Far Cry 5 was a whole shitshow for Ubisoft, I enjoyed the game but holy shit their reaction to the whole people liking pro-gun stuff thing was fucking off the hook and insanely angry, they are actually retarded

Hi Fi Rush has very woke character designs but is still fun.

 

[LazyLizard]

Night in the Woods.

A pretty fucking good game, storyline-wise, a lot to do to discover the town and a lot of details you can explore.

Mae best girl.

isn't that the game where the dev bullied his friend into committing suicide over a false rape accusation?

They look kinda shitty but not too bad from what I saw.

Ubisoft caused multiple diplomatic incidents with Japan to the point they had to admit that the Black samurai was a Wikipedia editor's lie and a conspiracy Hollywood has been pushing for the last 10 years. Ubisoft was caught red handed trying to rewrite Japanese history to promote a video about game about a gay nigger samurai living in Feudal Japan.

For all the guntguarding of Disco shit you silly fucks are forgetting how the only way to fix The Pale is through Communism. The head of ZA/UM would had been sucking off commies if not for a few other writers toning it down.https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/SacredAndTerribleAir

BG3 has some bullshit DEI in Act 1 but it only gets worst as the game goes on. There is a Mary Sue who you can't kill unless you have Shadowheart in your party and be evil. Though you can kill her lesbo lover. By the time you reach Act 3 the brainrot is on full display. However you can still go around murdering damn near everyone and if you are playing a murder hobo with 3 friends shit can get pretty fun. but that can be said for most things.

The Mechwarrior/Battletech games are pretty good even though the newer ones are full of DEI shit.

 

[Male Idiot]

The good thing about Baldur's Gate 3 is that at the very least you don't have to pursue any romance. And in situations where you must do something to proceed like Haarlep, you can choose a character to do it, it doesn't need to be your character.

Bro, you can just kill Haarlep. The little shit stealths but if you can't kill him, you aren't getting through Raphael anyway. BG3 lets you get away with a lot of defaggering.

However you can still go around murdering damn near everyone and if you are playing a murder hobo with 3 friends shit can get pretty fun. but that can be said for most things.

You can have a mod to do custom companions. I really should invest time in the Wizard Yakub and his evil whyte chud party. No bard will make fun of his big head!

Aside from BG3, WoTR, there is also the 3 Kotor games and 3 Mass Effect games. Some nogs and optional le gay.

It is definately a trend that games that give woke shit options and games that force woke shit usually end up with the former doing better.

Nobody really made a big shit about Jolee Bindo, Jonah Orion, Admiral Anderson or even Brother Charon to name a recent example.

Pillars of Eternity 2 is also a game of spotting whytie, but it makes sense as it is set in Fantasy Caribbean where everyone is a literal hawaii nautical negro, or spaniard styled negro, or imperial Japan nautical negro. And all sides are giant assholes who do shady shit. The only good characters are in your party.

Yes, nautical negro is a playable race, but got some ooga booga name I can't recall. They look like half fish half negro.

On a good side, Rogue Trader, despite sharing the devs of WoTR, has only straight Imperials. If you want to poz, you need the criminal or the space elves, all 3 you can just execute anyway.

not one.

while i'm glad people rioted over this it's honestly annoying and depressing that no one did this in the 2 games set in europe where they diversified the white european population. that was totally fine but doing it to asians is to much?

 

[starborn427614]

The plot has you saving a nigger museum from an evil white guy. That game is utterly worthless and the most woke piece of shit just below Concord.

Which is a side quest, as was previously mentioned. Besides, doesn't the thread title alone indicate that I concede the general point?

 

[Samuel Fuller]

I dunno. Probably but unlike the matrix, Celeste really does give the vibe that it was made by someone mentally disturbed.

The dev trooned out IRL, so...

I know the sequel is woke. But how is the first one woke? I remember liking it and not seeing any woke shit. The 2nd one is very woke and disgusting.

Zero Dawn is proto-woke, since you play as the girlboss clone of a girlboss heroic science genius fixing the destruction of the world caused by a straight white male who was driven by ego to ignore the science girlboss warning him of the dangers of the new technology she invented being weaponized.

Also, most of the male NPCs are flawed to near-tragic levels while every female NPC is a Mary Sue.

I enjoyed the hell out of the game, but it definitely counts as woke, but early enough in the woke takeover of games that it was only mildly annoying and not TOO in your face.

Funny enough, the hamfsted woketardation of the devs of FarCry 5 accidentally made it the best game in the series by a longshot. Aside from the Mars DLC, anyway. That sucks ass.

Far Cry 5 was never that. Woke journos saw the poster and got the info that it was set in rural United States and hyped up in their own minds that it would be a MAGA murder simulator. As the marketing progressed and it revealed it wasn't that, journos turned on the game. Yes, it has stuff like the Trump piss tape, but it also has things like no one caring about your character's race.

As for games coming across as parody, it's poe's law in effect. There world view is so contradictory and nonsensical that it works for individual points, but taken as a whole it's insane.

 

[Scream Aim Fire]

It was literally only a few years ago don't go spooking me treating it like it's already been several decades lmao.
Also IIRC they braggedabout making the next game without alex when the suicide happened, and there was a trailer for some new game in the artstyle by the same guys a while back that wasn't the same characters so who knows what's gonna happen. Probably gonna be shit either way!

To be honest, it feels a LOT longer; I think the whole Covid thing ended up screwing with my sense of time, honestly. It genuinely feels like it happened over a decade ago, to me.

And yeah, I forgot that the other devs were making a new game; I hope it crashes and burns, honestly.

isn't that the game where the dev bullied his friend into committing suicide over a false rape accusation?

Yes. Zoe Quinn falsely accused Alec of rape for... whatever reason, I think she wanted attention. Anyways, the other devs jumped on the bandwagon of accusing Alec of being abusive, Alec had a mental breakdown and committed suicide, Zoe's accusation was found to be false and yet nothing came out of it; she got away scot-free. Shit situation all-around, honestly, especially since NITW's companion game - which was supposed to be clearing up some of the remaining plot threads that never quite got developed in the main game - got cancelled in the aftermath. Now whoever is in charge of the dev team - Scott, I think - has been using the game as a platform for communist politics.

 

[Rich Evans Ayypologist]

I have trouble picking a game to highlight that fits 'woke' and is good. Pillars of Eternity 2's big anticolonial theme might squeeze it into Woke, but I also think that game's writing and game systems are dogshit. Old games like The Longest Journey probably have elements that fit the moniker, but I can't conceptualize it as Woke. For me, if a game is woke, its narrative is already forfeit because it's going to be moralizing, hackneyed, short-sighted, and written by a 20-something member of the upper crust with less life experience than the average goldfish. And if I'm playing a game primarily for its gameplay systems, then I'll have no idea if the developer is a woke maniac because I actually don't pay any attention to twitter.

The woke shit in Wrath of the Righteous is purely tax from the Paizo adventure path - you get slapped with a lot of Irabeth and Annevia early-on, but they cease to matter pretty quickly into the game's runtime. You can even eventually mutilate and murder them, if it please you. If your issue is just 'there are gays and blacks in the game,' I don't really think that's a woke thing. Then again, woke stretches easily into "thing I don't like," so it goes.

The director straight up thanked Marx and Engels in their TGA acceptance speech

The director also didn't write most of the aspects and elements that people like about Disco. This longass two-point-five-hour documentary into the ouster of that director, his woman, and his anal slave gives a lot of insight simply by introducing us to some of the other writers - the guy in charge of almost everything related to the Union, for example, seems like a much more down-to-earth dude. You get a sense from most of the extended team of that cynicism and melancholy, whereas you get from the exiled trio all the big, bright-eyed luster.

The main plot, and Harry's introspective details, were handled by those three. I think even the characterization of Kim, who is generally regarded as one of the best-realized sidekicks in a CRPG ever, was handled by other people. Only a handful of the other writers were willing to speak, though, because of how petty the director was known to be. You can easily observe how his anal-slave nervously glances in his direction for approval every time he deigns to speak.

But as you suspect, Racist Lorry Driver is immediately named Racist Lorry Driver with no prior justification.

I believe that this was done intentionally, as he's one of the first people you meet. I believe he was intentionally called that - same with Gary the Cryptofascist - to make people sperg out, get offended, and give the game as-such political cover to continue on with its message about the rot at the core of post-cold-war neoliberal Europe.

Because the fascist characters in the game have nothing to do with that rot, or indeed with any of Revachol's particular problems. The Lorry guy is just some dude, Gary's friendship with the cryptozoologists is the joke but also presents him as an eccentric if otherwise nice guy, Rene is a crotchedy old man that is nevertheless beloved by his friends, and Measurehead is just a guy guarding a gate who doesn't actively cause problems. Everything that stirs the pot and leads it to a boiling-point is caused by the liberals, by the socialists, by the communists. The scheming, back-stabbing, brinksmanship, and obsession with ideology and ideological purity are all what nearly lead to the outbreak of war - by contrast, the fascist characters disliking minorities, women, gays, and preferring the good-old-days has no part in the encroaching shitstorm.

 

[Maniacal Foreigner]

They look kinda shitty but not too bad from what I saw.

The dumbest part of Hi-Fi Rush was how in the ending, they suddenly implied a relationship between the main female sidekick (the obligatory brown punk rock chick with a sideshave) who was clearly being set up as the MC's love interest, and another one of your female companions whom she hardly interacted with throughout the whole game.
It came completely out of left field, it honestly felt like they just needed to check a box for BlackRock money or something.

 

[Judge Dredd]

Yes. Zoe Quinn falsely accused Alec of rape for... whatever reason, I think she wanted attention.

Off topic, but I agree, I think she wanted attention, but I think part of the motive was the clique trying to hop on the #metoo bandwagon. Alec killing himself immediately stopped that.

 

[DSP for president 2032]

There's something more to the voices, if I remember right the Shivers voice is literally the city talking to Harry, that's why finding the lady in the factory is locked totally behind passing the shivers check on the billboard outside it. If I remember right, this is explored if you turn the church into the nightclub and pass a bunch of dance skill checks.

Shivers and Inland Empire are definitely heavily implied to be magic. Are you sure you need Shivers to get to the dice maker though?

Maybe you mean the Shivers check makes you aware of her existence. I generally had low Shivers and I think I was able to start yelling into the furnace for no reason like a complete schizo.

Also the corpse tells him "love killed me".

You got me there! I misremembered. "Communism killed you" must be one of Harry's possible replies when the corpse asks him about his theories.

And yeah, I forgot that the other devs were making a new game; I hope it crashes and burns, honestly.

I think you got your wish!

God and one of his biggest alogs, Satan, appear to be teaming up to kill this guy as an act of revenge.

Looks like the game was going to feature actual humans, and Mae was going to be a legit cat.

Of course...

Yes. Zoe Quinn falsely accused Alec of rape for... whatever reason, I think she wanted attention. Anyways, the other devs jumped on the bandwagon of accusing Alec of being abusive, Alec had a mental breakdown and committed suicide, Zoe's accusation was found to be false and yet nothing came out of it; she got away scot-free.

Do we know for sure that he was falsely accused? I know Zoe accused him of putting his fingers in her pussy, lifting her up and making her walk around saying 'I am a stupid fuckdoll.' Sounds like it could be abuse, or it could be kinky sex gone wrong, or a false accusation by a complete lolcow. I definitely remember the other devs absolutely jumping on him, though. They were insanely fucking smug, clambering over each other to throw Alec under the bus because they wanted to show that they were good boys.

Sounds to me like, if the abuse is legit, that they knew what he was like and they were scrambling to not be viewed in the same light as the kind of people who let guys like Epstein run rampant.

No I'm not talking about the dice maker. Right before the military tribunal, you have to pass a legendary shivers check to get inside the factory to confront the woman you're currently looking for, the one that traps you in the pale beam.

This is complete bullshit, and even if you believed it, you would be saying that giving it your attention is worse than paying for it, because attention is worth more than money.
