This article is such a reach. As far as I can tell the game isn’t actually set in Hong Kong, it was just inspired by the architecture of a location in Hong Kong. There aren’t even humans in the game. It is established that the robots are a distorted facsimile of humans, hence they eat food, wear clothing and have

Thank you for putting into words, what I was thinking.

I’m not sure if it’s the tone you’re going for but you sound incredibly smug and privileged in this comment. Good for you, your computer is better than most people’s computers. Most people can’t afford a Threadripper 1900x and a GTX 2080 and were operating under the assumption that, if is sold for a PS4 or device that

Firstly CDPR knowingly cranked up the hype machine, sometimes in problematic ways, and courted that toxic fanbase for an under-performing product that even when it does perform, most people rate as just fine. There were a ton of toxic fans but CDPR brought this on themselves.

Secondly by asking for a refund they can

I didn’t buy the game because the specific graphics card in my workstation only meets their “recommended” requirements.

It seems a bit ridiculous that it is so poorly optimised that consumers with their existing $1000-2000 PCs have to be satisfied with playing the game on low settings and resolution. It is also

The way you pressure CDPR is to refund it. That’s how capitalism works. It’s years of consumers being grateful for whatever the multi-billion dollar companies throw under the table, that has lead to this culture of studios thinking it is okay to crank up the hype machine before releasing under-performing games or

You magnificent bastard...

You got me. I was going to continue replying to you with reasoned statements but then I looked up your comment history and realised that no mind is a match for your pithy one liners and clever use of GIFs. I have to come clean and admit that the article affected me profoundly. So deep was my sadness while I read this

Nice try troll. Actually my problem isn’t that someone doesn’t like something I like. Plenty of my friends don’t like the genre and, like an adult, they just ignore it and pursue things that they do. It’s that someone who is paid to write about important issues is using their voice to rant about people who like

Who’s getting worked up? I’ve spent about a total of 3 or 4 minutes while on the toilet, reading the article and replying to one or two comments. Not quite the same an evening writing an angry “shitpost rant” because other people like something that I don’t.

Not enough feathers.

Maybe it is sad that everyone got reeled in by this clickbait garbage and wasted their time over it...but not quite in the same way...

Well aren’t you just adorable?

Thanks for writing this so I don’t have to. Christ, Hamilton Nolan is one sad, sad, little man.

Actually there is plenty of films and content out there that isn’t superhero related. Hamilton Nolan is just being a sad, little man.

What’s got your panties in a twist?

I get the concept of power dynamics in racism and sexism but I don’t think playing the oppression olympics is helpful here. That’s like saying a latinx trans person (possibly) jokingly calling a black person the N-word isn’t racist because they’re lower down on the privilege ladder.

That is some pulitzer prize winning shade right there...

How is it only possibly bigoted and not racist?

How is this not racist?
