Thanks for explaining. The bolded bit is what I take issue with, creating problems where there is none...
Re the reviews trying to avoid them as they can be detailed and give stuff away.
No worries. You read a couple of comments on here and went with them, it happens mate. But the review is how I said, she isn't making a big deal or dropping marks for anything like that, what she said makes sense if you think about the overall point.
The cultural issues mentioned in the Gamespot review were things like being able to go to Japantown and buy something that looks like a yukata but is named slightly differently. Or Mexican day of the dead references being a bit off in their translations. If that's the gravest of cultural reference faux pas, and they are the ones she specifically mentions, then it's not even mountain out of molehill territory.
I do understand the complaint that the main story and the side missions/exploring are mismatched in terms of tone and tempo. But that happens in so many RPGs. Games like this just aren't suited to rapid playthroughs by reviewers.
She doesn't even mention the issues with pronouns, it's the Polygon review that dedicates a few chapters to that, as you'd expect.
Yup. People really need to stop jumping to conclusions...
Kallie Plagge reviewed the game on Gamespot, so it basically means it is a terrible review that is to be ignored. Her Days Gone review is one of the worst reviews I have ever read.
Shocker. I'm sure she has an agenda too.
