Never gonna get my Steam dox, FAGGOT! FAGGOT! FAGGOT!
I talk like a normal real fucking human being goddammit. I know enough to know what I don't know: it's flattering, but the joke's more on you if you think that. And: have you even seen DBZ? If you had, you'd know that I talk nothing like a DBZ "villian" (fuck off gay ESL FAGGOT!).
Not even. KCD doesn't crack top 10 games for me, it's a wash really and I don't think I'll ever replay it. With Outlaws it's fine, as an individual game he can arrive at his own conclusions and it doesn't really matter if he's coming in primed to react to it badly because of a woke controversy or whatever.
With KCD1, he had a neutral to positive reception to it and acknowledged that it wasn't to his taste, but going into KCD2 (which really isn't all that different from the first, the arguments that its intro is longer [it's pretty much the same to the first game's intro, Skalitz + Talmberg], that it's a "humiliation ritual"[seriously, his sensitivity to this shit is PATHOLOGICAL: Henry gets ambushed, loses his equipment, spends a night in the pillory, fairly bog standard and hardly the same as being gang-raped or castrated.], or that the writing is "millenial" now [the first game had plenty of millenial writing moments, there was scatological humor & silliness in a lot of quests that he didn't do] are simply wrong.) he's been approaching it with outrageous bad faith, which again is his usual style, but since it's back-to-back same games in a series the contrast and shift is jarring.
His intentions to jam this into his "Gaming is Dying" frame with "old first game good, new second game bad" are so clear and obvious. Shame that it doesn't fit whatsoever. What I don't understand is why he can't seem to process this game on multiple levels like he did with BG3. With that (even some gameplay criticisms were plain retarded, like his complaints about "enemies having levels" when that's in the Monster Manual and furthermore just a stupid and "OBJECTIVELY" wrong preference to have) he was able to acknowledge the game itself being fine while still criticising its woke elements. The Musa & gay sex controversies have totally broken-buck his brain (probably because for the futafuhrer it hits a bit too close to home?).
Another thing: how does the first game not then qualify as a "humiliation ritual" under his logic? Henry's girlfriend gets killed, his parents get killed, he loses his father's sword, he tries to escape back to Skalitz and gets brutally beaten, he starts off as a nobody in the Rattay mill, etc.
Kinda? I accept that tbh. The latest SCPwank expansion has certainly made it gayer, and has really sunk my expectations for its future.
These are necessary gameplay and story compromises, is how I view them. Complaining about Metroid style resets I view as being on about the same level as complaints like "Bethesda cities are too small they should be like Novigrad from the Witcher 3 with hundreds of nameless NPCs", "why is the protagonist an amnesiac", or "turn based combat is so unrealistic, in real life combat people don't take turns hitting each other". It is a videogame at the end of the day, and an RPG at that. Zero-to-hero is a more common fantasy that players want, I'd assume, over "god from day one".
I hate metal, I hate jazz, I hate country, I hate pop, I hate rap. They are all old dead boomer genres whose peaks of artistry have already been reached and surpassed. They are as obsolete in the 21st century as ragtime was in the 50s.
