I honestly don't care, it's a game set in a fictional worldUnfortunate that you think like that.

That reviewer is pretty harsh. She also bogged it down a few because of the trans stuff. Think she only gave TLOU2 a 7 or 8 too.
Same, it's good news the story isn't super long for me. These types of games I think are best played at a slow pace.Glad the main story isn’t too bloated, I’m ready to play it at my own pace and explore.
Why?Yeah was just reading it through there. It's the second lowest review out of 43 on metacritic and their main gripe is trans representation, probably best ignored.
Yep. It sounds like the aspects CDPR are amazing at are still amazing in this game.There is a 43gb day one patch in fairness. 90 seems really good to me for a game that is riddled with bugs. From the way they talk about the world, sidequests, choices etc. it sounds like exactly what I wanted it to be.
TW3 got something like 92 and wasn't really lauded as "best ever" material on its initial release, only after a few months when the dust settled and it was patched to the high heavens.
This is a bit of a crazy idea but people should read the gamespot review before commenting on it.
To do with the trans issues.This game seems to have been completely removed from ResetEra? not sure what’s happened but the main thread is gone and they don’t have a review thread up, it must have kicked off somewhere.
Because its massively overblown and hardly a talking point in this game?Why?
In your opinion, others will feel differently. Hence the review.Because its massively overblown and hardly a talking point in this game?
Mmm she's one of those people.That reviewer is pretty harsh. She also bogged it down a few because of the trans stuff. Think she only gave TLOU2 a 7 or 8 too.
GameSpot reviewer was the same IGN reviewer who infamously scored down Subnautica for having "too much water" - a game where you spend the entire time under the ocean.
It's fiction, in a skeezy universe!In your opinion, others will feel differently. Hence the review.
Ahh, I'm mistaken, it was actually a criticism she had for a pokemon game set in an Island.you joking
Mmm she's one of those people.
To be fair you are literally focussing on one minor element of the game and don't seem keen to discuss anything else. Why don't you do us all a favour and tell us straight what you have an issue with so that we can see what your point and try and understand your viewpoint? I'm open to the idea this could be a challenging theme but from what I've seen and read the transgender issue just doesn't seem that big of a deal here.I can see this is the wrong place to bring up any criticism you don’t agree with. Have fun!
Complaining about a non issue with the gender stuff.One of what people?
Why?
There isn’t a trans person in the game, that’s the point.Because it’s a pointless thing to bring up. What’s wrong with there being a trans person in the game? Is that what it’s about?

Complaining about a non issue with the gender stuff.
So what’s the issue people are having? Lack of that representation?
This gist is that there's a transgender advert plastered all through the game with the phrase "mix it up", yet you can't create a transgender character and there's only one known minor-roled trans npc. As usual the sensible people merely point out it's inconsistent and a bit odd, but there's been a number of the usual outraged whining all over twitter and Restera about it as if CDPR are the worst people in history.
And as with TLOU 2 we are now seeing people push back and having pops at reviewers who dare to give it any less than a 10 and mention in any way the advert/transgender issue.
It's all very tiresome.
Thanks for explaining. The bolded bit is what I take issue with, creating problems where there is none...This gist is that there's a transgender advert plastered all through the game with the phrase "mix it up", yet you can't create a transgender character and there's only one known minor-roled trans npc.

Kallie Plagge reviewed the game on Gamespot, so it basically means it is a terrible review that is to be ignored. Her Days Gone review is one of the worst reviews I have ever read.
What is console code?Bit shitty that reviewers aren't allowed to use their own footage for video reviews and have to use CDPR's own marketing material.
Also really worrying that no reviewers received console code.
But, hey, TW3 was a big mess when it launched and look how that ended up.
A console review copy essentially. They were only provided the PC version to review.What is console code?
Not surprising. All console versions are essentially the Xbone/PS4 version, and they've had to scale back so much to even make it work on those platforms that I'm guessing they don't believe it gives a fair representation of what the game is intended to be like.A console review copy essentially. They were only provided the PC version to review.

Re the reviews trying to avoid them as they can be detailed and give stuff away.
The cultural issues mentioned in the Gamespot review were things like being able to go to Japantown and buy something that looks like a yukata but is named slightly differently. Or Mexican day of the dead references being a bit off in their translations. If that's the gravest of cultural reference faux pas, and they are the ones she specifically mentions, then it's not even mountain out of molehill territory.
I do understand the complaint that the main story and the side missions/exploring are mismatched in terms of tone and tempo. But that happens in so many RPGs. Games like this just aren't suited to rapid playthroughs by reviewers.
She doesn't even mention the issues with pronouns, it's the Polygon review that dedicates a few chapters to that, as you'd expect.
