I know, culture war and all that crap needs to be discussed, but i think some of us long for the content of old. So i'll start with this one:

CDPR asks for feedback on cp2077.
"Paweł Sasko, the lead designer for quests on Cyberpunk 2077, is asking for players’ feedback to help improve the game. It may even influence future CDPR projects."
...patches have been added and it’s returned to the PS Store. In addition, CD Projekt Red has committed to continue to work to improve Cyberpunk 2077, 40% of CDPR’s staff are working on CP77, with a big release tentatively scheduled for the end of this year. And 25% are reportedly working on DLC for the game.
Currently working on a retrospective look at #Cyberpunk2077 quests for my team: going to analyze the reception of our players — the goal is to improve, identify what worked well, what didn't, and why.
Could you help? Write what #Cyberpunk2077 Quest has really stayed with you?🤔 pic.twitter.com/a7hspB77ki — Paweł Sasko (@PaweSasko) September 25, 2021
Are there actually any 'new' (re: last 3 years) games that aren't painfully woke? I kind of just stopped caring for a while and nothing I've played recently is younger than 10+ years old.
AAA-tier? Its a crap shoot, and you will have to keep an eye out of it.
AA-tier and Indie tier? Plenty. I have been enjoying stuff that either has its own internal politics disconnected from IRL politics, or stuff that has no relation to politics in even the slightest. Its just not going to be stuff that stands out and screams for your attention. You may have to find it on your own since it will fly under the radar, with maybe some niche advertising for AA games.
Well I mean that's kind of the problem, isn't it? I'm not actively looking for them, and nobody I know is talking about them. Can't play games that I don't know exist, so I end up just playing what people do talk about, classics.
Well, the only ways I can offer advice then is to set up some ways to keep your eye out for stuff. I just have a few Youtubers I watch who have similar taste in games to me, and every once in a while I just look through the "Upcoming" tab on Steam and Steam Curators. That is how I figured out that some madlad revived Microprose and was making strategy games again. On that not, if you are into strategy, I would personally argue its currently undergoing a renaissance and has either recently released or will be releasing a bunch of great games.
The original co-founder.
Anything without a story can't be woke, most of the time.
Unless it's EA, who are so woke they balanced their battle royale game to force you to use female characters.
Yeah, it's really a shame I enjoy RPGs so much. They sure don't make 'em like they used to.
Does anyone know if the newer Tales games any good? Arise is still too new for me to really trust any news on it. I actually had to look up what the previous games were because I don't really follow the series at all and I don't recall Zestiria/Berseria getting any attention like Arise currently is, but maybe I just missed it.
