was reading that "Persona 5 is overrated" thread and remembered how many GOTY press lists it was on. Then I remembered how it displayed some of the most horrible, 1950s-era homophobic attitudes I've seen in a game. They treated gay men both as a joke and as dangerous sexual predators of boys. And yet press outlets lavished praise on the game. Gave it Game of the Year. I'm not singling Persona 5 out here, but can you imagine a film winning an Oscar in 2017 which treated gay people like predators and jokes? And yet that is what is happening in the game industry. The Game Awards, SXSW Gaming Awards, IGN, Polygon, Gamespot, Giant Bomb, Eurogamer, EGM, DualShockers, and others all gave Persona 5 either a GOTY, an award in a specific category, or presented it on their best of the year lists. I don't remember any of these press outlets even mentioning the homophobia in the game as they showered it with praise.

User Banned (3 Days): Aggressively attempting to dictate the terms of homophobia

I don't give a shit what you are, do not tell me how to interpret things. I told you how I saw the scene, if you saw it differently and choose to see malice behind everything, that's fine.

User Banned (Permanent): Downplaying homophobia and bigotry, account still in the junior phase.

Perfect, then I don't need to deal with your inability to understand any viewpoint outside of your narrow, sexist, racist cisphobic one, and hurl profanities at me.

One of the cool things I realized recently is that you can still report a post even if the person has already received a warning or ban for it. If you think something is too short or too lenient, report it again and the mods will probably buckle and extend it.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

I still cannot believe this game was able to get made. I am slowly working my way through Henry’s story and loving it. I really love wandering the countryside and exploring their recreation of Bohemia. The dev team’s commitment to realism makes the whole experience so different from many games today and that makes it feel like something fresh and new. The Warhorse team took on an ambitious challenge and created something very special in the end.

For people obsessed with making judgments about whether someone is acting in good faith or not they are pretty bad at actually discerning when posters are posting in bad faith.

Only a week for repeat sexist trolling? I better report that post again, and report the mods who gave you that wristslap ban for enabling your bigotry.

The "Why women criticise sexualised character designs" is like a distillation of everything that's bad about Era. I also have no idea how the Weltallzero dude hasn't been banned yet. Probably helps to be on the "right" side.

i'm pretty sure they don't get much traffic. woke gamers is like a niche of a niche audience

[etiolate]

This has been a topic before, but SJWism isn't an effective marketing model in that the audience you're targeting expects to get things for free. The theory is that the audience is so histrionic that they create heavy viral traffic. Eventually you bounce out to the Oprah/Ellen audience that does spend money.

I doubt that works for videogames. Univision buying up the old gawker sites has been a failure.

Vice.com itself is huge though;  nearing the top 100 sites in the US.  I imagine that gives Waypoint a ton of traffic just by getting stories listed on vice.com proper.

Probably not as much as Vice would like.

I literally was talking about the opposite of them generating their own viral traffic. 

They'll get more hits than your average random gaming site just by nature of being on the vice.com home page.

They do get the benefit of being on Vice, but Vice partakes in some of the same politics. The question is why target an audience that doesn't spend or have money? I don't think these businesses do so naively.

It's sort of the Westworld thing. The park doesn't make as much money as selling the behavior data does. In this case, the most active engagers don't buy the advertiser's products but they repost the piece enough times so that eventually it reaches a buying audience.

Perhaps, but it made me deeply uncomfortable to play a protagonist who was constantly belittling, insulting, and cutting off the speech of his child for the bulk of a game. If I saw that behavior in real life, I'd step in. It's awful, abusive parenting.

I can't believe so many nerds are acting like God Of War is any more special than the glut of bland ass fauxpen world RPGlite action games that have been around since the PS2. It feels and plays like a big budget PS3 game. In fact, it has that gritty texture shit that was so common in multiplat games in the PS360 era.

I feel like I've played this game 20 times and I haven't even played any of the games people most compare it to. It's got that same trash that Uncharted 4 has where you get stuck in walk and talk expository bullshit, ultra easy "platforming", constantly getting dragged into a cutscene, and "press button to get stuck in a long animation chain that would be much more fun if you actually got to do it instead of the game doing it for you".

If I'm going for 3rd person action-brawler games with a stupid story and "lore", I'm picking MK Shaolin Monks over this every single time.

The cutscenes can be frequent but, unless you are only doing main story stuff, you are going to be mostly exploring the hub world or fighting monsters.
