Lol, right on time to exemplify what I mentioned on the Kotic piece by the same outlet.
The disconnect is real between the games “journalists” and the YouTubers who actually played the game:
What the fuck is up with all of these glowing opinions, just from the large games “journalists” sites? Are they getting paid by Obsidian?
This is looking like another Outer Worlds or Starfield situation. Hype the shit about it, make sure the major sites give it high scores, and then months later, when people actually play it, the scorn and mid-ness of the game is too hard to ignore.
Luke Stephens is not a good source
Then look at the other sources.
I loved The Outer Worlds. If you’re going to pay people for positive press, why would you only get a 7/10 out of IGN?
