This is like the fifth thing today I've seen the leftists bitch about that I just think "who cares?"

I prefer games to just give me a character they designed for me anyway. Let me play some fictional character's story and not a bunch of pretend make believe that I'm actually in this game.

Avatar-based gaming makes shit woke.

What world do you live in? “Avatar-based” gaming is presently our best escape from the woke. Every new fixed protagonist is an empowered female or minority.

I think protagonist games that are woke are not doing that well. The exception being horizon zero dawn.

It goes all the way back to books and even way before that. There's not a section in the front of the book where I fill in that the MC is a fat pink haired "man" with piercings and a vagina. You get whatever characters were written for you and can form your own connections or opinions on them.

It's not that I'm going to go in a rage that they shouldn't be allowed to make these create-a-character game, but if we are talking single player story RPGs, I've gotten to the point where it dampens my interest in them. Mainly, because just my experience they don't offer me the same type of story, because in a lot of ways they can't because they left a lot up to the player.

you're big titty rich adventure chick in tight shorts

This is the part that is a head scratcher for me. Lara Croft was James Bond/Indiana Jones - it was such an awesome character design. She's rich, she has a thirst for adventure, she likes collecting shinies and a lot of it harkens back to her childhood. Good basic premise for why she does what she does.

Every game played like a movie that you participate in through actual gameplay. Why did they have to "reboot" her to make her grittier when the old version of her was just as good?

She was the over the top exaggerated action heroine. She exuded confidence, style, and nothing phased her. Did the big tiddies and booty shorts really trigger leftists because it made soyboy peepees hard and gave overweight landwhales "muh image" issues?

Well it was already game of the year, now it's game of the decade.

It is a game that I could not have imagined being made today. It may not be perfect, at least on PC but is definitely the best thing to come out of gaming in recent years.

Ash Parish sounds like a boss location.

I’m still waiting for complaints about the storyline because there’s dark skinned Demi humans in tribal grass skirts.

It is not skyrim game, I know you asked before. Is dark souls in an open world. The game is great but is no skyrim, the world is not rich in NPCs, is not like skyrim where there are a lot of cities/ villages, a society that had guilds and politics, this is a huge world with big ass monsters.

Oh ok. Thanks. I was hoping it would be like Skyrim. I’ll watch some play through a first. I’ll definitely buy Starfield.

Did you get a chance to try out Enderal Forgotten Story? I did mention it before. Is a really good game built upon skyrim.

The story is much darker then in Skyrim and is very well done. It has companions with great stories and personalities and the world has a lot of interesting side quests, guilds of sorts and hidden magic.

The game is free on Steam if you already have Skyrim.

Sounds like that’s a problem for Ash Parrish and nobody else. If I was in charge of a video game magazine or site I would fire these worthless writers who do t understand that people want to know about how the game is. Hopefully the company behind Elden Ring doesn’t apologize

Yeah, the game is good, but what it really needs is the ability to rock rough, and stuff with my afro puffs.

Muh-Ginger, red-haired repruhsentation isn't there! This is an atrocity!

For that matter, why are there no gingers in Wakanda?

For those of you who are going to get the PC version, get it from Green Man Gaming.

They have it on discount. I don't know how they do it but the discount lets you get the "deluxe" edition for cheaper.
