- In addition to the more than 800 comments on her original article, Plagge said she received more than two dozen personal Facebook messages and countless tweets from disgruntled fans. Some fans called her a “bitch” and a “cunt,” while others told her she was terrible at her job. (A few noted that they would still sleep with her.) Plagge said some of the comments on her longer, on-camera review were flagged to the company security as a threat.
Maaaan, we need more video games reviewed by women. I was pretty stoked for Days Gone? But this?
- Sadly, Deacon’s charisma and bitchin’ bike aren't enough to carry Days Gone story, which is clumsily handled. Days Gone insists on tedious, barely interactive flashbacks of Deacon and his wife Sarah which play out like bad high school drama - her demand that he “promise to ride me as much as you ride your bike” at their wedding is a line that sticks in the mind - and repeating missions which begin and end with a stationary Deacon spouting overly-long monologues about their love.
For the first half, this storyline at least forms a consistent emotional throughline and motivation for Deacon beyond simply staying alive, but it loses its direction in the second, where the focus shifts toward new characters and changing relationships with old ones, and I was left confused as to why I was meant to care. Of course, one cutscene played out for me entirely in slow motion, without audio, so maybe I missed it.
I mean, I honestly believe someone like that would review No Man's Sky as "Farmville with space ships."
