One problem I have with these observations is that they completely miss the part that these women are from entirely new generations. With different media exposures and raising. Women are not collectively some ancient immortal entity. What might have been considered bad in one generation is not guaranteed to be carried on to the next. Hell, it's usually the opposite for the sake of sticking it to parents.
I can't trust reviews period. You're either dealing with paid shills with biased reviews, or randos with a bone to pick and can't get past their own personal political views. God damn it do I miss Total Biscuit.... I could listen to that man complain about FoV for days....
It's fine until you have to rescue Sam's dads' dildo collection from a cave shaped like a butthole.
I was just about ready to believe you. Not much surprises me anymore, buuut yeah.. Bethesda wouldn't go so far... Cyberpunk though....
Yeah, I am aware of the hate bandwagon trend. Go to any launch day steam forum for any game with even a hint of bad public relations and people go fucking rabid with it. I just kinda hate how the whole anti woke thing is blinding people to a point that they seem to be seeing it even in places it isn't happening. They are literally turning into the monsters they want to fight. Like, I almost didn't even give Baldur's Gate 3 a shot because of how crazy people were acting about it. It painted the game in such a negative light for me that I almost really missed out of a legitimately good game.
But you're right... gamers like a good shit fling. I need to stop standing in the crossfire.
Maybe I just haven't gotten far enough, but I haven't really seen anything so egregious. Yeah, it's annoying to see the gay flirt options, but it's there for someone to click I guess. Though the second Barret started opening up about his dead gay lover (spoilers?) I tabbed and walked away. Couldn't possibly care less. As a character, the dude is pretty cool, but the gay thing just came out of fucking nowhere.
As for Sarah... Fucking "I don't mind if you do some shady shit from time to time, because some rules need to be bent" lying judgmental bitchy Sarah... I just dumped her ass in the ship and ignored her. Sarah was really the only woman in the game to really get on my nerves. What's her face running the UC was a bit of a pill, but she's pretty much a corpo, so what do you expect? Gender wouldn't change that.
IF I even bother bringing a companion anywhere, I just go for my Robot Boy. He doesn't judge and he rarely ever chimes in mid convo to interrupt. He's a good lad. He's built like an American football player, so he does body block me at times though. I miss my glitchy FO4 dog.... If anyone wants to point me in the direction of a doggo companion you'd be doing me a real solid.
Now if I could only get everyone on the ship to not verbally assault me at the same god damn time when I'm taking off. Every motherfucker has to have something to yammer on about. Often times ad nauseam.
They expected a group of people that by in large have very right wing-like beliefs to act as their pocket pet? I am befuddled at how anyone could be so blind. What Islamophobes /s. Yeah, I haven't forgotten about that little hot topic that just magickly poofed out to thin air. Fickle fucks...
I literally can't help but hear the Always Sunny title card music.
