King is the stereotypical limousine liberal - thinks diversity is awesome while living so far from it that it has never affected him.
It would not have saved the game. Atsu is insufferable and hates almost everyone she interacts with. With all the reddit retard sweet baby writing, it's a toss up trying to figure out if they wrote the lousy character to suit the sjw actress or cast a sour cunt to suit the insufferable bitch they wrote.
I wonder how a slapstick comedy in the style of Naked Gun/Hot Shots set in the Civil War would be received.
I read that Tencent basically confiscated them from Ubisoft because of poor decision making and lousy performance.
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.
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.
The idea is less believable than Roger Moore's elbows reaching all the way to his hips.
It's like the director said "I want this game to feel like a trip to the DMV. That's the vibe gamers love."
"If the courts don't have time, resources, judges, appointed lawyers, court clerks, or the jury pool to conduct an additional 14 million jury trials per year, the system has failed!"
Just mock-up targets for a church shooting, nothing too serious.
So just confirming that obsessed cultists can't stop injecting cult shit into their slop, and other cultists like their slop with a side of cult.
When you cancel Hulu, you still get to watch until the end of your billing period. Signing right back up after one week likely didn't interrupt her service at all. It's hypocritical to think you've made a stand when you're so eager to undo the decision.
If anyone was actually using their Hulu sub to watch Kimmel his ratings wouldn't be in the toilet.
Sweet Baby may be gone but remember they were brought in early on to assist with fucking this title up. Looks like Sony is still too dense to bother to undo the damage.
They'll keep announcing the newest blackwashed characters they've added to a desperate adaptation of some Hollywood hit movie they're trying to piggyback, thinking they're owning the haters and making an artistic, virtuous stand while patting themselves on the back and ignoring the fact that nobody asked for it and they aren't selling any seats.
They'll internalize the disappointment and failure, blame it on Trump and white people, and continue believing that when New York becomes a communist stronghold, they'll still have their chance to shine because plays are an important part of life in the commune.
He's got more money than sense and can afford to flat out buy any girl he wants, yet he's spending the money on trying to play the conventionally attractive angle. This is just pathetic hubris.
Between their crying about the death of free speech and the rise of censorship, I have yet to see someone point out that their hero Joe Biden tried to create a literal Ministry of Truth in 2022. It was blocked by a federal court because they blatantly lied about its involvement being limited to "disinformation originating from outside the US" while documenting plans to use it as a filter for US social media and network news - exactly what they're accusing everyone else of doing.
With all the other background malarkey that was going on, that one just fell down the memory hole.
Another J who thought he had plot armor.
That pic is photoshopped but in a way that's more fitting. Nothing makes libs drool like constructing a fictional scenario or character and rallying behind it, virtue signaling and reddit posting the whole time.
This likely happened with Stephen King's approval. He's as deranged as any other lefty icon and just as eager to ruin his life's work to suit their trendy narratives. Welcome to Derry looks the same, so far all of the teasers and casting would have you think Derry was a black town that somehow turned white by the time the original movie comes around. It's desperate, sloppy, and dishonest.
I can't find it but some trans was bragging about getting corpse flesh 'mesh' implanted as vaginal lining and calling it "cool and cyberpunk" and they drooled and clapped for it like trained seals.
It's pretty obvious that they have this avenue of judgment packed exclusively with their own people; doctors, counselors, and bullshit social workers whose personal crusade is to get these parasites out of these treatment buildings and back onto the streets as quickly as possible as some form of reparations via compassionate exception. It's how we ended up in this mess to begin with.
Theyre willing to openly enable, support, and encourage murderers but you're supposed to believe that lying is somehow not in their toolkit.
Flesh may cross the portal and seek its master, Death.
Flesh may go where death has trod, and challenge like Scheherazade,
He who reigns beneath the sod, to spare a mortal's breath
From King's Quest VII: Heir today, gone tomorrow. I've had this in my head for decades.
Babbages was a very early PC shop that sold everything from printers to parts to office software to games, and there weren't tons of games back then so you could spend hours in there reading the giant boxes they came in with posters and books and stacks of floppy disks banded together, looking at screenshots, and asking the staff if they were any good. There was maybe one or two magazines on pc gaming at the time, and there was a sense of wonder and suspense buying something, getting it running, and finding out the hard way if it was a sleeper hit or dog shit. It was great.
Their idea of a great female lead is to make her as toxic as they imagine men are, then make her kick men's asses. The left is all about revenge disguised as justice. It's why they're always painting themselves as the underdogs, the resistance, the victims - it justifies their thirst for violence without that pesky guilty conscience baggage.
