    Make a 6/10 game

    Add a cutscene that shuns the act of throwing babies like a football

    Claim all criticism is from the pro-throwing baby crowd

    Its a really good game, but metacritic won’t do the smart thing and just remove any review where the main complaint is “woke” “pronouns” or “DEI”

      Good in what way? It looks pretty generic at best.

        in the way that I’m enjoying my time with it a lot and will be sad when it’s over. idk I’m not a reviewer, I just know what makes me happy.

          It’s great that it makes you happy, but that does not make the game objectively good.

      I think you can look at it 2 ways. I think this game is reviewbombed into a positive score, as well as it being review bombed downwards.

      Is that really the smart thing?

      I’m fairly confident that would be about as good for them as shooting themselves in the foot.

      You have to realize what world you’re living in. These people and their agreeing friends aren’t just a loud minority, just yesterday they demonstrated something that really should have informed your worldview more than it seems to have, given what you suggest here. That kind of removal would be unpopular, a lot of people would drop Metacritic fast.

      To an extent I agree with them, in that they ruined the tone of the game, but unlike these reviewers I personally think developers are allowed to make standalone slop. It doesn’t ruin anything I’ve bought from them before.

      Finally by all reasonable accounts it absolutely is a woke, pronoun-conscious, DEI focused game. Those words wouldn’t even really be out of place if one showed up in a positive review.

      You have to learn to think before you make yourself more unpopular.

        What good do a lot of user ratings do anyone if it’s just brigaded by people who haven’t played the game and were told to be upset about it by some influencer who has far more of a political agenda than the thing they’re upset about?

            I did read what you wrote. I don’t know how metacritic solves the problem without proof of ownership like Steam has, but there’s a huge disparity between metacritic brigades and people who own the game. Searching for a few of those key words is going to be a quick way to filter for them, generally.

              Yeah, the quick way to filter them is a quick way to piss off Metacritic users.

              How the fuck can you claim to have read what I wrote?

                I don’t know how I could have written what I did without reading what you wrote. I think it’s just more of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t thing. And no positive review would have those words in them, because they’re not qualities that a fan of the game would notice (or even be able to define).

                Oh no, they lost a bunch of people who only joined to troll reviews? What a shame

                  This is the casually dismissive attitude that got you the next 4 years. You should know how this would go, but you’re apparently still in a bubble?

    I’ve watched some gameplay and dialogue sequences and it all seems so vanilla and boring.

    Like Marvel movie tier writing and combat.
