This is what got us here in the first place. A very vocal group constantly raging on about oversexualised women, too many male leads and not enough gay representation. They've been afraid and this is the result of their virtue signalling.
Thats my point, both side gone so fucking paranoid that either game is "problematic" because the female character too good looking or the game is "woke" because you play as female or black character.
People watching older shows & playing older games has always been a thing it has nothing to do with the current state of shows & games . The older stuff is just more accessible now than it used to be.You think the statistics showing people playing older games and watching older TV shows and films is because their mind is corrupt and gaming is the best it's ever been?
Brother gaming was better when you was member on PSU.
It genuinely feels like this when they brag about DEI shit finally selling something!
I think if Yasuke character was an Assassin that introduced Naoe to the Creed instead of a historical character that has his history altered, it wouldn't have blown up.
Ubisoft has been a pioneer in exploiting consumers, i dont care if this is the best game ever, i hope it fails and i'm doing my part. Sorry, not sorry.
It is just a game and as far as I'm concerned they can do whatever they want with it, thats their game and people are more than free not to like and not buy the game.
Really because when asked the answer is because they are better, vetter atmospher, Story, Characters, gameplay even music
Many woke games are like that, aka devs/heads of the studio focus so much on agenda pushing they forget that game has to be of the highest possible quality in the first place, no gaming companies are non profit organisations, their sole purpose is profit, and that obviously suffers when game's quality is put on a backburner.
To be honest there was quite a lot of internet backlash over Dragon Age. The game might have seen a different outcome if it had a better artstyle and less agenda driven writing.
That's the weird part about all this , how come the people that hate these games know every strange detail about the games to go to the Internet & complain about it? Why not put that energy into the games you do like.
Ignore the game you used to like and focus on the ones you still do..
It's an Assassin's Creed title. What did you expect from a series which has sold gangbusters since inception (200+ million worldwide)? Odyssey sold 10 million. Valhalla sold 20 million.
Companies have been learning that for the last two years. That's why they are rolling back on all the social politics and DEI stuff after flops like Concord, Veilguard, MCU, Bud light, etc etc
Im pretty sure you're able to pick & choose who you have conversations with
The goal of the smear campaign was to change that .
Ultimately the "smear campaign" is from a tiny minority of youtubers.
I know, hence why I'm taking to you
Thank you. Would you mind telling that to Jaffe? I think he really needs to hear that.
The culture war isn't a thing for people that actually play video games.
They paid him money to play their game?
I believe you are correct, being 1579 it's set in the little window between her two marriages, hence why her daughters are in the game who belong to Nagamasa, who died in 1573
Ubisoft? Not the official Twitter account, probably run by a "talentless freak"? Ok. This is how PC Gamer is going to frame the story uh.
This is not only foolishness but escalation. I haven't seen this "fight" get this heated since The Last of Us 2.
...nawh dawg. This Culture War is a hot as ever. South of Midnight is next to the grill, and whatever the outcome of Ubisoft´s future is, ain't gonna be a "success".
...But what it will take for media/publishers-devs to finally crash out? Disney is having a meltdown over Snow White's flop and its backlash, and Hollywood is in panic mode over the state of the industry.
Are more layoffs and studio closures on the horizon? and after South of Midnight (which will be irrelevant as a video game) the next "batteflied" will be intergalatic in 2027? yeah, this shit aint over.
