It won't matter because sales are in the toilet. I read that preorders for it were a fraction of Assassin's Creed Shadows.
Within a week, sales will be dead either way. They can buy reviews but the gamers still control the reception, which is bound to be disastrous.
I'm fully siding with the Xenos at this point. I'll eat healthy and hope that the chestburster comes out carb loaded and jacked up on protein powder.
In the trailer she says her name is (shit you not) "Zula Hendrix" and she says "Not once will I bow my head. I will carve my name into this planet with a smoking crater!" Also the voice actress is pushing the black accent so hard it's difficult to understand.
Stunning. Brave. Powerful.
Have you seen the trailer? You play as an angry black female marine, who is strong and defiant, finding the inner strumpf to resist the alien colonizers.
It all leads to black on black violence.
Fucking game is already DOA.
"We only misinform, misquote, cite empty sources, exaggerate, manipulate data, censor, cancel, blackout and gaslight because it's for your own good!"
This sounds like a headline Tzeentch would endorse.
Nothing is safe. They're so bankrupt for ideas they're eyeing those books, but not out of respect. They'll steal a character or loosely adapt an arc and pack it with so much baggage it will be ruined not only by what Disney does, but by soyboy modern fans who are now fully committed to how awesome that character is, but only the modern version played by either a Hollywood machine celebrity or complete unknown diversity hire, which ends up nothing like the source book.
Did they do Thrawn any justice? Or did they just pluck him from the book and just go their own way? Honest question. Didn't watch it.
If the aesthetic is similar, it's because anime is generally stylized for younger audiences and "black art" never matures past the street graffiti they do as kids.
Seriously. The Spider-Man 2 game had quests to find and appreciate "authentic bipoc art" around the city. Graffiti, all of it.
It's more likely the stock dropped due to a lack of a portion of daily income, seeing as Lizzo was busy addressing Detroit on Kamala's behalf and had her second lunch cut short.
They fucked the game up. Missions about spraying graffiti. Missions begging us to recognize black musicians. Missions helping gays set up a date. Missions glorifying hideous BIPOC art. Villains killed offscreen. Villains happily reformed and rehabilitated. Black Cat retconned to a lesbian. MJ's fucking man-face. Peter just giving up to let Miles take over (Pass the power!)
You can tell some of the team genuinely wanted to make a good game (Tony Todd as Venom is an excellent cast) but it's got so much SJW agenda baggage built into it sucks the fun right out. I don't have high hopes for Wolverine.
I suspect they read just enough of it to discern whether it's in line with their idea or not, then they just assume it's a quality take by the size of the text block. A daunting, banal, imposing wall of text is an unassailable argument.
Chokers are a red flag because of this. The trannies love them. The problem is that they also love to claim that fictional characters who wear them are also trans.
I don't know but whatever they say he did, he did it.
So we were spared her shitty acting, an accusing stare, or the last thing you see before being dragged into a back alley by a PoC with evil intent.
Leftists don't want to see it because it's about Trump and they are comfortable in their self-righteous assessment that he's the worst bad evil man since ever so they're not going to pay to see it. In their heads it's for the right to see and learn from how bad the bad orange man is, and then they should feel bad and go home and self immolate.
The right won't see it because it's a 100% bullshit vanity project that's not even dressed up properly as a biopic because it's not close enough to truth to qualify.
It's got nothing for everyone.
A friend made it through 4 episodes before he bailed. It's 100% Netflix girlboss shit. The men are stupid and expendable, hero woman can kill terminators without breaking a sweat. It's just more trash for the pile.
She/Her Boone
The thing about this remake was that the initial reveal was also the announcement that it was compromised by the uglification consultants, and getting hyped for it became difficult. Silent Hill was one of the series from what in retrospect is turning out to be a golden age of gaming, and even people I know who were super fans of the originals are giving this a pass. Even in small concessions, woke is woke, and woke fatigue turned into exhaustion a long time ago.
Resorting to poisoning nostalgia is getting tired and we should not be rewarding modern publishers for it. It just gives them incentive to revive peacefully resting IPs and turn them into garbage. When this fad fades away, we'll talk.
A "Chassard" sounds like some kind of weird knot or tumor that would grow on a nutsack.
"Can't bullshit a bullshitter."
To be fair, any woman who chooses a screen name with the word Hammer in it should come off as an instant red flag.
The frustration when the mount finally drops and it just somehow happens to go to the guild leader's wife despite the roll.
Discomfort is the payoff to so many of the left. They want to "burn the industry to the ground. The goal is to make white people cry." Discomfort is being weaponized by an entire generation of crybullies with daddy issues who honestly believe they're owed the point of being on the moral high ground. They love it.
The sad part for us is the hypocrisy that this is perfectly acceptable against you. It's the implied superiority - their values are just more important. Hypocrisy as a business tactic is toxic. After these decades of gaming, supporting, funding, and actually giving a shit, gaming consumers deserve more respect and credit for making the industry a success. Instead, we're handed this blind hypocrisy and told to shut up when we should have a say in the matter.
If there even is a 'modern audience', they are writhing, infantile husks who think art and entertainment amount to controlling others and making them as miserable as themselves.
And they say modern dating is starting to resemble little more than a job interview.
