imagine thinking that a triple A video game connected to one of the most profitable media franchises of all time doesn’t already have the largest spotlight imaginable. i guarantee that my mother is aware that shit exists.
It DESERVES a spotlight.
It’s mid. Deal with it.
It is incredibly mid. My wife played it and outside of some areas she said it was boring and repetitive
Wot if ur AAA Ubisoft-style bloated action adventure was based on a problematic YA series?
It still could have been fine I guess the way you described it but they were like, “Hmmm what if we expounded upon and doubled down on this universe’s racism. Eureka! In this family friendly game about a beloved international franchise, players can join the war on racism . . . on the side of racism!!”
Meanwhile the game where you can be in queer polyam relationships with your entire party and it’s fine is going to win most of the awards. Go woke get paid, apparently.
I don’t think so?
queer polyam relationships with your entire party
I think it’s just the bear drood +1, but it’s been quite a few patches and hotfixes since I last played.
Go woke get paid, apparently.
Or fuck, just write some dialogue that isn’t more thin and wooden than an IKEA bedroom suite.
Much like Disco Elysium, the game does afford you plenty of opportunities to be a pig, a freak, and a sadistic asshole by turns (hell, they even give you a background that’s carte blanche murder-hobo). There’s no reason Hogwarts-heads can’t live out their most fascist fantasies by playing a full team of slavish dogmatic Githyanki or rolling Trad Clerics who go from scene to scene and murdering every White Knight and Goth Girl they come across. Its all available to you, if you don’t mind short-circuiting a bunch of fun cut scenes.
Half the joke of BG3 is how accommodating it is to virtually every play style you can imagine by padding out the plot. You’d never know it was Woke unless you insisted on staring over someone’s shoulder through their entire play.
It’s not enough to be able to choose to be a fascist piece of shit, other options must be locked from the player entirely to satisfy
See their reaction to Kingdom Come: Deliverance for instance
I’ve seeded 3 tb, hope it helped 20 people to find their 1 hour of happiness
If it’s such a good game, why havent i heard anyone try and spoil it?
Destiny had a dogshit pile of a story, yet i know about what’s going on in it.
There were a significant amount of people trying to spoil the game as some way to spite JK Rowling. It was spoiled for me online while my SO was playing it. Here’s a Google search for you to browse with many articles and SM posts warning spoilers.
You might consider that you don’t know everything that happens online, and just because you’re unaware of something doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.
Some if us were doing that when it came out, I think one of the professors dies or was evil or something like that
This is the method of protest or affecting change that you chose? Being a spoiler troll?
I remember trying to spoil it, but snake already killed dumbolddoor, I mean how many more random moody professors going postal is going to be a surprise?
I still fondly remember when a new harry potter book was released in the aughts, trolls on SomethingAwful were spamming “snape kills dumbledore” everywhere and so the mods threatened bans for anyone who didn’t use spoiler tags. Some clever troll posted [SPOILER]SNAPE KILLS DUMBLEDORE[/SPOILER] as a thread title, spoiler tags don’t work in titles, mods left it up because why not.
