Today's Topic – Prepare your self to not fall into the trap this reviewer did. All stories do not need to follow preconceived storylines
So I was around the webernets and heard about a review from polygon from a YouTuber LegacyKillaHD in a video called Polygon's Angry Far Cry 5 NOT PoIiticaI & About Trump America. It caused me to check out the review myself. Listen to Michael and Jeff as we talk about the review and the problems with not including nuance in your storytelling.
