Someone is going to have to explain this one to me. What does Hard R even mean? I've never heard this in my life. Is that supposed to be something offensive?

 

[hinch7]

Not for me but seems like a solid game, skimming through some of the reviews and having played the demo.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

The media trolling is fucking pathetic. But even worse are the people who give them any credibility.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

IGN review made it seem a lot better than a 7. Who cares if the story is ass in a gameplay focused game, I think all FROM stories are dogshit anyhow.

Yeah I don’t understand this criticism much

Nobody is playing these types of games for the story lol

IGN can eat a dick

 

[FalconPunch]

I bought the disc version just in case they try any censorship nonsense. Can always roll back.

You ever hear that there's two different versions of the N-word?

 

[//DEVIL//]

Lol at ign review. Woke as fuck mfers. Will buy the game day one and hope it sells great so everyone knows ign is shit along with their woke stupid ass wanna be journalists

 

[mortal]

It's reviewing rather well despite some of the reviewers going into it ready to hate it for the sex appeal.
It's safe to say it would be higher taking that particular bias into account.

 

[Punished Miku]

This is so stupid. What a Hard L. I would have never connected those dots in my life.

Exactly. These types of titles are all about pure gameplay. The story should be ridiculous and dumb. Just background noise for all of the action and eye candy.

 

[Draugoth]

The game would be sitting at 88 if it werent for the clearly biased reviews because of EVE body

 

[Madflavor]

This is so stupid. What a Hard L. I would have never connected those dots in my life.

I mean I think it's funny, but also fucking crazy they would put that in the game.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Jim and I are gonna be like this Friday

 

[Metnut]

Curious how the environments/exploration are if the story is weak. From are the only games with no story that I buy because the rest of the package is so good.

 

[Draugoth]

More biased reviews

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Why the fuck do Asian developers constantly hide the "hard" difficulty behind beating the game? The vast majority of the time I only play games once. Absolutely inexcusable

 

[Madflavor]

I'm seeing 82 on MC with 97 reviews.

They think Americans suck at video games.

 

[Garibaldi]

What's racist about Hard R? I feel like an outta the loop simpleton here

 

[Luipadre]

Yeah if you take away the scores from the people with mental health issues its basically a 85+ game

 

[ssringo]

Sure. I'll risk my first ban to spell it out for anyone not getting it due to language barriers or unfamiliarity with the subject.

"Nigga" is the less offensive version used between people. Can be a friendly "whats up my nigga?! Haw ya doing?!" *fist bump*. Or confrontational like in a schoolyard fight "what's up then nigga!" *punches in face*

"NiggeR" is the slur and the one used historically (check out Django Unchained). It's said with a "Hard R".

No ban please?

Yeah, someone else explained it. I mean if they want to remove that, it's fine. I genuinely would have never even noticed it, so it's nothing lost really if they take it out. I guess I just never think about that word ever. Didn't even occur to me.

Thanks for the clarification. I understand why they are patching it but technically it's says Hard R Shop. But hey ho.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Demo seemed kind of meh to me but I’m glad it’s getting good reviews for those looking forward to it. Seems like people overestimated the negativity reviewers would have. I think it speaks to the fact that there are more reviewers with at least a little integrity than we thought, and that for all of the reviewers pandering to one crowd, there are others who will swing the opposite way. At the end of the day removing all the drama it seems were left with a solid action game.

I’ll probably check it out after a price drop or on PC but I’m kind of burned out after getting the plat in Ronin.

 

[Varnish La PS]

Totally a ballistic missile to woke fucks.

Lmao

 

[ToneyJ]

if this ends up at 80+ it’s a huge win!

 

[Fake]

At this point IGN is doing just for the hate clicks.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Looking gooood!

 

[mejin]

Solid reviews with some rotten apples as expected.

In reality, the people who care one way or the other add up to like 2% of gamers. Most people don't give a shit. It's just loud people on Twitter and forums screaming at the top of their lungs

 

[yazenov]

Solid reviews with some rotten apples as expected.

Yeah, this game will end up around the 81 to 85 range as most of us expected. It would be much higher without the trash-woke reviews.

 

[j0hnnix]

84! not bad so far.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

84! not bad so far.

82. Starfield is better.

 

[rofif]

Real review from real gamer.


82 seem offending if starfield got 83.... Granted, We've not played the game yet but it's such a breath of fresh air.
Halo Infinite got 87 metascore and that is the biggest turd of 21st century.

 

[FunkMiller]

The desperation of some people to mark this game down because it has bouncy titties in it is palpable.

Clearly a very solid 8.5/10 for anyone who isn't sexually/socially awkward.

 

[Spukc]

Don’t google hotglue reddit

Also the fuck nobody played bayonetta?

 

[Arsic]

I get home tomorrow night and I already have tissues and lube ready to go.

 

[AmuroChan]

Some of these outlets can't die soon enough. I hope this game just blows up and becomes a huge commercial hit.

 

[phant0m]

More biased reviews

How do you call it "solid, engaging experience" and give it a 60?

 

[SaintALia]

It's reviewing rather well despite some of the reviewers going into it ready to hate it for the sex appeal.
It's safe to say it would be higher taking that particular bias into account.

Doubt that has anything to do with it much. It's an non-Western action game that isn't a cover shooter. I'm surprised it's scoring this well. I think only Bayo 2 ended up in the 90 MC range from what I remember. Neither Neir 2 or DMC5 saw 90 MC.

I've only seen one review that leans into that anti-sex appeal stuff and it isn't even listed in the OP(in that review it got 5/10).

 

[TheThreadsThatBindUs]

When you're a radical leftist activist retard, masquerading as a videogame reviewer, you don't concern yourself with such trivial things as rationality or logical consistency.

 

[vagabond-]

Game is good (no shit sherlock) and retard era got cooked? amazing day

hope it sells some millions in the first month

 

[Chuck Berry]

Dude approves of course

I never said it would be in the 90s range, it is reviewing rather well, after all. One reviewer openly admits to it, but some other reviews do criticize the sex appeal in their reviews, which would likely be a reason to score it lower.

 

[Raven117]

Is the story anywhere near as good as Neir Automata?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Take out the scores where they criticise and focus in on the sexualisation and the score would probably be close to 90 right now.

I'd say an 85 without the biased reviews. Sad that everything has to be political like this. Either way I'm buying it this week, because I like fun games and I 100% will support new dev studios that lean into stuff like this.

 

[e0n]

The review gave it 4/5 stars, this is a Metacritic problem.
