LMAO. One of his complaints is there's too much swearing. We're supposed to take this seriously?

It's not about the fact that there is a lot of swearing but about the difference in the linguistic style of two games that are barely one or two weeks apart in terms of content. Some players notice that and the criticism is quite justified, but whether you want to see it that way yourself or have a different opinion is just an individual story. To each his own.

I'm just feeling sad to see that 99 % of people nowadays - like this Synthetic Man - are just braindead id...s, at least US-American people.

4 hour review from a guy I've never heard of with only 12K views...is this your review you're just shilling?

reeeeeee if you dont care why are you commenting?

It is Youtube content like this that makes me really, really miss when all gaming coverage was handled via print from professional entertainment journalism outlets. Now we see a bunch of impressionable people forming para-social relationships with outrage peddling Youtube gaming pundits who just recite whatever right-wing garbage they got from other Youtube grifters.

People should be more particular about where they get their information but that is sadly just a pipe dream on my part.

lots of trolls, npcs and leftoids in this thread arguing and gaslighting each other. If you don't understand why this game is woke and leans left, then you're not noticing enough. Choosing to remain ignorant and sticking your head in the sand for the last 6 years is lazy.

What difference? KCD 1 didn't have Shakespearean dialogue and KCD 2 wasn't written any differently

I watched entirety of it and agree with most of it.. After finishing KCD2, the first game seems superior.

for real? even if you dont agree with the take a guy spending 3 hours explaining what he means is way better than the paid for corpo review telling you to buy new game

That's just NPC talk, go turn on your boomer box and tune out instead of baiting contrarians.

Yes. For real.

I suppose I should provide a bit of context. I am talking more about the mid 90's to very, very early 2000's period in regards to gaming press coverage. Back when one needed to have some level of skill and education in order to get a job writing for a gaming magazine. A time when one needed more than blind outrage, ignorant cynicism, and tired, meme based humor to actually get stuff published.

Sadly. Those days are long over. Between the often repeated but very poorly explored narrative that "all gaming press is corrupt" (a pretty interesting topic to delve into actually) and the push to more directly compete with amateur online gaming pundits (via Youtube, blogs, etc), there just isn't much of that kind of thing left. The gaming press got trapped in a race to the bottom with angry gaming content creators and everyone but the content creators lost (including the audience).

Outrage, cynicism, and memes sell and Youtube gaming pundits like the one in the video are going to tell you exactly what you want to hear in exactly the way you want to hear it for the sake of "audience engagement", ad revenue, Patreon support, and a better place in the algorithm. They are perhaps even more corrupt in that way than any established gaming journalist from a real publication ever was.

Not reading all that. Nobody is outraged, we are simply tired of gaming industries pandering to woke nonsense to an audience that doesn't exist. Tired of disinformation being treated as a fact and propaganda shoved in our throats in every single piece of media we find. Nobody wanted gay men and to meet diversity quotas in games other than mentally ill idiots who need to seek therapy instead of going to a clinic.

Losers still coping that BG3 sold all the copies despite being one of the gayest games in existence.

Sure thing honey, people hated the idea of same sex romance options so much that KCD2 is currently selling faster than the first game.
