The fuck you at the end was a bit much but the rest is pretty much how I imagine any "professional gaming enthusiast media reviewer" to feel about the game if they didn't have to worry about PR relationships.
Exactly. Remember when this happened during the EGM days?
And we all rejoiced cause it felt like maybe, just maybe we'd get some semblance of transparency during a time when literally every single feature or review read like it was handled by the publisher's PR division?
Also, people shit on David Cage games day and night. Hell that's Amir0x's bread and butter. I actually enjoy DC's games for some of the emotions (like sheer panic) they elicit but I can acknowledge when the writing is garbage or how there's no semblance of agency whatsoever in a title like Beyond. I have no idea why people are fighting tooth and nail to (as ghst put it) retcon the narrative surrounding the Order so that people come to realize it's some misunderstood sleeper hit or something.
