澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Horizon Forbidden West's d🎃evs found it "pretty easy to ignore" the backlash against Aloꦬy's kiss with Seyka in Burning Shores.

April saw the Burning Shores DLC finally launch for Horizon Forbidden West, and towards the end of the expansion, the player can have Aloy share an optional kiss with companion Seyka. While 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:some were overjoyed with the moment, others took to review aggregate site Metacritic to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:review bomb the DLC

in an interview.

"But for people who didn’t play the game, or who are just trying to be negative online, we find that pretty easy to ignore," Kitain continued. It's a relief that the vocal  minority isn't taking a 🎶toll on the development team at Guerrilla Games.

"We love it when they have constructive feedback about this or that," said narrative lead Ben McCraw of fan feedback. "And we’re perfectly happy when they say they don&r🌳squo;t like this or that, with regard to virtually any⛄ aspect of the game that they’ve really thought about."

"But yeah, whe𒁃n there's just this kind of blatant negativity, I personally find it pretty easy to just compartmentalise and realise that this is a mindset I can never really jive with, and that sort of thing," the narrative lead on Horizon Forbidden West continued.

Overall though, McCraw says Guerrilla is "enormously pleased with the reaction." The developer explains the studio worries over every little detail when crafting a brand nಌew story, and to see a overall positive reaction to the finished product is a nice end result.

In the aftermath of the review bombing, Metacritic promised stricter moderation for user rev🌠iews, to prevent review bombing over non-issues in the future. Elsewhere, Guerrilla has confirmed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Aloy's adventures will continue as they look towards the next game in t♑he Horizon series.
