Using "butthurt" in a news article. lmao. Shouldn't be surprised.

Still, silly reaction to the port but come on. This is trash news.

@nathanSF Most of the customization options for the "allies" are based around middle-eastern ethnicity, with most of the names for the different premade faces being Arabic. So it's very much a setting of arab forces (Allied trained and with Allied equipment) fighting against terrorists in their own country. But nice woke take I suppose...

@Jaz007 You can resupply if you have a teammate with an ammo bag nearby. Teamwork is much more important in this game than say CoD or Battlefield.

Dude what the heck is this? No flame but the game launched with two maps... Did you play one match of each game mode and call it a day?

"No two matches of Hunt Showdown ever feel the same"
I think they keyword here is "two matches". Then you started writing the review I presume?

Just move the manufacturing to the hospitals. I know you can do it, commies. <3

Would be nice if they added a slightly larger batch of indie games as well. These "old" big titles have either already been played by fans or are not interesting enough for those who are not fans.

PS Now has a lot of catching up to do that subscription fee reductions won't help with.

Those Japanese guys sure like to throw out judgement every now and then.

This game has an intense atmosphere and loads of visual and audio cues to help you figure out where other players are. Few games manage to create such a deep immersion while still staying highly competitive. Hopefully it will run well on the PS4.

My phobia of sharks will turn this from a mere survival game into a horror survival game. Looks cool though.

@JoeBlogs Yeah, truly a lot of varied opinions being expressed here. "You didn't have to post it and start all this". This is a scary mentally that I see more and more. Should I keep quiet because my opinion differs from the majority? That's a slippery road my dude, and leads to bubbles like these forming and increasing in size. Regardless, I called it for what it is - blackwashing. I'll leave it up to the individual if they find that term loaded, to me it's just a fact in this case. I appreciate your response above the last one though. Much better. I think we disagree on the importance of historical accuracy, or in the case of the Witcher, source material accuracy. If that doesn't bother you, great. My first post included me saying the news of these stellar ratings were good news to people who enjoyed the show. Hope you enjoy the second season.

@tameshiyaku Nah, Hollywood would never allow that. I'm reacting like there is blackwashing going on in the Witcher, which there is. I'm also perfectly chill, if anything I'm quite tired as I have to respond to 4+ people all deciding to circlejerk around me. There is plenty of representation these days so no worries on that front. As more and more POC starts writing and creating shows, the representation will increase, and hopefully you won't have to mess with other works to make up for a perceived deficit. That's all.

@quinnyboy58 Well this was just a matter of time wasn't it? I'd strongly urge you to start thinking for yourself instead of repeating stuff like a parrot to anyone with a different view. First lesson, look up the definition of "racism" and realize that the requirement to be a racist is far beyond what I have even remotely expressed here. Stop throwing the term around and diminish its meaning.

@NorrinRadd Don't see the relevance with that first bit, but feel free to elaborate.

Offended is a strong word. I just don't want to support it. You're very brave for taking a stance in this discussion though. I could really feel your passion. If you don't think having a consistent world with characters that fit into the narrative is important in storytelling then you are the one who lacks the understanding. I never said it had to precisely mirror the source material. That would be very hard. You can still try to stay true to it. The Witcher indeed tells a story and does so very well with the help of non-humans and witches. What purpose does PoC fill to enhance the story?

@nessisonett Yes, Slavic countries has PoC living in them -now-. That's true for all western countries. Ah, I forgot, it's the CURRENT YEAR (or last year to be precise). Silly me, I retract all my comments. I appreciate the life tip at the end there, although it is a bit lacking on the constructive side.

@deadfred77 What's the relevance of your point exactly? Humans aren't supernatural creatures of mythology and fantasy last time I checked. Think really hard about what your point is and please elaborate if you figure it out.

I'm kinda new to this site so I didn't really expect the mob mentality to be this strong here, but I have now learned my lesson, ResetEra.

@JoeBlogs Missed opportunity to say "Let's dance!". I hear what you're saying about the means of travelling, but there isn't much to go on in terms of human ethnic diversity when looking at the books. The prejudice of the relevant societies are based around witches, the supernatural and the unholy, much like...you guessed it, medieval Europe. You also have the non-human races which essentially replaces the people of colour, but that wasn't enough apparently. You say our 21th century views on ethnicity aren't relevant to the world of the Witcher, yet the casting of these actresses as Triss and Yen is very much political, and if you don't think so then I don't know what to tell you.

While your argument is logical, it has little to no foundation to stand on when it comes to the Witcher setting. And if you insist, as a woke production company, to include PoC characters, why not make new ones? Evidently you don't seem to care about the source material all that much, so why not please both fans and casuals by adding black characters instead of changing pre-existing ones?

I also don't understand why quality actors and staying true to the source material has to be mutually exclusive? Surely you're not denying there are talented white women who could pull off Triss and Yen? You can have both.

Appreciate a proper reply though. If only you had started with that.

@NorrinRadd Others have answered your question now, and they are correct. Since the Witcher is based on Slavic folklore and has a European-inspired setting, it's quite strange to have people of colour running taking prominent roles. Sadly this isn't uncommon these days. I am of course against whitewashing as well but I imagine the SJW's of this site are already seeing red by now.

@JoeBlogs You must be fun to have discussions with.

This soulless high-fantasy launch title looks so bland. Hopefully Sony has something more interesting in store in terms of launch titles or I'll be playing PS4 games on my PS5 on day one.

North America could almost be changed to California when you look at all those studio locations.

The variety of games being made with the tools this title provides is just mind blowing. You're gonna get your money's worth, that's for sure.

I have never had any interest in the Uncharted games, and that didn't change with getting them for free. Seems very bland and boring, from the characters to the story and gameplay. I'll stick with The Last of Us when it comes to Naughty Dog games.

Nice to see energy drinks from Sunset Overdrive among their other props. They should be proud of that game, it was great. Hopefully we'll see it on Playstation one day, although it seems unlikely.

7.4 seems a bit low. Clearly too many hateful and misinformed reviews remain. Only when the game is at a perfect 10 will we know for sure that all the basement dwelling haters have been removed.

Let's keep pushing for a unified and singular review score my comrades. No dissidents allowed!

Interesting. "... but a PS4 patch is on the way". To which other system could a patch for Death Stranding possibly be delivered to?

Pretty much only digital for me. Physical prices and sales are usually s*** compared to the digital store, but it seems to be different depending on country.

_{Language please! - Quintumply}

I know a Cylon device when I see one!

Wait, it's not being made by Rocksteady? Well there goes my hype. Origins might not be a bad game but it was nowhere close to the masterpieces Rocksteady made.

Gris means pig in Swedish. Kinda confusing when you look at the beautiful visuals and soothing background music.

Will definitely pig this up though.

"Honestly, the music is rubbish". How does one even come to have this opinion? The music fits perfectly (if it's the same as the PC version), and it's what makes the waiting times bearable. What would you rather have? Techno? Lol.

Don't agree with review bombing at all, but 6.1 seems like a pretty accurate score from what I've seen of the game.

This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. Besides the official patch notes for firmware update 6.72 of course.
