Polygon (lol) Topical 5 6.5/10

And no I'm not going to link it, **** you.

You're a gentleman and a scholar

**** Polygon.

I'm still getting it.

I have never played a game from the series and dont plan on it.

Who the **** wrote that,Patricia Hernandez?

Since when was it ever designed to be mature? F*ck me journalists are getting pathetic.

A beautiful snowflake.

Topical.

They quite good. They don't have the depth that many other city builders have but its a nice game to kill some time with. Nice and relaxing.

Just how many city builder games that allow you to put a hit on your citizens? For that alone it's deserves a higher score. :)

I was thinking the same thing. WTF is Topical?

iirc this game was out for few months, is this news?

Well...shall I remember that they gave a 8 to TLOU becuase the main character was kinda morally grey.

They didn't approve of a male dictator.

This is polygon though, they are the crème de la crème of SJW douchbaggery

that is the spirit!

And beside, a 6 shouldn't be representation of an awful game anyway. I remember Megaman X4 getting wrecked on reviews and to me that's the best game in the series. People that enjoy a series or genre shouldn't be persuaded by shitty scores, especially one coming from a social justice website like polygon full of pretentious hipsters.

Although I must admit that FFXIII took me by surprise. The game had the scores, I loved the series and genre too but that game was... Don't even want to talk about. It was shit.

That is, in a nutshell, why so many reviews are hard to take seriously.

And this is what happens when we let them patronise us to this degree. Does anyone think this is good writing? That anyone cares about your hurt feelings?

Try out tropico 3 or 4; those can be found very cheap at times.

being a dictator made him feel like a bully.. that journalism

A game about being a dictator made the reviewer feel too much like a bully, and he didn't like the tension he felt between his dictator character and his population?

Of course, I'm only reading the excerpt from the OP, but...... alrighty then.

lolygon

*massages temples*

A fucking DICTATOR SIMULATOR made him feel like a bully? Jesus Christ. They should review Viva Pinata and give it a 2/10 because they eat each other and the incest is so upsetting :'(

Topical? Is the game about steroid creams or something?

They can´t play games.

After Gamersgate, I stopped reading shit from Polygon, Kotaku, etc. I already disliked Polygon before Gamersgate, but Gamersgate gave me the push I needed to just never go back. Reviews like this are clearly a joke and I won't support them with any clicks.

BTW: I heard about this review awhile back. I cringed then.

Shouldn't a review take into account the vision of the developer rather than some preconceived notion of what the reviewer thinks it should be? Next up, Goat Simulator didn't have enough character development for me to truly care about the characters.

I'm a tad out of the loop. Why do we hate polygon again?

Shit like this is why gamergate is a thing

You don't need a reason.

Wow, couldn't help but laugh at that summary. .. And what the hell does SJW mean?

Social Justice Warrior. Basiclly, you sit on Tumblr all day and whine and complain about your viewpoint to a bunch of yes men.

Amazing review from such a high quality website. I must go to the site and give them lots of hits.

From what i heard the reviewer doesnt actually do the rating, the staff read the reviews and puts ratings to keep consistency.

They are not journalists, they dont have a clue what journalism is. They are bloggers and casuals who started playing games in 2005. Thats the problem with the industry.

@clyde46: oh, pussies

A bit of a poor review, reviewers should always at least try to view something from the perspective of the target audience. It would be like reviewing a first person shooter then complaining because you shoot people, idiotic.
