A lot of really interesting stories and premises don't quite come together because the writing often isn't there to hold everything up. I think ultimately what it comes down to is that for the most part gaming needs better writers.

I don't think it's as jarring as Forspoken but it certainly could have been written a lot better as well. That's where the writers failed, and hopefully they can work on that for the sequel.Īs for Atomic Heart? Yeah, he does swear a lot and he has a very macho personality. Her character could have swore a lot, made little snarky comments and jokes, and that all could have worked if the writing was better. Yeah people swear and can have abrasive personalities, but in Forspoken it felt jarring and unnatural and unnecessary. Taking a political and ideological side most definitely affects the view of the game.Īs someone who comes from a European background, has many smart mouthed women in my family, and is also friends with people of various ethnicities who lived in really shitty areas, nothing about the dialogue in Forspoken is natural. We don't even know the facts about the studios and what their view on the war is but despite that it is being reviewed low. Other reviewers deducted points just to penalise the games score.įor Atomic hearts the Russian hate that the game is getting.

A 1/10 from The Wired is proof that Jorno Reviewers are severely out of touch and don't review out of merit or being impartial. There is a gross misinterpretation and a small minority of people are judging a video game based her views. Some people will say that JK Rowling is a transphobe based on what she said, she merely stated a fact. Hogwarts Legacy reviews had a statement about JK Rowling and Atomic Hearts had one about the Russian and Ukraine war.īoth of these examples are subject to interpretation. Never seen a series of reviews that outright voice a political side in an opening statement.

'Nah, reviewers can review however they want and we can have an opinion on how they do it. We are talking about a controversial game. What do you think I meant when I said when people hold a certain view? It's kinda obvious isn't it. 'Basically, it's like High on life.You either laugh or hating it people you hold certain views.' 'No, you didn't properly voice your thought.'
