Are we allowed to discuss potential corruption in the vidya biz?
After seeing the image, I went out of my way to test this myself, and it's real.

If there's any company rotten to the core it's Sony. Its rather sad to see individuals actually defending it.
Landon Long
When it wins game of the year internet nerds will lose their shit.

Sony just keep winning, incels BTFO

Not really, read the article.
>This implies that gamers are mad because there are girls in The Last Of Us 2. Which is so laughably absurd I’m not sure it even deserves a retort. There are many popular, well-received games with girls in them from Tomb Raider to GRIS to A Plague Tale: Innocence to Horizon Zero Dawn to Naughty Dog’s own Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (which did fine on Metacritic despite female leads in a male-led franchise) that are all well-received by critics and gamers alike. Or more recently, Half-Life: Alyx, a critical darling and huge hit with gamers, despite Alyx being a woman.
>If this theory is true, that The Last Of Us 2 is getting panned by gamers because of “girls” then why are all those games okay?
>It makes no sense. It’s a stupid, lazy argument.
>Okay, but Ellie is gay. That must be why gamers hate it!
>If that’s the case, then why did The Last Of Us: Left Behind score so well with both critics and gamers? It has an 88/100 critic score and 8.2/10 user review score on Metacritic

Nope, metacritic is simply shit. You get errors all the time.
Ryder Rivera
Don't defend a shit game, fellow sonybro
Anthony Carter
Good image
Bentley Gonzalez
this is made up. you get the same error if you rate it a 10. it’s because of traffic caused by review bombing retards.
Gavin Ortiz
So why do people not just spam "10/10 It sucks" now to kill Metacritic for good?
Thomas Walker
Metacritic is corrupt, more news at 11
Jose King
There is no "gate", everyone already knows game journalists are irredeemably corrupt and make their trade on intentionally lying to their readers.
Lincoln Wilson
Zachary Hill
it looks that way, but positive reviews actually go through despite the error immediately while negative ones will not
Jack Garcia
Corruption? Why aren't you talking about incels review bombing en masse with 0 scores? Is that not corruption? It's suddenly corruption when metacritic finally does something to stop your sorry ass?
Aiden Jackson
>tfw found some new websites by checking who out the mixed reviews
Nice.
Oliver Lewis
>You're allowed to give the game a perfect score, but not allowed to say bad things about it
You're retarded.
Christopher Adams
You don't see anybody spamming perfect scores, so obviously this strawman scenario only exists in your head. Try again, incel.
Luis Hughes
>WHY CAN'T I KEEP REVIEW BOMBING THE GAME I HAVE NEVER PLAYED BROS WHYYY
Juan James
>implying (((journalists))) actually play the games they "review"

This game is great, an amazing sequel to tlou and just all out great. Man **** the negativity the only reason why people rate this game bad is 1) they are just hopping on the ban waggin of negativity. 2) not finished the game. 3) bots. 4) the leaks. PS the leaks mean nothing. 5) expecting the game to have the same storyline, same linear, same everything. Hey hate to break it to ya, no game can be exactly the same. Wanna bet that if we got the same linear story people wouldn’t like it. Tlou 2 is open, not just in exploration, but in themes, gay, trans and many other things violence, revenge those things. I’ve finished the game and let me tell you all you haters this game is art. Meaning 50% chance of people liking it and the other 50% not liking it. But all this hate is pure stupidness, fake haters only looking for clout or ban waggin. It’s so dumb HATERS GO PLAY THE GAME YOURSELVES AND DON’T COME BACK UNTIL YOU GOT YOUR REAL!! OPINION

>I haven’t played this game but I found people who didn’t like and they validated my opinion for me

Or MAYBE people are tired of you guys being racist and misogynistic
Samuel Sullivan
Maybe you can read the fucking article provided
Christian Powell
>Thousands of people who have never played the game review bomb the game the minute it came out and give it a 0
>"This is good"
>Metacritic finally attempts to stem the tide of obviously fraudulent reviews
>"NOOOOOOOO WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUUUUCK HOW COULD YOU RUIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE FUCKING METACRITIC USER REVIEW SCORE?!!! THIS IS UND OUTRAGE!!!"
Jordan James
How about the thousands of people who have never played the game review bombing the game the minute it came out and giving it a 10?
Brandon Gomez
Seething.
Nathan Lee
> implying there was an implication to (((imply)))
Brody Howard
Maybe they had to delete so many reviews that had 'SJW FAGGOTS' that they just decided to stop those reviews coming in.
And coincidentally only negative reviews were that retarded
Jace Murphy
Wow it's almost like user reviews where you don't confirm that you've actually played the game are fucking retarded and don't matter. You've cracked the code!
