Yup, thats an actual issue, leftists support and call for violence vs ppl with different opinions/worldview.
I know of a guy who does nazi salutes(as a joke/showing he isnt bought by particular country near golan highs) and all kinds of shit(like calling black ppl monkeys, and thats just tip of an iceberg) on his streams, and would be considered super right wing extremist by every1(not just far leftists) and even this guy is very opposed to any kind of violence, he actually bans paying supporters from his platform on the spot for any calls for violence(he is also former fbi agent, super ez to find but i wont name him, ppl who know him will get reference imediately), his words when asked about it are- we dont need violence since we got the truth on our side, so lets just make more ppl aware
The only "right wing extremists" open to using violence against ppl with other believes would probably be some neonazi motorbike gang or literal inmates in high security prison who are in the "white power" prison gang/crew and tatoo themselfs with hackenkreuz logo's, hitler's face and such, but those kind of ppl are actual career criminals, thats bit different from avg or even "extreme" rightwinger, no?

It's gonna be filled with woke shit for sure. But it'll be a cultural phenomenon when it releases, it's gonna be hard to avoid it, friends will bother you about it, and there'll be references everywhere, if they let me still free roam and do my own thing then i'll still be happy.
All this modern slop trash shit however can be easily avoided, i'll be just fine not playing Ghost of Yotei, it's not doing anything interesting, it's bland and uninspired, and now we know it's being made by bloodthirsty nutjobs so there is literally nothing about it that attracts me, the same as like 90% of shit releasing today.
I really hope no one at IO says something because i thought the bond game looks pretty cool, but if they are blood thirsty maniacs too, then again i can easily skip. I've got enough of a life outside of gaming to keep me happy, gaming was just a bonus.

If its like cyberpunk that is there but dosent really affect your choices or gameplay in general than its ok for me also... if its like on veilguard or spiderman 2.. than its a big nope for me unfortunately.

I think I have to make a grander point in the scheme of things and I've already stated my background and who I'm married to and I'm not the person who has changed and become so radical but when you see how, as some have brought up, the way the media covered George floyd versus the way the media covers Charlie Kirk, it's a bit this heartening considering the record and what we know about George Floyd versus what we know about Charlie kirk. Yeah one person started this whole movement which has been piggybacked and perverted like the black lives matter thing versus somebody that never committed crimes and was out there for open debate on views that some people don't really want to talk about while also preaching the gospel.
Not everything needs to be over politicize but when you talking about the church, and you've seen some of these preachers out there who are unfortunately looking at this through the same racial lens, it's a bit discouraging because there's a flock of people that follow what these people say on top of what we've seen out there and bad parenting that doesn't teach their kids entirely correctly and perverts their minds.
For me, because I have young kids again, this stuff really matters. And I will take some of the words of Robert f Kennedy Jr and say that you have to love your kids more than you hate each other. I don't know what else could Pierce you anymore and if it doesn't touch you enough when you hear stuff like that or when you see those videos that show those two little girls that were almost celebrating somebody dying or when you see the video of Charlie Kirk with his little daughter at the restaurant, I cannot see why somebody wouldn't have the heart to snap into some sense of compassion and common Sense.
Everybody has to realize that we can be better people and there's examples like this or ones in the past that were Martyrs for their own cause, that should leave you with an impact of trying to be a better person for everybody and not specifically your own race.
It's such a hypocrisy when you have people claim this and use this, but then when a situation like this comes up they don't exercise the same decency they would expect if the shoe was on the other foot. This is where some of these cultures and races have to take accountability for their own action and do better. This isn't 1950 anymore, we are in 2025 and the same excuses and everything that a migrant would have had back then just like a minority would have now, they just don't fly anymore.
And unfortunately a message like what I just said will seem very extreme to some but it's just a rational common Sense take on things because I wouldn't have any skin in the game to even say this if it wasn't for the way the media and people put out these opinions that cause a divide like this. And I will go back to saying that it's predominantly on the left and there is numbers and statistics to prove this and then you see those poles that say a certain percentage on the left condones violence and it's like 3% on the right. I don't care what side you're on, words talk and number screen. We've had a problem and the media has exacerbated everything and put the whole gasoline can on something that should have never got to this point.
There is some legitimately hard truths that people need to face and this country is expected to just rub every races and every culture is back but my observations are you don't see the same level of reciprocity from those countries out there in Europe South America or South Africa that you see here but we are expected to bend the knee to all these different things and I guarantee you that same level of civility and humanity isn't being exhibited in those other countries for a race or a culture that is opposite of theirs. Those are some harsh realities and America needs to start taking care of its own people and heal here so we don't get more of these types of people who kill someone for a difference of opinion.

I think they are having enough time to partially correct the course, at least i hope so.
Even the first trailer showed a lot of sexy bitches that are usually absent in every woke game except bg3 if we wanna call that one woke.

As a fellow Pole- we got milions of wokies here already, especially in bigger cities.
Smaller towns/villages u can still meet some ppl with traditional values, but midsize/bigger cities- woke virus is everywhere, especially spread among young women, since they are easiest to lie to and to influence.
Look at those maybe 12yo polish girls on a school trip already rapping about their pussies( most is in polish, altho they use english word "pussy" twice).

This is the correct answer. Some of the largest failures in the last couple years have been games that sold in the millions. The only metric that matters is how the game lives up to internal sales expectations, which we won't know. So the best we can do is compare it with the last game. Sales (and especially preorders) will be frontloaded by Era-type fundamentalists and a larger number of fans who played the first game and don't care about politics. Soon after that it will be clear internally what the impact was, but regardless of whether it's good or bad it will be marketed as a success. I'm guessing they will lose millions of units sold from all this, but who knows.

Yeah, Gen X and earlier Millennials are the most sane generations here (boomers too but some of them have communism nostalgia).
Looking at elections results I think PiS (right) and Konfederacja (far right) coalition is likely in 2027. I hope we get rid of Tusk and his band.
PiS will actively block all LGBT propaganda in schools that this government initiated.

Human rights and democracy were seriously on decline last time the right ruled Poland, just like in Hungary etc. That's what you want?
But maybe this is getting too political...

By June 2023, Part II had 6.7 million digital sales.
You should stop parroting this.
As for comparisons between Tsushima and Gotei, the former was launched during the COVID Boom, not saying that Gotei will match launch sales but it's tracking significantly high.

This video sent me through a filthy rabbit hole yesterday at work, i read the whole melina entry on destiny wiki and
A little snippet of what happened after she found out that divorce meant no more money from her human ATM :
"Melina reaches out to Destiny. She allegedly never truly wanted to get a divorce, and had recently received a message relating to her Sweden apartment. The Florida courts accepted the paperwork for their divorce, the day before Melina received a notice relating to her apartment. She claims he owes her money($100,000) for her apartment in Sweden. The two have a forty minute call later that day. During their conversation, Destiny compared himself to Neo, claiming he could detect each lie and pivot Melina made in real time. He challenged every assertion Melina presented, consistently asking for logs or evidence to back her claims, which she was unable to provide. Melina notably calls Destiny an emotionally stunted child that surrounds himself with yes-men during the call."
You can't make this shit up.

Human rights and democracy? Who told you this? That "authoritarian" government was elected by people and 8 years later people voted for other parties, this is 100% democracy. Human rights of migrants on Belarusian border? Current government don't care about them as well.
They politicized judicial system, that's for sure.

Yes, but having free and independent courts is pretty important in being a democracy. It's not only about free elections.

In the last 30 years courts in Poland are used by every government to punish the ones that previously ruled. They were always politicized but previous government was way too transparent and aggressive with what they have done. For normal folks nothing changes.
I'm not saying PiS (right) government was great, it had TONS of issues but it was still better than what we currently have. I always vote for the lesser evil.

Ouch. Poland seems the least furthest down the path of the Western European countries. Just goes to show not censoring culture shit was the greatest mistake made by European people in recent times. Censoring that shit with an iron fist in the 60s when it began to seep out would have possibly prevented our extinction. Oh well. At least we can die knowing we all fought for the very important value of allowing vulgarity in the public square.

I know that EU hated that government because it wasn't agreeing with a lot of their bullshit. Some of the stuff you heard was true and some of it was just propaganda.
Polish people like Americans are divided 50/50 between center left and center right but support for far left and far right is small.
Hungary on the other hand is going into very bad direction, it slowly turns into Russian vassal state, Orban needs to go away.
Propaganda about what?

How "bad" it was. Of course for EU leftists every right wing government is reincarnation of Hitler.
He is not Hitler but surely such government has an opinable vision how the whole society should work.

Yeah and this is in line with what majority of Polish people want.
PiS was "Right" but not far right. They even started many social programs (like giving money for having children) that are more in line with Left wing policies.
From my perspective many Eu countries are rules by leftists despite whatever those parties call themselves. Millions of unverified migrants don't scream "center right" to me.

Well, taking Sweden as an example we now have pretty much the most restrictive immigration laws in the EU. But no government here has tried to strip LGBTQ people of their rights or made the judicial system a political instrument.

Sony fires Ghost of Yotei artist, allegedly over Charlie Kirk joke
"Drew Harrison is no longer an employee of Sucker Punch Productions," Sony confirmedArticle: A senior artist on Ghost of Yotei has been fired, reportedly following a joke they made about Charlie Kirk's assassination.
As reported by Kotaku, Drew Harrison, a senior staff character lookdev and texture artist at Sucker Punch Productions, was allegedly fired less than 24 hours after making a joke on X regarding the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025.
In a now-deleted series of tweets, Harrison, a ten-year veteran of Sucker Punch Productions, claimed that she had been subject to a harassment campaign that included multiple anonymous phone calls following the post, with X users, such as Mark "Grummz" Kern, calling for a boycott of Ghost of Yotei and for Harrison to be let go from the studio.
On September 12, Harrison reported on X that she'd been fired.
"If standing up against fascism is what cost me my dream job I held for 10 years, I would do it again 100x stronger," Harrison wrote.
Sony confirmed in an email statement to Kotaku that it had parted ways with the artist.
"Drew Harrison is no longer an employee of Sucker Punch Productions," a spokesperson from Sony Interactive Entertainment told the publication.
On September 16, 2025, Sucker Punch Productions posted a new Ghost of Yotei trailer on X, which has seen numerous replies calling for a boycott of the game and multiple users posting "RIP Charlie Kirk."
Sony and Sucker Punch Productions are not the only game companies facing pressure to dismiss employees over posts regarding Charlie Kirk's death.
Square Enix, Warhammer/Games Workshop, Bethesda, and Activision Blizzard are among others facing backlash from some on social media.
In response to a thread listing Activision Blizzard employees who have been "trashing Charlie Kirk," X owner Elon Musk tagged Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in a post on September 12, 2025, asking, "What's going on here?"
Later that same day, Microsoft posted the following from its official X account:
"We're aware of the views expressed by a small subset of our employees regarding recent events. We take matters like this very seriously, and we are currently reviewing each individual situation. Comments celebrating violence against anyone are unacceptable and do not align with our values."
GamesIndustry.biz has contacted Sony for comment on this story.
They forgot to include her "joke" and the correct headline should have been -
Retarded Ghost of Yotei artist gets fired for making fun of the gruesome murder of Charlie Kirk

They just didn't allow LGBT+ lunatics to spread their propaganda on kids. They didn't take away any rights from them.
No government so far allowed gay marriage - even the most leftists ones. Society as a whole rejects a lot of "progressive things". Latest poll on same sex marriage act (in progress):
45% - no
44% - yes
11% - no opinion
This is my last post about this because we are going way offtopic here...

If globalists are deeply concerned about something,it means that something is GOOD.
ND is in a shaky situation. They need to really make an impact with Intergalactic or layoffs will happen. Neil has been ordered to come back and focus only on the damn game. I know narcissistic idiots usually don't care about putting their companies on the line but there must have been internal warnings for sure.
As for Yotei, it will sell decently, no doubt. It's a normie game after all. But any dream Sony had of this becoming their own Assassins Creed saga will be shattered fairly soon.

Why do this people has veto privileges is beyond me. The culprit (again) is France. We should have an EU elected government to prevent this kind of things.
Im convinced that's what happened to days gone.

What a crazy world where all these businesses and people are clearly afraid to say RIP to this guy, and express how assassinations of speakers in a public forum shouldn't be happening.
Like I said, I never really heard of the guy and I don't agree with a lot of the stuff ive seen / heard and watched from him, but being murdered in front of your kids and seeing such little support for those children and his family....fucking sickening.

Because they know that Kotaku would have spun the situation is Sony's favour. Furthermore, I'm not convinced that they actually did something meaningful.
Saying that she "is no longer an employee of Sucker Punch Productions" is quite vague, it doesn't mean that they necessarily fired her. If I were MBG I wouldn't be satisfied, I still would not cover the game.

As I said in other comments, I'm not even sure that they actually fired her and not just shuffled her around. They've been suspiciously vague, and I think that's intentional.
This is the first time since people are tracking this kind of stuff that I see a female in-game character model that looks better than the real life model instead of looking worse (much worse in some cases).
