Holy shit, sounds like they straight up did lift the Ripper. And that made the game unplayable? Boy modern developers are ass. Back then, the Ripper was just one of many crazy weapons, and was a tricky one that was in no way overpowered compared to the rest.

Gunt is a cowboy game about very low RoF cowboy weapons that do big damage, take fucking forever to reload and one shot headshots, plus very slow movement. Adding a spammable explosive sawblade gun kinda goes against that and ruins the whole game. Sure, you had some spammable guns like the mauser and the officer nagant before, or dual wield etc, etc. but none were to the level of the sawblade spammer.

And they're doing a shitty giveaway where streamers are going to quickplay during certain times, and if you match with them you get the skins for free.

Are they going to ban the original Alan Wake over that verizon ad that plays on one of the TVs?

Are they going to ban the original Alan Wake over that verizon ad that plays on one of the TVs?

i suspect they mean low effort ports of mobile games with a "view ad for free energy" thing. otherwise they would have to remove like every sports game for using real life brands. the new spiderman games as well since I'm pretty sure they do it as well hell a lot of Sony games do the in universe advertisement for real world products.

Edit: just as a reminder it's much easier to draft a policy with wide reaching implications even if you only plan to apply it to a very select number.

I think they took all of the marketing out after the first rights bullshit kefuffle they had.

But did they remove the "can you hear me now" line?!?!

I'm still amused that players in Baldurs Gate 3 did two things

Played as a white guy

And then did the hot elf chick.

And if you look at the actors and developers you would think the game was made only for fags. And let's say they are 100% right, even the gays are going straight and banging the hot elf chick. Western devs how will you win? How do you boost those Karlach numbers???

This is why Baldurs Gate 4 needs to be even more gay

The end. It's a slam dunk. Gay wallets will be drained hard. In 20 years when Wizards releases 4

WOTC not fumbling the next game would be a miracle.

It's the old Mass Effect 3 situation, where tumblr swore up and down that femShep was the "official" version.
Then player stats revealed a rather slanted percentage favoring maleShep. It only takes a couple of screeching tards to sway opinion.

 

[ValkyrieAce]

A few promising looking things. Lies of P DLC, Shinobi game from the people that did the recent Streets of Rage, new Digimon RPG.

But also so so many hyper-realistically rendered POC actors as main characters in AAA slop...

Dude even back then the Lesbians and troons (remember girls on the internet) were such a loud obnoxious force on the Bioware social. It's no wonder that 3 only added stuff for the gays.

I'm not counting Chobot because that also was pretty gay

 

[Planetary Bombardment]

There are generally three types of RPG characters:

• The self-insert default-ish male with maximum height, muscle, and chin
• The exotic elf or alien woman with which you want to engage in filthy miscegenation
• Some kind of hideous, grizzled goblin dwarf thing you use to be an asshole

Come to think of it this might have been a greentext originally, but it was funny to see the BG3 developers confirm the first. I wonder if it's ever occurred to them that any of the "inclusive" options they add are only ever going to be used for the third, if at all.
