Can't let reality intrude on a culture war that will totally change video games for the better!Just like the topic about SH2 and Angela's design criticism, is anyone really expecting them to make significant changes this late into development?
Concorde is not for me as I don't enjoy the genre.
But I learned my lesson writing off a game when I was convinced Helldivers 2 would be DOA if it didn't release on PS+.
Gamers have a very bad record in predicting what will, and will not, be a success.
My gut feeling is Concorde will be a mega-hit and piss off a lot of folk.
it's about values. I don't want propaganda in my games.
was the reception on helldivers pre release not great?
I try to ignore games with propaganda, not now, not 10 years ago, not 20 years ago, but they are pretty easy to detect now.That's been happening for the past 25 years!!! Why did you start caring about propaganda in games now?

Just to tackle the first one, Halo is pretty much a declaration of the supremacy of US foreign policy and the veneration of military force to solve diplomatic disputes. Almost all video games are: they assume the moral and military primacy of Western political norms and almost always take a 'might is right' view of foreign policy. Has it never struck you as odd that the hero is never the representative of a non-Western, non-capitalistic, non-militarized nation? Why we do we never get to play a socialist hero, destroying the oppressive regime of capitalism? Why do we never solve disputes diplomatically? Why are the enemies always crazed tyrants rather than merely people who view the world differently?What was the propaganda in Halo, Mass Effect, and Splinter Cell?
I dont think the typical studio making a twitchy shooter or RTS game is trying to sway gamers around the world to support the US Army.Just to tackle the first one, Halo is pretty much a declaration of the supremacy of US foreign policy and the veneration of military force to solve diplomatic disputes.

Watch me abandon gaming if this game doesn't flop...

They were meh but not negative.

There, you made a misgendwring typoThey should ignore it if the game is good
Let the beta speak for himself
I mean, I did - lots of non-Americans were saying this about games like Call of Duty way back in the noughts - Yahtzee Croshaw made the point in most reviews from that period.Why did literally 0 people ever make this claim before 2020?
US military has been using gaming to recruit for years now - especially eSports and streaming channels.I dont think the typical studio making a twitchy shooter or RTS game is trying to sway gamers around the world to support the US Army.
That's just what the Illuminati wants you to thinkI dont think the typical studio making a twitchy shooter or RTS game is trying to sway gamers around the world to support the US Army.

I guess that trailer only has 4,000 upvotes and 42,000 downvotes lolIgnoring the controversy around characters, this does not look fun to play at all.
It's fine if it fails. Not everything is destined to be a hit.
