Gary Whitta (a very awful writer) and other people took over and probably rewrote it.

Anything that has three or more writers equal story shit. This game is pretty much the Space Jam of video games were you have four writers doing some stupid circus act

Hell, I thought it had 6 writers, but forced myself to read through what the fuck happened here. So Amy and Gary were contacted in the concept stage, Amy I imagine came up with the world, Gary did an interview talking about how he gave a certain pitch and they pretty much chucked most of it out the window, didn't bother reading what his pitch was but it did not involve a sassy NY youth doing youth things.

Enter the other 2, LA based writers who did the thing proper and like I said in my last post, just saying that they are from California tells you all you need to know.

It's all about nepotism. They all care less about creativity and more on money, power and/or influence.

@Pokemon Conquistador all the writers are English, dude.

Seriously? It sounds so much like what you'd get if a Boomer foreigner consumed too much American media and tried writing something that Current Year kids could relate to. It's like if Tommy Wiseau tried to write a 19th Century Romantic Novel and it was all just sex scenes that revolved around his main character's weird, beef jerky ass.

Hearing that the writers are from Commiefornia makes sense though. We've reached an age where media companies care more about ideological conformity than they do about making a good story. It doesn't help that today's crop of writers are sheltered upper class college kids who probably never even seen a war movie, much less fought in a war themselves...

Pretty much this? Amy Hennig of Legacy of Kain was involved as well (I swear that woman is cursed since she got kicked out of Naughty Dog by Cuckman, been unable to release any project...) as well as the Rogue One screen writer, though they both were only in the early concepts and most their ideas were chucked out a window. There are 2 other writers which I assumed did the bulk of it all and both are California fags so you can imagine the rest.

The nips did the code and gameplay, but the story, character design and all that was all Weimerica. Hopefully square learnt the fucking lesson after the gigantic bomb this piece of shit was and you never fucking trust a Califag with anything.

I feel bad for modern good writers so much. Imagine having a lot of talent and passion, and being sidelined for the definition of useless eaters who LARP as facing tough life situations despite cruising on daddy's trust fund, who are insistent on putting Niggers and trannies in everything since it's more important to them to get those Twitter social credit and owning the chuds than actually making a good story that isn't a retread of something else or just propaganda.

It is kinda impressive the amount of worldbuilding an extra stuff they have added with all that side YouTube videos of the game’s world. I agree with IH, I hope they can do a sequel or something with the game. It’s got pacing and structure issues, but the story and world are interesting enough.

Man, the storymode channel used to be a little filler side project, but now that they've found their groove its REALLY good shit.

Between wanted dead and the forspoken review the comedy + quality is easily onpoint with shit like the gentleman pirate or high end main channel videos.

Also, I love the fact that they've made like 50 Mulvaney can jokes and somehow still found a way to keep them original.

I'm only halfway through the video, but it's a riot. My god that voice acting. Also, sad to see Mister Zuckerberg not presenting anymore but Mr S seems to do fine. I did manage to spoil myself on the twist reading comments and I honestly could see that happening today.

I'd recommend archiving this, & the Forspoken video too just in case YT makes him hide it again.

Hopefully the added publicity at least will salvage the studio, the game sounds similar to Deadly Premonition with jank and weird scenes, though not as memorable characters. After thinking about it, the twist is ingenious and I can see a modern corpo pulling the same shit.

Did anyone here play the game? Because this video makes me think they missed a huge chunk of story, but that could just be the bad writing.

I watched some long winded video from Jacob Geller about it a few days before this came out, from how he described it, sounds like a stupid hack and slash similar to No More Heroes.
