Whoa, whoa, whoa, SPOILERS!
Hahaha, just kidding, no one gives a shit.
That's amazing though, if they really went with this nonsense. Making games for Modern Audiences was always retarded, but it's especially retarded now, when things have started to swing back at least a bit. This game is like a vestigial tail or something.
A vestigial tale, if you will.
Are the sale numbers smoke and mirrors? I hope so
The problem is the average consumer is uninformed and just mindlessly consumes. The previous game was great so they buy the next one. Products usually sell based on the quality of the one before that.
Nothing illustrates this better than disney star wars:
TFA: $2 billion. TLJ: $1.3. RoS: barely cracked $1 billion worldwide.
Same thing happened with Spiderman
Sales are supposedly down by a solid chunk. I think its only sold as much as 40% as the previous game? That or it was 40% less.
All they ever do is call their flops, "Fastest selling" now. Which never means shit when the video game market increases YoY.
They only ever release total sales if the game was actually successful.
You get lies, damned lies, statistics and gaming journalism.
Yes, it’s definitely all gaslighting, bullshit and copium.
They've certainly pulled that sort of trick before, so it's definitely possible.
When this game first went into development, there wasn't the swing back there is now, and it was far too late to go back and change it like GTA6 is doing.
Stop coping you retard. Nobody ever wanted this, it was always forced, and the pressure is just being let up to crank the ratchet of progress once more. nothing is stopping. the right side of the overton window is just being moved up to represent modern standards as yet more fights are lost and forgotten.
What cope are you taking about? I'm agreeing with you. Games take several years to develop, and development for this game began when the USAIDS bucks were still flowing. The woke cunts behind this thought they were advancing the line in the culture war by subverting a well-received game and turning it into another girlboss dyke game. Like how Warhorse subverted Kingdom Come Deliverance by turning it into a several hour humiliation ritual that debases straight white Christian males.
The cope is that things are improving, what you're talking about is just the right side of the overton window being shifted left with media that's tolerable and pretends not to hate the audience which will serve as the new baseline for non-communist/pc/"woke"(God, I hate that stupid sounding non-word) or whatever the new buzzword is and instead of objecting to faggots as a whole and the complete destruction of racial homogeneity people will cheer the "based" depiction of gay side characters who aren't just the gay token, and they'll be glad that for once Western civilization isn't being portrayed as the ultimate evil, even if 12th century Bavaria is portrayed as 30% black, 20% Asian, 40% racially ambiguous mutt, and 10% white(only the bad guys and useless losers).
I know nothing has changed culturally, not until every clown-haired commie is purged from every industry and every institution. What has changed though is companies aren't being subsidized force feed poison to the audience like they used to, so going forward they'll either have to start putting out content the audience actually wants, or they'll be bought out by the Saudis and Chinese (who will subsidize their own poison, but at least they'll serve it with a spoon full of sugar to help it go down)
"Stop seeing propaganda everywhere, it's just a game, you woke right."
I'm tired of being told this exact thing. I'm the problem because I point out the problem. "Why are you so political" I was told when I lost my slot in school because of vaccine mandates. "Why can't you relax" when my entire department at work gets replaced with slave labor. "What's wrong with castrating young boys and girls, I bet you're fun at parties!"
If it matters enough to change it, then it matters to me
Lol James Lindsay is such an irrelevant woke faggot.
I’ve been told since at least the late 90s that there isn’t an agenda and that gay ppl exist so it makes sense to overrepresent that population. Couldn’t they at least give you the choice? Other games do.
Girls do form "relationships" in Japan (usually in all-girls' schools) but it's considered a childish phase that they're expected to outgrow and find husbands.
I'm old enough to remember when girls always came in pairs, they always had a "girlfriend" who they spent most of their time with. Men would use the terms 'best friend' or 'wingman' though loners were still fairly common among men, and rare among women.
In either case, platonic friendship is something that goes back as far as human history. It only had to become sexual when utterly depraved lunatics were running the asylum.
As usual: women most effected.
So like pillow friends in the wheel of time books that they grow out of. Although the show runner felt it was super important to include it in the show
Girls form “relationships” everywhere. it’s called “having friends”.
Not everything that happens in Japan has to be a fucking “Muh special culture” observation.

Not much different than prison gays in that context tbh.
lol, the second I saw that donkey bitch’s ugly face in the trailer last year I knew this game would be a woke shit show to avoid at all costs. We all did.
“Pattern recognition” is our super power.
So racist. why no black women
This is the jew's revenge for Ghost of Tsushima obliterating the last of lesbians 2 in sales
So they turned the sequel into feminist troon propaganda, the very thing it destroyed
I saw that the female member of the crew of villains is redeemed. Because of course.
That isn't how TLOU2 ends
Tbf, that's the implication. "Now that your parental figure has been brutally murdered you shouldn't seek revenge, help this very jewish woman raise her half-asian kid, also, the baby daddy is dead"
Nope. Dina leaves with the baby. Ellie is alone at the end.
I said implication. Raising the child with Dino is implied to be the "right choice"
She's gonna be a dad OK? https://youtu.be/ZL48pBMHatw
Nephew picked this up and I had to watch him endure it. They sweet baby'd the fuck out of this game.
Main character Atsu is a total Mary Sue who starts the game being the best at everything. She's already known as the Onryo, everyone is afraid of her, she already has all the tools Jin had to earn and she's a master at everything and a savant when learning anything new. She roams the countryside being a professional bitch, judging everyone and every action, being as toxic as possible. Almost every mission ends with a "then everybody clapped" moment.
Men are 100% helpless or evil. The few who can teach her new weapons are stuck behind excuses as to why they won't help in the war. The ones calling for resistance are ALL women. The only ones Atsu respects are other, usually older women with her same stubborn demeanor. She never changes or learns. There is no character development involved. Earning a new weapon involves a 20 minute crash course and ends with weapon masters praising her natural talent and acknowledging her as an equal.
She even meets her brother, who she believed was killed, and immediately treats him like shit. That's another thing - this game postulates that even the samurai are bad because aside from being inept against the warlord, they're just there to oppress the population and just a trade from one tyrant to another.
Did you know Japan had indigenous people who were there before the Japanese? This game embraces their presence. Otherwise where the first game was a love letter to Japanese culture, this game feels like an indictment of it. Evil wars, petty squabbles, crooked men and unsatisfied women abound.
It's a shame because the gameplay itself is quite good. The new weapons work well and combat is satisfying. It's just that everything else this game expects you to swallow is just complete feminism manure.
Feminist girl boss protagonists represent stolen valor. In real life, virtually all women run from war and combat, and this is in the modern age when guns have greatly leveled the playing field. In an age where combat is almost entirely defined by physical strength and speed, female combatants were unheard of.
Oh, except Atsu is unafraid. She charges gunners and cannons regularly. In one instance, she gets her brother to join her (even though he protests out of common sense) and of course they end up fine.
He then admits she was right to try it and should have been brave enough to try it himself. It's absurd. Whoever wrote this was fresh off a reddit rant.
In one mission, she talks him into posing as a captured prisoner so she can turn him in and get close to a general they want dead. This goes poorly and her brother get the shit beat out of him. Then she tells him it's his own fault for being weak by following samurai code. He then agrees with her but still goes back to them. She treats everyone like garbage.
No, no, he's right. A person this insufferable should be encouraged to charge into gun and cannon fire.
The first one had a gay female samurai in it. If I remember correctly, in one mission you rescue or avenge her dead lesbian lover?
Can't remember this exact event but the game had plenty of subversive feminism in it. It's just that no one picked up on it.
The first game was pretty good despite some mild mentions of gay shit in there. But yeah man I knew this new one would a disappointment.
You have got to be fucken kidding me.
