    It literally doesn't matter what minority group you demand to be shoehorned into every story, if you do it purely for its own sake, then it is the definition of wokism. How do you reconcile the cognitive dissonance, that some LGBT characters are...

    You swing and miss again. Just as with religion, I'm not even American, I have no stake in the democrat vs republican fight. I don't know how you jumped to party politics? The alternative simply means that genuinely not getting the difference is...

    You said put more LGBT into everything without even knowing the setting. That by definition can not be in service of the story or setting. Fantasy is based on medieval Europe. And medieval Europe was predominantly white. You can dislike that...

    As I've said pretending. At least I hope you're pretending, because the alternative is worse.

    It's the easiest thing ever: Demanding for a certain group to be more represented for no particular reason, not because it better serves the story or the setting just for its own sake. That is woke. A minority group existing organically in a...

    M76 replied to the thread New Mass Effect Game.
    Of course the people involved say it is the bestest ever, they always do. Seems to me they were trying to make a greatest hits. Superficially imitating the OT.

    This is what the woke apologists do best: Pretending to not understand the problem, and drawing false equivalences. "If Tomb Raider came out today it would be called woke" "Ellen Ripley would be called woke" "Aliens is woke" etc. I've heard...

    Strawman argument, nobody says wokeism can be the only reason for a game being worse quality. Especially not in 2010, since woke influence only started to become a serious issue after 2015. If Veilguard was half as good as DA2, it would've...

    M76 reacted to MaZa's post in the thread Legendary Game Studio Bioware Shuts Down with Like Like.
    And it doesn't help when there are weasel journalists like Jason Schreier creating echo chambers for the studios, lying that the game is good when majority of the gamers, people who actually buy the products, say otherwise.

    The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command I experience it first hand. Sure if you want to be pedantic, then wokeism didn't kill bioware. Wokeism killed the quality of their games...

    Every CEO is the worst, that's the only way to get into such positions. Being ruthless and indifferent to the work / art itself. But that is exactly the point. They ask and the answer is always: we didn't go far enough, we need to own the chuds...

    You notice a trend somehow...or still in denial?

    These people were never in charge of story and art direction. They are politicians. They don't give a rat's ass about games, stories, ideologies. They make decisions based on what their underlings feed them. If lower management says if we only...

    Filmmakers think videogames are beneath them, they view it as a lower form of media, so the biggest thing preventing a faithful adoption is their pride. How many times have seen writers, directors and actors proudly declare that they never played...

    DA2 catches a lot of hate, but if most games today were half as good as DA2 I'd be happy. Sure it recycled some maps, so did Mass Effect, why does that get a pass?

    Isn't there a live action TV series in production? Or is that cancelled too? Not that I have any hope of it being good, since it is produced by amazon, who thinks IP stands for I Piss on it.
  • M76
    That was quick. I expected they had time until at least the next mass effect. Guess it is not far enough in development to be worth finishing. Especially if it was to become another veilguard. This is far more justified than most studios the old...

    I started on MS-DOS 5.0, and I agree with that. And yet Windows 11 is still more convenient than Linux. And it's not like I'm some linux noob. Worked on a Norwegian government project where every tool was linux based, that's when I had to dig...

    M76 replied to the thread Grand Theft Auto VI.
    Let's hope at least half of those will be actually good. I think GTA4 was infinitely better than 5. Especially the expansions. I sank hundreds of hours into 4, while only finished the story mode once in 5 and then dropped the game. Characters...
