Im not surprise majority of professional reviewers giving it very high rating and its just another mediocre open world game like ubisoft ones.

Dude what even? You don't care, you only play 1st person shooters of the manliest of manly variety. Just let people enjoy things.

Though I have absolutely no interest in either game, I will say that because of this, I'd be far more likely to get Nier: Automata than I would Horizon: Zero Dawn. Mainly because the story of H: ZD is preachy as all hell.

That's fine. Whatever you want. But I don't feel the comparison is fair since the games are two completely different style of game. It's like comparing a JRPG to Call of Duty. They appeal to two different types of people, with obvious cross over.

What do you care, you've made it a point you refuse to play any game starring a female protagonist anyway.

I'd guess he either is the WAB guy he keeps making threads to basically advertise videos of, or its a buddy of his. Like his last dozen or so threads have been the same videos with a couple of sentences tacked on.

Lol. Internet Egalitarianism is a joke; it's really no different than an internet Libertarian. It's just an attempt to cover one's ass when they hold awful opinions.

As someone else said though, you do you. Feel free to skip an amazing game because people who spend their lives looking for "SJW" things to get angry about became upset about a game with a female protagonist...

I've been looking at this one. Looks promising and I'm sure I'd enjoy it. But I don't pay full price for games as a principle. I'll get it in a few weeks or months or whatever.

I'm going to regret this...

*watches the video*

Well, that wasn't that painful (and my ears already stopped ringing). Besides the nitpicks, it resumes to "this game doesn't cater to my preferences; therefore it's lame" and recommends it for console peasants (he didn't use that term, but the idea is pretty similar). Fair enough. I give this review a 6/10.

EDIT: And what I mean for preferences, it's gameplay. He didn't said anything about the main protagonist.

From my part, the lack of microtransactions means I don't mind paying full price. I'm just waiting for the patches to roll out.

He is best reviewer currently and say things professional reviewers will lose the job if they point out those flaws. I dont always agree with him for example his Doom review was terrible and complain about why its like old doom.

In what way precisely?

I watched a fair amount of his "reviews", and it comes across as some of the most shallow and one sided review material on YT( at least in comparison to more well known channels).
No clear structure or thorough analysis on sound design/music ( compare it with ACG), gameplay mechanics( outside of ringing the bell gimmick and yelling how it does not/suck...compare it with Mathewmathosis), narrative background/plot/characterization ( compare it to Superbunnyhop), main themes/discussion on genres/trends( compare it to Noah Gervais/Extra credits), or even basic "know how" when it comes to technical performance.
From what I've seen, he mostly cherry picks slices of gameplay that support his own viewpoint, ignores everything else, repeats the same few things ad nauseam ( the dumbing down, evil AAA, etc), while, at best, covering about 5% of game.
Hell, even Angry Joe is more methodical and non biased when it comes to this.

He's an opinionated hack that wants every game to be the same game, which is the only game he enjoys.
He'll never be popular.
He'll never get what he wants.
And he'll never be good reviewer.

That's fair. And its not multiplayer only, so maybe I should get it full price? Money where mouth is, yadda yadda...

Huh? What?

Sorry, I'm having trouble hearing you or your idiot youtuber over the sound of how much fun I'm having hunting bellowbacks.

I can take one down with a combination of rope arrows and ice bombs but the bastards keep coming at me in groups of three.

Gosh, I sure am glad I bought Horizon Zero Dawn instead of Quantum Break.
