Raven'south Cry Developer Expresses His Anger Towards the Review

The game was criticized basically on the following points from GameStop:

Abiding crashes, including a bug which kills all game progress.
Frame charge per unit is choppier than the seas your ship sails on.
Rampant racism, sexism, and homophobia.
Combat is cleaved at worst and push-mashing tedium at best.
Stilted vocalism acting makes community theater seem like the Regal Shakespeare Visitor

Where as in that location 'Expert' in the game was N/A. Rarely do nosotros always see such a one sided review for a game and the developers did limited their feelings nigh the review through their Facebook page. Saying:

"In example someone has doubts nearly our mental attitude, every bit developers, towards that "political correctness" thing we've mentioned here and in that location:

Amongst the bad things mentioned in GameSpot's Raven's Cry review summary, you can see "Rampant racism, sexism and homophobia".

Seriously - ***?

This is a tale about damn pirates here, a totally bad guys, thieves, murderers and rapists. Only nowadays, equally a game programmer, you MUST adjust towards political correctness standards, or otherwise the so-called "progressive" (and loudest) press slaps yous in the face. Hatred is bound to be smashed by them, non for being a bad game (considering I believe it volition be very decent, withal zippo revolutionary), but for continuing upward against standards like these.

Allow me say one thing to everyone buying and advocating this agenda: **** ***! We won't fall to our knees under your SJW *******. Making games is most liberty of creativity and if you want to tell a "bad" story, do it! Don't permit the fright of bad reviews stop you. Gamers have their ain brains and if the game itself is proficient, they will back up it.

P. S. We do realize that Raven'south Weep is an unpolished production and deserves criticism considering of information technology. I am not defending this game's quality. It'due south just a uncomplicated outburst of anger."

These are some fireworks towards the GameSpot team and to exist fair, a rating of 1 out of 10 and a blank good corner is very offensive. Yous accept to give information technology to the developers who tried very hard merely to make the game, but to be hit back into their faces because of their inexperience is just not fair.
