"Get woke, go broke" is real. The Woke believe it is a moral duty to inject their politics into EVERYTHING so when a creative becomes woke they tend to put THE MESSAGE before everything else that the audience cares about such as, I don't know... Quality? Writing, Gameplay, Graphics, Mechanics, those are all second fiddle to THE MESSAGE, and it happens every time, because objectivity is evil to the woke, its a quality of "white supremacy". Everything woke turns to shit....
Matt McMuscles on Youtube had to play the entirety of GTA 3 with the dialogue sounding like it's stuck on slow motion. When the radio is playing it sounds like the Demon Narrator in Doom is speaking. It's hilarious, even restarting the game did nothing. How did Rockstar see this and go "yep, this is good to go"?
Agreed. I just can't play games like I used to, I have so little time and my attention span has been ruined by unlimited access to all Entertainment that I'll play any game for 2 or 3 hours and even if it's relatively short like Bioshock or Wolfenstein, I'll just move on.
But I started playing Demons Souls a while ago and it's kept me hooked like nothing else in a long time. Nothing keeps me invested like a From Software game. I can't wait until Elden Ring.
It hurts my eyes looking at the screen when it's raining and looking at it long enough gives me a headache. That's quite a feat, I haven't gotten a headache from playing or watching a game since 2002.
Todd knelt to the mob. Massive companies do that these days because they're raging pieces of shit and if they throw bones here and there to the most viscous and vocal, they think the most influential force not being against them means they'll get off easy.
Brilliant, the worst part of a consoles cycle is the first two years where a significant portion of games are cross gen and are held back because they have to be designed to play on the lowest common denominator.
Bethesda has previously said they wished they didn't release Inquisition on PS3/Xbox 360 and focused on what was then the next gen PS4/Xbox One because they felt held back a bit. This has me extra excited now.
There's been a lot of red flags with this one. I pray its as good as I hope it is, I want all games to be great, its just with the delays, internal problems and the gameplay looking a little under-budgeted, I just fear it's not going to be as good as it should be.
The hype around it is going to backfire. All its going to be is the same games, no upgrade to graphics, mechanics, voice acting, all its going to be is the same games with 4k resolution. After all this chatter, people are going to go ape when they see what it actually is.
It's funny that they thought that continuously leaning into social justice activism over the last several years would blind people to the fact that they're slimy, pervy assholes towards their employees. Not only did they lose fans like me that aren't interested in American coastal city politics, or the the crowd they pandered to, they lost everything. Good luck with sex deviancy lawsuits in the heart of California.
Big. Really big from what I saw. I looked at the map and thought “hmmm a bit small but it’ll do” and then realised I could zoom out and I hadn’t even looked at 20% of it.
Been playing it, good so far, my only quibble is that the big bad oppressive force is Fascism and not Communism. You’d think that with the game being based on Cuba you’d actually stick to the authoritarianism on the same side of the spectrum as Cuba and not authoritarianism on the other side, the side that’s been used in games over and over since the beginning of Shooters.
It’s nothing more than an ideological quibble though, to be expected since it’s from Ubisoft.
I won't be bothered if they have the same standards when they go to the Egyptian or Japanese Pantheon and there'll be a few blue eyed, blond haired Gods. But we know they won't, which is the real problem, the double standards. That ain't equality Mack, it's pandering.
