New games suck... or is it just me?
By Viciouss 2024-09-18 10:58:41
I just picked up Nier Automata and Nier Replicant on Steam sale last night. I watched most of the anime on Crunchyroll that was produced by SE and was blown away by it. I was surprised how close that anime story followed what I've seen in FF14. I didn't want to finish the anime and possibly ruin the ending to the game.
Hopefully it's good. I got FF16 to get through first tho.
Automata is their best entry, Replicant was a step back.
The woke crowd is upset over this comment from the Sabre Interactive CEO (Space Marine 2):

Apparently this is "controversial"
Nah.

"Nah", its not controversial? I agree.
There should be nothing controversial over saying "were making a game about fun and immersion".
By Viciouss 2024-09-18 11:15:24
Can you even confirm that is the CEO of Saber making that comment?

Cause the wokies seem pretty confident that its him, to the point they're harassing him and other people who work at Sabre demanding clarification and answers.

I don't need to, you are the one claiming its him. Posting a screenshot, no less. Not even a verifiable link. Looks pretty sus to me. Why would the CEO of a gaming division casually try to create controversy? And why mention Wukong? Try to do your homework before posting your conspiracies.

Stay mad
Because its the most recent game that defied the woke agenda and made a game for gamers. He probably would have referenced Stellar Blade if this was 4 months ago.
By Viciouss 2024-09-18 11:38:41
So you posted a link that says "no comment?" How is that proof? Also, I'm never mad at entertainment.

Stay mad bro
Enjoy your Concord

Also, this didn't happen. A Chinese made game didn't "defy the 'woke' agenda." They made a game for their country, not caring about gamers in the West at all. People trying to put Wukong on a pedestal is genuinely hilarious.

It probably was the CEO. You can tell which game companies run with based management and those that run with DEI management.

It's typical political strategy lol. Separate "good game Dev(stellar blade, wukong)" with "bad game Dev(DEI, blackrock). Then fight the bad ones while praising the good ones.
Not gonna fall for it.

Is this just your way of saving face? Every time I call you out, you are going to play the victim card and squirm away?

Wow you really are still pushing the conspiracies in this thread? Try to do your homework before posting your conspiracies.
lol
You're going on about victim card, but you seem to jump on every post of mine and go on about the same ***every time, without actually rebutting anything, just going "thats a conspiracy theory". You never have any actual argument about these things, just dismissive attacks.
>>posts screenshots of normal looking females from eastern devs, normal looking males from western devs that are incapable of making normal looking females
Viciouss: “thats a conspiracy”

You forgot Astro Boy, the new beacon of anti-woke games.

Normal looking female?
This is Eve's face.
This is your normal looking female on streets.
Look at the proportion of the eyes, see the difference? there is no way that "female by eastern Dev" is anyway "normal looking female".....
(I didn't criticize artists for beautifying female faces, it's literally their job to beautify images. I am only against the statement saying Eve represents vast majority of people irl. )

Maybe they really couldnt make Kay look normal, but it had nothing to do with technical limitations or issues, they were just all DEI hires who have no idea how to code anything.
I can already hear Viciouss typing some ***about a conspiracy theories and trying to justify this absolute garbage.
By Viciouss 2024-09-18 19:56:29
/yawn. So every time a game is bad, you are going to just cry DEI? Don't even need to click on your twitter link, then.

Clearly you didnt click the link and watch the video to see WHY the game is bad.
Maybe you should use your eyes and brain before going "KUHN-SPEEEEE-RAAA-SEEEEEEEEE", just a thought? I know that is a tall task for you, but I believe in you.
So... I have been increasingly frustrated with new games over years. I feel like so much effort it placed on graphics, lighting, art style, ect and maybe 10% of that effort is placed into gameplay, controls, and story.
My latest purchase was Visions of Mana, which I was pretty excited for. Secret of Mana is in my top 5 all time, I've played Seiken Densetsu 3 translated and while I didn't think it was as good as Secret of Mana, it was still extremely enjoyable. I skipped Trials of Mana since I had already played Seiken Densetsu 3. Vision is just bad. The english voice acting was awful, the characters were bland/generic or just stupid, and I was 3hrs into the game and all I was doing to running 30seconds between CS. Felt like a slightly interactive shitty anime.
Hogwarts Legacy, Visions of Mana, Baldur's Gate 3, Starfield... I felt like all of these super hyped games were absolute duds. Final Fantasy 16 is coming to PC in a few weeks and I'm not sure if I even want to try it anymore. I've heard people say not great things about it.
I know I'm just venting a bit here, but it really sucks being excited for a new game and then the crushing disappointment when it's not fun.
