Honestly, I was waiting for it when it releases on PC, but then I saw the absurd amount of cutscenes in the game. I can tolerate big cutscenes at the beginning to setup characters, their relations, the world building, etc., but the whole game is "Fight 3 pack of useless mobs, fight a cool boss, then watch cutscenes for 40mn. Oh, you're done with the cutscenes, ok walk there, then watch more cutscenes" Repeat that like 30 times and that's FF16. Oh, and add fetch quests as side quests too.
Sorry, that's not a game to me. I don't care how good the characters or the story is, it's a video game, I want to play it. The fact that the gameplay is good is even more frustrating, cause you just want to play and do cool combos, but the game is just like "Nope, sit there, enjoy the drama". Imagine Doom or DMC but you only play 1 out of 4 levels, the other 3 are just cutscenes.
He looks like he got some implants, so I disagree. Them being real boobs or not is irrelevant here, and it's not about "affirming" his gender either. If you don't agree with that, imagine this exact situation but with opposite gender with a FTM trans -> "Oh look, I have a fake dick on my crotch, but if you want me to cover it, you admit that it's real and thus that I'm male!".
If I find a movie with an all-black cast can I whine they're portraying a reality where whites don't exist?
Wasn't that the whole point of The Wiz? An all black "re-imagining" of the Wizard of Oz. I'm fairly sure there are a few other movies like this.
Couldn't visit my family back in France until June 2022, couldn't go take a drink with my coworkers, used emergency powers when people gathered to fight federal vaccine mandate (my bank probably flagged me to the government because I donated) claiming it was "Terrorism", insulted unvaccinated as "misogynists, racists" followed with a "Do we tolerate those people?" , couldn't go outside after 6 PM (technically not him but Legault, but he never said or did anything against that), fired all government and medical workers who weren't vaccinated.
Of course he didn't force anyone.
To be honest, I'm kind of surprised I wasn't asked to choose to kill myself as a alternative option for covid vaccine.
By the way, remember when saying "There are potential harmful side effect" was considered harmful misinformation followed by a ban?
Video games reduce the physical strength and endurance needed in exchange for higher mental aptitude like strategies, innovations, reactions / body coordinations and staying focused under heavy stress, and guess what? Men still dominate that too. There was a famous event about a women only team trying to compete in a pro-tournament in League of Legends, actually practiced seriously and had professional coaching and everything, they never won any single match but won the record for fastest loss.
I don't know that restaurant, but if that's just a restaurant, who cares. They are still dressed up, and wouldn't be very shocking if they were outside like that in public. That's basically an outfit at least 20% of all women wear in summer.
Should we stop kids from going to the beach because there are women in bikinis over there? That's just absurd.
Last time I checked, restaurants weren't the one with text saying "Lick where my pee comes from" or whatever bullshit message that was.
Leftist nonsense is ideology, religion is ideology with a spiritual twist. Congrats, you're now just throwing dogma against dogma and are easily dismissed for the same reasons leftists are totally and obviously wrong -- they can't objectively back up shit and they live in a fantasy land.
Ideologies are just set of beliefs and values shared by people. Atheism is an ideology, so is Agnosticism, for instance. We're always throwing dogma against dogma no matter what, especially when it comes to politics / morals / ethics / etc.
Even if you focus 100% on science, there's many things science will never be able to explain, and realistically our science is more often wrong than right anyway. We also saw that with Covid, it's just as easy to manipulate science as it is to manipulate any religion (or lack of). Basically, it's super easy to turn science into yet another ideology, because humans always go back to simple ideas that are easy to remember.
Also, science is amoral, it won't be able to tell you if killing someone is ok or not. It won't be able to tell you if drag queens shows are ok or not. You know what can? The Bible and the Word of God, something that helped create the foundations of civilization and managed to survive and thrive through thousands of generations already. Granted its success over the entire world and how it helped us reach this point where people can complain about their own freedom, I'd say it's proved it's reliable at this point.
I mean, even if it wasn't woke, I'm not for it anyway. The original game still holds up very well, even on the graphics, there's no need for a remake. Out of all genres, horror games are actually the one which profits the most out of "low graphics", since it makes you imagine even more threats. Just compare how terrifying Silent Hill 1 with cubic polygons is compared to Calisto Protocol full of stuttering jump scares. Sure, let's consume the same games over and over again, I'm sure it's opening a great future.
However, while I generally like Synthetic Man's videos, I think he's really starting to get too full of anger. Other people in this thread just says he's basically an "Anti-SJW" and I kind of agree, whatever doesn't go 100% his ways must be retard wokeshit. The problem is, he's building his audience to be as angry as he his on everything, and he's going to get stuck in that in the future every time he tries to do some more positive stuff.
Meanwhile, he absolutely refuses to get good indie games a chance, cause "That's not the AAA experience that I want.". Well, if you can't give good stuff a chance, I honestly don't care how much you cry about the bad stuff. You didn't need to buy the game to see how woke it is, so why buy it and show it to the world and give it more PR? How about you show instead what a good non-woke horror game actually is?
"Love is love, except on Valentine's day, where love is hate speech"
Also, wtf is this:
Last January, teacher Carolyn Burjoski was forcibly silenced at a board meeting and handed a “stay-at-home” order after she raised concerns about illustrated storybooks in school libraries that dismissed the medical side-effects of gender transitioning — or inferred that a lack of sexual thoughts may be a sign of an asexual gender identity. “Maybe Rick (the protagonist in one book) doesn’t have sexual feelings yet because he is a child,” said Burjoski shortly before her microphone was cut off.
Yep, a totally normal school. Nothing to worry about the poor children getting "educated" there.
Also missing is his net worth basically more than doubling since beginning of covid. Wow, that guy who made like $60 billions off untested gene therapy, the same guy who said he wanted to use vaccines to lower world population, sure is generous!
The answer I've always heard was "More diverse people mean more diverse creative solutions, which in turns means higher chance of success and more money.". As in, they truly think white people can only come up with solutions A, B or C, and if you want D or E, you have to have black people.
Don't bother telling them about "diversity of opinions or beliefs" though, you'll get REEEEEEEEEEEEE'd very quickly.
That reminds me of that video from Mark Dice where he ask people in the street to sign his petition to ban the Bible completely, and people just signed it without asking questions at all.
Just give it a little bit more time before the entire book is actually banned, and people will clap for it as "freedom against white supremacy". This is just the preparation of the slippery slopes, as we've seen countless examples so far.
“This document is not the forum for religious debate, but the bible contains other material recognizing slavery (Exodus 21:7), the death sentence (Exodus 35:2 and Leviticus 24:16) and cannibalism (Deuteronomy 28:27).
Funny how they keep slamming down on Christianity, when all those passages are from the Pentateuch / Torah / Tawrat , basically shared books with Judaism or Islam.
Vaxxed: Stressed because of "cyber bullying and mean tweets", die from blood clots because of stress.
Unvaxxed: After losing their jobs, having their bank accounts frozen, being despised and dehumanized by the majority of people, having each of their liberty stolen one by one, and/or unable to leave even their own country, no stress at all, 100% healthy, still alive.
If what he's saying is true (it obviously isn't, but let's pretend), clearly he's saying being unvaxxed means you're basically superman and nothing will ever get to you. The entire world can hate you, and you'll still be perfectly fine. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me, rather than being stressed and dying because "anonymous people online, who may actually just be bots, are mean to me".
Honestly, can't be worse that EA/Acti/Ubi/etc.
However, immediate problem: They seem to already think "Let's spend a whole bunch of money to hire the 'best people' and make good games". This strategy simply doesn't work, just look at Amazon or Google with infinite money, yet somehow releasing some of the worst trash (remember Crucible lol? And Stadia just died today).
Let's wait and see.
Look, when NPCs start to defend grooming, pedophilia, or destroying childhood with hormone blockers and stuff like that, I don't know what to tell you, that's pure evil. I don't care if they are "just NPCs like you and me" or whatever, I'm not defending that kind of thing, but they are. That makes them vastly more evil. If some NPCs start defending murders and stuff like that, are you still going to say "Look, they are just NPCs, they aren't more vile than you or me"?
I don't think a lot of people here would underestimate the power of propaganda, when we saw what happened with covid just 2-3 years ago. We all have realized how easy it was it manipulate the entire planet.
