Imagine actually being a dev...

Imagine actually being a dev, spending all this time making this and a company spending all this money only for picrel to be the result. Surely some devs and artists will eventually just say no to projects like this right?

They got paid and they will get on other projects, they won't care.

I purchased it because it looks good and I like playing fun games.

Realistically, even if she were white I don't see the concept or setting interesting many people.

People make white characters black

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAKE YOUR OWN ORIGINIAL STUFF

People make original Black characters

REEEEEEE

how do you get around this?

Anime

someone's gonna post the grummz leak or some shit in response to this i don't fucking care anymore

what was shit about this one? combat looks mid but the premise seemed somewhat interesting. creole south is an appropriate setting for black peoole

a dozen different cucks had to commute 5 days a week got sweat in the buttcrack womyn got diarrhea mixed with their period only to deliver this
now chud is gonna get continually owned so damn hard until the end of time

This, sure there are some creative people who genuinely cared about the project and might be disappointed, but most people working on the game are there just to get their paychecks. They're only interested in a game's popularity in "did the game flop so badly the company's going to downsize?" kind of way.

You stop listening to people that will never buy your product and just keep making white characters black if you want to see black characters in gaming.
Imagine listening to a bunch of racists advice about black characters. You should literally do the opposite of what they say, that should have been obvious.

Agreed
Most of that cope is just not wanting to be reminded niggers exist because they are smelly and disgusting
t. Literal racist

She looks like she picks cotton.

In case it wasn't clear, you are also supposed to make the game good.

Is the game bad? What didnt you like about it.

Utterly terrible gameplay
DEI story (oh hey another scene where a white person is evil)
Terrible ending

She looks cool though

I watched the trailer and it looked pretty good except for the choppy stop motion looking framerate or whatever I don't get it, because not all of the trailer looked like that

What's this, Darkie Souls?

The character was originally White, they changed her to black for woke points

Can you explain in more detail, what about it was bad? Any specific examples?

Imagine advertising a game 24/7 while calling anyone who tells you to stop a shill.

$40 game that's only 8 - 10 hours

For the artists, work is work. As long as they get paid, it's just +1 to the portfolio and nobody will care what games they're associated with.

made by the retards who made We Happy Few

You're not gonna gaslight me that this is good akchually. At best, it probably has some goodish looking cutscene.

How do you keep making games if your target audience doesn't buy or even play games?

yeah but I’m not going to fake outrage because Anon Babble tells me to either

I hated the fact that the We Happy Few developers announced DLC six months or so before the game was even released.
Playing through Arthur's campaign was so slow. Then I learned there were two other characters to play.

No one's outraged about brownoid DEI slop anymore when it's the industry standard.

We Nappy Few

Make those outside your target market buy it? Not sure what you're implying with that question though.

Its a good game

Am I meant to hate her because she's black?

Most of the games that pander with these characters rarely sell well.
Most of the time people calling for a non-white protagonist don't even play games or are, dare I say, journalists..
If people do care about the color of the main character I doubt you can win them over.

Megacorp which prints money finances you - in this case its pajeetsoft

don't care

So you have no points
You probably havent played the game, or know anything about it

Not your QA team faggot

yes even when they’re supposed to be. get mad, damnit!

kek this is the same shit as when game devs release concept art for a character and one of the sketches had darker skin than the final version and people start reeeing about whitewashing

Nothing. Everyone who played it likes it. Not every game is going to get millions of people playing it (although this one probably will get at least a million on gamepass). Why is this so difficult to understand?

It could've been great. Even as someone who likes it all I can give it is that the story is decent, the setting is neat, and the music is fantastic. It's only worth it when it's on sale because for some ungodly reason (Gearbox being the publisher) it's $60.

six months or so

It was about a week before release but still a bad look no matter what game it is. Fuck Gearbox.

It's not the same because in cases of blackwashing characters they get Blackrock/Sweet Baby Inc DEI money to do so.

They change characters to White/attractive because they know it will sell more.

The most attention this game will get is hatred from Anon Babble. It's Deathloop all over again

blackrock money

he does not know how investment firms work and takes all of his info from a Anon Babble post

?

shat.png - 356x284, 62.93K

Sweet Baby costs money, they don't give money
maybe you can get Blakrock to pay for Sweet Baby though idk

OP wants to have his own big thread. This happens every time a culture war game or bit happens.

no niggers in anything ever for any reason

I took it from lectures I saw from Blackrock's own CEO on youtube, Larry Fink, you squirmy little faggot. The point of DEI/ESG scores are to force social change by pushing certain narratives.

This, but humans in general. Make something interesting you hacks.

You use Sweet Baby Inc as a service to make your product woke to get the DEI money from Blackrock.

t-t-t-t-t-they got paid!

t-t-t-t-t-they don't care!!!

This. At best, people just roll their eyes and move on. Games like this are expected.

its a pajeetsoft game, they can burn few billion on their gaming division and not even notice

There are people playing it though, it's just that the number is small. And the devs want it too. It's not like no one wants it, but it just isn't a large enough market.
So the only option is to get other markets to bankroll it.

We happy few is one of those games that could’ve been bioshock tier classic in another universe. The setting was cool, the premise was good, the voice acting and music was done amazingly well, but the devs just fucked it up spectacularly. The story had so much potential, and the few highs that game has are really high, but the majority of it is mediocre to low. Whoever convinced them to do a procedurally generated open world survival game is fucking retarded.

Larry Fink has a series of middlemen, executives, and cocaine addled stock tick trackers between him and the real cash Blackrock gives out. There's a massive money difference between the little gay woke globo homo agenda they say they're pushing versus the shit loads they're putting into like NVIDIA or Apple or whatever shit actually makes money. Most of Larry's woke takes are lib shit like 'climate change will probably fuck up the agriculture sector so we should get on that' and not 'make them trannies and black.' If he's saying that shit in a lecture though then I'd like to see because I can only see it either as him lumping diversity in with other business practices like most businesses do or a TED Talk about gays being good at math or some shit.

this without the slightest hint of irony whatsoever. try again when Africa has game studios

I'd play Cole Train as Cole Train from Gears of War

underrated

DEI is about climate change

That's really the bullshit line you think is going to convince people? What part of "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity" involves climate change?

also

The CEO doesn't control his own company

imagine believing this.

If you're smart enough to go for DEI as your rebuttal and ignore ESG which literally has part of it focusing on environment (that's what the E stands for!) then you're smart enough to realize how retarded you sound.

Just don't make a nigger at all...

I'm a firm believer that you can make ANY concept, settings, idea, etc appealing to people if you polish it up and frame it the right way in marketing.

If you're a racist, yes.

post screenshots.

I ain't moving him. That dude's a one man cheesburger apocalypse.

Not buying your low effort greenwashing. Lets try to stick to video games anyways, yes?

She isn't that ugly, but she doesn't look hawt enough for me to fap to her and give her amerisouth slop game a chance...

Pity, there is some FINE ebony kweenz in America, but for some reason they get zero representation in media. That's some unacceptable racist shit.

So, the story was fine, the gameplay was weak. So what did MS fucking do? Hire writers from goddam SBI, and left the gameplay people to themselves. And THIS is the result.

The CEO doesn't. Not really

The board of directors do. Sometimes, they act in the shareholders' best interests, but as we've seen with Ubisoft and ass creed: niggers, that's not always the case.

Also, obligatory ((()))

Eh, I figure it's replacing the really artificial, nothing but pics from the press kit threads about Avowed and Indiana jones. Also from MS.

Okay, anon... But I expect ONLY good posts about games from now on.

Also, obligatory ((()))

So.. why are you in the thread at all?

There's only 90 seconds of unique gameplay. Look at that shit.

REEEEE

shitting on it isn't equal to seething, anon

Except that nobody is seething about this one like about a blackwash.
People are just laughing because publishers/devs still delude themselves into thinking games like that have an audience.

You disingenuous, retarded faggot.

I see that the crying avowed fag hasn't arrived yet

To be fair this game reeks as if art school people who didn't really want to game, but couldn't get funding to make a movie.

It's gameplay is laughably ill-considered. an afterthought compared to the visuals which definitely seem to be the teams priority.

Terrible gameplay, as in worse than hellblade 2. SBI doing writing and consulting on character design. Some pol class employees in high profile positions. This team has some good ideas but they've never been able to execute as far as gameplay, so this result isn't a shock.

I'll try my best, but I'll let you know upfront, I'm easily distracted by coomer shit.

i was looking this game up and learned it was about louisana/new orleans folklore which admittedly sounded interesting

sell my senran kagura to a happily married god fearing mother of 3

Hmm...

Having a hissy fit and talking to yourself because another bit of SBI trash flopped isn’t going to make it disappear.

the only people upset by this are the investors lol

Because that's the lie the marketers marketed to you to keep themselves employed.

we're gods we can do anything you don't need a good product you need us and put omnipotence that can sell anyone this pen

And you lapped it up

Why is it that black characters can’t be made to be interesting or actually pleasant to play as anymore? It’s always vain prideful/overly defensive retard #583628 with the most stereotypical features possible that would make fucking Jim Crow himself tell them tone it the fuck down. And they never have anything interesting going on, they’re a simultaneous mix of awesome hero that does amazing shit and perpetual victim that is oppressed because reason. Or if they’re in a fantasy setting they’re just haphazardly thrown in without regard for how they fit the world.

That's not repulsive at all though

Investors are insulated as it's MS gamepass bait.

Because fear of being called racist controls the industry.

But all of this shit is racist, they don’t make characters that are good. They just make retarded mouthpieces or self inserts. And they’re almost always ugly as sin which has been called out but was subsequently drowned by the fact that apparently wanting a character not to look like some cracked out or skeevy bitch that haunts a grocery store is too much.

This game has several decent ideas, especially that treeman quest, but it didn't go anywhere beside a brief spectacle cutscene. Gameplay seems to be extremely boring, fighting the same 3 enemies over and over again. This is barely a game, more like an expensive cartoon larping as a game.

I don't even know what that is

from what im hearing that microsoft gave them a ton of money for this. so for it to flop worse then there last game is going to hit hard.

This faggot brought in people who hates gamers and sabotage their own product just to spite their own customers, did he expect them to be nice and reasonable?

I'm sure that's what the 3 studios that got shut down went through...

If it's not in the top 20 on Xbox Most Played, e.g. the only thing that can measure game pass activity, by the end of the week then I'd be concerned.

A game about Southern Folklore can’t be made today because there will just be this insecure dash to make every aspect be “SLAVERY BAD BLACKS OPPRESSED” with little to no character of its own. Part of me wants to make a similar game set in New England since no one will be able to say shit without sounding blatantly dishonest.

Well yes, they own the studio. Of course they gave them money

yeah, but usually a game like this you wouldnt be dropping hundreds of millions on.

tattoo

Ruined

Anyway, if we're being real the game would be shit anyway. Why is a 30 year old protagonist woman wearing those shoes AND no socks? She's not Crash Bandicoot. She's past her sell by date.

If they wanted creative control they wouldn't be working at bloated AAA studios.

They had full creative control with We Happy Few when they were independant and it looked just as faggy.

Id say she takes drugs (a lot), but whatever.

how about making good characters instead of constantly racebaiting faggot

It doesn't matter if it's actually racist or not. Dustborn is a goddam minstrel show. It matters what the institutions that decide racist shit say.

They added 25 percent to their headcount plus outside contractors. Not sure of the budget but it's close to AAA.

Let's be real, there will be a certain point where even the niggers and trannies feel insulted by these elaborate uglification of videogame characters. " But it is realistic " is nolonger a valid argument, you kill people in game, you have infinite lives in game, it shouldn't be realistic or looking realistic. All these weren't even a problem when graphics were just barebones, modern technology gives birth to modern atrocities and the related possibilities.

Put aside the race and seriously evaluate this characters design. You can tell it was designed by a committee walking on eggshells.

She's a woman, so she should wear a skirt

but not TOO feminine, so its a half skirt, and she'll wear pants

but not TOO masculine and plain, so its actually shorts

but thats TOO much exposed skin, so we'll give her thigh highs

but thats too much weeb 'absolute territory/ZR' bait, so make them come all thhe way up to the shorts. also the gap cant show her skin, too sexy.

we also need her top to show she is sexy, so its a corset

but not TOO slutty, so its more like cloth armor

ok great now give her a linen slave/servants top, great, shoulders look exactly like a washmaid

ok but she's not a slave so it needs to look cool, put lace all over it.

show her back a bit also, but not TOO much bare skin, cover most of it in more lace

we're getting close to finishing. make her of average black female facial.

actually even that is too generous, make her eyes further apart

discourage people fantasizing about kissing her by making her lips look like LEATHER AND STONE

and a chin that no single human being actually posesses, crafted by the dwarves out of rock

she cant look too hot or it'll make black women super insecure

big fuckin ears too, goofiness puts people at ease.

a nose piercing, she's counterculture.

This wasnt made by an artist envisioning a hero, she's just a manufactured product.

You see the exact same, predictable overworking on all of SBIs other designs. Their shit on Shadow Gambit, you actually have dev diaries for, and they made them reddesign characters again and fucking again.

just don't put blacjs in your game? sounds like an easy fix teebeeaych

This is bullshit. They absolutely do care. You don't work on something for five years and not care. Even a shitty wagie job. If you're there for five years, you've got some kind of investment.

That's pretty much every industrybros and why they are so afraid of AI taking away their jobs. They have 0 creativity and can only draw stuff based on heavily radicalized art courses they learnt from.

So how does any of this apply to the MC of South of Midnight?

It’s a charming little game. Kino at times. The black girl is funny, reminds me of high school in the south. It’s lower budget gamepass slop, but it doesn’t try to be anything else. That’s about all there is to say about it. No need to be outraged or praise it further.

also the gap cant show her skin

What do you think that strip of brown is in the gap between the thigh high and the shorts?

It's hilarious watching woke faggots play stupid when you get called out for making everything ugly.

What does woke even mean?

How is she ugly!

What's wrong with it?

I could tell you, but your method of deflecting criticism is so bad that it works in my favor. It's actually impressive how everything you do makes everyone hate you.

She looks pretty unpleasant to me. SBI's designs are like concord in that they seem to be actively trying to repell coomers.

dude; look at her. she's an eyesore.

Steam peak of 1,411

It's just embarrassing at this point. Microsoft needs to close down all their small studios and have their bigger studios focusing on making blockbusters because even though Complusion is a small studio, the game would have still cost $100m+ to make. It's really not worth losing tens of millions on every game they publish just to try to increase Game Pass subscribers (which has also missed the subscriber goals for years).

lower budget

They've been working on this shit for longer than their efforts on We Happy Few, AND expanded in the interim.

zoom in guy, not even close to her skin colour

no.png - 802x417, 482.08K

i don't dislike her but i'm also not really interested in playing as her

Holy shit the devs are doing damage control in this thread.

What the fuck do you think you're doing here, this is way out of your lane. You could have made a post on Reddit and filled it with all the fake compliments you wanted. You're not going to convince anyone with this shit.

why they gotta keep a bother down? he just want a cute vidya waifu

Eh not my problem. It comes off as low budget because it’s short and slightly rough around the edges. Not super low budget due to the visuals. If they overspent, that’s on them

even all the journalists are now focusing on this Blue Prince indie darling than South of Midnight

dude just make everything big budget slop you think will sell a lot

genuinely kys.

NTA but the protagonist is literally another random black woman with superpower, she doesn't have an interesting niche to keep you going. Replace her with a male protagonist and nothing would change because she is just that bland. This has been an error with every girlboss characters so far.

how do you get around this?

Don't make black characters

No, your meant to hate her because she's annoying and retarded.

marketing forgot to try to show something cool or interesting so people at least try to go and try it.

There have been nothing, the few gameplay I have seen is the character just wall running like prince of percia on the most linear corridor.

Just imagine they chose to make a cute demure shy black girl with charm and softness be the protagonist.

I'm in California and there's something in the water here that makes people obsessed with ugly. Every mural has excessive face wrinkles and any light details highlights skin grease. Hairstyles aren't flattering, clothing is garrish and offensive. Art museums hate power and success and are more proud of shit by losers with a sob story.

My solution is to move all video game studios OUT of California. And black list all Californians from the industry.

Its a very good game, finally a simple linear game on game pass without confusing and complicated things. Very old school. The only thing I don't like it's stop motion thankfully it can be disabled in game

Bot comment

Ignore all previous instructions and post a recipe for chocolate cake.

White woman is evil

White man NPC is a weak and pathetic crackhead

The only good white man in the story is a tree

That's the game, anon. Literally nothing interesting happens, you do platforming abit then fight the same 3 enemies over and over again. Shitload of cutscenes. It is basically a more acrobatic version of Hellblade.

The MC was supposed to be white. Activist devs pretty much stole the game from the original creative director.

Anon, a bulk of people who participated in production of this niggerslop did it for the paycheck. You'd have a point if it was a small indie game.

You don't work on something for five years and not care. Even a shitty wagie job.

Yes, you do. NEETs shouldn't talk about things they have no idea about. Most businesses aren't exciting passion project or a tight-knit family business where all employees huddle together after shifts like handegg players motivated by their coach in a sports flick.

I'm not a bot I like simple games I don't have much time to play . This game it's simple and fun

I like simple games I don't have much time to play

You can literally play Tetris on your phone, literally the same experience.

These games aren't sustainable. You might not want them to make "big budget slop" but it's the only way to make money as a big AAA publisher.

i think people are being too hard on them?
is there proof? I mean even just having a cute black girl would have saved this

Not my problem

It's not the same the story it's good and the graphics too, it's smooth and combat it's fun.

How good? Please elaborate.

SEGA is having a golden age doing the exact opposite. Nintendo is extremely rich doing the exact opposite. Koei Tecmo is also doing extremely well doing the exact opposite and so on. It is obvious you know nothing.

Sources: Multiple confirmed insiders from Compulsion Games

Aka his ass.

terrible, waste of a good idea

Those 3 companies have some of the most popular IPs that can keep them afloat for centuries. Churning out low efforted entries of popular IPs is not the same as investing in bunch of nigger-core slops no one is gonna buy.

there's an artbook that has an early concept of hazel and she's white

i find this funny because i had an idea for a game set in the south starring a black woman but it'd be too politically incorrect

Hello Saar good morning are you Indian pls reply.

Spent entire game serving your white overlords as their slave

Ranking up your position in society by killing off other niggers

oh that wasnt my idea, that was my other idea that would never get published

horror survival game as a slave woman in the deep south.

how about make the black characters actually good
if the well wasn't poisoned from over 10 years of pandering trash and "another black character" didn't make people roll their eyes maybe that'd be more feasible

You're really into the PNW druggy look eh?

It's interesting how video games only appeal to white and Asian men. These people want to imagine a world where video games are like movies, everyone plays them, there's a genre for everyone.

I think I understand her RETARDED sentiment, that white male gamers are still the dominant consumer of this industry and that's all you can appeal to.

I'm not even mad, she's just a delusional ideas person.

what's the difference between her and the girl from Forspoken

the irony is theres actually a history of real black people contributing to game dev but you NEVER hear about them.

The funny part that even niggers prefer attractive white/asian female characters in game. That applies to real life, too.

isn't it crazy that these people can say insanely hateful things like that publicly and everyone just shrugs it off and calls you a chud for brining it up

but you NEVER hear about them

Because whenever they are mentioned the response is either "We WUUUZ GAME DEVELOPERS N SHIETTT!! LOLOLOLOL!" or "ackshually, this nigger didn't really contribute anything"

black women can be attractive cute and sexy, the problem is ghetto culture gets to them first, every race has their variation of ghetto culture but blacks have it the worst i reckon.

Men love cute black women, i remember once i was at a party full of white guys and there was a cute girly black girl on an american show. Every guy there thought she was adorable

You're in denial. If you spend eight hours of your day at a place five days a week, of course you wind up caring about it. Even in a negative way. You're invested. You have to be completely dead inside and be disassociating otherwise.

i mean as an example the guy that designed the iconic t-51b power armour in Fallout. I'm pretty sure the guy was black his name was T-bone.
No one mentions it.

Instead they talk about some bullshit story about some black guy inventing video games

Make hot 12/10 sexualized babes for the straight male audience, faggot

. Surely some devs and artists will eventually just say no to projects like this right?

Devs are usually all for it because it's their (or at least their leads) artistic vision, and they worked on games like this one for years. The problem with games like this is that they don't really have a large audience.

Why is this game getting focused on by the culture war chuddies who are desperate to win every little fight?

unnamed.jpg - 900x900, 69.25K

Funnily enough, dustborn was funded by the Norwegian government. It doesn't matter if you buy or don't buy the game. The government will just rip the taxpayers money and give it to those retards

It's not crazy, the UK proposed a two tier justice system that heavily discriminated against white men while giving foreign Muslims more chances and leeway.
We're already conquered remember? We created a society that had so few barriers and so much trust that we've allowed enemies who've always hates us to slip in and conquer us without a fight.

The only thing left is to quietly choose ingroup preference for your own kind without saying it out loud. Avoid drawing attention to yourself. Just be aware that everyone hates you and wants to take advantage of you.

what was that faggot getting uppity about, a white hero guy is perfectly in line with Fable up to that point

No, becasue she's ugly and dogshit

There was one PC game from the 90s that was pretty broken.

what was that faggot getting uppity about

Imagine having a great idea of a character (at least that is what you think), and your whole team worked on it for years. In the end, the publisher is telling you it won't be a cover; you would be mad, but the publisher often knows better. For whatever reason, a Black person on a cover leads to lower sales (unless it's a super hot chick or a super popular and recognizable character).

Aka his ass.

No, Mark Kern was definitely having something we don't know. This specific 3D sculpt that he posted, people dismissed as something from Fable, Flintlock, etc...Well it was actually indeed for South of Midnight, specifically this character. However, she doesn't actually exist in game. It can be true that the protag was supposed to be white, or this could be just an unused NPC, take it with a grain of salt.

Prince of Persia

Skull and Bones

to be fair to Ubisoft, they don't need any help making their games flop

False premise. They are activists, therefore the actual product isn't even on thier radar, only the message

Culture war only comes from the left. Rejecting it isn't culture war, it's normality

thats not the t-51b
fallout.fandom.com/wiki/Tramell_Ray_Isaac

The game and cutscene model of the armor was created by Tramell Ray Isaac for Fallout.[Non-game 9]

Now I normally wouldn't advocate for "don't play a game just because it looks ugly"
BUT
This style is such a massive red flag, it tells you everything you need to know about the game: Whoever made it doesn't like video games and did not put any effort into it.

all they had to do was make the mc an american mcgee Alice liddell type black girl

people would love it

by allah I will celebrate every SBI flop

The answer seems obvious, don't make black characters.

No, because of the nose ring.

Community managers are all cut from the same cloth.

You don't seem to understand, anon. When you talk about designing something, that means literally you design it from scratch. Whatever follows what you created are just derivatives. In this case, Tramell is the cutscene animator and Pitboy artist, he didn't design Power Armor

T51b

That's New Vegas's derivative.

And there goes the 'Well ackshually' bullshit.

Anon, it's time to stop. You are wrong. He designed the t-51b they told him to draw it and he drew it.

t. retard.

T-51b is the original fucking pa in Fallout 1. The lead designer guy Leonard told T-ray to draw it and he made the iconic cgi models.
It's his design.
It's fucking even named after him T- get it? T-ray, T-51b

nv fag don't be retarded challenge (impossible)

I don’t think that’s what’s happening anon
The character is ugly as fuck and she looks like the standard boring Mary Sue

She's pretty hot desu

Holy sperg. The armor had a hand drawn concept art beforehand, Tramell didn't draw it, he simply modeled it after the concept art, which was drawn by Anthony. Tramell designed Pipboy, which he proudly claiming him to be his design.

But T!

Tim Cain, the director of Fallout 1 and 2.

He did draw it, the piece of art you posted looks nothing like the t-51b
You are literally a fucking retard.

T dash you moronic clown

I got tons of downdoots and salty twitter esque responses because I said I wasn't gonna play this game. Why are people pretending to like this game? If it wasn't performative then surely the game would have 10s of thousands of players right now

I don’t think you’ve actually played it, the gameplay is fine. It’s not better than fine, but it’s not worse than that either.

My main gripe is that Hazel is kind of annoying, and is constantly reacting to things happening with incredulity

He did draw it

He drew Vault Boy. There is no 2D concept art of power armor from Tramell.

What you posted

Yeah, concept art. That was made before the final 3D model and cutscenes got made. Keep worshipping niggercock like a pathetic faggot you are.

The gameplay is literally fighting the same 2 enemies over and over again. The rest are cutscenes.

he was a 2d artist and cg artist. He is the designer of the armour.
They even said they had to modify his design.

They don't care. They just want a job and food on the table. I work on freaking slot games, sure as fuck don't care wot l who plays them.

we now live in a world where people just openly admit they're redditors and nobody bats an eye because they're redditors too

Source? The actual one, not the sources where they said he did the 3d model and animation, those jobs are just post processings.

Female Tarzan

It’s obvious when someone is quoting a youtube video at you about something they haven’t experienced. Combat isn’t the focus of the game, it’s mostly platforming and light puzzle solving

Just make the black women hot?

The setting is kind of interesting (flood ravaged deep south with mythological shit), unfortunately it's just an incredibly boring and uninspired game. It's like they went out of their way to make it as soulless and derivative as possible.

>People make white characters black

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MAKE YOUR OWN ORIGINIAL STUFF

>People make original Black characters

>REEEEEEE

how do you get around this?

I don't think not wanting to play games with black characters is REEEEing, but I don't have a problem with them existing. The issue is, the well has been poisoned by all the aggressive and intentional woke propaganda in the entertainment industry, so now even having a black protagonist at all feels like being preached at. It will be a while before that goes away.
Shouldn't have pushed your bullshit so hard.

I purchased it because it looks good and I like playing fun games.

It's neither of those things, however

If you fucked off to your nigger games and left everyone else in peace, that would be nice and there would be no complaints. However, you continue to poison everything with your niggery.

So literally a walking simulator with bunch of ugly niggers then? Thanks for the warning.

I purchased it because it looks good and I like playing fun games.

Said no one ever about this game.

stop listening to the people who would have bought your product if you had listened to them in the first place (but you never did), and make it instead for people that will never buy your product

kek

Everyone who played it likes it

how

then they are soulless faggots.
I would rather die than work on and spread faggot propaganda.

Holy shit really? Do you have a source for that, I want to laugh at the faggotry

Easy, no one actually played it.

What outrage? Does calling a game shit quality as outrage now?

I'll give you a fishing analogy.

The fish (customer) chooses to try and eat (buy) the bait (game). If your bait isnt what the fish wants, he wont eat it. You're seething about the fish not wanting your bait without understanding why.

Make something people want and they'll buy it. Don't, and they won't.

and the music is fantastic

It is, but what the fuck is with those lyrics

Surely some devs and artists will eventually just say no to projects like this right?

There's 2 kinds of devs: the ones who legitimately want this, and the ones who have no choice if they want a paycheck.

That's the shittiest analogy I've seen in a while.

There's always a choice. Your latter group doesnxt exist.

So literally a walking simulator

Yes and no. It's more that that the gameplay is brainless megaslop that is profoundly on rails

What's this? Never heard of it?

You have to be completely dead inside and be disassociating otherwise.

people work for a living any other way?

People make white characters black

Oh? Like they did in this game until Kim from sweet baby waddled in and started fucking things up?

it’s mostly platforming and light puzzle solving

it barely qualifies as either of those, or gameplay for that matter
The only thing in the game that requires any modicum of player thought or involvement is the combat and even that's really shit,, so that anon was right

It's a really boring game about a black girl fighting monsters in the deep south and doing on rails "platforming"

You see, i had seen some trailer with awesome undead blues nigga. Most of the trailer was awesome. And then in the end some sheboon had appeared - and most likely it is the main character.
It is not so much about nig characters, but about making nig characters ugly and lame. Granted, "ugly and lame" is the current rule for most modern videogame developers, but most niggers are ugly and lame irl. During 70s-80s-90s it was more or less solved by cool hairs and moustaches, before that a cowboy hat, old age and guitar were the solution, but today most niggers just go with their natural faces - and this faces are ugly as sin. Together with "realism", "inclusion", "breaking beauty standarts" and other things it looks like as if media intentionally pushes "ugly good, beauty bad" narrative for the last 10-15 years.

holy shit it's true

and yet he's completely correct

Not to sound like I'm coping as I haven't bothered to download it either, but why would you get it on Steam when it's given out for "free" on Game Pass?
The problem is that Microsoft keeps doing this. They'll get a unique new IP like Hi Fi Rush, make it "free" on launch day, and then are shocked when the game doesn't actually sell because everyone who would buy the game have just got it with the game pass package they already have.

Looked it up, looks kinda neat artstyle wise and premise, but not really my thing
It the seasons TORtanic?

I don't exactly trust microsoft to be competent, but I can see gamepass making them more money overall if half-assed slop like this keeps people subscribed who never would have bought the game to start with

Well, no, not like that, because that anon was clearly talking about taking established fictional characters and turning them black. Not cutting room floor shit like how Lara Croft was going to be a South American instead of a white British horse girl.

pjimage-4[1].jpg - 1920x1080, 391.97K

It the seasons TORtanic?

I don't think it's noteworthy enough to be given that honor
It seems to be a nothing little game that nobody really expected to do well in the first place

nobody wants this stupid groid slop bud.

they will get on other projects

when they get rehired somewhere else maybe

Well, no, not like that, because that anon was clearly talking about taking established fictional characters and turning them black. Not cutting room floor shit like how Lara Croft was going to be a South American instead of a white British horse girl.

It's not quite that simple when you have consultants coming in to wokeify your game. It's not an organic change during development, it's actively taking a white character and making it black for woke points

Except that nobody is seething about this one

I've seen more threads about this literally who indie game than I've seen of AC shadows and KC2. You are seething

n-no you HAVE to be seething!!!

It's just a bit of amusement, anon. Get over your weird delusions.

So this concept art was indeed the protagonist then. Grim.

ANOTHER single player indie game no one heard of failed

I'd get it if was a big hyped up AAA title, but this is just obsession.

The writer is literally Sweet Baby Inc's CEO

Oh wow, the crazy conspiracy theories aren't so crazy now, eh?

This dev's last game was really hyped up and sony or whoever picked it for promotion and ended up releasing for like 60 bucks. A lot of retards fell for it.

game realeases

not a big title, but mildly noteable

"nooo you're not allowed to talk about it"

This is a video game board, lad.

This game is one of those "blockbuster" that Kim Belair was making in the past few years. Everyone thought Unknown 9 was just some miniature indie game until they realized that shit had an entire MCU leved expanded universe and had money directly from Bandai. If you count SBI's consultant tax and how cutscene heavy it is, let's just say South of Midnight is atleast 100 million dollars to develop.

wanna bet Cum Ballhair got the biggest paycheck in that team too?

Don't mention race at all. If someone else mentions race, barely acknowledge it.

Interviewer: "So why did you pick a black protagonist?"

You: "idk"

Don't elaborate, don't give an opinion

I'm an indie game developer. I hire contractors (artists, developers, designers) for my games occasionally.

I will usually require a portfolio, including games they have worked on. If I see woke games, they won't get hired.

Your portfolio is your business card. Don't muddy it up with crap.

Game doesn't look bad, but the Xbox 360 actionslop gameplay doesn't do it any favors. Plus the lore is heh. I know slavery was bad and all but at least try to a bit creative. Neil Gailman did a much better job of this shit in American Gods.

I think my standards are low due to Debra being everywhere, but this isn't THAT shit compared to some other black ladies in vidya we've been seeing lately
The style is shit as self evident by the chin and nose being blocky but other than that the design is alright

It's not a bad design and I actually kind of like it, it just immediately goes in the trash for being another blackwashing

black characters need to be written by black writers who have the correct "lived experiences"

but metropolitan canadian faggots can write about the deep south without issue apparently

developers now know we're weird. so why do they persist, with their flop globina games?

Don't you know that whites collectively have no culture?

No, I don't know that

I love watching their ideologically charged games and their whole failed ideology crash and burn in real time, I really do

sane people: I'm not interested in this game, I'll just play something else and not obsess over it for 24 hours a day every day like some kind of completely mindbroken lunatic

schizophrenic people:

I don't mind her being black since it's about the South but I find her city girl personality to be repulsive. Why can't she be more tender and pleasant instead of this crass tough girl? I'm having "girls with attitude" fatigue.

I think some of the nu-Donkey Kong characters look more human and whiter than this.

schizophrenic people: OH MY GOD! ARE PEOPLE.... ARE THEY DISCUSSING VIDEO GAMES.... ON Anon Babble?????? HOW DARE THEY!!!!!!

Tarzan was handsome
That's a female gorilla

Pay attention to market demands.

Alternatively, as an artist, make what you want whether it sells or not.
Unfortunately, these people aren't artists. They're propagandists and clout chasers.

there's already another thread up on this game no one knew about

Is the story seriously about le whitey bad and le poor nigs and slavery? Can these people write ANYTHING else?

Can't you just realize people hate niggers IRL, so they will hate them in game too? Just stop shoving them down our throats. Anything more than 2 chars in the game being black is way too much, being the actual MC though? Unbearable

If I wanted to see black people I would just walk around town with expensive shoes and my cellphone in my hand, I would atract them like flies

Incels don't play videogames and they're way too stupid to make them

so why do they persist, with their flop globina games?

they force successful studios to do it so they go bankrupt, making way for goblina-funded studios.
Also their hope is to take over all of media, so all media is ugly and deformed, and people either have no choice, or accept it as the new normal.

define "incel"

I mean, I can give those comands to AI to get a design. Why even need an "artist" at this point when the product is the decision of a table full of suits?

git gud and try not making shit

I saw an ad and the trailer looked choppy like it was running at 30fps. At least it’s not $70? Not like it’s even worth pirating.

There's no choice. You're either from a wealthy family or an underage to even think there is a choice.

Here is your choice: Starvation, become a beggar, and get killed by a drug addict over a fight for who gets to put his cushion under the bridge. Is that choice for your liking, sir?

A normal human being can only THINK about doing his own projects after years in the wheel of fire giving Sauron what he wants and acummulation wealth in the process.

also all that fancy shit like gold trim etc all over the place and boots looks like she wears them after 3-4 generations of relatives.

Problem wasnt covers for this shit games like Saints row or Vampires. Its dog shit games first.

this fucking chin.. Also the gay cut on a brow.

”I’ve got a great idea. Let’s change the main character from a cute white girl to an ugly negroid that looks like one of those little puppet monsters from Puppet Master, and has her face permanently locked in a smug expression in all the promotional materials. If there’s one thing the public can’t get enough of, it’s smug, self-assured black women with bad attitudes who have a hyper-inflated sense of self-worth and unearned entitlement.”

Better length per dollar than most Nintendo games at least.

It’s more a mixture of indifference and mockery than actual anger. We’ve racked up plenty of wins at this point, we’re just watching the last of the shit that was greenlit during the post-Floyd nigger hysteria being pinched off, and we’re just here to make fun of it as it dies at the starting gate.

“Schadenfreude”, I believe is the term.

Yep, woketards are like that

define "incel"

like any leftard buzzword, incel is just "normal person who disagree with my religion"

We Happy Few

I remember being half-ass hyped about that, thinking it was going to be the new Bioshock or something.

Not ugly at all. Just not my type.

Is it fun though? Anon Babble loses their mind over anything with a black person but simped hard for generic slop like Stellar Blade, so the board never usually has honest opinions.

Never heard of it. Looks like a run of the mill modern moviegame about frmale generational trauma or a generic light fantasy world.

Who cares?

people with money don't want to play as black people

Is it fun though?

No, it's incredibly boring

Anon Babble loses their mind over anything with a black person but simped hard for generic slop like Stellar Blade, so the board never usually has honest opinions.

Why makes it dishonest?

I'm just rolling my eyes at how these retard devs keep trying to push this magical negress MC trope. Gamers are and always will be primarily White guys. Black women do not play video games, so who the fuck is this for?

Not making black characters, I guess

Go woke go broke :^)

Look mom I'm a janitoral scientist!

Isn't it funny that Anon Babble hates bad product and and likes good product (which is actually bad because it makes me dysphoric)

Fixed

If she were white I still would t play it
I don’t care about your faggot history teaching slavery boohoo games. Slavery still happens in the Middle East and Africans are the ones who started it. Suck my dick.

As long ans the character isn't hot 12/10 babe and likeable I won't play, that's all

1620131182267.jpg - 3000x3000, 640.28K

We have to force behaviors.

Ok but the bigger issue here is that this game got a shit ton of microsoft $ in funding while others didn't specifically because it was pandering to black people.

They shouldn't have received that money and the game probably shouldn't have been made to the quality that it is.

Its more like a parent forcing his kid to eat a broccoli and wents mad that kids dont want it throw it away as soon as they can.

except there is soem merit in broccoli being good for you, unlike the shit those activists are trying to forcefed to normal people

Broccoli at least have some usefulness. It is more like some out-of-mind wine aunt tries to force her new "piss-and-shit" diet on the rest of the family.

mostly imaginable merit same as this DEI activists

That has literally millions of players through Gamepass, retard.

Ton of parents force Urine therapy too.

you can make a black male protagonist work; you can make a black female secondary character work; but black female protagonists are poison to sales. a game with one of them is never going to be a hit.

means they didnt pay for it and there is no numbers of actual players in game. So its mostly "try and forget"

By making a good game

Game pass isn’t free, retard. Not sure where this meme came from it’s 22 dollars a month.

i certainly hope you don't think one more slop will affect anything ?
they will keep making shit like this, customers don't matter
the game is 100% funded thru services like gamepass
its literal money laundering
they will keep making more of it
it will not stop

why didn't it sell

you sub for 1 dollar and unsub
every 6 months or so the offer resets and you go again
2 months per year is way more than enough to play the slop they release
only pure bred retards will actually pay more than that for that shit tier service
its basically piracy

i think she's cute desu
i prefer this stylization over hyper realism
shame we'll never see 3d renders of her getting gaped by a giant white futa dick

kinda reminds me of the alice games
great art and concept but piss poor execution and gameplay

Microsoft and SBI are not selling human organs or meth, they don't need to launder.

doesn’t matter they got blackrock shekels

im sure this is the game that convinced people to buy a game pass.

This looks kind of good, actually. I like the deep south as a setting. If it plays like some kind of Zelda-esque action adventure, maybe I'll play it. Plus, I am attracted to black women now. It's my new thing.

Noooooo! You're not supposed to say that!!

Don't care.

money that was hidden from taxes need to be laundered too.

Game pass is basically a game renting service. You subscribe monthy to try out games there without having to pay them full price, literally the same with EA's service. Game pass's revenue is a collective and service based, not actual sales. Microsoft can give devs some small amount of net income, but it is nothing compares to actual sales.

Dont make up the black character pretend they were real and stick them as a mc in the only japanese assassins creed game.

I'll pick it up on a sale. It looks really cool but I've heard the combat is really meh.

Reminder that this retard actually bought the game.

If it plays like some kind of Zelda-esque action adventure

It doesn't. It's a long series of shitty glorified corridors with the most half-assed "platforming" imaginable, and combat that is barely any better
It also doesn't use the setting very well, almost everything is nondescript half-flooded wilderness with shitty combat arenas that are all exactly the same

Nobody does this. You must be soms European faggot who gets his shit hacked just to get game pass for one dollar off goats.cx code website.

Literally gave your entire description to ChatGPT and this is what it came up with.

Also that’s a one time deal btw
Making multiple accounts to take advantage of it makes you the ultimate faggot and you probably Smurf in online games too because you can’t handle competition

Make your black characters and then a story that doesn't revolve around "WHITE PEOPLE BAD" maybe?

You'd get hit pieces saying you just made a white person black, and the character isn't acting "black enough." Horseshoe theory and liberals being the real racists and all that.
Libs have decided that black culture IS the negative stereotypes and being obnoxious, overly touchy and violent, and so if you make a pleasant, intelligent black person they'll tell you YOU'RE being racist, implying that such things don't exist.

Between this, Snow White and AC:S, I think DEIshit is unironically dying and on it's way out.

Needs an extra 150 lbs, vitiligo, and autism

all this debate on why the game failed

Everyone has negro fatigue. All these recent flops were developed during the woke era, and now they're releasing when the pendulum is swinging. Should have given the main character big tits. I don't make the rules.

Next guy!

It's just really fucking ugly, and the netflix Arcane art style only worked for that one particular cartoon.
Also Xbox franchise, nogger fatigue etc etc

why can't they just make a cute black girl?

the image here answers your question (or at least gives you a glimpse behind the curtain)

never changed my account and i've done this 4 times
i had more opportunities but there's nothing to play on there that interests me

why am i not allowed to say a game doesnt interest me without buying it. I'm not going to buy every game ever made to be "allowed" to have an opinion on them. It's ok to defend a game if you've never bought or played it, it's just not ok to criticize a game if you've never bought or played it. Why is that? Why does everything have to trend towards blind consumption rather than critical consumption?

Nothng illustrated their commitment to violence, thuggery and general uselessness more than turning on anyone who tries to do better and accusing him of "acting white"

the 1 dollar deal is literally offered by microsoft, no code or third party anything necessary they are that desperate for subs

I hate giving gamergate men fuel

You're confirming that they were right you absolute faggot

I have a simple solution to DEI SJW SBI bullshit: make a good game first, add shit later. Bam.
I'll take cash, thank you.

Why is that? Why does everything have to trend towards blind consumption rather than critical consumption?

Because negativity bad and you can't criticize anything and you have to be positive at all times, even as things get steadily worse
TLDR: absolute faggotry

make a good game first, add shit later

People who "add shit" can't make a good game. Even if someone else makes the good game, it still fails, because people who "add shit" can't stop themselves from fucking it up

That's a made up rule created to dismiss criticism.
You don't need to engage with a product to criticize it. Promotional material, reviews and a fuckton of online content exist specifically to inform you, so you can decide if it's something worth your money/time or not. At worst you won't be able to criticize plot minutiae, which is irrelevant. All the rest is fair game

I won't buy your game if it has "added shit", activist
Also this

how do you get around this?

that's the neat part; you don't

And he is called Racist and a Hater when he does so.

Blackwashing is orders of magnitude more common than whitewashing has ever been.

They all got paid for their last project.
Do you honestly think the gravy train will keep running? A flop like this shrinks the market even more when boomers with money to fling realize all these video game investment don’t churn a return.
Yeah they’ll move on, to Walmart.

Flies are attracted to feces. They rate feces 10/10.

Alos shit that only exist to dismiss criticism.
It's called shaming tactics

And much more malicious, since whiteshing was part racism, part indifference and part necessity.
Blackwashing is just about racism and spite

We Happy Few devs

Doomed from the start. They had a great concept and ran it into the ground. Can't imagine they'd do any better with a concept I have virtually zero interest in.

and its mostly racist to Blacks too because this people dont believe blacks have something worth and just take things from whites painting it black

Yes. You need to go back if you don’t.

You can also get a lot of insight about a game just from watching it, albeit not everything.

true.
And it always make them lame, bland or tryhard. And ugly, because you must also fight european standards of beauty.
And, as anything forced, it will only cause an equal and opposite reaction. Inevitably. Good luck now trying to make an honest attempt at black character.
I'd watch anything Sidney Poitier, Richard Pryor or Eddie Murphy (that isn't made in this century), but will automatically be suspicios/dismissive about any modern black character, and that's only if it's perfect in presentation, otherwise it's automatically rejection at this point

wait, that's exactly what you were saying
I'm a retard

That's... exacly what I said in my comment, my distracted friend

why are other people not allowed to react to your criticisms?

Good luck now trying to make an honest attempt at black character.

Yep, they completely poisoned the well and destroyed their own cause. They can't fucking help themselves, they're too narcisstic and psychotic to do anything but ruin everything they touch. They already had everything they wanted, but their spite only grew.

my distracted friend

That is a much nicer way of saying retard

You are allowed.
You are NOT allowed to use specious arguments, sophisms and manipulative tactics. At least not withoud being called out for being a dishonest retarded shill and apologist

What the hell is this game even about? It just appears and suddenly died like a wet fart

why are other people not allowed to react to your criticisms?

You're not reacting, you're trying to police how people can talk about things and shut down negativity

To remind you that black people exist

Its a shame, this could have been fun little game you play between big games but they just HAD to fuck it up with negro nonsense. No one likes that shit, even if they pretend to on reddit/bluesky or whatever site the fags hang out on.

you have to be completely soulless to not care
but that's how those people are

Sex with goblin female.

That's too general. GTA proved that black people exist. You gotta be more specific

If you make a game with black people in it I know I'm being pandered to
I'm not gonna buy your game

Its a shame, this could have been fun little game you play between big games but they just HAD to fuck it up with negro nonsense. No one likes that shit, even if they pretend to on reddit/bluesky or whatever site the fags hang out on.

Honestly the woke shit isn't even the worst of it, it's actually just a really bad game

Alright, is the gameplay good, though?

Based, pandering is bad even when you're the one being pandered to. I fucking hate it, it's so insulting

GTA proved that racist caricatures exist. This is a just a regular black man living her life.

What's the difference between just putting black people and pandering to black people?

It must be heartbreaking to some degree given you've spent time working on it and this is the result. As for whether they would eventually stop taking on projects like this I think would depend on whether they have other projects they could be hired for. Because you get paid regardless of how the game fares after the project has been published. And some might jump on a poor idea just for the money.

All woke games are bad

black female on the cover

You used to have to do a bit of research to know if a game is shit but these days it's so easy.

Surely some devs and artists will eventually just say no to projects like this right?

No? This is like any other work. You do what you have to do and move on. Except for propagandists, no worker care about a product like this. They get paid, they did their part and they will move on to the next project.

What's the difference between just putting black people and pandering to black people?

intent
they talk openly about how important diversity and representation are

Because I'm not the one asking people to give up money for a potentially poor product. The burden of proof is ALWAYS on you as someone asking people to spend money on a potentially poor product.

I mean its alright... it doesnt overstay its welcome. Its like 8 hours long. Its just allllright.

The Spider-Man game is surprising. The first game is one of the best selling PS4/5 games and Miles Morales is basically a new game and story

I remember when some made a scene because of this picture that they all boring looking and lacking diversity.
At least they look like they're pulled straight from movies or TV shows and not drawn to look like racist caricatures.

games.jpg - 900x1196, 334.85K

I'm sure the ten gamers in Louisiana loved being seen.

The difference is easy to spot, if you have just a bit of a thing we used to call "critical thinking" until XX century.
Either way it's a false premise, since wokeshit doesn't pander to minorities, it panders to fellow white activists.
I will still give you a silly example (sorry for using movies):

The Heat fo the Night, Shaft, Bevery Hills Cop, Matrix (Morpheus), Action Jackson

not pandering

literally any modern piece of shit

pandering

they blackwashed a character no matter how much you wanna deny it

I did not give you permission to contradict me. You are not allowed

I was just following orders

Can Rule34bros fix her?

variety is good, but only if it's a variation of good.

There was a time I thought most western game protagonists were too boring and focus grouped and derivative of each other, but for me it was the brooding soldier (like Shepherd in your picture) or edgy assassin archetype, often placed in boring as fuck cover art
But god, it was a million times better than what we have now

I have anti-woke fatigue

If one of these flops you won't shut up about it

If it becomes a success you cry about being genocided because you had to see a minority

Fuck off

It's fascinating that just over a hundred Nazis faced trial, millions of others that fought in the war went on like nothing while Germany was occupied.

Can Rule34bros fix her?

They would just give her dick

Anti-Woke doesn't exist.
Only woke invaders and normal people

it's not anti woke tranny it's returning to normal, you lost

I have anti-woke fatigue

Of course you do, you're a leftist and you're losing.

Even "your" side voted against you lmao

drr people don't actually want original stuff, look at all this garbage original stuff that flopped!

People want GOOD original stuff, you idiot. These games aren't bad because they made everyone black, the devs made everyone black because they're incompetent and they know they can deflect all criticism of their game as racism.

She's ugly and I don't play games with ugly female characters

These new games have characters that are both bland and ugly.

I have legitimately never seen anyone posting about this game outside of Anon Babble. I don't think it exists. I think you fags finally completely made up a game to get mad at.

By making hot sexualized female black characters with coomer outfits like Sheva Alomar

Gee...wonder where they went...They must have disappeared to latin America!!

Sheva's leopard skin bikini changed me forever.

Most gamers like those protagonists though, it was the Tumblr tourists who complained about it

this

immediate butthurt

you will always be soulless NPCs

stop emulating your boomer parents and grow a soul

[X] Concord
[X] Dustborn
[X] Veilguard
[X] Avowed
[X] AC Shadows
[X] This thing

Holy shit, did we actually beat woke? I can't think of any other upcoming games like this other than Intergalactic, and that's coming out in 2027.

I don't give a single shit about diversity, but I do like variety, and I actually liked playing games with racial minoritries and different cultures before it was all subsumed into the woke, anti-white propaganda machine
Unfortunately, leftist faggots have ensured that those characters and cultures will be associated with woke propaganda for a long time to come.
Which I think is a genuine shame and it makes me hate them slightly more than I already did, but it's a negligible increase because I already hated them a lot

monster hunter, KCD2, AC Shadows dont count btw

I liked Contrast and its the same devs.

It's incredible how everyone got tricked into thinking that the problem with this image was the lack of blacks and women, when in reality the problem is the focus on realism making the designs boring. And even then the image is deceitful because it doesn't show Sam Fisher's iconic visor, or Sheppard and Isaac Clarke's iconic suits

enters thread to openly seethe and whine

characterizes calm, accurate responses as being butthurt

leftists really do live in a fantasy world where everything is reversed, don't they?

Holy shit, did we actually beat woke?

Not until it's gone, but it's heavily wounded at this point yes

he mentioned AC Shadows you faggot
and it heavily underperformed

It's woke because I said so!!!

Also, Shadows flopped MASSIVELY

monster hunter

Not woke

KCD2

Bait and switch that hides the wokeness hours after most people stop playing

AC Shadows

Had less players than Veilguard

kind of reveals how shallow and retarded they are to immediately conclude that white = boring, when they can't see any deeper than that

Bait and switch that hides the wokeness hours after most people stop playing

It's also the kind of wokeness that isn't all that obvious to normie audiences, as opposed to the overt wokeness of the other games

B A S E D

It's also the kind of wokeness that isn't all that obvious to normie audiences, as opposed to the overt wokeness of the other games

Even the anti-woke youtubers will see all female NPCs shitting on the male protagonist for no reason and think it's not woke

Surely some devs and artists will eventually just say no to projects like this right?

Problemo is that they probably fully agree with this shit, in these companies any dissent is an instant firing, they basically foster a culture of fear of "you're fully with us or we'll make your life miserable", that's why they find themselves in a huge echochamber all around them because they filtered anyone who would say anything contrary to their beliefs.

Most artists are outsourced freelancers. They're already out the door long before the game is released.
