Well... 4chan is using it as a list of games to avoid. Cant blame them, they've all been stinkers.

I want to add that I'm not against inclusivity. But I am against crappy games.

At least try and form your own opinions, maybe?

Of the 16 games on the list, 6 of them haven't even released yet, and the average Steam user rating of those remaining is 78%.

Only two are below "Mostly Positive", which are Gotham Knights and Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance, both being "Mixed".

To be more concrete, we have to see if nearly all of the released games on the list have been subject to "abnormal review activity", which steam automatically excludes from the percentage

God of War Ragnarok and Spiderman 2 are stinkers? This article is entirely whiny gamergate nonsense.

Those 2 games aren't on the list... They're not sold on steam. The context of the above message is surely based on the steam curator list. I'm not sure any of the 16 games on this list are worthwhile at all. The only one I've heard of was Suicide Squad kill the justice league... and I think we call all agree that game is definitely on the "stinker" list.

Edit: Oh and Gotham Knights, I think I saw that at some point too... That definitely didn't get anything near "good" reviews.

And to pre-empt it... I didn't actually know at all about AC:valhalla, seems it got okay reviews... But just never landed on my radar.

Fair enough, although these games will presumably end up on the list once they are launched on steam. I still stand behind my view that this article and the list itself are complete nonsense

provided sensitivity reading for Alan Wake 2 and Goodbye Volcano High, narrative and character consultation “with a focus on representation” for God of War: Ragnarok, story consultation for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and script-writing duties (including cutscenes and banter) for Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League.

Stinkers? All of these are pretty popular titles...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Well, not Suicide Squad, but they've got plenty of bangers on their resume.

Lmao, taking pointers from 4chan

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Not saying I agree with them

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Eh, I imagine /v/ probably has at least not completely insane opinions about video games.
