I just think that believing every game out there owes us representation and has to reflect current day is just odd and to factor it in to the final score is weird. Same goes for those who think games owe them hot female characters, like dismissing Star Wars Outlaws on her looks alone is absurd. To me it's narcissicism in it's purest form and it sadly permeates off both ends. It would be like me going up to Tarantino and demanding his movies must represent my identity.
It doesn't surprise me that this game's performance is not gonna go well though. It looks like it will melt a lot of gpus
That's a reasonable stance, but again you've taken a minor pain point of the larger review and framed it as the only reason it scored so low. She never said it was owed, just that it's absence was apparent. That is a totally reasonable thing to note!
I agree with you generally on artistic license, I just detest how (gamers especially) frame every grievance as such. Now this poor author will inevitably get an absolute tirade of nonsense directed at her despite penning a perfectly valid critique.
