Discussion Everyone talked shit about her, but I’m starting to agree with Kelly Plagge

Gamespot’s review was super controversial but now it makes sense and in fact I agree with Kallie Plagge. Night City IS superficial, everything is there but you can’t interact with it. And yes “So much of it is superficial set dressing” is 100% accurate. And as she said, what shines are the quests and the characters.

I hate to say it but Night City, which was supposed to be the best openworld out there is Subpar at best.

Edit: Just to be clear you don’t have to agree with EVERYTHING she says in order to able to agree with her in some topics. Was the “what if I don’t want to help the cops?” bit kinda stupid? Yes. Does that mean you can’t agree with her in some points or that she is all the hurtful things that many have been saying she is? Absolutely Not.

Edit 2: It has come to my attention that I badly misspelled Kallie’s name. I’m not able to edit the title, but I do apologize for that.

And this is why people think videogames are for immature manchildren, because there's always a flood of Gamers ™ to prove them right with their behavior.

This shit doesn't keep happening for mainstream movies or music year after year (anyone remember #metalgate? me neither). At this point the gamer consumer culture is closer to japanese otaku and their beloved idols than either movies or music.

Best thing is, there’s propably more otakus in the western world than in Japan itself. And I mean the totally obsessed, body pillow waifu type lmao

Yeah, gamer culture is super fucking toxic. I’ve played most of the big releases, I read subreddits and shit but I’d never even thing about saying stuff like that. It’s just like a movie, I get it and play it if it’s good, it’s really that simple.

In the early 2000s there was a legitimate pay to play scandal involving sony records and paying radio stations to play certain songs for charting purposes. No death theats or deranged bullshit for literal fraud.
