NeoGAF is woke trash

While that specific cringe lefty "look" still haunts games in 2026, I will laugh at it. What I will not do, and I suspect many here refrain from, too, is calling the designers "fascists", or hoping they actually die, or whatever. I leave that sort of behaviour to the modern Left.

Basically the laughing will continue until the wokery is gone.
 
Is OP okay?

He has achieved full enlightenment, unlike you, you filthy heathen :messenger_tears_of_joy: :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Dude, do you even know how women work? Arjun (main character) was an alcoholic and cheated on Nitya. Like, that's a pretty good indication for why she had enough of men and fell in love with a woman - which is much more common for women, than men falling in love with other men after being in an abusive relationship with a woman.

Some of you guys are so simple minded, it's actually sad you think something is woke - just because you're so unenlightened.
 
The story in uncharted 4 is just bad.. the game itself is very good, the MP was also fun.

Uncharted 2 and 3 are great games .. 2 is unbeatable
I enjoyed UC4 story. Actually i enjoyed the game more than i thought.Must be because of the pirate theme, i love that shit.
 
Those games were much better before it all went to shit ... Im far from a blind Sony fanboy, the quality this gen dropped from a cliff, sony games are heavily focused on story, if the stories becomes woke slop the whole game suffers.

You just dont like sony games, dont expect people retroactively to hate it too just because now they are mostly inferior sequels with woke slop.
I don't believe he is talking about the franchises but more specific games. TLOU2 was hailed by many many people here as the best game ever from every point of view, there were some guys talking about the change in direction and dissing the game. Now you have much more people shitting on the game because of the direction it took.

The rest of the games he mentioned i don't have a clue, i installed GoW and it's just not for me, i have no idea why people shit on the game or not or if it is woke or whatever, i just didn't like the way it is structured, might give it another go sometime. Same with Horizon.
 
Is OP okay?

In my opinion, if the OP got so triggered and upset over people posting in a video game forum, then no, they are not okay. Nothing to do with anyone here though, and nothing some self reflection and re-centering of the mind couldn't help out with.

I wish they had not requested a ban so the OP could maybe calm down some and actually discuss things rather than retreat into a bubble or "safe space", but oh well.
 
What?? You're looking for the treasure of Henry Avery, the last location is a pirate island.
Christ, you're right, I get it now.

Been a while man lol. So that part at the end with the crumbling buildings and what not right?

The story didn't stick with me for some reason -_-

I only played this Uncharted, but i was marvelled by the hole pirate treasure hunting story. I understand people much prefer the 2nd one and don't think too highly of UC4.

I have nothing against the story in it persay, it just didn't stick with me for some reason.

In fairness.....none of them did, but I did prefer the writing style of 2 more than 4, I'll admit.

I'm also biased as I adore Amy Hennig, so there's that.

Yeah, that's what i was trying to getting at. It seems to me, UC2 story stuck more with people and a majority prefers 2 to 4 by some margin. I never liked cinematic story games but for some reason, UC4 really stuck with me and i loved the game.

Question, are you a parent?

I find that people tend to like it more if they're a parent, such was certainly the case for me. Probably a big part of me loving The Last of Us and Uncharted 4 was due to the strong paternal vibe of those games, or at least that's how I perceived the vibe at the time. Now, for some reason I find that they ring hollow for me considering who wrote them, but that's just my biases getting in the way....which I can do nothing more than recognize and be honest about them I suppose.

Finish it and remember that there's only one game in the series. No matter what anyone tells you, there definitely isn't a sequel, ok?

The game does mean more to parents, it's simply a fact. Also, let me know when you beat the game if you would have done things the way Joel did. I already know the answer as I know how much you love your kid, same as me with mine, but I'll enjoy hearing your confirmation when you get there :D

Will do.
 
I have plenty of "woke" opinions, but I keep them to myself because I post in the video game section of this board and they don't usually belong in the conversations I have.

I just love video games, man.

I think games should be as apolitical as possible.

Just tell the good story, don't try to preach people...
 
I genuinely hate that this guy had a Marathon profile picture. That game gets enough hate and woke-accusations here as it is without being lumped in with this shit.

There is a kernel of truth to the rant but this is not the way have that message be taken seriously. So melodramatic.
 
U gotta look at it from logical pov- if u for example defend stupid move of publisher/devstudio, and ppl call that move out and call u out, giving arguments, no1 on here silences/bans u, so u are free to respond, we can see it when for example man_in_boxes can respond in some gaas topics vs 20 ppl at once, he isnt right but he can voice his opinion, present his pov and arguments for it.

Now on rainbow forum if u are against particular ideology being pushed in certain games or voice ur support for games that cater to male audience , mildly even, w/o cursning or personal insults of any kind, u are imediately perma banned, ur post is removed, u get insta-silenced, thats huge difference vs discussions here where all kinds of diverse opinions are allowed and even encouraged :messenger_smiling_hearts:

Thats actual tollerance- u dont agree with something/some1 on particular topic, but u are still adult enough to have discussion about it, u tolerate its existence, yes u can post funny meme/gif about it but thats fine :P
Btw- last defense against ceonzorship(and believe me, i know, i was born and grew up in communist poland) is comedy, comedy allows us to laugh at tabu topics and voice our opinions in a funny way, once even comedy isnt allowed u know dictatorship/totalitarism is in full swing.
Yep. Years ago, I got permabanned for the crime of finding an Angry Joe TLoU2 review funny. ( I think he just reuploaded his old TLoU2 review but he increased the saturation or something. I don't remember.)
 
The people that try and claim moral superiority on others for calling out the ever-devolving "progressive" ideologies that has infested every facet of media and entertainment, are the same people who either pushed for it or said nothing as it ruined everything over the years.
Don't let some ideologically captured sheep try and emotionally blackmail you because you dare to discuss what merits a good game these days - it's a discussion forum.

Industries banked on it, in some cases were incentivized to push it - and that has come to an end. We are now witnessing the fallout. Studios who championed identity politics as their guiding principal over making great games and art are now shuttering in droves and they have the audacity to blame the people they shit on for not buying their slop.

Turns out the people who want all their representation jammed into whatever the fuck you're making - ain't the ones buying, never were, and just want to see existing beloved IPs ruined.

It really has been incredible watching a media industry ruin all its existing good-will & credibility by alienating their loyal fanbases & consumers, turning them from a guarantee day one purchase to a "wait and see".
They made their bed and can lie in it.
Beautifully put

Bruh, you haven't disappointed me yet. Your posts are almost always a banger.
 
Genuinely can't imagine being this triggered by other peoples opinions

I agree, but as much as I hate admitting it, every now and then a comment slips through and actually gets under my skin. Usually I just go have a smoke and come back chilled instead of crashing out and going full retard. :messenger_winking:

Now that I think about it I don't remember ever being banned all those years. Maybe once and it was temporary but I'm not sure. Even though I've had my share of rages they were mostly directed at companies rather than other members.

The funny part is, most of us don't care about politics in games. It's the ham-fisted modern day culture war politics that are so disgusting to most of us. Metal Gear, for example, has a ton of politics and political commentary but it's done in an intelligent and mature manner that modern day leftist developers couldn't replicate on their best days. It's the difference between being a game developer who happens to use political themes and being an agenda driven activist who happens to make games.
 
And about this 'hive mind' argument people keep throwing around, no kidding. Humans tend to gather with like-minded people, so of course you're going to see some symmetry within a group. With that in mind, I made sure to lurk around to make sure this table wasn't loaded with punk ass bitches. It was only then I decided to lay my hat down and play poker. Kna mean? I can't be seen around those......
