Truth Hurts: Why Trolls Prefer Fictional Fairy Tales

Woke IGN Reporter RAGE QUITS Twitter After Failing to Cancel Black Myth: Wukong! Rebecca Valentine, the IGN reporter who smeared the developers of Black Myth: Wukong from Game Science, has officially run for cover. She’s now locked her account on X, protected her posts, and updated her bio to indicate she’s no longer using the platform. And yet, the truth of her smear campaign and the massive success of Black Myth: Wukong stand in stark contrast to her desperate retreat.

Valentine’s hasty exit from X comes right after Black Myth: Wukong smashed records with 2.2 million concurrent players, making it the second most-played game on Steam of all time. It’s a resounding success that flies in the face of Valentine’s baseless accusations. As of now, 1.8 million players are still diving into the game, which has garnered overwhelmingly positive reviews—around 97%—on Steam. It’s clear that players aren’t just buying the game; they’re loving it.

Valentine, along with her colleague Khee Hoon Chan, tried to tarnish the developers back in November 2023 by accusing them of sexism and misogyny. They reported that several posts surfaced from Chinese social media, alleging inappropriate behavior within Game Science. However, the article lacked concrete evidence and was filled with dubious translations that exaggerated the situation. For example, one of the mistranslations included a social media post from the co-founder Fang, which Valentine twisted into a grotesque narrative. The reality? It was a common idiom in Chinese, completely misinterpreted to fit a sensationalist agenda.

Despite the outcry from the Chinese gaming community, Game Science chose to focus on their work and let their game speak for itself—a strategy that has clearly paid off. Valentine’s attempts to shame the developers for their past mistakes, which they’ve since learned from, only highlight her agenda-driven reporting. Even when faced with overwhelming criticism from both the Chinese and international communities, Valentine continued to push her narrative, completely disregarding the truth.

In the end, Black Myth: Wukong not only weathered the storm of controversy but emerged victorious, proving that talent and dedication triumph over smear tactics. Valentine’s retreat from X, locking her account and blocking countless critics, is nothing more than a desperate attempt to avoid accountability for her own actions.

Let’s not forget: she even tried to claim that the absence of female characters in the demo was a sign of sexism, conveniently ignoring the fact that female characters were shown in trailers and confirmed for the final game. Her statements are not only disingenuous but outright ridiculous.

As Black Myth: Wukong continues to dominate, Valentine’s influence wanes. This isn’t just a victory for Game Science; it’s a victory for gamers and developers who refuse to bow to false narratives.

Ubisoft’s latest disaster, 'Star Wars Outlaws,' is already getting buried under a pile of hate. Ubisoft and IGN gave us 10 minutes of gameplay footage, and wow, what a trainwreck! Players are roasting it, calling the graphics trash and the AI laughable. The video is sitting at over 70,000 dislikes, with comments like "IGN single-handedly saving us all money." The game looks so bad, people are outright canceling their pre-orders.

Even during Ubisoft's Q1 sales report, an investor questioned their delusional narrative of "positive feedback." Ubisoft’s CEO Yves Guillemot insists the game is "high quality," but we all know better. The company’s stock is plummeting, down 36% this year alone, proving that gamers aren’t buying their excuses. Get ready for one of the biggest financial flops in gaming history. Sorry Ubisoft, but this is a disaster of galactic proportions.

First off, the visuals. For a game set in such a rich and vibrant universe, the graphics shown in this IGN exclusive are a huge letdown. The environments look bland and lifeless, lacking the immersive detail we've come to expect from a Star Wars game. And don't even get me started on the character models – they look like they belong in a game from a decade ago, not a next-gen title.

But it doesn't stop there. The gameplay mechanics seem incredibly uninspired. We've seen the same old run-and-gun style in countless other games, and Star Wars Outlaws doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table. The clunky animations and awkward controls only add to the frustration, making it hard to get excited about playing this game.

What's even more disappointing is the lack of originality in the story elements presented. The Star Wars universe is vast, with endless possibilities for unique and engaging narratives, but Star Wars Outlaws feels like a recycled mishmash of tropes we've seen before. There's nothing here that screams "fresh" or "innovative."

Fans are furious. Social media platforms are flooded with negative comments, memes, and videos tearing the game apart. Reddit threads and Twitter discussions are brimming with disappointed fans expressing their dismay and frustration. The backlash is immense, with many feeling that Ubisoft has let them down once again.

Join me as I play the demo of Princess Peach: Showtime for the Nintendo Switch! This game isn't your typical Super Mario adventure—it's a unique blend of action and platforming with a stage play aesthetic. While it draws inspiration from Mario games, it offers a fresh experience with its own twists.

Princess Peach: Showtime features platforming, boss fights, hidden areas, and collectibles. The game's 2.5D approach allows for movement in multiple directions, adding depth to the gameplay. The stage play aesthetic is charming, with sets that rotate, objects that lower from the ceiling, and an unseen audience that cheers you on.

Unlike traditional Mario games, Princess Peach: Showtime plays more like an action game with platforming elements. It's simple to control, with a focus on fun rather than complex combos. However, mastering the game and uncovering all its secrets will require skill and dedication.

One of the game's highlights is Peach's transformations, which not only change her abilities but also alter the entire stage around her. Each transformation brings a unique theme to the gameplay, making every level feel fresh and exciting.

Overall, Princess Peach: Showtime is a delightful and engaging game that offers a unique take on the platforming genre. Whether you're a fan of Mario games or looking for something new, this demo is definitely worth a try!

Following some leaks, Ubisoft officially announces Assassin's Creed Mirage and confirms when it will get its full reveal. Earlier today, the new Assassin's Creed game leaked online, revealing its title to be Assassin's Creed Mirage, showing some images, and confirming its pre-order bonuses. Instead of ignoring the leaks like most companies would, Ubisoft has decided to get ahead of things and officially announce Assassin's Creed Mirage.
