Returnal Review Thread (PS5)

Man, the GI reviewer is roasting some “70 bucks” fools in his livetream. I love it.

So why Era hate the game?

One of the developer is republican?

Misogymnastic? Lack of LGBTQ representation? Transphobia? Cis white male or something? SJW? Mm?

I don't think they hate the game. As stupid as this sounds, it seems a few people are mad that other people are laughing at some crazy political commentary in a review.

Can you be more specific on that part?

I still dont see anything political or at least close enough to be relevant with any political matters in this game

Brother, let me tell you, I am just about done with that place. Even if you respectfully disagree and try to keep peace its F OFF or you're cancelled. There's no wiggle room for any kind of disagreement and honestly, that place is lost to me.

It's one of the things that pushed me to coming here. I don't care which side or affiliation you hold, if we can't have productive debate and adult discussion in a respectful manner, what the hell are we doing.

Let's have fun and agree to disagree because we all have our beliefs and just want a place to wind down and not get pulled into stupid politics and people telling you how you should think/feel.
The hypocrisy is that they call themselves progressives lol

In all sincerity though, I'm dying for this game as I love Housemarque and Sony just keep pumping out these fantastic games. Why does Sony need Game Pass when their games and consoles sell like hot cakes?

what a disgusting forum where everything is politicized and where toxic, mentally unstable Twitter warriors with an agenda can crowd out actual discussion
Don't want to take it too far off-topic but I was banned because they had a thread about some progressive woman getting a bunch of death threats by right wingers (which I don't condone) and I mentioned how left wingers send death threats to the same person too. They didn't like that.
 
Seriously that is the main reason theyre closing any disscusion for this game ?

Because of the the words " Xeno"?

That place is getting more pathetic day by day

I think its more to do with the fact that the reviewer that went on a tangent about xenophobia is trans

And era does not like trans people getting clowned on

Tbh, the first impression i had about the ds5 vibration when i tried astrobot was similar to an hamster trying to escape from inside the controller, that dildo running low on batteries analogy tho :lollipop_squinting:

Taking the Jeff Grubb review into consideration, it's surprising Metacritic and Opencritic don't have some type of system in place to disqualify or significantly reduce the weight of outlier scores. I'm all for someone like Jeff having his opinion (presuming it's an honest one), but the idea that that one opinion will significantly drag down the entire metacritic score is non-sense.

The potential for someone like Jeff, who appears to have some biases, to bomb a meta score, or the potential for biased or bought out reviewers in general, is a real problem when so much is at stake for the developers.

Metacritic and Open Critic, and reviews in general, have so much influence these days. We literally just heard during the Jaff Days Gone Interviews how much value Sony places on them, and we know they can be tied to dev bonuses, potential sales, etc. Honest or not, scores like Jeff's are not reflective of the experience of most reviewers and should therefore be weighted less imo.

And yes I think this should go both ways. For example a solitary 10 when everyone else is scoring a game in the 6-7's should also be given less weight too.
Well, you can use median instead of average.


Returnal would get 90 if you took it's median score

Personally, I think I disagree I really hate that game journalist's score all the same. This is a good example 84 reviews all scored from 6 to 10 no diversity in a opinion at all. It sucks because there will always be people that love and hate every game and there not being served if reviews have consensus. User reviews are way more varied they use the full scale and as a result it's pretty hard for any game to get above 9.2 average.

Film critics are much better you get a good variety of score's for nearly every film
 
But you said it's accurate, she referenced a vibrator, how about an overfed mouse? Handle them recently?
I know what a vibrator feels like. Can't knock it till you try it right. It's quite funny because I have 3 snakes, so I have handled overfed rats of mouse size recently and quite often.
