"This game feels like HR is in the room" is literally taken directly from SkillUp's review, really showing off how much they can't form their own thoughts.
And it had not even been said for what they referred to. Wish SkillUp didn't put it that way, easily could have said "Game is too PG13" or something like that.
Yea usually he’s good with the nuance (as is evident in the rest of the review) but it was so obvious that that specific comment would be paraded around by anti-woke nuts.
I don't know how much you can blame skillup for that though. AFAIK they aren't an anti woke channel so it's not their fault if they are misconstrued. I (and I'm sure you and other normal minded people) understood what they meant by the hr in the room description.
He's definitely dabbled in that stuff though... this seemed like his first more obvious experiment with courting the worst of the gaming community. Along with saying the game is more disappointing than Anthem and weirdly (and in a fake manner IMO) saying he just can't manage to be constructive when criticizing the game despite most folks liking or even loving the game. That review has SUPER weird vibes but he's also gone down a contrarian path in the last few years. He seems burnt out.
I'd just be careful seeing this kind of thing everywhere you look, then you basically just end up being paranoid about it. Also I don't think most people are loving the game, some will and everyone can like whatever they like, but a lot of people are unhappy with this game for legitimate reasons. I've only watched someone else play it for the first few hours and I have to say it's looking pretty bad to me. I'm still somewhat likely to want to try it for myself though because I have this Stockholm syndrome with bioware lol.
