@@gtab1700 that’s fine, I really enjoyed the mechanics of the game, D&D on the computer and all that. Played a lot of acts 1 and 2. The game just couldn’t get me across the finish line is all. Not saying you can’t enjoy it.
@@gtab1700 I have no clue what they are talking about, I have completed bg3 multiple times including on honour mode and the only woke thing I seen in the game was the ability to make a non-binary character\put male genitals on a female. other than that, it is probably one of the most badass rpg's I have played in a very long time
2024 has been a rough year for activist journalists and developers, and they did it to themselves. Even the woke slop with brand recognition, like the ones you pointed out, are not immune to some of us noticing the ideological nonsense they cram in, and eventually more people will notice and reject more games focused on DEI and ESG.
media has always been a tool of political propaganda from newspaper to radio to tv to movies to ad to music but videogames are different unlike the forms of media games are not universal their main consumers are poeple with artistic or creative or constructive intrests or poeple who enjoy escapism and social outcasts. so when you products main objective is to target their core audience and actively contributing their social ostracisation while celebrating that then of course that audience is going to abandon your products . and their presumed diversed audience has no intrest in art or imgination unless its in a perverted way of defilment and subversion. but i believe they know all of this and they would rather burn the industry down than give it back to its poeple.
Synthetic Man praising Baldur's Gate 3 when it has genital swapping, pronouns, drag queens and every companion and most npcs are bundles of sticks, really made me question Synthetic Man's opinions going forward. I forgot to mention the bear fetish crap also.
Did you miss the part where he constantly decried the pronoun and weird sex fetish BS? All through the video. He praised the design and somewhat the graphics, though I believe - it's been a while since I watched the video - he said they could also be better; the RPG elements, the gameplay to a point, but never did I hear him say in that video that he agreed with or enjoyed all the DEI choices in it. He mostly ignored them or was in part vehement that they should be ignored if not bashed rightfully. Because outside of that, and outside of the dumbass decisions Wizards is doing with D&D as far as races and classes - it's still a good RPG system. With a decent enough story (though it SHOULDN't have been called Baldur's Gate 3...) and a fucked up level cap, considering what you're fighting by the end of the game. If we were going to be fighting avatars of gods, or anything comparable to an archdemon; we should have been able to get to Level 30. Might as well have tossed a Terrasque at us and said, have at it... What do you mean "hold up?" You're almost level 15... : / Dude, those DEI mandates have infected every awards system that any creative medium has; and is effectively the reason that games and movies and X,Y, Z creative outlet now HAS to include a set amount of that bullshit in it. Else it's not going to win any award, or even be eligible to get one in the first place. You want to know why Baldur's Gate has Bi - and bear sex options: That's why.
there are more to games than simply premise. while you seem to be deeply convinced that wokeness is the reason these games are coming out bad (not thinking about the target audience certainly is a root reason), its really not the main reason the games are doing bad, and you using BG3 as an example kind of works against you here. BG3 is genuinely the best CRPG out currently, there are thousands of hours of content, hundreds of class combinations and ways to approach combat, thousands of little choices, 10's or hundreds of variations to the endings (17,000 variations according to the studio), and a very interesting story to boot. The gameplay is very high quality as well, not very buggy on launch which is very impressive for a large scale RPG like that. It gives lots of choice, which yes, being gay in the game is also a choice, so what. Concord and Outlaws failing are not due to wokeness, its because the games look horrible. Concord doesnt have its own identity, it looks like destiny/ cod gameplay with a hero shooter twist but the heroes and art style are bland, not to mention its trying to enter into a market that already has established winners for years now (overwatch, valorant, apex are the winners. marvel rivals can easily be a winner too bc of the marvel IP) Outlaws looks like unfinished dogwater. all 3 of these games are "woke", but one of them is a game of the year contender, and arguably one of the most high quality games in the current decade, unlike first descendant which i had to look at for a lot of this video (average looter shooter). The wokeness has not really much to do with it. People in IG comments complain about a new valorant or OW character being gay, but these are still some of the most played games on the planet, because they have polished and unique gameplay, which is what actually matters for a games success, not how woke or anti woke it is. Black myth wukong as an example didn't do good due to mistranslations from IGN IMO (stay with me now), its because its a solid game with a unique premise, with gameplay that is executed pretty well. What's interesting is that the game holds record player count numbers, but you can see when they dip harshly each day. Line this up with CST (china standard time) and youll find something interesting. I compared my EST to CST, and at about 22:00 through 01:00 in CST is the peak of the hours, but in EST this is about 08:00 through 11:00 (central america and west coast are fast asleep at that time). Am i really to believe that its the west boosting these numbers? Are 2 million americans or europeans really waking up and skipping work to play this game? I think Chinese players are carrying these numbers. And why wouldnt they? journey to the west is a beloved story, and sun wukong is a beloved character. To have a game that is kind of like that has gotta be awesome for a chinese person, its a first of its kind and its good. But now, am I really to believe that it was "anti wokeness" that directly caused the success of the game? I think not, but to this point Im also not gonna sit here and believe that "wokeness" is a reason for a game not doing well. There is more to it.
BG3 was a fantastic game though. The difference is they just added some woke features onto a well polished masterpiece. It wasn't a main focus of the game.
@@danielthunder9876 those millions of people are morons that associate dei as bad without actually thinking beyond their own preconceived notions lol if bg3 was not as big of success as it is you people would consider it in the same boat even if the issues steamed from gameplay or graphics
It's not a woke problem, it's a fun problem. HD2 and PD3 haven't gone "Woke" but both are failing (funny enough HD2 more than PD3) because they forgot how to have fun. Yeah politics can ruin games, but it's able to be ignored if the game is ACTUALLY FUN TO PLAY
The game didn’t fail because it was “woke” it failed because it looks like shit and Is in a genre people are tired of. Stuff like balders gate, Tekken 8, spiderman 2, and Metroid are still, and will always sell well because they are games that look and play amazing Keep coping tho 😂
Your profile pic is from a woke game. It might not be compared to the west but 10 years ago we would of called the censorship in RE4 remake SJW nonsense.
Im all for DEI games failing but BG3? Idk the game was well made, and the story has nothing to do with real-world politics. Yes, you can be gay but come on, they even have the stereotype of a black man trying to find his father.
when I see that video one russian political meme comes to my mind, where your side is great and holy and your opponent's side is bad and unholy, even tho both sides are kind of similar. honestly, I am tired of this propaganda bullshit from BOTH FUCKING SIDES. speak facts. and yes, don't play games from big publishers, they most likely suck. instead of making a good finished product they're crunching and using predatory monetization tactics
fuckin exactly, both side's extremes are ridiculous to listen to. Yes, "game for everyone is a game for no one.", but saying BG3 and GoW 4 and 5 are bad? wtf?
Dude concord and dustborn are terrible and DEI is a horrible idea but you're clearly way too biased. You're shitting on quality games because you don't like a couple ideas in them you don't like. A couple bad qualities in an amazing game don't make it into a shitty game. It damages your credibility and sincerity
I wanted to argue in defense of BG3, but then I realized I never finished it because Act 3 took the woke shit too far, like Portland with elves.
your the minority my guy bg3 literally won game of the year for a reason and not just the game awards EVERY goty

people aren’t against wokes there against agendas you could make a game as conservative as possible and it would get clowned on lol
Finally, I’m glad someone mentioned shilling for monkey game is not good either

It's almost like he was more focused on the gameplay and story than the 2 minutes of content you hyper fixated on. Seems like you are in the closet.
