After several purges at Metacritic, we're back up to over 135k user votes and a 5.6 score. With a lot of administrator privileges with zero oversight, they were able to bring it safely up over a 5. They know they can't bring it up to an 8 or a 9 (at least with people still following it... expect them to try to do it retroactively a year or two from now), and it will go down in history as yet another example of culture critics being completely out of touch with the people.


Nobody would have said anything if everybody gave it a 9 out of 10, but every single reviewer that writes in English gave it a perfect 100 score and starts their articles off about how stunning and brave the game was.

Nothing is perfect. Even my high school art teacher knew this, and that's what he told me 25 years ago when I asked him why he never gave "A+" grades in his class.

In art, 100 is an ideal. A concept. Something to strive for, but something that can never be attained. As a reviewer, you do nothing but damage your own integrity and devalue the worth of a perfect score by giving out 100s. This holds especially true when it comes out that the gameplay itself offers nothing new, and the only thing it really had going for it was a few years of graphical enhancements and an admittedly excellent voice acting cast. But there are other games out there you could say those two things about that weren't given perfect 100s. They just didn't say what the Marxists wanted them to say, so they didn't get the perfect score.


I don't think it's a mystery why retro-gaming has become so popular over the last 10 years and why so many of the kids in the Millennial and GenZ have taken to speedrun the classics rather than play the new games.

Games used to be fun. They didn't have agendas tied to their stories, and the technology wasn't there to do it even if the developers wanted to. Hell... half of those 100 review scores will tell you that the game isn't fun. Even the writer of the game Neil Druckman was quoted as saying "we don't use the word fun", when talking about his studio.

Nobody wants to pay to have somebody's politics and agendas forced down their throats, and they're tired of stories and characters ruined by the same people who have been rotting all other forms of entertainment from the inside out.


The first game sold over 17 Million copies since its launch. This sequel sold a record amount of copies at 4 Million during the first month of its launch. My prediction, which won't be fulfilled either way until at least 2027, is that this sequel will far under-perform the first game now that the initial launch is over and it was received so poorly from the general audiences in stark contrast to the access media critics.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Also looked like a dude to Sony, which is why it was uncensored sex.

Sony makes a point of censoring out boobs in all of their games when they come to the US. All of them.

Except for that dude's flat chest.

Dud

A thing that fails to work properly or is otherwise unsatisfactory or worthless.
"all three bombs were duds"

Stupid people don't know they're stupid, and they certainly don't realize how obvious it is to others.

You are just an incredibly shallow person. Looks don't matter a DAMN. We ALL end up worm food.

No one gives a damn what you look like.

Look at Nilbog virtue signalling for a video game character.

Only in bizarro 6ix world is being perfectly pretty an accomplishment.

Well, when one achieves so little to begin with...

My life is fantastic, Nilbog.

What did you do today besides teach your daughter why she should hate whites and males, and eat your body weight with your brain damaged husband?

I made a meal for my family. Went to town and picked up our prescriptions. Went to the store to get groceries for my 80% blind grandmother. Brought them back and we are doing water color paints of large basic forms because she can no longer leave the house. Was back in time to walk the dog and make my kiddo a snack and a glass of tea after she came home from work. Played Scrabble on hubbys break at work. Cleaned up the kitchen and did the bills.

What DO you do all day?? Have a full day of trimming your toenails? Watching the neighbors come and go and actually LIVING a life??

You don't read, have pets, have a hobby where you create anything, have people who know you are alive, have goals, or any kind of value system.

If you died, would anyone even come looking??



If your life is SO GREAT, why would you need to convince anyone of that??

It's obvious wish. Jacks a very unhappy gay man who is or isn't actively drinking, regardless of which remains a drunk.

Havd a good day wish

I'm not trying to convince you or anybody.

I'm laughing at you.

You keep talking about my life that used to be. Not the life I live now.


I wouldn't bring it up in a sci-fi film and sci-fi game thread at all if you weren't so obsessed with me and my life. You talk about me all the time.


I just have to wonder if your fat, pilled up, lobotomy brain lemming cuck of a husband ever gets jealous that you bring me up everynight when the three little piggies sit down to eat their McDonald's.

LOL. You keep saying your life is FANTASTIC but no one here has seen ANY evidence you do ANYTHING.

Yanno, flies buzz around a sewer all day, sure seems you have plenty in common with them, but no one believes your life is fantastic.

Plenty of evidence it's pathetic and always will be!
