    That part about “choices in quest design” is spot on. You’d never get another “new vegas” today where you could side with a faction like the Legion. People today are STILL seething over the legion. Even though they are likely among the more “real” groups for the setting.

      And the best part about the legion is that while they are obviously not good and we are told this by every source multiple times, the legion itself puts up a competent enough reasoning for why they act this way so you could say "yeah i can see someone thinking this way specially in an apocalypse". They have a dangerous ideology but a realistic one that follows some form of logic , instead of every woke game where the "political villain" is evil just to act as a strawman for whoever's within the game dev's opposing political side

      ​@@goddamnarshiaI think the issue is that the game itself doesn't really have anyone make a particularly solid argument in favor of the Legion. I mean, the Big Cheese himself gives his reasons, but it's all too easy to dismiss it as megalomania (not helped that Caesar even has a below average INT stat). And most of the Legion's reasoning amounts to a lot of psychotic "weak fear strong" Darwinism.
      Mikeburnfire had made a mod adding various NPCs, including Legion quest givers who give much more practical reasoning for their way of life, such how NCR's reliance on mass-produced commodities like medical syringes that're no longer in production, and their application of modern economics only works when resources are in over-abundance, which also leads to their own citizenry who can't afford such seemingly basic rights to fall through the cracks and rot the society from within.

      Wokeness refers to a contemporary ideology rooted in Critical Theory, Race and identity politics, often infused with elements of Marxism, which emphasizes a hierarchical view of victim-hood and collective identity. This ideology tends to prioritize group identities over individual agency, leading to an overemphasis on identity categories such as race, gender and sexual orientation. Critics argue that "wokeness" fosters a culture of victimhood, promotes intolerance towards differing viewpoints
      (commonly known as cancel culture) and undermines the principles of individualism and meritocracy. Furthermore, it is often associated with policies and practices that prioritize diversity over qualifications potentially leading to reverse discrimination and devaluation of excellence and achievement.

Let's see them trying to made an Assassin's Creed game set in China (any period) where the main protagonist (who's fighting the for a good cause) is a black character. It will never happen. Just look at the movie posters for the Chinese market. Film studios and developers even go as far as disguising or outright omitting anything DEI or LGBTQ+ characters.

      Could you provide even a minuscule shred of any evidence that you can get a job as a game devs just by being woke ? (spoiler, you cannot provide evidence since this belief is completely made up)

      Elden Ring (Doesn't have gender option, has character with complex gender identity, has "girl bosses", has anti-colonialism and anti-imperialist theme, has anti-religion theme, has feminized men, has character with multiple gender of ambiguous gender, has diverse cast...)
      Baldur's Gate 3 (Every companions are bisexual, character creator doesn't limit appearance based on gender, has a trans character, has lesbian character, has extremely diverse cast and world, has progressive political theme and anti-capitalist theme and Larian has been explicity about their support for the LGBTQ+ community...)
      Cyberpunk 2077 + Phantom Liberty (Diverse cast, many LGBTQ+ character, anti-capitalist theme...)
      God of war Ragnarok (This one was called woke by all of you people so I don't have to justify it)
      Spider-man 2 (Very openly in support of the LGBTQ+ community)
      Final Fantasy 16 (Diverse cast, LGBTQ+ character)
      Helldiver 2 (The game has anti-facist theme, the devs are clearly progressive and have banned the bigot from their discord server)
      Hades 2 (Diverse cast and LGBTQ+ character)
      TOTK (Diverse cast and was called woke by a large number of people cause of the sexualization of some character)
      Armored Core 6 (Very obvious anti-capitalist theme)
      Horizon Forbidden West (Called woke by you people)

    Why is everyone here acting like good woke games just don’t exist? These games didn’t fail because they were woke, they failed because they were bad. All of this progressiveness and inclusion is just a facade that the developers tacked on for marketing.
    Remember when Budweiser started promoting trans rights, and immediately bailed on everything LGBTQ when they were challenged over it? They didn’t care, and they never cared. They just wanted to sell shitty beer to a new audience, and thought this would be a slam dunk.
    I feel bad; there’s a genuine desire for media to be more diverse and inclusive. Baldur’s Gate, Ghosts of Tsushima, Mass Effect, God of War, KoToR, Hi-Fi Rush, Undertale, Cyberpunk, Hades, these games succeeded because they were good, AND because they were woke.

    Honestly, the only thing I ask for is sincerity. That the creators truly love their own games, and delivering the best version of their vision to us, as lovers of great stories and video games.
    If their ideas are one of inclusivity and diversity, and they truly do love the gaming medium and are trying to contribute to it, I’m okay with that. I think I will feel it, and I’ll possibly play their games.
    The end product doesn’t even need to be perfect or shiny. It’s cliched, but the thought really does matter.
    The recent slew of unimaginative, corporate, creatively bankrupt cynical games that look down on their players, has really made me realize this.
    I still felt that sincerity from many AAA games up to about 15 years ago.
    My favorite games at the moment are Kingdom Come: Deliverance, and Ready or Not. The next game I want to play is a $12 Unity asset flip which is undoubtedly rough, but it just looks full of love and hard work.
    Now it’s indie games, and “AA” games that scratch this itch, Aand I’m perfectly happy. The bigger companies will get my money again when they actually start making games again.

    These people are insane and the whole thing can burn as far as I’m concerned. There are enough great games already out there to last me a lifetime, if I never buy another game again I still might never clear my backlog. I’ve all but given up talking about it online, it’s futile. I typically keep my mouth shut and vote with my wallet.
    It’s been quite funny watching the games media and prominent youtubers talk about Concord’s failure while ignoring the elephant in the room. The narrative became “the character designs weren’t very appealing”, which is just a roundabout way of saying nobody wanted to play as these bland woke characters. Half the people have been indoctrinated in to believing this woke bullshit is a positive thing, and the other half are shit scared of any backlash if they call it out. This video is appreciated.

    People refusing to admit that wokeness is hurting games do so because it aligns with their own political beliefs, so even if they feel that there's something wrong, they'll still play for the home team.

    If you can change race sexuality gender or anythign "woke" about a character and it changes notning unless its important in some way, like race in to kill a mockingbird or characters that have been explicitly shown being gay and stuff like that, and its still recognizable as the character, then its a good character. Thst may contradict characters like gwenpool or miles morales but those cases are different. If the change happens and in some way effects the character and its made to atleast slightly differ from the original as in becoming a new character then it still stands. Characters like the new Velma are examples of the opposite of all this. Shes been changed and is a drastically different character beyond race and yet claims to be the same character. Thats bad writing and bad inclusivity. I hate saying media is woke but for me thats how i decide if a character or show is woke or not

    12:04 Exactly the point. Thank you for saying this because I feel like people will misconstrue what you're saying for being ignorant/racist, etc. For me, game design and writing take precedence. A perfect example is Cyberpunk 2077. You can choose what your character identifies as regardless of what model you choose initially and so forth. But it doesn't get in the way of the story being told and the gameplay itself. They don't make a big deal about it. They don't showboat it as "Hey, see! We're inclusive. Look what we have." It's just there. That's how representation should be.

    I think you hit the nail on the head with the Blackrock tie in. If you own 30% of all corporations (food, medical, etc..) then throwing $100 million at a game to influence young people to then buy medical adaptions ($$$) that you will use the rest of your life compared to maybe 1 to 5 years in a game cash system is nothing. People need to stop, get out of the maze, and look at the bigger picture before it is too late. 🛑🧠✌

    this is why i love gta. sure, the last release was in 2013 so we dont know if they’re taking the “woke” approach for gta 6, but looking at gta online which was last updated 4 days ago and how there’s rarely even been mentions of anything relating to being “woke” throughout its entire lifespan is enough reassurance for me.

    Bruh whats worse it it seems like most gay people and women think this stuff is super cringe too. Another example is the vitiligo thing. No one with a skin condition wants to play as or see a character who has a skin condition because its gonna make them self conscious and remind them that they are just playing a "nodern video game" unless yhe character is EXTREMELY well written. Even then, such characters work better as shorter stories for the same reason

      Most women actually agree in part or don't care because women don't know what makes a good action game. They quite literally do not have the physical brain for it. Men are thing oriented, and women are people oriented.

    ❤❤❤Someone should look into this. But every woke game that I've seen always has some sort of purple sprites. Whether it be in the UI or maybe a grenade you throw is purple, maybe a superpower they use has purple. If you look at the games and you look for anything that's like bright purple. I feel like this is a dead giveaway now.
