Video Game General 7.0: Day Juan Ys: MoC June 9th & Wonderful 101 June 30th!

Not really. Iā€™m a pretty logical person generally speaking so I have actual logical reasons for things most of the time.

Except there is really no logical reason why I am a Redskins fan at this point.

Disliking something because someone has a different political view than you is just dumb. Like it literally has absolutely no bearing on your enjoyment of the game. None. Nada. It would be the same thing if someone dislikes X because the creator is gay or something.

TLOU2 thread is a spoiler thread. Besides, this being a general there no reason why it canā€™t be talked about here.

Again, you are diminishing the problem to strwaman reasons.
Like i pointed out, is more than just hurr durr, they have a different political view, hurr durr a character is gay.

For someone who is supposedly logical you are being kind of dense on analysing the pov of others.

I wouldnt deny that there can be people that possible dislike the game for those dumb reasons, but is not the only thing that has surrounded the game.

ND has been given plenty of reasons to sour the perception of some people of the game, and the story wouldnt do any favors for many others.

Just to give you an example, my friend that has a vg store has been dealing with people trying to return or trade in the game the whole day, simply because people dislike the product they got.

Not anymore. Pertho shot down that idea with the quickness. :man_shrugging:

Just in caseā€¦

Because I dont want shit to accidentally spill here and suddenly get a bunch of tantrums about the lack of moderation.

The title of the other thread directly states that there will be spoilers inbound, and this being a general purpose thread, the talk falls into the umbrella of this thread. plus we are not talking specifically about the game, but the controversy that has surrunded it.

Reallyā€¦wow. I didnā€™t realize that. Everything I saw only mentioned The Uncharted franchise.

Letā€™s be honest though, if weā€™re talking about the controversy, or pretty much whatever about the game and thereā€™s a thread for it, we should move it there.

I get that this is a general VG thread, but Perth isnā€™t asking for anything unreasonable.

All I am saying is that disliking a game for things that have nothing to do with the game is dumb in my eyes. To each their own.

You can dislike a company for various reasons and not purchase a game because of your view of the company and not support them, but that doesnā€™t mean a game is bad or anything.

Those people trying to return an open game must be new to gaming.

YES

Please

At least they were rationale about it. I mean I laughed at it, but the streamer stopping the game, pulling out both game discs, and cutting them in half is stupid. You already gave them your money.

The thing is that i know the people playing the game would prefer to not have to deal with the shitstirm and be left alone, so it woud be better to leave that here, and let them have their ā€œsafespaceā€ to enjoy the game while we meme the shit of it here.

:rofl:

They are feeding into the expectations of their audience.
It was expected to happen by someone at some point.

The Twitch streamer probability made 10 times that money back in that one stream.

Not just with games but I see this stupid mindset in sports. Itā€™s like, if you really want to hurt them, sell your copy to someone else so they donā€™t buy a new one.

I agree, they are pandering to their audience.
They see from the chat feed what their audience wants and do what they can to keep that audience and make that audience grow. And if that means snapping a disc mid game or even smashing a console mid game (while itā€™s operational).

They will do it if it nets them notoriety, which gets then attention, thus more money.
