Well the trolls seem to be awake today

If there's a Greek god in a wheelchair like I hear then I won't bother either. Gay content is fine, it was pretty accepted in ancient Greece afaik so no issues there since it fits. That's all I think most people want, or at least what I want, I obviously don't speak for anyone else. I want fantasy that's grounded with some canonical mythology. I don't want something that looks like it came from a studio in downtown LA and I certainly don't want to feel like every person on the planet has some form of representation in the game.

I havent used Ignore for so many years, because it was not needed, but after SBI drama I started to really appreciate this function. I use it on games tainted by SBI or other woke political garbage propaganda, and this black list is getting bigger every day. Today I watched video that said Kotaku recommends Hades2 (which is like big red warning sign), and few screenshots of characters from this game. Fastest ignore in my life.

Right, but can you translate this comment into English?

Can anyone translate what any of this is supposed to mean?

In other post you didnt understand what I meant, here you dont understand OP. English is not your native language, huh? Maybe grab a book and learn some.

They are saying "I've lost interest in your game because the praise from that author for that magazine leads me to believe it's going to be like other things that author and magazine praise rather than what they decry".

I understand English perfectly fine. I just don't understand what all these gibberish terms & slangs that -as far as I can tell- mean nothing are supposed to.. you know, mean.

Yeah, can't think for themselves. They have to get a nod of approval from the authority figures they like and something gets praise from someone they don't like: "it's the W0rsT ThInG oN EaRtH!1!1!!!1"

Believe it or not, but you can actually get useful information from reviewers to help judge how likely you'll enjoy a game before you buy it.

But in this case it probably is at least partially motivated out of spite, since the specific author has recently been rather malicious in regard to the positive reception of Stellar Blade.

Although I'd never heard of her before this week; maybe she has had some time to build up a reputation previous to this and I'm just unaware. (Kotaku's been a laughing stock for as long as I remember though) But in my uninformed opinion she's just living up to a meme so people see her as one.

[kozz]

are you people even real? do you guys ever form your own opinions?

"kotaku praised this game so it must be bad" and im sure they've praised games like bg3 and rdr2 as well, so therefore those games must be bad too? i haven't seen a legitimate reason for the reactions this game has been getting besides "woke" or "kotaku" or "sbi". you guys just repeat the same buzzwords over and over like drones and then convince yourselves you're the epitome of free thinking

True, but a good reviewer will usually argue the reasons why they don't like a game. And a cognitive capable person will judge if those arguments resonate with them.
This petulant mewling is all because someone they don't like, likes the game. It's mind bogglingly stupid. And if it really is just because that Kotaku Reviewer doesn't like Stellar Blade they want to have some kind of childish moral victory it is beyond stupid.

Personally, I won't be playing Stellar Blade... Until they bring it out on PC and it has more to it than, albeit, stunning visuals.

That's just a part of the picture.

Explanations of why the reviewer doesn't like the game can suggest it will be something that you will view positively.

Conversely, explanations of why a reviewer likes a game can highlight things that you will view negatively.

And there's also things that just give you information about the game that can influence your opinion but is unrelated to whether the viewer liked or disliked it.

To be fair, Stellar Blade is mid AF. It so desperately tries to be both Sekiro and NieR: Automata at once and it fails at being half as good as either. It's not even average, it's just barely playable slop. It feels like a shovelware Playstation 3 launch title.

I'll wait to lay the final verdict but it surely is a big red flag.
