I really loved it, and I'm not a big story-game person.

I think it's a "country/region capital" thing. The more central a city is to the management of an area, the more insufferable the people it produces are.

You can use this logic for any kind of review just the same

Edit: I know there is a lot of typos/mistakes... too lazy to correct them

French person talking, i think the hate for french people is very occidental. Japanese for example loves the french culture and they have a lot of restaurants/stores trying to serve french food or clothes with french words on them adapted to japanese standards.

For the hate i think it has multiple factors:

For america it is the Marechal Petain surrendering to the nazis during ww2, and our refusal to invade irak. Making us "surrender monkeys", which is very funny when you look at france war history.

For england: it is the victory of the hundred years war and the countless other wars we had with them.

Germany has always been our ennemy since the fall of the roman empire.

For Africa and particularly algeria and congo: it is the severe repression against insurgencies in our colonies, government manipulation, our implication in salvery, robbery of natural ressources and cultural assets, and forced conversion to christianity/"good maners" of indigenous populations, all leading to the rise of multiple ultra radicalized groups and terrorism.

So for every country we are either the bastards who sold themselves to the nazis or the bloodthirsty war criminals who are here only to kill, rape, and steal.

Added the fact that Paris is one of the most visited cities in the world making it also one of france's rudest and unwelcoming cities for tourists, And the cultural differences we have with english speaking countries in terms of politeness/expected behaviour, and in the way we are choosing friends/partners. Makes us the perfect hate target.

But i think if you visit France and go to more remote places and genuinely try to interract with people/try to speak french (altough we will immediatly switch to english, we like when you try and it is seen as a sign of respect) you can find very warm welcoming people. Just dont expect to become BFF immediatly or feeling as part of the family, it does not work like that, and it will be very akward for everyone.

Anti-French sentiment is new to USA from the 20th century, portraying the French as weak and needing rescue was a popular approach for those against war in Europe.

Historically France has been one of the best of friends to the USA.

Hating the French has typically been a European thing (and very English) because of the whole France dominating Europe time and again over the millennia.

There are historical anti-French sentiments, but I honestly don't think this is related to them much. I think it's just a meme gen Z decided to run with because they thought it was funny. Like the birds aren't real thing.

Dates from when France refused to be complicit in invading Iraq in 2003. A big anti-french movement was pushed by American conservatives then, and it just became an internet thing afterwards.

However the French are not really liked outside due to French tourists being arrogant and always saying things (usually food) are better in France.

These sorts of reviews hardly ever get seen, they get pushed down by well rated reviews. This game has over 100,803 reviews.

As someone who's does work that get app reviews, luckily I haven't had to deal with joke reviews, but it really sucks when there's some very temporary problem for a day or two, and suddenly you start getting a bunch of 'it used to be good but xyz is broken' reviews that never go away because when its fixed, they never come back to update it.

Please be a responsible reviewer and if its something temporary, update your review! Ive even replied and let them know its fixed and it stays forever.
