People be like "tHiS gAmE wiLl KiLl pOkEmOn" then show you fucking ark survival with a mildly bigger emphasis on cute monsters and bare bones ass gameplay

Oh what's that you made a witty meme about "GREAT GRAPHICS"? You mean to tell me the GRAPHICS are you selling point when the game you keep jerking off is literally just ARK with worse graphics? WOWIE

Pick up fucking Cassette Beasts or the upcoming Beastie Ball, not plagiarism simulator 9000. At least those games are made by people who support LGBT instead of someone who couldn't give less shit about your right to exist.

I pirated and completed Hogwart's Legacy because I fucking hated how little it respected player agency and I wanted to write about how fucking bad it was. (I pirated it because fuck JKs TERF ass)

It's a game that abso-fucking-lutely refuses to let you play it how you want it and instead endlessly railroads you into how the developers want you to play.

Early in the game is a great example, you're following the professor through the dark. Instead of something interesting or engaging, like dark hands grasping you and pulling you into the dark, or a Nier Automata-like hidden ending with instant credits, no...

A big blaring ALL CAPS RETURN TO PROFESSOR FIGG with a fucking countdown and when the countdown ends it just says "Game Over" with no real explanation of why not staying close to the professor mattered or failed the mission. No, no reason just DEVELOPER SAID DON'T DO THAT.

That whole fucking stupid shit game is on rails like that. I'm so glad Baldur's Gate 3 came out and showed people what a fucking game that lets you have agency and play how you want is like.
