[Consol Games] "Woke" Reviewers Aren't Giving Your Game Mediocre Reviews

[FazzNoth]

The Days Gone creative director and writer John Garvin seems a little sore about the reception to his game.

Whatever you may have thought of Days Gone, it was certainly a video game. It loaded on a video game system and had many of the features most video games share. You pressed buttons when you were supposed to press buttons. There was a gruff man with a gruff past. There were zombies. Sometimes the game asked a question never before asked in any zombie story ever told: Are the humans the real bad guys here? Whoa.But did you know that Days Gone would’ve been Game of the Year across the board if it weren’t for an army of elite woke reviewers giving it 7/10 rather than 9/10? John Garvin, the director of the game, thought so. He said the game received poor reviews from - and I swear to god this is the funniest thing - “woke reviewers who couldn’t handle a gruff white biker looking at his date’s ass.”

 

Of course, Garvin doesn’t work for Bend Studio anymore. The world is too oppressive a place for a victim like him to stay there, making gems to be ignored by pigs with their woke college textbooks. Or something. Fortunately, after Garvin’s brilliant explanation, the game’s developer released a statement to the effect of, “Of course we don’t agree with this stupid idiot’s moronic opinion.”

The thing is - woke reviewers aren’t giving your game mediocre scores. Let’s break this down a bit.

First of all, complaining that game reviewers don’t like your game because it featured a “gruff white” guy with a girlfriend is so [CENSORED] funny. It’s some real “you hate me because I have a girlfriend in Canada I met at camp” shit. And this isn’t limited to a man so purely and traditionally masculine that his last name is “Garvin.” There’s this idea that a shadowy cabal of media reviewers (whether it be TV, film, comics, games) are deliberately ignoring the greatness in art when the main character is a white man. Nay, they are intentionally sinking that greatness! They are the real racists here - the ones who don’t give perfect scores!
