I thought it was confirmed that the scene is skippable? Or is that just the optional relationship?
My gut says that part is so over the top that it obviously has to fake... but this is literally the state of AAA gaming today. If this is true I still think the game will sell plenty - normies gonna normie - but the IP is dead.
(and I don't just mean NPC normies but the enlightened centrist faggot types that populate half-KIA who say who cares about globohomo propaganda "AS LONG AS IT'S FUN")
Normies will be impressed by the graphics and physics, and all the subversive niggerfaggotry will absolutely fly above their heads as if it doesn't exist (even the cross-dresser shit, it was in RDR2 after all)
the only saving grace that KCD is a very, VERY niche franchise that was brought up by fans and medieval enthusiasts (it sole-y existed due to kickstarter) and because of that i don't think they can pull a RDR2 with this
granted normies aren't subscribed to grummz, they just looking for some vidya slop to munch on and KCD2 looks a lot more palatable than AVOWED so it will unfortunately sell millions, but i'd recon a lot of fans are going to be pissed and Warhorse Studio will probably be disbanded after the sales projection ultimately disappoints because unlike the previous game, the current team had proper budgets (and advertising budget) so a lot more is at stake here.
Don't forget that their owners are deep in the red, they are bleeding money and are cutting a lot of losses. So sale projection really need to save the mother company in order to not be cut, haha
Embracer has billions, 7.4 billion Euro in total
and they bought Warhorse for 38 Million, money-wise i don't think they are to lose much UNLESS everyone just pirates their game in protest (because remember the game releases with ZERO DRM whatsoever)
I am not saying that Embracer themself will shutdown, I am saying that they will kill Warhorse if it cannot bring enough profit and propaganda. They are in process of restructuring, so Inefficient propaganda will probably be cut.
Oh i know, they killed the Piranha Bytes studio because elex 2 released not only unfinished, but pozzed to kingdom come (and on the same month as elden ring, which guaranteed its demised)
tbh, i'd actually PREFER if they kill the studio rather than keep it alive to produce more Marxist niggerfaggotry.
Wait is elex 2 bad? I have it in my library but haven't gotten around to playing it yet
Is it the single most pozzed PB games that i ever had the misfortune of playing, luckily i torrented it and not bought and thus spared myself the humilation of paying for anti-White, pro nigger, pro feminist DEI game with the shittest writing ever conceived
"realistic butseks mechanics!"
I'm going to say it's fake too. Here's the relevant section from the ESRB summary:
That's the upper limit of what's in the game, unless you believe the devs and publishers are trying to burn bridges and make their product unsellable by sneaking something worse in.
It wouldn't be the first time when the ESRB had to reexamine things they previously rated because things got past them due to the sheer scale of the game. This was the case for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which had it's rating changed from T to M.
A cording to grums and the comunity manager this is fake, if you trust their word or not, I dunno.
Edit:
I mean you can see in real time people trying to cope and twist that this is not the betrayal or it is not so bad, haha
But since they did respond and have been trying every trick and are now going with just trying to not fan the flames (in the forums atleast) This has had an impact on their sales and preorders, and Varva fears asmongold and critical drinker reviewers so we will see if shills will wake up and warn in time or not.
I don’t even give a shit if it’s fake or not at this point, the fact that Vavra didn’t explicitly condemn all of this as rumors and affirm that there’s explicitly no faggotry or nigger-worship in the game from the get go tells me all I need to know.
He took the esg jew money, and now he gets to play the victim and pretend there’s “woke” people on both sides coming after him.
muh woke right
A fair stance. There is none to truly trust atm in this regard.
That part seems perfectly believable honestly. You can sneak a dick into a lot of games without a lot of pushback from places because its either not obvious or goes too fast for the small handful of checkers to catch.
There might be confusion on what it means for gay content to be mandatory. The old and generally understood definition of an 'unskippable cutscene' means you can't press a button or anything to skip past it. This hasn't been a thing in games for while though. I think what a lot of people mean by it now though is it's something you're garunteed to come across in the main story. Having your father's sword stolen by Runt in the first game was uskippable, even though you could press a button to end the cutscene and get right into the fight.
It had 1 game before this didn't it? That's not a franchise, that's wishful thinking you had made the next Elder Scrolls cashcow.
I'm waiting till the game comes out and there's no NDA before I make a judgement. Right now there's a ton of conflicting info being repeated. The head dev says there aren't any unskippable scenes in the entire game. A few people with early copies agree. A few with early copies say there are way worse things. Others say it's about the same as the first game. Whatever the game ends up being, it seems that there are people on both sides of this ordeal saying things that might be false. Best to not preorder and just wait for actual footage of these side-quests and such to either appear or not appear before making a judgement call.
The head dev is as slippery and slimey as a catfish
statement: this comes from the very guy who argued that niggers didn't exist in Bohmeia 1403
its obvious as hell he sold his soul to (((Embracer))) and will espouse whatever diversity bullshit they ask of him because shekels goyo.
That's how it looks right now, but I'm just an untrusting bastard and will wait till the game is out.
Untrusting bastards unite!
Or maybe not. Not sure I trust any of you 😠
mm can't tell if true or /v/
Grummz claims that this Steam post is fake.
Saw that last scene from a reviewer glowing about the gameplay. I’m thinking they used the ESG money for advertising.
the game is surprisingly optimized as well
but is the money worth it? they've betrayed everything they originally stood for
I guess I'll throw another thousand hours into Oxygen Not Included
Archives get stuck behind a cockblock for adult content page.
Here's the thread on the Steam Community forums.
The OP of that thread is just a talented troll. Their profile alone should get an award in that respect.
That said; There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Dammit! It could of have been good. Oh well.
This is confirmed fake, both by https://x.com/Grummz/status/1881810012475187541 and by having a single working neuron in your brain and the tiniest bit of sense.
Grummz said the Mali nigger (and his dialogue) is fake 2 weeks ago, now where everything is confirmed (by Vavra) he backpeddles
infact just a few days ago he argued that KCD 2 isn't woke, now he's posting this
you're just coping and giving obvious grifters the benefit of doubt, when its painfully obvious they've sold out and put DEI elements in their game.
I think there can be a space for "this person provided no evidence beyond 'trust me bro, I gotta stay anon though' and is presenting a wildly large amount of stuff beyond what we know for sure" that isn't coping.
We already know the game added woke elements and is compromised trash, we don't need to believe "and also he raped puppies" at face value. It just devalues the criticism, which is why screaming "Nazi" at Elon didn't work yesterday when it would have a decade ago.
I get you're skeptic but Toth was an established gay character in the previous KCD, however he wasn't a blatant homosexual like they're going to make him in the Sequel, you think "this is too over the top, it can't be real" but people didn't believe the tranny sex scene in last of us 2 and look at what we got
you can disbelief the guy, but the fact he got banned for it is the single-indicator that he is on the money.
I'm skeptic because of the way the guy wrote it. I can absolutely believe gay sex happens. I have more trouble believing a 30 whole seconds is spent focusing on it, because that's a palpable eternity in media and would run anti- to any propaganda its meant to force because it would turn it into a joke.
Everything else seems perfectly believable enough, but its those little threads that make me require more support beyond "I gotta hide my identity, but trust me when I say everything everybody wants to hear exactly!" And him being banned for it proves nothing, because the place is being heavily moderated period so anything like that would get removed. Including him not putting it in spoiler tags or putting spoiler in the title, which gets people banned on a lot of Steam Forums.
In the end, we already know they sold out and put Woke shit in the game. Most of us can't not buy it twice if its worse.
Also near the entire game of Last of Us 2 got leaked, so most of us believed that because it had that evidence backing it.
Brother, if you did not realize reviewers got the entire game key like 2-3 weeks ago when the game gone gold
there have been streamers who have been playing the game for over 100 hours and they probably know more than all of us but will not divulge information because of NDA (lest they'll be sued to oblivion)
if you are willing to wait, i'm planning to pirate this game day-1 and playing it non-stop to find the subversive elements for a review
because from what i've seen on youtube by now, there actually ARE cuck-quests where you're supposed to help foreigners (i.e Cumans) get on with the local ladies for money
i won't spoil the whole quest (involves drinking, and fist fighting) but the quests in the sequel are HUGELY cucked, from saving a polish adulterer from being lynched to diving in shit (seriously) to fetch a guy who owns money to a group of Burghers
it is pozzed and it doesn't really hide it that well, sure you got a "choice" to fail these quests but it would mean henry would get penalized for doing so...
I'm aware they probably have the evidence. But it hasn't been provided to me in any way other than "dude I promise." If they do, my mind is open to be changed (like it was once the initial nigger screenshots were confirmed) but that's a principle I try to hold across all things. Especially in a post-MeToo world.
You do you my guy, but your time is the most valuable thing in the world. Wasting it on this Woke trashheap is still giving them too much of your life, unless you can be paid for doing so. Just a personal opinion, so you can disregard if you like.
Again, I'm open to my mind being changed on this when the time comes. But otherwise it was already a "no buy" even if this was all made up anyway, and it should have been for everyone here.
I'm of two minds of this.
You're right that time is the most valuable commodity in the world for which nothing can be traded for it. However, if Golden can do a good write-up of all the pozz in the game then it makes it easy to highlight the problems to normies who may be dismissive of it.
So any thoughts on the Hans love interest trust me leak?
It doesn't really say anything we haven't had confirmed for the most part. Though the title ("Its worse tha[n] you think") seems at odds with the attempt at being neutral through the rest of the write up. But like, am I in the wrong that the title feels like its gonna go for an informal and inflammatory rant, but then the text is very formal, vague and review like? That could also be me primed to look for these things right now, so could just be overthinking.
But again, nothing in it hasn't been confirmed by this point afaik. Though of course, I also thought the initial, now-confirmed screenshots that seemed over the line so I'll always be willing to believe if that changes.
Either way, the gay sex and "we are just better than you" Nigger were already over the line for anyone to not buy it and those were hard confirmed by the devs themselves. That's all anyone should have needed.
"Trust but verify" you say? That is kind of catchy. I wonder if we could put it up on a sign around here or something.
You are one stupid son of a bitch.
Oh lovely, more .jpg posting. Forget whether or not the game is what's described in this image, I don't believe this image to be real.
Is the game going to be completely pozzed? Yes.
Should we blindly accept as gospel truth every image that gets posted to twitter? No.
You're the only one who cares.
The rest of us can do our own research.
You seriously don't think this screenshot is real? Like someone took the time to write up a fake post with a Steam forums background template and a fake user with some little award emojis and screenshotted it? Instead of just... posting on the Steam forums?
It should be easy to post the link to the Steam forums then.
So you don't actually think that, you're trying to make a point. Got it.
