But that is more about the reviewer values than about publisher/developer forcing reviewers.

A reviewer giving spoilers, key entry plots, etc will eventually be ignored or not have a job at all.

Etiquette and ethics are key values your build over your life… not something forced upon you.

But of course that is my opinion only.
So no review guidance whatsoever? A free for all? I’m all for free speech etc. but it’s way too optimistic thinking just putting it out there won’t result in a shambles and minefield of spoilers.

Console warriors using politics to spread hate…. I thought I’ve seen it all in these spaces but damn lol that’s new.

I just wish we could have one major AAA release without this sort of lame conversation always propping up. We talk less about the game and more about everything surrounding it, it’s quite boring.

Publisher and dev sends out disclaimer to keep criticisms of the game strictly about the game.

Seems reasonable. All those items mentioned don’t apply in any form. You’d have to grasp at straws and be a big time nutcase to make accusations at lack of diversity etc… you play as f***ing monkey dude.

The game itself isn’t making statements on any of this stuff right? So is this just activist reviewers mad they can’t politicize a game and get free swag?

Go buy it then and write whatever nonsense you want about it.


A good contingent of reviewers do that “job” for free games only. Fuck em they’re no different than beggars with their hands out.

Well it tuned fake news… there is no review guidance like it should be.

I understand your point… some reviewers end giving some spoilers (it is more common in video reviews than text reviews) but even without these guidance I didn’t saw any type of major spoilers in reviews… so I don’t see the point to have guidance for something that already works fine.

Remember big spoiler cases happened with users get the hands in the game way before launch than reviewers.

Not sure about this date embargo is true.

The embargo was always set to Aug 17… it was know for some time already.

Said that it was weird to China had a difference embargo date.

And just an update o the guidelines…

It was for influencers and content creator.
Reviewers never got any guideline like it should be.

His article titles doesn’t tell the whole truth.

This email was not sent to journalists, as some of them have said it’s fake based on that, but it was for creators only. These guidelines may also not have made it to all creators, or were sent out merely from requests for codes from those creators. There is no NDA required to accept the code.

No reviewer received any type of guidelines.
Seems like some (not all) content creator got the email.

I still believe not even content creator should receive that type of email.
But the story has nothing to do with the reviewers like the narrative some guys are trying to create.

Paul Tassi and the Xbox shills are trying to cancel this game because it's not on Xbox, that's the real reason.

Western media just found whatever they could find to cause controversy like they did with Stellar Blade and all the other PS5 exclusives that were released recently amidst negative coverage (FF16, FF7R, Rise of the Ronin, Concord).

Maybe....but the studio is really weird.

in a recruitment campaign in 2015, the studio used explicit graphics and suggestive text in some of its job advertisements. “In addition to hookup buddies, we promise to provide more thoughtful services,” the company wrote in a post boasting free snacks in the office.

I mean, is it too much to ask for people to read the article?
I know, the answer is yes in the current tiktok attention span current timeline.

I'm depressed.

There's no controversy if the studio doesn't send set a list of mostly unnecessary guidelines like this to (some?) content creators. This is just the Streisand effect in action.
It's a self-own.

Yeah the Studio lead as well as the Art Director are behaving less like professional and more like what you'd find weirdos online in China say about women on some of the gaming forums(weibo).
And I'm being generous here, some of the things said/written is upper echelon incel logic.

Those pictures are funny but they have nothing to do with Wukong.

Digging up 10 years old stuff is the usual tactic when the angry mob wants to cancel something with fake drama. I'm sure they're real angry about these cartoons from 2015 🙄
