I feel ya. I mean I completed every Three Hopes route and am sitting around 110 Hours into Engage nearing the end of my second back to back playthrough (which, you know, self inflicted) , so I know those games can eat up time lol.

I bought Holy Knight and somehow need to put time aside for that.
Witch is pretty short! Only like 15 hours for the main plot (there are extras that will take a few hours more if you do them).

Completely embarrassing shitshow of a "reviewzone" topic.

I seriously did not expect things to get worse than the Rings of Power or Bayonetta 3 topic but users like UshiromiyaEva and Kamikaze Potato have got to be angry mid 30s to early 40s basement dwelling social outcasts to post stuff this embarrassing. There's just no other explanation.

Having inexplicably biased agendas against successful high profile video game releases, wishing new video game projects that developers put their heart and soul into, to fail possibly because they can't afford things anymore with their grandmother's allowance. Just sad man. UshiromiyaEva. Dude just do yourself a favor and stay off these topics man.

I'm 34 thanks and I've been friends with some of them since childhood. And while they are total whackjobs when it comes to these things, it is only a part of their personality. Something like this might not mean anything to the average person but for someone like me who loves video games and have been passionate about it as his hobby since early childhood, it feels a little personal because other than my kids, wife and family, it is my most cherished thing.

We should take joy in seeing video games succeed, not hope it fails. Like I completely get it, if you actually play the game and then air your dirty laundry. You have the right to do so then and you're entitled to your opinion.

But to completely shit on a product before it even comes out, to completely shun it, encourage boycotts, encourage piracy and roast it based on a single somewhat poorly worded review in the context of its final score (which Kamikaze cherry picked to make it look even more out of context and exaggerated) looks like a pathetic agenda especially when it is a reoccurring theme in these topics. Which is why I'm assuming the case of some of my friends from life as an example of either being too poor, too stingy, too wrapped up in political correctness because they have no child, no wife, no life. And I say it to their face just like I would if I ever see anyone spout nonsense like that.

That's a good point, not many b8ers have been playing games since childhood, let alone normies. The most I do is make games professionally, so I can't say much.

But it does suck that to be passionate in this hobby you must ardently defend JKR's violent bigotry, vote for Trump/McConnell, support the growing military-industrial complex, etc. Seems like there should be a better way to enjoy the medium.

Not defending JK Rowling at all if that is your take from my posts nor do I in any way agree with her views. Don't give a shit about Trump either because I'm not a US citizen. This is not the point I'm trying to make. I know for a fact that I'm not racist, homophobic, transphobic so that part is the last thing on my mind when it comes to the product.

The game is created by thousands of developers. Most likely some are good people, some neutral, some evil. That isn't my concern because that's just nature, the end product that they bring out is what matters. If the game turns out to be a highly quality delightful gaming experience then I'm happy because I can indulge myself in a new experience that can entertain me for hours. If not, then I can just stop playing the game.

Now if JK Rowling inserted herself as a character and the game had transphobic content and prejudice then yes I completely agree with boycotts. That is why I have said the only media I will actively boycott for my own personal reasons is Aquaman 2 because Amber Heard is a character in that movie and it will be hard for me to separate suspension of disbelief to buy her as the Meera character because I just really really dislike her as a human being.

I did, I read you literally word for word detail the exact same feeling people have about as an unshakeable repulsion to an element of a piece of media - in this case, the queen figurehead of dehumanizing trans people. That does indeed tend to give that exact same unshakeable feeling of disgust that can't be overlooked for many since y'know, those are human lives under an immense deal of hatred and focus in the current political climate.

I absolutely grant you that there's a great many people who absolutely do not care and thus do not share that feeling of repulsion but I mean you absolutely did perfectly encapsulate the feeling others get from JK Rowling's prized hog.

So basically this topic is, everything and anything Harry Potter related is tainted and should be treated like leprosy no matter the quality of the product. Reviews praising Hogwarts Legacy are absolutely already paid for (according to UE with no sources). Aggregate critic review scores should be removed because it is completely biased (would absolutely love for our only other source of aggregate review scores to be user scores lol). People who enjoy anything associated with Harry Potter should feel bad and be met with scorn. Everybody needs to have the exact same level of emotional sensitivity otherwise fuck them.

Got it. So this is what I can expect from future ReviewZone topics about video games. I guess USA the country should have also been boycotted when the literal country decided to elect Donald Trump, then I guess.

Youre right. I just saw a chance to address my weird diplomatic hangup about countries having to act like obvious bad actors who wont work with them in good faith are really okay because they happen to be running an ally and took it. Sorry I dont want to derail the thread. So I will say this ties into the relevant point that you do not have to reward bad behaviour.

On the topic of royalties, I remember when the Enders Game movie came out and they tried to make it clear that Orson Scott Card wasnt getting anything from ticket sales (of course, many myself included still didnt want to support it). No such announcement on Rowling here. She is definitely getting paid off of sales of this thing as far as we know.

Paratroopa1 posted...
The IGN review makes the game sound like hot trash but then they just give it a 9 anyway because they like Harry Potter

Why should I listen to somebody who posts things that are completely false and hyperbole exaggeration?

The reviewer praises so many aspects and mechanics in the game. Nowhere in the review does he give off any impression of the game being, as you call it "hot trash". The main story, minor glitches and performance issues are about the only major issues brought up by the reviewer. And while you can argue the final score, Fire Emblem Engage literally had the exact same 9 score from IGN and they panned the story and characters of that game as well.

Right, so you fully understand and agree with the concept behind game's boycott, you just don't think JKR's transphobia and racism is that big a deal.

Now imagine IF trans people, immigrants, Irish, etc were treated as poorly as Johnny Depp. Then you might understand the boycott a little better.
