i've never been into these games, so i didn't follow the pre release or anything or have any info on this game. i just randomly watched an IGN review of the new game, and to me it looked pretty cool. scrolled down and it's like 20k dislikes to 4k likes or some shit, all the comments are complaining. i noticed the cast of characters looks 'diverse', is this actually a bad game or are gamers just crying because not everyone is a white guy?

Some of it is the usual racist bullshit
Some is from the reported change of genre and negation of choices made in the previous games

I'd argue the vast majority is anti-wokeism. It's just that the slightly smarter types understand that their fascist views don't appeal to the general public, so they disguise them as genuine complaints about the game. You'll see the same thing in the complaints about the fire in space in The Acolyte, even though it's always been the norm in the Star Wars films.

Chuds not liking something for reactionary reasons does not mean the thing is not bad for other, legitimate reasons
