I can't believe they're making a Kingdom Hearts rhythm game and that it's going to be both canon and a follow-up on KH3's ending.

Did you expect anything less from the Kingdom Hearts team?

At this point the most surprising thing is that it has a fairly normal name for a Kingdom Hearts game. 'Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory'

There’s apparently new lore in this game so I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some Yozora stuff segueing into the next set of KH games.

With a new Skate game being made we truly live in the era where meme posting on social media gets things made.

Gamers constantly want video games to be taken seriously as an artform (they aren't) but at the same time they will review bomb a game while posting hate speech and ranting about agendas and kinks and it's like do they not understand that this is why the basement dweller mentality still exists.

Anyway, I've got no intention of playing TLOU2 since I didn't like the first one so seeing the assmad rage it brought out is hilarious to me because, like, it's not even worth getting so assblasted about.

I'd estimate that anti-SJW backlash is a minority of the hate against TLOU2, and certainly not the driving force behind the anti-fandom that spawned multiple memes, tens of thousands of review bombs, and a nearly minute-long animation made entirely from parody fanart. Most of it seems to be largely over dislike of the direction that Druckmann chose to take the story, and the belief that the game's central message falls flat. There's also the concern over Naughty Dog supposedly mistreating its employees, Sony making frivolous copyright claims to try and silence the leaks, and the perceived hypocrisy of Sony's censorship policies.

You must've not seen the actual Metacritic reviews. There are dozens of people complaining about ND's "wokeness" regarding same sex relationships and transgenderism on there. Personally, my ball's not in the anti-soy/SJW court, but I don't think Naughty Dog handled LBGT representation well in TLOU2. Actually was one of the reasons I voiced my dislike for the game that later had me blocked on Twitter by a 10/10 fanboy despite me falling into the LGBT crowd. Guess you're not allowed to have opinions (especially on topics concerning you) when everything is done "well", "extremely well", or exceptionally well" in the words of said blocker.

But yes, people are also angry on how TLOU2 played out. It has probably one of the worst stories I've had the pleasure of experiencing with quite the piss-poor writing compared to the first TLOU. The entire game is literally revenge fantasy porn with obvious attempts to guilt trip you and make you feel bad. The employee mistreatment, copyrights and so on is bullshit too.

Correct.

At this point in the information age you have to find premeasures as an aggregate against trolls or you do nothing.

If this was an issue that many gamers drew a line against, more games (hell, even some movies) would be review bombed or boycott. Probably ineffectively but that's the internet for you. I'm not saying crunch is good - far from it - but it's an issue that is easy for some to use as a shield. Even some of the people going around shit posting are doing so with the whole "LMAO CRUNCH FOR THIS AWKWARD SEX SCENE? WAS IT WORTH IT CUCKMANN!" and all that nonsense. Obviously, yes, people do care about it but it's not at all a leading factor in the review bombing and the, like, two months of discourse about the game with the leaks. And it certainly isn't much of a factor critically despite all the articles about Naughty Dog's practices. But Kuro said it better.

The problem when something gets review-bombed or otherwise brigaded is that it makes actual discourse about the thing considerably harder and that's unfortunate. For all I know, TLOU2 does have a bad story, but I don't think a bad story makes a game bad - unless it's a bad visual novel or something where story is the point - and TLOU has more going on than its story. Which is a shame that what it has going on is Naughty Dog's boring gameplay

Anyway, here's hoping Ghost of Tsushima slaps.
