Good to see there's no room for nuance any longer. You either like this game or you are a racist.
This perpetual boogeyman must be stopped!

Man, having a trans-child really fucked him up badly. I feel sorry for him.

He isn't worth your pity. I like Jaffe, but his recent tweets regarding this and Hogwarts are just outright clownery. Man has some skeletons in his closet for sure.
Clowns : this game has bombed because the protag is a black woman! everyone is racist
Jokers: lol this game sucks because the protag is woke
Stuck in the middle: How does the game play?
Clowns and Jokers: REEEEEEE
The state of modern gaming

From the reviews i've read (from reviewers who played the game). That's a small part of the opening and the rest of the game is quite natural.
again though, the state of modern reviews. An action game shouldn't be judged on a line of dialogue. How does it run, how does it play? is the world fun, is the game interesting?
bah, i'm an old man yelling at clouds.

His kid is trans because he's a weak man and a shit parent.
Right, because if it has a black and/or female protagonist, there's never even the possibility of people just genuinely not liking the game. It's always because of racism or sexism. Because as we all know, if a game has a black and/or female protagonist, it's automatically good. Same shit we've seen playing out for movies and TV shows for the last decade.
You're not wrong, but at the same time, the game has an emphasis on story and character development, with frequent and lengthy cutscenes.

Hahahahahaha.
Yes.
Spend money and many hours of your time playing a shit game to "spite" other people.
That'll show 'em.
What a fucking donkey.

Yep, that's a good

Danny Lore is a Black sci-fi/fantasy writer of prose and comics. They hail from Harlem and the Bronx.
I read this as two people and then realized it's one who is a "they" and is from two places at once.
This shit is fucking absurd.

One of the most reaching, overly sympathetic round-ups I've ever read, with the author (already known for pushing identity in front of more important things) relentlessly bringing the annoying, moany character's IDENTITY AS A CAPITAL-B-BLACK PERSON making up 90% of the round-up.
All these clowns projecting.
None of them seeing.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man truly is king.
There are plenty of big games coming out in 2023 what are you talking about? If anything you should worry about Starfield itself not being an AAA shit show based on what was shown so far.

Imagine having to pretend that a shit game is actually good because of the race and gender of the main character.Forspoken | Critical Consensus

I guess at least they will be able to blame poor sales on racism and sexism.

"Ramée said in his assessment of the game that Frey's identity isn't really acknowledged.
"Forspoken doesn't do anything to celebrate Frey as someone who is Black or a woman or anything else about her."
How dare a game doesn't do enough to celebrate the protagonists Blackness!

I would just like to point out the irony that this game might be propped up for its diverse representation, considering it has you playing as a young, foul-mouthed, homeless black woman in trouble with the law and abandoned at birth. Not saying that the protagonist can't have some tragedy linked to their being but when you start stacking one on top of another it starts to feel like the writers were trying too hard and I wouldn't be surprised if no one remembers or cares to replay the story in the years to come.
Well, I mean I literally asked the question, so obviously I don't know any of these big awesome AAA games coming out in 2023. Care to furnish me with some suggestions?
Years to come? This thing is forgotten bargain bucket territory in weeks
Will do as well.
Steam reviews are already weird. 0.5h played, review saying "I love this game!"

OK. After 10 minutes of playing (that's all I can take) I can confirm that the game looks cleaner on my PC than on PS5. The game runs pretty smooth from I can see on "high" settings.
However, turning on Ray racing results in a rough frame rate (estimated 40s outside combat) this is with DLSS turned to balanced and vsync off. 1440p.
That's all I can take. I have never played a game with a more bitter, foul mouthed brat. It's already deleted.

It's still peak PS5, in my opinion. Over two years later and it's starting to feel like we won't ever see anything better.

And yes, as the title suggests, the game does have shader compilation stutters.
You mean to tell me that an all-white progressive writing team created a black female protag and they made her a homeless criminal?

They originally wanted the character to be a scientist, but the voice actor they hired couldn't pronounce any of the words.
So they changed the script to just say, "Shit, shit, fuck, shit, fuck, fuck. Oh, hey! My trusty kicks!"
