Supposedly it’s extremely uncomfortably violent. Like you feel bad killing people so you’d rather do stealth.

I'm getting older, hate diving into media with the ultra violence. It affects my mood, I can get depressed. Then depression for me leads to extreme drug abuse, next thing I know I'm laying in a 36" drainage pipe breaking up a line of dope. Not good.

The refreshing part about playing games like DOOM Eternal, you still get the violence but without the "realism", it is "cartoonish" and "fun".

Oh gawd

That movie almost ruined a love of SW.

Good luck I still had Legends/EU stuff, the things I actually enjoy, the weird parts of the SW universe.

There is a reality out there where I don't have my dog, or the dog isn't as cute.

That poor me ..

It isn’t at all.

It is the same issue with movies.

I like listening to some youtubers Who used to write for the Xbox magazine and they were going through their old game collections to see who had the worst rated game.

They reference that certain games, based on whether they are AAA or otherwise, are systemically given no less than a certain score.

The companies also instruct their writers to give certain games certain scores because access to the gaming companies can be complicated.

Same thing happens with movie reviewers.

There is nothing subjectively real within the “reviewing community”.

im still getting it for the gameplay and production value, but....

this will be Last Jedi all over again. the story sounds like shite

quote:

"In my very personal very subjective view, the problem with the Last of Us 2 is that there is no commitment whatsoever to the story and the characters that so many people fell in love with. This is a petty revenge plot full of shitty, unlikable people where most of the characters could be swapped out for any other and it wouldn’t make any difference. Ellie’s story in the first game was so unique, only she could have had that journey. Here this story is just one of what is probably thousands of revenge stories unfolding in this broken world. It feels dime a dozen and utterly inconsequential."


quote:

Despite Druckmann’s promised “philosophical questions,” I never felt like the game asked me anything. Instead, it told me “brutality,” repeatedly and louder, until by the end I couldn’t hear what it was trying to say at all. Characters make hideous, irredeemable choices, over and over. Everybody suffers, physically and emotionally, in graphic detail. This is all intended to prove a point, but the only point I got from the game was simply to be required to stare at violence, and play through violence, and then do that again, and more, and again, and more.

Yup. If you rag on a game or a certain dev they will pull access to review copies of future titles.

Agree.

As we all know, it is one reason independent reviewers on YouTube/Twitch/Etc popularity is at an all-time high.

Paid might be wrong but you are a clown if you can't see the ridiculous slant on sites like Rotten Tomatoes giving uber positive reviews to absolute shite.

Same shite is happening with video game review sites.

And I am talking about really bad content. I get all of our tastes are subjective but some things should be considered garbage by all and yet if there is a political angle, it become A+ by liberal reviewers.

It isn't as bad in video game reviews but I have seen some recent reviews that show it creeping in.
