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. |
No, there is controversy with every one of them that is a sequel, even GTA 7 got hit hard but to hit DarwinEvolutions point home about it being the second outings, look at how returnal got away scott free from controversy. There was the peach fuzz/ugly Aloy controversy as well as her lesbian romances and general attacks on her being a weak character. God of War Rognorok had a hullabaloo about compmanions calling out puzzles, playing as actress, especially that certain level and that Kratos has become so milktoast and the series is now family friendly action. Hell divers 2 is the rare sequel that had no one hating on it.
