so I have seen the posts about the writer that everyone hates but I have also seen posts saying this writer was fired or left the company so its a different writer who apparently isn't known for being a far left communist shitbag
did that leak of the dev build reveal a bunch of DEI wankery or does it look like it might be OK?
Gamers are starving. I'm willing to deal with the old fashioned problems so long as it isn't a woke pile of trash. This has been the worst year yet. Concord, Flintlock, Dustborn, Suicide Squad, Star Wars Outlaws, AC: Shadows, all of them high budget unplayable garbage. Even Nintendo is giving in. We've passed "inclusion is good" and rolled into "these games are purposely made as activism." We're not even expected to like this shit but we're blamed when it fails miserably.
In a normal 4th quarter there are usually at least 6-10 games that look interesting that come out within weeks of each other. This year there are two (for me), one being Space Marine, and both are marked as approach with caution.
So I can deal with a few ignorable cosmetic micro transactions so long as the escapism is intact. If it's not pushing the message in my face I am more likely to support, or at least tolerate it.
Elden Ring DLC is great. That’s about it for this year. Even indie has been pretty quiet.
I had a great time with V Rising, which had no woke in it. Even on console I sunk 50 hours into it because the landscape is otherwise barren.
It does have body type, So no woke at all seems a bit weird to state, then again you are self proclaimed starved man and thus even poison might be a meal worth having for you.
