Mother fuckers don't understand how like in 5 years people are look back at this game, Veilguard, Suicide Squad, and so many many others and wonder...

What the fuck was the AAA industry on? No, people will ponder what the fuck was going on with Game Devs and the industry.

Like it will be a legit curiosity how for so many years they made the stupid as fuck decisions and hemorrhaged millions if not billions on these ideas.

How they wasted and squandered opportunities to trend chase and go into some bizarro weird preachy realm of vanity politics. And investors let them do this.
It’s sad and hilarious how they all drank the “white male gamers were a mistake” kool aid at the same time, then all proceeded to make the exact same retarded decisions in response.

Cram ugly diverse Strong Woman leads and intersectional hierarchy into fucking everything.

Hell, has there even been ONE original male protagonist introduced this generation from a western dev? Only ones I can think of are Yasuke and that generic white guy from Immortals of Aveum. Meanwhile we got Star Wars Outlaws, TLOU2, Interstellar, Flintlock, Dustborn, Forspoken, Returnal, Fable, Unknown 9 Awakening, Witcher 4, Lost Records, Goodbye Volcano High, Horizon… probably lots more.

Saros, from the same company as Returnal.
TLOU2 is not this gen, though? And Interstellar is a Christopher Nolan film starring a white male protagonist...

Henry from Kingdom Come comes to mind, but he might the exception that proves your rule...

Edit : and V of course ! he is from this gen since no one sane of mind would have played Cyberpunk on PS4 (i did)

What the hell was ET's budget for it to be considered a massive failure at 1.5mil sold?

Up until CDs, cost of making the games was more, a lot more, than the actual costs to develop. It was by far the biggest risk. You also needed a significant lead time and had to guess what you needed. Too many copies, the game was a money pit. Too few, leave money on the table and it takes a long time to fill that demand.

This actually led to a mini-slump in 1995 as the customers were rapidly transitioning to 32-bit and a lot of companies screwed up on their 16-bit game orders.

Same thing happened with MMOs. Look at all the junk that the industry pushed out after WoW. Now it looks like insanity. But for some reason they made the same mistake and you even had a shill on this website claiming this was a good thing.

Henry is a good one. V can be either male or female.

V is a good looking (talking about trailer V not those handsome squidward abominations you can create) protagonist who isn't neutered or a self-flagellating looser (well this point is arguable but it makes sense storywise). That is why i added him.

I'm not scare of Sony fanboys.
Nobody is scared until they have a half pigeon half sheep hybrid running toward them at full speed
