Not surprising. All console versions are essentially the Xbone/PS4 version, and they've had to scale back so much to even make it work on those platforms that I'm guessing they don't believe it gives a fair representation of what the game is intended to be like.
Dunno about her, but I see yours is still doing nice and well.
I agree, it's also cowardly not being able to admit when you've made a wrong assumption about someone based on a one multi meaning word, but here we are.
I mean I don’t have too much of an issue with what I’ve read about the trans representation. However, from what I’ve read it’s that the game is full these seemingly soft drink advertisements that fetishise trans women and say ‘mix it up’ and then don’t actually offer the player the opportunity to play as a trans character. I mean the advert in and of itself is very tone deaf ‘mix it up, just like how a woman can have a penis geddit, eh geddit?’ . If you’re going to criticise people’s criticisms at least do your research.
I know! Obviously it won't meet that bar but being the maker of one of those games and somewhat of the genre of the other, just sounds like a dream come true really. I think the fact that bugs generally don't trouble helps in my case. Heck, I played Kingdom Come and they didn't bother me so that says a lot (the slow pace eventually did although I had a lot of fun with that game)Ooof, you don't need me to tell you that's high hopes!
But hey, if it's even close, I'm right there with you
Those two weren't but Skyrim, Elder Scrolls and Deus Ex 1 were buggy. Fallout is consistently hilarious in this respect. Witcher 3 I've heard was too but I played it a year after launch.
I did read about the ad. But the context is completely lost on that. The overall theme of the city has to be taken into consideration. It's not just one poster as lot of people pointed it out. There are other posters which have similar gratification theme. The argument was to include Trans character as NPC also since they used one poster. This I don't agree with. It's CDPR creative freedom to choose what to include and what not.
I work in the software industry in a company much much much smaller than CDPR, have dabbled in games programming. I shudder at the thought of the logistics to bring all those 100s of developers/artists etc together to create a single linear-type game, never mind a huge sprawling futuristic open-world game; just spent a minute or so of thinking about all the things that can go wrong and it's a scary thought.
I think this is my only issue with her reviews. She gives ratings that don't really seem fair. Like from the Cyberpunk review I thought she was describing an 8, maybe 9 out of 10 (I know she did mention the bugs were very prominent but she still seemed to be very impressed overall) yet she gave it a 7. I know you highlighted me over the trans issue but my only reasoning for bringing it up is because it did seem like a big reason for her dropping the game to a 7, and for the record I don't disagree with what she's saying (albeit I'd like to see and judge for myself) but it does seem a little nitpicky to me, to focus so much on it? That's all.
Death Stranding got some terrible reviews. Absolutely loved it. Ign didn't give Witcher 3 a 10 and gave GTa 4 that score. We know which one is considered among the greatest games ever made.
This is exactly why review scores are stupid. You can't sum up a huge, multifaceted, complex game in a single numerical score. I'd much prefer if no one actually gave review scores, thus forcing people to just read the damn thing. A game might have plenty of things about it that are not great - say, bugs, or average gunplay - but it depends on you how much those things matter to you. So it can be a 7/10 game for someone whose life is ruined by bugs but a 10/10 game for someone who doesn't give a shit because they grew up in a Bethesda lab.
Agreed, especially in a world of 40gb day one patches!
From what I understand, the bugs appear to be too many to fix immediately. So I'm going to either play it immediately knowing I'll be less bothered by it than others or B) hold off since I have Hollow Knight to play and complete which will take a bit to finish, anyway.
I believe the main story line is about 20-30 hours, but side quests will add a decent amount on to that. I’ve also read that some of your choices in early side quests will affect missions a lot later down the line:
Also, I think the length is a lot shorter because it allows second and third playthroughs with a different faction and character build.
Think it will be okay, just make sure you have 6 or 7 saves going on at a time and save often!
Video reviews so far have been exclusively using footage provided by CD Projekt themselves, early reviewers were not allowed to use their own. Once the game is out, we'll see actual, captured footage.
What's to admit? You never provided an explanation for your "word with multiple meanings" you just doubled down. Even now, you can't provide a simple answer and now here you are popping up in another controversial topic, not to talk about the game and the subject...no, you are here to denigrate a reviewer for daring to briefly mention it. Just because she gave it a lower score than others, and just because you didn't like a review of another game you love? Funny you haven't even mentioned the 'worse' reviews that actually talk shit, you've jumped on this one because others have mentioned it. You are obvious.
Provide a clear explanation for your views, and if I'm wrong I'll happily admit it. All I ask is to please spare me the regurgitated reddit shite that people posted when it turned out TLOU2 wasn't about an anti-lesbian cult and Abby being transgender
But in the mean time, once again, are you boycotting this game or can we talk about it as we play through? Because if we can't play nice we should let this thread get back on track.
