how they work, are fun, challenging or visually interesting.

Quake literally paved the way for modern gaming -- true 3D, brought GPUs to the forefront, bullied DirectX into becoming something amazing, revolutionized multiplayer gaming, invented client prediction, pioneered modding, and spawned so many talented studios through the modding community...

How is it not even on this list!?

... just because the game is being defined, by the developer, as a free to play game, one has to be viewed as stupid or insane to spend money on the game

Spending money on a F2P game once it's finished is obviously kinda "normal" if one is inclined to engage with whatever there is to buy (MTX etc.) but paying a $30 entrance fee for fucking Early Access to play some unfinished crap, the finished version of which will be F2P and undoubtedly by definition much more finished and improved... yes... "stupid", "insane"... well, yeah, we're not too far off course with those adjectives...

We don't want to see censorship so it would be nice if westerners were capable of some introspection too. Try saying "free Palestine" in a western game and see how far you get. Western censorship is rife, it's just enacted in different ways.

"2. No ethnic slurs, sexism, homophobic language, or other forms of intolerance."

My message - deleted by a moderator (who?) - contained none of that, unless the "other forms of intolerance" is so loose that basically any comment expressing distaste applies.

If so, the comment above me should also be removed. And a whole lot in many other threads.

Should I start reporting them all? I'm sure they'll be treated equally.

A good example of FAFO denial.
