Why are all the black protagonists so powerful?
The game also sucks
>Right now, Mortal Kombat 11 has an abysmal 2.9 score on MetaCritic. Most users are giving Mortal Kombat 11 scores of 1 and 0
OH NO NO NO NO
looks like WB is colluding with metacritic to (((shut it down)))
>epic shills review bombing the game to teach WB a lesson about publishing their game on steam
lmao
nah I don't think so
Why does he talk like a teenage girl?
I can see the negative ratings. Reviews with potty-talk are hidden (can't be read) but the rating still counts.
if mk11 was an EGS exclusive you think this place wouldnt bitch about that as hard they bitched about BL3 and Metro exodus? cmon now fag
his grand-daughter runs his twitter. well-known fact
/pol/tards like to chimp out and get trigged by every little thing.
Really speaks about how fragile they are.
>review bombed
where's it at now? can't see it for ps4, xbone, or switch.
I heard the steam port was shit so that's bound to be bad regardless
About time SJWs started losing more and more often. First EA with a SP game with no micro-transactions, now this gets review bombed.
Still fucking retarded that you'd have to grind for hours upon hours to unlock shit, and in a randomized setting.
>only care about brutalities
>save up all your kombat koins (tm) to open a krypt Krave
>get a skin instead
>the vast majority of skins are not for sale
how are people supposed to know? The store sells 5 items changing every 6 hours or so. Trying to push people to buy them when they are available and they can only be bought we a scarce currency.
Your adblock/scriptblock is probably blocking it, or something.
People aren't happy about the grinding either though.
>how are people supposed to know
buy playing the game?

>Mortal Kombat 11 is the latest victim of review bombing on MetaCritic – a practice where a flood of users give a game the lowest score possible as a means to protest something about it.
Not liking certain features and rating the game based on that is the literal definition of a review.
Howdy Ed
tried whitelisting, no luck. oh well
Translate the title to "Its only okay when 'we' do it".
This is why reviews should be taken off the hands of people, they obviously dont know what they want in games and are clueless about it.
There's already a professional job for game reviews and that's gaming journalists who actually have the integrity to review games more than everyone else.
>th-they'll PATCH IT
look how it's fucking going with Anthem you cuck.
>buy playing the game?
The store has 5 items that changes every 6 hours or so. There's no way to know if all the skins are on sales or not without waiting months and writing down every skins that come up. You can't just buy the skin you want.
>buy playing the game?
>buy
your nose is showing NRS shill
Even if that's true, why is that an issue? If you buy the game and you don't like particular things about it why should your voice be silenced? What if someone else had the exact same issues with it, but since people are getting their opinion censored they never heard about it and waste their money aswell? I guess consumer satisfaction is not really important anymore and all that matters is to get the money out of people, even if they are not happy with their purchase.
>bohoo people are unhappy with microtransactions, poor company
>shield shitty microtransactions by camouflaging it with intentional controversies
THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT just let faggots buy your taunts for $6 instead of making them wait six hours at a time every day you kikes
Weak bait, I know you have it in you to do better than this.
holy fuck it's real
because the failure fucked his brain so hard he has gone mentally insane
Is the switch version even out yet?
Bless your little cotton socks for trying user. Keep your chin up sport.
April 23
i gave it a bad review because it ran like shit on PC and the microtransactions are fucking insane
Because the gaming industry is horrendously anti-consumer. Buy the new product, consume it, and move on. Don't ask questions. Don't voice dissent.
When did we wuz stop being about Egypt?
Official reviews were never on the hands of the people, baiterfag. Both metacritic and steam reviews are community features that happen to use a rating system along with the ability to state your opinion as a consumer to contextualize the rating you‘ve given.
”User reviews” are essentially opinions. Points of view. Anyone wanting to put a stop to that kind of stuff is acting FULLY inside a totalitarian/corporativistic/anti-consumer manner.
Contrary to popular belief, acting solely in the interests of corporations goes in direct opposition to capitalism and it‘s also anti-communism/marxism by definition. These people are excessively confused or just plainly ignorant of what they‘re actually standing for.
I can understand disliking the "SJW Propaganda" angle, but microtransactions? Really? How much of a bootlicker are you to be against that nonsense?
Have audience reviews ever been useful? It seems like the only purpose of this feature is for autists to dogpile on a game when it does something they view as political and give it upvotes when it has a boob in it.
how many years Ed Boon has? and why he tweets like a toddler???
dont you realize, it costs TIME, NOT MONEY!!!
it can also be abused by competitors to shit on a game made by their rivals.
yes, please defend WB and NRS, the benevolent ones here. stupid consumers need to shut the fuck up and just open their wallet.
They're incredibly useful because it publicly demonizes a product in a central location. I've checked out interesting looking games on Steam only to not buy them because the reviews said the game or dev was doing something scummy.
It's an amazing tool, honestly, and anyone against it is a corporate shill in the highest manner.
>because it ran like shit on PC
A WB game run like shit on PC at launch? What a surprise.
But user, time IS money.
>make a shitty monetization system that requires tons of grinding
>don't even let richfags buy currency
Literally what's the point of doing this grindy shit if you're not even trying to fleece retards? Are game devs so fucked they just think that kind of game design is normal? SFV does this shit too with FM post-AE.
And when "professional" game reviews have ever been useful? It seems like the only purpose they have is to endorse mediocre games with paid reviews by big companies.
Consumer reviews are plenty useful for everything that isn't entertainment media.
>Even if that's true, why is that an issue? If you buy the game and you don't like particular things about it why should your voice be silenced?
Prove that these people who "reviewed" the game actually bought it. Protip: 95% of time you can't since watching a couple of let's play vids or small reviewers will usually provide you enough info to fake the knowledge necessary to "review" it.
i was hoping it'd be good this time man
>audience reviews
More like voicing consumer opinions. Horrifying stuff, I know.
I think people like you are the exact cause of every totalitarian genocide in communist governments.
Everyone that takes the time to review videogames for free online is a huge fucking idiot whose taste can't be trusted.
>be WB
>ALWAYS push the greediest, scummiest shit models in your games
>cry about how muh millionaire CEOs are losing their mansions when people don't cough up $120 Premium Game Tier Plus-Ultra and then a few hundred more on cash shop transactions
this is the same company that trotted some dead producer's name out and pretend to be making charitable donations if you bought a DLC commemorating him (charitable donations were only made for purchases made in like one state)
if only the game literally told you how to unlock each costume. But you are clearly a very intelligent person that knows exactly what he is talking about for this game he has never seen at all. You sir are definitely not a fucking retard that is being mad about nothing instead of actual problems with the game.
Don't you need to buy the game on steam to review it?
max hates this shit and called out the 8 hour rotation of overpriced skins and intros did this retard not watch?
But time is money friend.
Someone punch this faggot
>aren't for sale
this may be true, but if you can buy the quartz to roll for the cosmetics, you're still paying for it
What did you learn user?
Manchildren trying to keep up with zoomer """"culture"""".
WB makes EA look like amateur hour.
that i should wait before i buy a wb game on pc i got a refund so it doesn't matter just a bummer because it was somewhat fun
I rather have a hateful review or/and a horny review over a paid review.
>roll for the cosmetics
Not how it works.
The problem is that when I go read a fucking consumer review about MK11 I don't learn a fucking thing about the game it's 500 word diatribes about how it's a crime some stupid fucking ninja's tits and being pissy at a fictional black person.
Most reviews are worthless, at this point, the best way to know if a game is good is to see streams, gameplay or wait for the reviews that take months after the game releases and are not bound to be made for time relevance monetization.
I ain’t gonna say those kind of people you just described doesn’t exist, but if you think a game bombs solely due to them crying about not seeing titties then you are even more retarded than I thought.
memes evolve, fampai. in matter of days in current year of our lord jeebus Kahn, true ruler of Krautworld
>2 hour return policy
dude, come on
subtlety goes a long way in baitcrafting
This is the rantings of a 55 year old.
$6440 is the amount of money you could have earned flipping burgers instead of grinding for unlocks you paid for when you bought the damn game.
It bombed because it's a niche franchise in a niche genre, but every consumer review for is useless for divining its actual quality.
Why the fuck people should care about cosmetics in a fighting game?
This is literally gore DOA scenario where violence good - tits bad
So? Do you want people to play a game for more than 2 hours before they are allowed to say that they don't like it?
You‘re looking at it backwards.
>Mortal Kombat
>Niche
Wot
AYO GET WOKE WE WUZ KANGZ NIGGUH
They still moved enough credit into the game to literally buy it in the first place. What are you even trying to imply?
>Niche franchise
MK sells big numbers dude
NRS fighters sell the biggest numbers out of fighters because it's popular
>watching a couple of let's play vids or small reviewers will usually provide you enough info
exactly, it's easy enough to see how much the game blows that it validates the 95% of reviews you just mentioned
What does this have to do with Jax and his ending? I thought WE WUZ was for Egypt?
>buy
i see what you did there
Literally “how do you do fellow kids?”
goddamn how can you type this with a straight face?
Think about how easily you can describe /pol/ with its own lingo, sure. You really are the other side of the SJW coin; you don't give a damn about the game, you're just in it for the politics.
for real tho, a company this big has no fucking excuse fucking this up more than twice
Actual customers, even retarded ones are still more reliable than any other reviewer out there.
POST YFW JAX TOOK THE WAKANDA PILL
>you should trust shills, not consumers! reeeeeeeeeeeeee
ok retard
not on metacritic, which brings up another point: if you're not lying about the game (e.g. a character literally committing white genocide through time travel depicted as a happy ending, or parts of single player gameplay being impossible to beat - as in you get timed out even with the most efficient gameplay you can imagine - without stat boosts """conveniently""" given by microtransactions), why does criticism of it stop counting if you didn't waste your money? the words you speak are true and verifiable, and you still represent a lost sale to anyone with even the tiniest stake in your decisions.
the fact boon promised a good port again and it once again wasn't a good port annoys me but also makes me laugh
To be fair who is to say that he is tying that shit with a straight face?
He just gave so many youtubers like Joe and Max more fuel for the fire.
Actually nah Max would never try to ruin his relationship with Neatherrealm.
Anybody remember when a big name game or movie was allowed to just be bad an unliked by some without people online claiming that anybody who disliked it was just an incel/virgin/troll/etc? It's like we are no longer allowed to dislike things and big corps and reviewers just tell people what they are supposed to like and dislike as well as how they should feel about them.
>company that trotted some dead producer's name out and pretend to be making charitable donations if you bought a DLC commemorating him
wtf source?
They're free to say they don't like it. But it clearly isn't a review when you haven't even played the game half way through let alone beat the initial campaign/story mode.
At best it's an opinion and should be taken with a grain of salt.
I'll never understand modern MK being popular, these games sucked shit for the past decade.
Same day as all the other versions but they didn't send out review copies.
The important thing is that you learned from your mistake and are now a better person for it.
Well the people that are just posing troll comments aren't helping and you're acting like Yea Forums doesn't do the same shit
Oh how terrible for them. If only they had the support of 'credible' 'gaming' sites who would give them great reviews that were in no way paid.
Can also just use your own judgement, making an educated guess based on the types of games you're into. Fact is that even if a game is considered good by a majority, that doesn't mean you'll be into it. It's a risk you take sometimes. I bought RDR2 due to liking the first, but got bored as shit. Yet apparently it was GOTY material.
>Mortal Kombat censors boobie
>Yea Forums:REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>Notstop SEETHING for weeks
>Mortal Kombat can't even release in Japan because censoring all the violence would be too much work
>Yea Forums:...
Censoring violence is perfectly fine, especially if Japan does it.
>Jax got woke, no bikinis, 0/10
You tell me if that's the basis of a good review. That's literally one arcade ending, and it's not even that far-fetched when everyone else either goes wild with self-satisfaction when they win. Also, way to completely ignore everything else about the game, including actual problems.
>parts of single player gameplay being impossible to beat - as in you get timed out even with the most efficient gameplay you can imagine - without stat boosts """conveniently""" given by microtransactions
Is this true, is there a link to this shit?
"EARN them"
based
so what was the deal with jax's ending, Is it as bad as they say it is?
THEY TARGETED GAMERS
The WE WUZ KANGS thing was that black people used to be the kings of Egypt and should thus respect their kingly roots and return to them. It worked for both making fun of anything Egyptian or any black person dumb enough to buy into the idea. It also somewhat involved dabbing.
Review implys the people who wrote it actually experienced it first hand. Second hand experience isn't a review it's an opinion.
show me 7 (seven) reviews like that
unless they've posted the exact values they're raising that shit by i fucking doubt that they're going to do it in a satisfying way
and half the issue is the RNG on the chests, how the fuck do they patch an entire system like that out? they'd have to go in and reset every fucking chest
>retarded ones
If they're Cuphead-reviewer levels of retarded, that's a problem.
Wait, wait, so modern westernshit not only has you grind several hours for microtransaction bait in order to also make you dumb faggots believe there is content and you're actually playing the game, but the microtransaction is also drip fed and you're expected to wait REAL-TIME HOURS to buy different ones? Hahaha, holy shit, this is the ultimate padding.
most of the controversy points were catalyzed by max's stream of it. if you really want to see the source of all this shit, watch that
Yeah well too bad no one cares about a youtubers opinion, right you zoomer faggot?
But what does this have to do with Jaxs ending? It shares zero correlation
I remember, but I cant recall exactly when the change happened. Thanks for making me feel old user.
>review bombed
you mean reviewed?
2014, you're welcome.
>see your favorite skin

you people are pathetic
my PC is completely fine the settings don't change a thing the game constantly dips
>dev styles on Yea Forums alarmist shitheads
>Yea Forums stays mad
kek
Let's be fair about something: The west's standards on decency are fucked
A tit is a natural part of the human body. Your intestines on the outside is not.
the average person isn't a basement dwelling social outcast with enough freetime to grind this shit out though, they want to act like its only those nerds being upset but those nerds are literally the only people capable of doing this all without buying freemium mobile game currency
i don't understand how, when and why the average consumer started defending such blatantly anti-consumer practices, its fucking bizarre to watch them give this nonsense a good pat on the ass and say everything is fine
User reviews are not official reviews. There are no requirements, expectations, or any other kind of weight to them. They are not official.
User reviews are a community feature used by the community, for the community. If for you the word ”review” only incorporates paid articles written by people getting paid, just assign any other fucking word to the concept of ”users giving their opinions on a game”. Yes, that‘s literally what you‘re arguing against.
>literally committing white genocide
You have literally zero proof he 'massacred' white people to make Not-Wakanda happen. Here's the cutscene in question; show me a single thing that even implies anti-white violence. Hell, try arguing that this is even OOC for him when he's always been serving 'humanity' and 'the greater good'.
Because not everyone communicates through absurdist frog memes.
THEN WHY BUY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE
FUCK
>dude this game gave me aids but they're working on taht problem! Boon, the man who never lies, told me so!
You are not very good at meme correlation user. You either have too much or too little autism.
ALWAYS..ALWAYS remember:
the real score is: (Metacritic score+User score)/2
>stopping slavery is committing white genocide
How?
You got that right; they're opinions. And opinions can be wrong, and unreliable, thus making this thread pretty pointless in the first place since it assumes that the game is 'bad' simply because users rated it so for inane reasons. Granted, there are legitimate problems with the game such as grinding, but that's not the focus of discussion here, is it?
Sometimes you have to read between the lines since everyone isn't some English major that's going to know how to articulate their opinions very well. But yes, user reviews are far more helpful than professional ones, generally speaking.
Define ”troll” without basing the definition on even more vague concepts such as ”hate” or ”hateful”.
That sounds about right. Not even half a decade and it already feels like an eternity.
The real score is the one i attribute it after judging it myself. Anything else is being a sap and falling for social engineering.
wtf I love movieshit now???
>Missing the point this bad
Opinions cannot be silenced.
Someone tell me how bad the jax ending is. What exactly do they say that makes it awful.
now anything after this complaint will just be discarded because they think we are trying to hate the game
the krypt has always been bullshit and fucking retarded user. get used to it.
>make the world better for everyone and create circumstances that leads to his mostly white wife being born
>still a problem
Why are people upset about this?
For video games, perhaps. That will never, ever happen in the world of literature or film since you require specialised knowledge to truly analyse them. A lot of people can tell you Michael Bay movies are bad. Professional critics tell you WHY.
>a FIFTY-FIVE(55) year old unironically typed this and clicked post
boon you are retarded and worthless kill yourself
>Have to grind to unlock costumes, fatalities, brutalities
>However, everything in unlocked randomly so you can't grind towards what you want.
>The krypt is just a game of chance to find anything worth while.
>The towers of time have modifiers that often makes them a hassle to do unless you grind for your own modifiers to counter them.
>Censorship is okay when it's violence, especially when Japan does it
he ended black slavery. that's it.
it would've been better if he went back all way back to the first human being born to prevent slavery on all races .but instead he goes full Wakanda
lol why would I give a shit about a dumpster fire
>strawmanning me this hard
When did I ever want them silenced? I just said they were shit and unreliable; they can write what they think 'til their fingers go blue, but they shouldn't expect others to take them seriously if they don't put in the effort.
A lot of people are just trying to hate it though. It's the nature of Yea Forums and people in general.
so you are this mad?
Unironically uses the word 'woke'.
95% of the opinions of this game are correct.
it's shit.
Got to dress up my virtual doll.
No one cares about reviews for big name titles desu. Reviews matter for smaller titles. Normies are gonna just see MK and buy it. Not look at steam to see the review for a PS4 game.
>u mad bro xD
cope
tell me more.
Jax defeats Kronika and inherits the Hourglass, allowing him to influence history. He tries making the world a better place for EVERYONE (again THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT THE DIALOGUE SAYS), presumably achieving world peace. It raises a lot of questions of how he managed to do this or what the implications of that are but who fucking cares, it's an ending to a fucking Mortal Kombat arcade ladder. This shit is such a non-issue, it's not like this is some canon story progression.
I don't get this strawman, you started this when you turned a blind eye to content you didn't care for.
everybody is saying the game is fun but the main problem was the grinding and they already said they are fixing it
There's not much to complain about without appearing to be a massive hypocrite is the issue.
>It was fine when arcsys was charging hundreds for unlockables and it was fine for SFV to have 5000 DLC costumes and charge 10 dollars for tournament banned stages, but I DRAW THE LINE AT BEING FORCED TO PLAY THE GAME!
>are you mad the only response to the immensely unfun grind is a vague "we're working on it guys :^)"
why as a matter of fact i am faggot
Post the exact text I wanna read it
He goes back to end the slavery of blacks from white people. This somehow creates not-Wakanda. It's very out of place and really doesn't tie into any of Jax's relationships or goals throughout the entire series.
There is a ratings system. They failed to meet that. It isn't like it was in Australia with its arbitrary retard rollercoaster of a ratings qualification flip-flops.
Plus I would imagine it is a case of it just isn't for general sale, not outright banned. They can probably still import it for those that care.
EXACTLY. I don't see how he couldn't get other countries to respect Africa's sovereignty with his Titan powers. I don't even see why the butthurt alt-righters are upset at this outcome, since the 'niggers' they hate are back in Africa where they belong, leaving everything else to whites.
NO. YOU WONT KNOW IF A GAME IS GOOD UNLESS YOU BUY IT. DONT LISTEN TO FAKE NEWS.
IT GETS GOOD 200 HOURS IN BUY SKINS NOW
yap mad
Yeah. I'm tired of every single game releasing with some fucking controversy that faggots accept because "th-they're fixing it" or "I-it isn't that bad!"
It's almost insulting to be part of such a dumb fuck community of gamers that will just take whatever gets shat out.
I'm absolutely fucking sick of this garbage with every, goddamn fucking game that releases.
Why can't I just get a new game that is respectful of the consumers, doesn't have some controversy surrounding it, and most of all is FUN.
I myself said user reviews are weightless. What are you even arguing for here, then? Are you so thick in the head that you failed to grasp the meta-narrative with the recent EGS comments on user reviews followed by this current discussion?
If you‘re that far behind, just lurk the thread and shut the fuck up.
He literally couldn't wait for people to get woke, so he went back in time and made some changes which resulted in a Wakanda facsimile.
Which of course totally gels with his past characterisation of being an uber-patriot of America and what not.
yes they said they are patching the grind dumbass
youtu.be
you lazy fuck
It's a shitty ladder ending and it's clear that someone on the dev team was using Jax to grandstand. It's also further evidence of the series' general shift in tone when paired with many of the other changes. Shit like this rubs a lot of long time fans the wrong way, so to say that it's a non-issue is disingenuous.
> forced to do CPU shit to get cosmetics
this is the worst, guess il be stuck with default looks forever
See . Apart from the slightly cringy writing, there's nothing wrong with what he wished for. It's telling that this is the ending that's getting people assblasted when you have shit like bug-giants voring people or raising armies of zombies amongst dozens of other flavours of edgy crap.
It got review bombed because of the grind and shitty PC port not because of some ending everyone thought was cringe.
I got bored and just looked it up, it's weird, jax was always meant to be the All-American Man streyotype, that's why he was in the military in the earlier games, if he got this hourglass thing in literally any other game I bet he would have used it to wipe out Russia or something to make America a super world controlling nation so that when shao kahn arrives he gets his ass handed to him by superior forces.
I genuinely cannot think of a single time where I was personally served better by user reviews than critical reviews when it comes to videogames. Not a single one. When something is fundamentally broken like Fallout 76 its reflected in critical scores. Most instances of extreme deviation between user scores and critical scores in videogames reflect some political component I could 't care less about and does not affect my bottom line enjoyment of a game. In cases of something like Rape Day and Hatred mediocre games recieve inflated user scores because of some political angle and I would be burned if I believed them.
>boob bad. violence good!
ack ack idiot detractor
how much effort does it actually take to test whether or not a grindy RNG-based unlock system is fun, which spoiler alert it fucking isn't
but can they fix the shitty gameplay?
Keep on crying, corporate cuck.
So we're in agreement AAA garbage has not an ounce of effort poured into them.
they will only nerf the enemy's health at the tower but will not fix the fucking RNG in the Krypt
Africa with sovereignty is a cannibalistic shithole barely able to sustain itself. I can accept timefuckery but not something as unrealistic as Africa as a nation working without non-black intervention.
max youtuber or whatever said it. seasoned in FGC, so I think its credible.
Nobody is forcing you to play or buy the game.
Go back to ribbit. Alternate skins have always been a fighting game staple
>prevents a few jewish merchants from buying slaves already enslaved by other blacks
>somehow this makes people "woke" and creates wakanda
it literally makes no sense and could only come from the mind of a mentally disabled person.
Nice filename, very revealing.
it must duck to bee bad at mortal kombat
>microtransactions aren't a good reason to give bad reviews
I don't care about any type of censorship really, I'm just calling Yea Forums's hypocrisy.
People on this board claim to care about censorship, but they only complain when it happens to tits and ass.
catn tell if autistic or a normie?
>Shit like this rubs a lot of long time fans the wrong way, so to say that it's a non-issue is disingenuous.
Are you fucking kidding me? Jax ending slavery in some what-if scenario 'rubs long time fans the wrong way'? Just admit you hate niggers, don't hide behind blatant bullshit like this.
>Ed Boon, one of the most respected veterans of the industry, a 55 year old man, tweets like a teenage girl
clips.twitch.tv
Just post this to make MK teenagers fuck off.
Yeah, that was before social media became as big as it is.
the fact you know says a lot. back to resetera faggot
Complaining about this when the fucking DLC is complete garbage. Four guest characters one from DC and the others are just fillers. Fuck this game.
His wife is pretty much white. There's some sort of white influence somewhere. Things like this have always been a you problem.
lol boon, stop talking like a "hello fellow kids" retard
Clearly not.
Why do games like Resident Evil 2 and Sekiro launch almost flawlessly yet tried and true formulas like fucking fighting games launch with what seems like zero consideration of anything?
And nobody is forcing you to buy this shit either.
Have willpower faggot.
Still doesn't excuse that they even considered this to be okay.
real tired of the phrase 'review bombed'
if people dont like your shitty game, FOR WHATEVER REASON, their opinions are still justified, even if, actually, ESPECIALLY IF, they didnt buy your game because of the reason.
instead of dismissing them as trolls, maybe acknowledge their loud caustic response and plan accordingly for your next game instead of doubling down and accusing them of bigotry for disliking your fucking video game.
mortal kombat failed because we dont need a new mortal kombat release every fucking year. especially inferior/side grade games full of microtransactions and politically correct nonsense. catering to the politically correct crowd is also hilariously retarded for a franchise that rose to fame BECAUSE it was politically incorrect, mortal kombat used to be THE game that pushed the limits of free speech when it came to highlighting extremely gratuitous, over the top ultra violence with the T&A only tagging along as a matter of course because almost all hyper violent media contain some mild sexuality.
basically, people hate the new mortal kombat because its unnecessary, doesnt bring anything new(thats good) to the table, and tries to morally shame its fanbase to pander to people who have no actual interest in mortal kombat. PR failure from the get go.
Since when was ed boon respected?
because tits and ass censorship is literally happening at an epidemic level. all the biggest publishers, media outlets, and even console producers. how disingenuous can your faggot post be?
yes but they could actually make a better, more enjoyable product that i would want to buy and on that merit i feel that they should put some raw meager of effort in to get more sales instead of cranking out unsatisfying grindfests that lower the overall enjoyment of the game and lessen the overall value of the series
shit like the fallout series proves that you pile enough shit into a once highly praised series people will stop buying it
Nobody here is japanese. People only complain when they are directly affected. I fail to see any hypocrisy.
But its the game fun?
You ignored both sentences before that just to paint the situation exactly how you want to see. It's clear that you can only argue in bad faith.
>someone doesn't agree with me
>must be handsome and successful dev
lmao @ ur life
Not everyone communicates like a brain dead teenager either
I do care about games, unfortunately games have been politicized, negatively effecting them in the process.
>spoiling to hide yet another google filename
Do not question the logic of these people
Edboy just bought himself a big old bag of hurt on youtube tomorrow.
Number one, we're in a timeline where colonisation irreversibly wrecked a whole lot of things in Africa, and we'll never be certain how things would've turned out without that happening. Number two, there were plenty of stable and prosperous African civilisations in history, including the Songhai Empire (which collapsed due to the usual corrupt shit that happened to every imperial power in history). Third, this is a series set in a universe with multiple dimensions, magic, powerful deities and comic-book ninjas. 'Realism' was never really a player anyway.
>all your images should be only from Yea Forums
again, a faggot. why are you still here?
You can't possibly be this naive. All this is deliberate, it takes a nuBattlefront 2 magnitude of flopping for publishers to be forced to change anything.
True, but it won't stop me from calling out garbage when I see it.
Sure you don't. It's not hypocrisy to let short sighted morons get a taste of their own stupidity. Stop splitting hairs or suffer with everyone else.
Why when negative reviews are spammed it's review bombing but when positive reviews are spammed it doesn't get a special name?
They aren't fixing it in a sense that they fucked up. They are literally haggling, they offer ridiculously high prices to see for how much the community is ready to settle for. Same goes for the grinding, how much time are they willing to kill before coughing up money. Is it 3000 hours, or generously patched 2500 hours? Is it 276% of the price or generous 200% for a skin?
The reality is that players should be haggling for removal of that shit.

It's really less a problem with the content and more with how horrible the writing in it is. He literally says "I'm not waiting centuries to people to get woke".

Back the neonigger into a corner and he starts blurting out perfect textbook strawmen. You specifically searched google for a picture of DSP sipping semen.
everybody (you) follow on twitter. not representative of the market of this game
The violence in MK11 wasn't censored for most people here. And ages ago, people hated how toned down the violence was for MK vs DCU. If this game wasn't violent either, I'm pretty sure there'd be a vocal population on Yea Forums that'd be upset.
those aren't 60 dollars
This is what happens when you lose your core values.
TF2, dota 2 and gacha games don't require a $60 initial purchase. Get fucked retard
It's hilarious. As always, poltards pretending to be retarded and whining about dumb shit gave YET ANOTHER game a perfect scapegoat for its negative scores. It's like you subhumans never learn.
Dota2 and TF2 are free to play, and CS:GO cost 10 bucks for the longest time, and is now free.
This is a 60 dollar game.
You forget their character designer making the women ugly and completely clothed because attractive women in sexy clothes and being attracted to said women is immature and degrading to women, per his own words.
>We intentionally released our game in a shitty state because Warner Bros. have us buy the balls. Don't buy our game if you don't agree, bigot
Just add some girlish lingo and nine emojis and I will believe this is a quote from Ed Boon's twitter.
you forgot CSGO retard
If you talk this even ironically you deserve to die a slow painful death
They're free and their playerbases are composed of literal subhumans, especially gachashit.
CSGO is also free
You've misunderstood what the issue is for these detractors.
Friendly reminder to give negative reviews on Steam around a week after a review bomb so it actually counts towards the overall score. Need to change it from one big bomb to a lot of small bombs over a longer period of time so they don't get caught by Steams anti-review bomb system
>comparing a free to play to a full blown $60 game
absolute brainlet shill
not when it was first released, shit for brains
The same people that called out the censorship of the old games aren't the same zoomers on Yea Forums who act their lives are over because titties are being scrubbed from games.
If they toned down the violence of the next game, nobody would give a shit, but we'd see hundreds of threads about the censored outfits.
If said core values are 'boobs', there's still plenty in the game; just look at Kitana. Also, Fox is still a legit pro, furry or not; I thought 'true gamers' would be able to see past superficial shit like that.
Jesus ed. Good thing im working on my cheat engine table thank the elder gods for no anti cheat in any mk game.

I mean, he could literally just link to the metacritic page for any game that's gotten review bombed, or any metacritic page for anything for that matter. well-written and conveyed opinions are increasingly rare.
i hate how everyone pretends to like sonicfox just because he's good at fighting games, he's just some bland douche that uses his sexuality as a personality substitute and thats just as annoying as the dudebro pussychrusher stereotype everyone shits on constantly
he's good at what he does but he's as exciting as watching paint dry

So that makes censorship of literally everything else not as important? Just because your precious fapbait is being removed at a higher pace?
not him but that doesn't matter because it is temporary cosmetics anyways, and besides it's a solid game even without them.

I love how quickly and desperately you people leap to defend censorship whenever you think it makes the people you want to be your enemies angry.

Most people would've been fine if they reverted to the original MK1-3 design, but she just doesn't look good.
Oh, so indie streamers are the real deal now? Funny, I thought you hated Twitch and YouTube wannabe 'celebs'.
Fox's very nature is superficial, he gets treated how he acts: a spastic socially stunted retard.

It didn't. They were living in malaria huts and stabbing and enslaving each other before Whitey arrived. Whitey leaves and they go back to living in malaria huts and stabbing and enslaving each other
I don't care about censorship actually, I just hate hypocrites most of all.
You know, I forgot actually. Nothing seems wrong with this future.

Censoring shit like violence has a major implication on video games as a whole and would affect most people, the moment a major publisher censors violence, arguments that would send us back to the Jack Thompson era would be considered legitimate, while the most you can argue for titties is a slippery slope.
>what were the African empires
They weren't much compared to Rome, but then again nothing much was. Besides, if empire size and development was everything, you guys would be worshipping the Mongols.
have sexual intercourse
That's completely ridiculous for a few reasons, chief among them being that you've completely misdiagnosed the issue behind the outcry. The problem is that the change in outfits are antithetical to the tone of the series as a whole. Mortal Kombat is a franchise rooted in 90s cheese that has always reveled in its cheesecake and hyper-violence, so much so that they've become staples of the series. Changes like these alienate long-term fans. So if you think a lack of violence in a Mortal Kombat game wouldn't draw ire from Yea Forums, then you're crazy.
Stop pretending you now suddenly care about brown people
You're shitposting, but I agree with that first part, Yea Forums cries about the dumbest shit.
If an African American man and an African American woman met in his original timeline to make a family, how the fuck was he able to get the exact same family tree hundreds of years later?
why does it have to during trump admin? that's when things got more sucky in general. Take CJ from GTA:SA for example, despite being a literal trope he's beloved as a character because he's played well and believable.

Because it's completely out of place, is clear that it's being used to grandstand, and lines up with the other political bullshit surrounding the game. If you don't take umbrage with the changes in the series' tone, then that's fine, but the Jax ending is another apparent symptom to the people that do. So yeah, the issue is deeper than "black people bad" for them.

Censorship.
The year in which MK sells exclusively because of its single player. Also, eat shit for implying multiplayer makes grinding okay.
The most amusing part about this titty/microtransaction "us vs them" kerfuffle is that neither side bought the game
Jax should've gone back in time to stop the reviews.
>Everyone that takes the time to review videogames for free online is a huge fucking idiot whose taste can't be trusted.
Truly the very definition of untrustworthy people. Take it from me, kiddos: you should only ever trust reviews paid by developers. Sorry, incels.
Proxy wars are fun.
Reading comprehension you absolute niggers
All I said you guys are retarded for assuming that MK is a singleplayer game.
>Still fucking retarded that you'd have to grind for hours upon hours to unlock shit
Fuck you, zoomer.
I mean, MKX had a similarly retarded amount of microtransactions, and they used the same excuse of "but you EARN them!" ignoring that they were indeed for sale, the fact they're on sale at all is the issue, not that it's an option.
>censorship
It's also interesting how quickly and desperately you accuse developers of 'censorship' the moment their creative vision doesn't exactly suit your tastes.
you are literally letting /pol/ live rent free in your head
YOU are retarded for not knowing MK11's audience.
Why would anyone willingly go to a swampland penal colony when their main source of manpower and economical potential is now gone? Or is slavery in general just missing from this timeline and no wars ever occurred ever again, creating a global golden age?

It's out of place because the character has always been an ultra American patriot, with his African ancestry never really being brought up in the series before. And there's a multitude of ways to improve the lives of everyone on the planet, so for him to do so in such a specific way stands out.
Good.
These sjw’s need to learn what happens when you go woke and betray your core values.
I heard there was like a 300 hour average grind to get everything.
I played MK9 online and had a lot of fun with it.
>explain this logic, conservatards
Fixed.
I can tell you for a fact it is statistically proven that online reviews for products are far from reliable. If you're going to rely on them, at least read them to see if they actually wrote anything of substance.
uhh we aren't the ones with purple hair whining about sexism
Speaking of which. How full do you think MK 10's server will be knowing MK11 will fail
That sounds an awful lot like defending this grown man's way of speaking like a teenage girl
>You should ignore other people‘s opinions
You forgot to explain the logic, Cletus
You are right, dad, working towards one goal is totally the same as grinding Memecoins and then the game rolling a loaded dice, and telling you "Woops, you didn't get the new skin for your waifu with 0,2% drop rate, just a shitty voice command, better ask your mom for her credit card so you can buy more rolls xD"
dude cyborg is not a woman, i mean if you cross paths with that person and that thing is wearing some pants and shirt theres no way youll even identify that as a woman
>Africa as a nation working without non-black intervention.
whites literally "intervened" and stole all of Africa's resources while subjugating them for almost 300 years in the age of imperialism.
Then, after WWII when the Allies realized that "oh hey, that hitler guy was a douchebag, maybe that whole "white supremacy" thing was a bad idea in the first place" and suddenly granted these nations sovereignty and drew arbitrary lines of demarcation, which created shitshows like Nigeria where the 150 cultures living in it literally cannot find peace politically because they're so different culturally, ideologically, and religiously, all because England went "durr, whell lahds, they're oll cloase to the Nye-jah deltah" and crammed them in together.

>reading comprehension
>couldn't tell I was talking about singleplayer content, regardless of the game having multiplayer aspects/online play.
Either way, what we can agree on is that this is disgusting and this shit cannot be tolerated, unless we just want to see games we like being destroyed by devs who've changed to fit an agenda
Mortal Kombat has always been ultra-violent with a colourful cast; that's the core-values for you. Skimpy clothing was a creative choice that could be changed, nothing more; I don't think you're so concerned about Cage donning coats in the newer games instead of going topless, are you?
The pure seeth in these posts. Imagine coming on Yea Forums to post passive aggressive comments about "board culture".
>no really, conservatards
Fixed.
Why do you boomers glorify wasting the most amount of time possible to get something in a fucking video game? And before you pull out the inevitable boomer argument, no I don't want instant gratification, I want to be able to earn things in a reasonable amount of fucking time. Faggot.
So to you Africa only popped into existence the moment white people set their foot there?
Please see
You're ignoring my argument right now, which isn't helping. Again, a poorly supported, invalid opinion can be safely ignored, which requires reading and thought to identify.
He gave you a nice explanation; but you still shot your pants.
>whites literally "intervened" and stole all of Africa's resources
I wasn't aware that they had stolen their supply of warthog dung, rotten wood, and mud. Also, how many times are we at now where the indigenous people begin to genocide the outsiders, only to bitch and beg for more to come back?
yeah dude San Francisco is full of conservatives whining about sexism.
retard.
You do realize that‘s the exact point Yea Forums makes when criticising the double standards in western culture, right.
every single article bitching about sexism is from some blue haired liberal bitch.
EVERY. TIME.
What about the part where Africa as a continent was mostly a shitshow with them killing end enslaving each other long before the age of Imperialism?
Do people not realize the controversy is there to keep the game in public eye constantly? Kinda like the gore back in the day.
>whites stole Africa's resources
When whites came to Sub-saharan Africa there was literally iron, diamonds and gold just lying on the ground.
They did nothing with it
>arbitrary borders made different cultures live together, that's why there is war

>User reviews should be silenced only because they are worthless to me
Glad you forgot about oil, diamonds, and gold.
DO NOT BUY SJW GAMES
Africa always existed as a CONTINENT well before modern humanity. The people there considered themselves members of their own tribes, not 'Africans', the same way no other country's people really went for the whole 'nationalism' thing until relatively recently.
no one is asking the really important question, how many mortal kombat characters are now TRANS? still zero? GOD DAMN WB AND THEIR ANTI TRANS BIGOTRY. BOYCOT WB AND MORTAL KOMBAT UNTIL ALL CHARACTERS ARE TRANS! AMIRITE MY FELLOW MENTALLY ILL FAGGOTS?
I didn't forget, I just didn't mention it because nobody there was fucking using it until other countries invented the technologies for it. Don't worry, many warlords are still making use of the natural resources to enrich their cities and neighboring countries.
AND YOU WILL NOT BUY THEM TOO
I mean, okay. I guess the Mali empire never existed either.
Don't forget the agricultural/industrial crops like rubber, and the manpower itself, which is what alt-righters moan about because it created the 'African-American' problem that the previously 'all-white' paradise of America apparently couldn't do without.
Pick any period of history and the whole African continent is a good ~200 years behind the rest of the world. What the fuck would a Congolese hunting down wild deer in the savannah want with diamonds? They did nothing with the stuff.
Yes. I've been playing it.
Wow three whole blacks. Well that clearly settles it then.
It's more like
>if you actually value user reviews you're stupid
Or maybe
>user reviews are more politically biased than professional reviews despite your protestations
Take your pick.
lol that sounds like/pol/ and how easily they screech "anti-white".
You‘re saying user reviews are unreliable, so gaming platforms are free to make moves to stop potential buyers from reading the opinions of the consumer. To put it simply, it‘s fine for gaming platforms to put a stop to user reviews.
To put it even more simply, we should ignore other people‘s opinions.
aw dude they were my favorite DLC empire
If you read the steam reviews its mostly all about transaction shit.
>I think your review is shit
>therefore I must also oppose its online publication,and thus your right to free speech
What infallible logic. Tell me, how well did you do in high-school debates?
User reviews are better because they're funnier and they're not restrained by having to remain professional. The opinions of professional critics are completely worthless to me. I play what I want.
>whites literally "intervened" and stole all of Africa's resources
How do you steal the act of hacking up children with a machete?
yeah, not 3/5ths of each one like you're implying, you stupid fucking dickhead. take your bullshit selective racism somewhere else asshole

How utterly confusing.
And what the fuck did he do with the gold?
Oh right, played with it like a chimp.
User reviews are the user‘s opinions. Nothing more, nothing less. As opinions, you should give them their deserved weight.
Specifically because they‘re opinions, trying to put a stop to user reviews and the user‘s opinions in the market is a totalitarian maneuver. It‘s anti-capitalist, pro-corporation.
>Europe at the time

It aint the 90s anymore bud
We are not talking about any one individual user review, but user reviews in general. So yes, everything I said is not only logical, but also caught you red-handed.
>incels
I dunno, his bait is so obvious that it's actually good, quite a feat.
It's okay when muslims, chinese, jews and indians steal, rape and kill Africans
It's only bad when white people do it
This game is a cocktail of retarded decisions. Awful decisions regarding in game balance and microtransactions and requiring you to be online for shit that shouldn't even require it. On top of that, the game got hit with the "core values" stick and went and got woke. I hope it crashes and burns.
He must have really worked really hard digging all that gold out by himself.

MK IS STILL GOING TO BE THE NUMBER ONE GAME FOR THE NEXT THREE MONTHS
It hasn't worked that way for about a decade
I don't want and never suggested they be done away with altogether I just think it's a useless feature because, like I said, in cases where there is a huge deviation between professional and user scores there's some sort of stupid controversy at play.
Just when I thought you couldn't get any stupider, you write this. Do you actually need me to write out plainly without any sarcasm to tax your stunted intellect, why me disagreeing with user reviews is NOT equivalent to support for their censorship? Or are you going to actually insist like those annoying alt-right pests that disregarding you = unequal representation?
>le fragile triggered snowflakes
everytime. go back to r eddit.
Do you know anything about the Mali empire? It’s nowhere near the Mediterranean, granted traders from Europe would visit Timbuktu because of tales of their insane wealth, but Musa was not pulling the strings like you say he was.
>It hasn't worked that way for about a decade
Christians do still feel video games is the devil as of today.
The Trump references and "woke" shit are retarded and I could care less about Outworlders but nothing will ever convince me that Skarlet's lazy pallette swap outfit from MK9 beats her weird desert cultist look from MK11

I wonder if I could use similar logic to justify the Allies bombing Dresden to a crisp as returning every German bomb with interest.
And? old boomers will always feel that way, it's not like theyre the ones behind this censorship now days. It's hipster millennials in california.
lolwut?
You're the one calling them "blacks" and I didn't mention anything about the 3/5ths compromise. Methinks you're projecting your own racism. You the one upset over a silly fighting game cutscene.
Not confusing at all. Here's a terrible review of a very good game. I like it because the person is stupid and it's funny. Professional critics are worthless because they're fucking boring hacks and I don't need them to tell me what to buy.
both of you better start calling them niggers or gtfo of this website.
F u n n e h
So what's important to you? Accuracy? Wit? Or just your gut?
>>one's slavery justifies another's slavery
totally missed my point, mansa was only rich because he practiced evil, ergo the loser propping him up as 'the richest man in history' is basically supporting slavery of blacks by muslims as a metric of success is a retard.
You misunderstand my point. All of the European churches I named were made of modern materials like stone, glass, wood, etc. Musa built mosques out of fucking mud. All of that gold and he couldn’t afford some better materials? In a land as fertile and rich in resources as West Africa, you’d think the richest man to ever live would be assed to at least quarry some stone.
>when your only knowledge of history comes from twitter posts
The Timbuktu Mosque was finished in 1327 and was architecturally behind any building in Europe for the last 1500 years and more
Still african, Mansa Musa controlled the salt and gold trade routes. Slaves don't become a real money maker until colonialism long after the decline of the Mali Empire.
still don't get why they keep the damned thing.
I suppose the days when they patch it up are days when the locals aren't trying to kill each other.

Based on their comments and clear stance on the issue, Epic Games is already making a push for the removal of this feature. When you merge that with the article in the OP, you can see a narrative forming.
Any one comment from people on the internet in which they attack the merit of user reviews, in this scenario/narrative, can be assumed to be also attacking the validity of user reviews themselves.
How about responding to make actual argument instead of pretending I said something I never said?
But Mansa Musa made his wealth by controlling the gold for salt trade in western Africa
>Slaves don't become a real money maker
Slavery was the biggest money maker in that area since before Euros got the new world.
Entire kingdoms in West Africa boast about their success is due to slavery.
why does he type like he's still in elementary school?
fuck you you shitlord nigger-hating fucking BITCH
>Still african, Mansa Musa controlled the salt and gold trade routes.
so mansa musa, a muslim, looted africa and sold all their resources to the europeans and islamic world, to personally enrich himself and then squander it all at a lightning rate, is a hero of africa?
any way u slice it, mansa musa was the african equivalent of a robber baron and slave master. not a good example of african greatness.
>only rich because he practiced evil
No, he was rich mainly because Mali was the No. 1 producer and exporter of gold in the world at the time, when there was great demand for it. If his kingdom sold slaves, which it may have done like any other empire at the time, it was a reprehensible little side business. This, again, doesn't justify nor outweigh the incredible scale of cruelty of the Atlantic slave trade.
who some crazy outrage fag
>architecturally behind
What the fuck does that mean? I guess neo-classical revival is behind brutalism now?
Get this fucking meme eurocentrist bollocks outta here.
But they weren't though. Slavery requires colonialism to make the kind of wealth that Mansa Musa had. The real money was in the salt for gold trade.
And then will be promptly forgotten about like every other NRS game ever.
>be Venetian trader in 14th century
>overhear stories of the world’s wealthiest man
>goes on convoys 100,000 people long, throwing gold coins like confetti to passersby
>inflated the economy of neighboring trading cities with the sheer amount of money he spent there
>decide I must see for myself
>take my ship, load all of my finest wares
>set sail for Timbuktu, the city of gold
>arrive
>see this shit
>turn 360 degrees and sail away
Slavery was the backbone of the Mali.
Who do you think did all the labor for the gold?
And there was a point where Mali gold was rebuked due to the amount ruining the economy of other states.
What exactly was wrong with my statement? Also, better to have a smidgen of actual historical knowledge rather than lies peddled by ideologues.
>>one's slavery justifies another's slavery
>Slaves don't become a real money maker until colonialism long after the decline of the Mali Empire.
>But Mansa Musa
>If his kingdom sold slaves
and just like that, i got a bunch of cucks to defend one of the world's largest proponents of african slavery :^)
all thee mad retards here
Does the game actually contain any sjw elements, or are people just whining about nothing?
Because there's...sand?
Based.
Because the richest man in the world at the time controlled a city barely more advanced than ancient Mesopotamia
We're not denying nor defending Africans owning/selling slaves. The real idiocy is in thinking that justifies everything they got at the hands of colonists, in which case you'd tacitly be admitting that black people have the right to demand retribution in turn.
Even if the user review feature was removed from every online storefront you would still be able.to Express your opinion on Twitter, Yea Forums Facebook metacritic and any number of other gaming related forums. Removing the feature from a store-front designed to sell games is, i would argue, more capitalist than not and doesn't amount to censorship or any sort of 1st amendment violation like you're implying lol your opinions are not being censored, youre being denied to express them on a particular platform in particular way by the company that owns it. That is capatalism.
And again, I'll reiterate, the feature is, in most cases where user review scores go against professional critical reception, being abused in bad faith efforts to harm what are otherwise functional products. I am not necessarily in favor of removing them altogether as I stated but if I was a company that wanted to sell games I can see how I could come to the conclusion it is not a necessary feature.
Have you considered that if stuffing politics in video games causes review bombs, maybe they should stop doing that? Because that seems to make their core audience angry, and companies usually don't want to do that.
>Slavery requires colonialism
Nigger the slave hungry Muslim cultures has been pushing east centuries before Euros even thought of sailing west. The amount of profit made in the Islamic slave trade is miles bigger than the Europeans ever did.
A slave trade doesn't require Colonialism, it was already going strong before and is still going on today.
>i-it's OK if darkies did it before
Slavery is bad no matter whoever does it. You don't get to pick and choose who deserves it.
>Slavery requires colonialism
jeez, stop posting anytime!
Finding user reviews ”disagreeable” is in no way a reasonable stance to even have. It‘s clear already that everyone knows user reviews are only opinions, so it‘s not the case that you find ”a person reading user reviews as if they‘re a gospel” to be disagreeable. That would be based on the assumption that people don‘t treat user reviews as opinions, but instead as actual critiques. Because this interpretation is based on an incoherent basis, that people don‘t understand these reviews to be opinions, you couldn‘t have meant it like this.
The only other way to find user reviews disagreeable, is to be in disagreement with the practice itself. After all, you couldn‘t have meant it to be directed at wrongful interpretations of the practice.
Morality is not the point of damned argument you dumb shiteating double nigger.
Its the magnitude and profitability of the Islamic slave trade before the start of European colonialism.
Nice strawman, he said that Musa was rich because of slaves, not that slavery was ok
>We're not denying nor defending Africans owning/selling slaves. The real idiocy is in thinking that justifies everything they got at the hands of colonists, in which case you'd tacitly be admitting that black people have the right to demand retribution in turn.
my point was africa was never really colonized, africans sold out africa. africans sold each other off to outsiders, africans enslaved each other to mine and harvest their natural resources to sell to outsiders. africans are to blame for africa. the only parts of africa that western civilization ever bothered to colonize were largely empty, like south africa. northern africa was enslaved by muslims from the east, not europeans from north.
nobody ever said that you bumblefuck. in fact, you're the one that seems to be implying it
Congrats, you also proved BLM has every right to exist if crimes demand consequences.
What, exactly, is he trying to imply by stating Muslims and Africans were engaging in slavery before 'Euros', which by the way is completely false if you consider how many slaves the Roman Republic/Empire had? You disingenuous motherfucker.
Videogames have always had politics you fuckin goober. Ever hear of Final Fantasy VII or Oddworld? This isn't new, you're the problem.
>Congrats, you also proved BLM has every right to exist if crimes demand consequences.
never said, and never would say blm has no right to exist? maybe i would argue that they are stupid and their nonsensical actions and behavior have done more to increase racism against blacks them to uplift them and/or improve their lot in life and therefor hurt black people more than help them. so again, blacks pulling blacks down all on their own, just as mansa musa did to his african brothers.
He said “before Euros even thought of sailing west” not that they didn’t engage in slavery
Don't you know, user? It's only intrusive if it's politics they disagree with. Gotta get rid of the 'special snowflakes' by forcing games to stay the way they like them, after all.
Not that guy, but highlighting racism isn't increasing it.
Agreed, those are more men than some "men" for sure
>What, exactly, is he trying to imply by stating Muslims and Africans were engaging in slavery before 'Euros'
Romans are a dead people and state. After the fall of the Western Empire Europe aside from Iberia and Scandanavia had a reprieve from large scale Slave trade. Due in part of the nature of fuedalism and serfdom.
But the point is, The Mediterranean-African slave trade was already an expansive and profitable even before the colonial Empires took a slice of the pie.
>Not that guy, but highlighting racism isn't increasing it.
yeah, BLM has totally helped repair race relations and enrich the lives of black people in the USA. BLM has totally not divided race relations in america further, BLM has totally not been held up as a prop by white supremacists as an excuse to further alienate and ignore black people as 'unreasonable', BLM has totally improved the lives of black people!
*rolls eyes*
No, those are actual men. Like they were born with dicks.
So you really are fine with the removal of the feature simply because there are other spaces in which user reviews could be present? That‘s even worse than a clear corporativist stance. The feature is already present on Steam, to remove/agree to its removal would be the same as taking a quite decisive stance in being intolerant of this community feature as it currently is. You‘re trying to find some kind of middle road, but it‘s impossible to do so.
I‘m not american and I don‘t care about amendments or whatever. I‘m not basing my point on free speech. The use of authority to denote the non-existence of this feature on Steam is, naturally, an extreme AND corporativist stance to take.
Capitalism relies on the creation of a product or service and the client‘s reception of that product to generate a feedback loop where both sides lift each other up. To impede the client‘s judgement to run its course is, by definition, anti-capitalist.
To argue for the purity of the Steam Store by removing everything outside of the store itself is a reasonable claim. At least it would be if Steam was exclusively a store. The Steam Community is just as important to its image, if not more so. The point you made here does not follow through.
Assuming this was true, the fact still remains; was the excesses of European colonialism and dehumanising treatment of Africans completely morally justified, simply because of preexisting slavery?
