Great video. I don't know why people have to get so upset because people have different opinions. Especially when it's something that isn't particularly important like an opinion about a video game. I disagree with people all the time without getting upset or insulting people.
I'm playing the game now, and I'm about half way through. It really doesn't have a single female character who is treated seriously, respectfully, or given any true depth so far. I especially could understand why a female gamer, transgender or not, or even male gamers, would take issue with it. It is a completely valid criticism. It doesn't particularly bother me, and the game is still amazing, but the people who are upset because of that criticism and the score being 9, which is still really high, should calm down and especially stop insulting people. It's just one person's opinion of a game.
@BH14 @maynardgilmour @Cristero Reviewers matter only in that they provide a recommendation to people before they buy a game. People can get a recommendations elsewhere, from friends, forums, or the user review average. You can find an average score of all published reviewers and Gamespot's outlier score, which is just 1.5 points off average, isn't going to change it but only slightly.
Moreover, they're not recommending against the game. It isn't even a negative review. 8.0/10.0 means it's definitely worth consideration. They just didn't enjoy it as much, but even if someone got a bad recommendation to not buy this video game, nobody should care. It doesn't matter even slightly. Way worse things have happened to far better people. Reviews do not matter.
