Horizon Forbidden West: babies bombing

Horizon Forbidden West landed on PS4 and PS5 on 18 February to much critical acclaim. It’s currently sitting on 88% on Metacritic and rightly so. It’s stunning. Probably the best looking game on the Playstation 4. That’s to be expected as Horizon: Zero Dawn is also beautiful. Oh, and was also critically acclaimed. One thing you can say though, is that it’s quite a derivative game. It borrows from many other games, but polishes that up very well. Much like what Ghost of Tsushima did.

Nevertheless, we have baby bombers (no, not boomers) out there who get upset when a game is universally loved because INTERNET.

I am sure there are countless reasons why. I suspect that many are related to the fact that the review bombers couldn’t pull a toilet chain, let alone a woman. So the INCELS hate on a game with a woman lead.

I suspect though that most of those ‘reviewers’ (they aren’t reviewers any more than I am a steak and kidney pie) are from the ‘contrary’ crowd though. You know the type, the ones who hate on anything that is loved by a large majority. They then shoehorn in their own politics to sound smart. I find it hysterical to be honest. Firstly because these sad and probably riddle with fleas people haven’t even played the game. But they review it… While saying ‘I hate it!’ Then why did you play it for 40 hours matey? No? Oh, you HAVEN’T actually played it? Shame shame.

Some of the best comments I’ve seen on Metacritic are below.

Here’s a killer.

The tell here with ‘Shadow of a braincell’ is the mentioning of SONY. If you don’t like SONY RPGs, why the f*ck did you buy it? Oh, yes. You didn’t. Next.

This block of dumb has just pointed out that if you are not a fanboy you shouldn’t buy it. But it decries it’s actually did buy it? No mate. Not one of your imaginary friends, or the monster under your bed, believes you.

But wait, there is more!

Imagine being so pathetic and delusional that you troll Metacritic and give a game a 1 with a name like FFFFFAling? More like FFFFFuckingsad. The funniest part here, I mean apart from the crap grammar, is that this troll’s balls more than likely hadn’t dropped by 2010.

Just one more, pretty please?

This is gold. This genius goes from ‘I don’t care about rating systems’ to ‘but 88 isn’t that high’ (it’s literally 12 away from 100, you moron) to ‘I’m giving it a 0’. Well, which one is it? Do you care about rating systems, you’ve just rated the game, or not? And your point ‘why is this game so hyped’ could probably be answered if… Oh I don’t now, you played the fuc*ing game?

Horizon Forbidden West is currently on 88% on Metacritic, but the babies might push that down.

Keep on making the internet the magical place it is lads! We need a good giggle in an otherwise crazy world.
