MindsEye boss claims game's negative reaction ahead of release has been paid for in "concerted effort" against studio

Based on some comments in the article, it sounds like the guy is accusing Rockstar of financing a smear campaign. Maybe if they made a game that wasn't a straight GTA clone they wouldn't have to worry about something like that.

It's highly morally corrupt to just be "don't make a souls game then". Most games can be compared to another existing game franchise, it's called competition.

Not a great first impression when the first thing you ever see/hear about a game is the CEO of the company that made said game's conspiracy theory about why people are saying their game sucks.

The plot is basically current day American life. You don't need the game to play it.
...because life is "The Game".

There must be so much paid review manipulation out there but I don't know if it amounts to much. At the end of the day, if the game is good people will play it. I mean No Man's Sky came back from the entire world dumping on it from the stratosphere. Also, often overly negative reviews will actually make me more interested in a game, specially if all the negatives don't sound that bad "Horrible game! I didn't continuously die and how dare they allow the player to explore anywhere!".

Missed typing the a, typed r, then hit m instead of backspace.
I blame my lack and/or overuse of coffee.

While these are former Rockstar devs, so there is some incentive by Take Two to potentially take them down, what they have shown is... Not impressive yet
"Driving and shooting, the game."
Oh and you can make your own scripted driving and shooting levels
Granted you can say the same thing about GTA technically.... But the characters are not interesting and the gameplay looks... off. The ragdoll enemies and the lack of any gun recoil. Just comes off as steam asset flip quality
