It came out during Gamergate and a lot of pro-GG people bought the game specifically because the journos hated it.

I thought it was panned because it was an attempt to sell a mediocre game with rampant edgelording?
REEEEEEEsetera probably bought the line about how the developers were LITERAL NAZIS and therefore it must be memory holed.
Also, didn't they memory hole Kingdom Come for insufficient POC?

They made a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/MichaelSamyn. It's pretty hilarious.

Aeana possesses negative amounts of self-awareness (or she's a filthy fucking liar, either way).

[Insert list of all the threads made up of nothing but whining about an individual Gaf/Era despises (ie, Tim Soret, Jontron, etc) here]
If I had to guess the arbitrary reason games like Kindgum Cummies and The Last Night are ok to discuss while those others aren't I'd say it's probably because the games themselves aren't "offensive" but the developer(s) are. Technically they never even talk about the games since any thread about them is dedicated to just reeing at Vavra/Soret/whoever rather than any actual discussion of their products (aside from calling it shit).

Got it during a sale, first few levels are not bad, but i ran into a bug in 3 or 4. Just put on Linkin Park and some Evanescence on full blast while you play it.

I dunno, the Tommy Wiseau mod for it was one of the funniest goddamned things I'd ever played:

I happen to have an image that perfectly describes their mentality:
Basically, they are so narcissistic and close minded that they cannot in any way relate or empathize with any other person that is not from their own circle or shares their sexuality or does not think exactly like them. When a normal person plays as a character that is not of their own gender or skin color, they can at least feel or grow some basic connection with it, these people can't.

I wonder how they would react to a Captain Novolin style game but instead of diabetes it's transexuality.

Well, that improves the game significantly.
I never got worked up over Hatred. How did I put it? 'Oh, hey remember back when this was called Postal?'. Pfft.

I wonder if this will change if HunieDev decides to keep the 'trap' character romance required to 100% the upcoming Huniepop 2. Also gal gun is banned but not gal gun 2?

Apparently, he decided to give the players the possibility to choose her gender (100% female or tranny) but for the screeching side giving people a choice and try to make everyone happy is a bad thing.
Also, it seems that there are some people among the crowd who wanted a 100% male character with feminine looks (trap) instead of a tranny.

I'm surprised the list isn't longer. I'd have guessed A Hat In Time would've been on the list.
Didn't Twitch ban all the games by a dev that makes "gay games" like Rinse and Repeat? Not very inclusive of them.
Not all games magazines were Game Informer levels of corrupt. They ultimately had to sell magazines at the end of the day. No one was going to pay the asking price for games magazines if they thought they were corrupt. So in a way, you could argue payola had to be infrequent enough that readers could write it off as a difference of opinion. Having to actually buy a magazine also meant that they weren't completely in the pocket of advertisers.

You're referring to Sunset, the game in which you play a black housekeeper taking care of the apartment of some rich fucker while a vastly more interesting story is going on around you that you have no meaningful involvement in. While there's many jokes you can make about the game, Bro Team Pill will synopse it for me beautifully:
What's amazing about this title is that it officially marks the end of the Indie Dev Astroturf era on Steam, because this specific title was the first one released after Steam's refund policy. Since Sunset is really fucking short, like all of Tale of Tales games, the change in policy meant this fucking game got exactly what it deserved.
You also left out the best part: Namely, the dev's reactions to his game bombing:
Tale of Tales had a complete meltdown on Twitter in which they blamed gamers for not buying his shitty walking simulator.
I actually found a few old issues of mid-to-late 90s issues of GamePro the other day. I was actually impressed by how, for the most part, the reviews were largely impartial. There were fuck-ups here and there, but nothing like the shameless corporate dicksucking we have today. Games that were candy-coated shit got called out on it, and most of the time analysis pieces were surprisingly spot-on. A lot of the tips were genuinely good, coming from people who actually knew their shit and who had clearly played the fucking game to completion. They were by no means perfect, or even particularly great, but the difference between then and now is night and day.

I apologize for being :late::late: with this, and I know it wasn't even said as a post here on the farms, but DAMN if "Polly will either have a dick or she won't." Isn't random.txt material.

The Huniepop people should add the trans character to the game, but then get someone like [url=https://youtu.be/EGfkQ1AgKpI?t=7s]Tommy Lister[/URL] or Kevin Conroy to do the voice lines for said character.
And then work in a 'did you just assume my gender?' line.

It helped that there wasn't an indie scene to speak of, such that all games coming out were from serious studios putting out serious effort games so the quality was usually higher than it is today. On the other hand, as you say, game journos actually played the games to completion back then and got good/wrote guides for some of the companion mags or strategy guides. I miss the 80's & 90's era publications, before the internet really ruined it.
