| Darwinianevolution said: Is it weird that since the PS4, most of their big 1st party narrative-heavy exclusives launch with universal acclaim, then they make a sequel and they are ALWAYS overshadowed by controversy? The big example is The Last of US/TLoU2, but it has happened to Spiderman, God of War, Horizon, and now to Ghosts of Tsushima. Haven't played any of these myself, so I've only read about those enough to avoid spoilers, but the pattern is clear. |
The only pattern is what is happening in the world now, was Horizon Zero Dawn getting released the same day as Forbidden West did, being the first game, a lot of drama would be made about a woman being the lead of such a big game.
There are no controversies around any of those games except TLoU2, and that was a design choice.
The pattern is the increasing number of people calling "woke", as if it was a bad term, to whatever they fell like is not pushing their agenda.
Politics got completely out of hand, people are delusional and getting worse by the day, just look how many people think the earth is flat, the point is to question and reject anything thal doesn't fit your agenda.
Assassin's Creed Shadows is not a Sony game and look at what is happening to it. Concord is not a sequel and look at what happened to it. Many games from vastly different developers and publishers are facing this stupidity nowdays.
Being a Sony developed sequel has nothing to do with being a pattern to generate controversy.
