Fess Fess got you hook line and sinker, man, take the gracious L. :messenger_tears_of_joy:

What I mean is I’m no longer interested in entertainment created in California as it’s likely to be woke.

Do I care if my hardware was developed in California? No

Do I care if the Japanese companies like Capcom and Sega that make non-woke games happen to have some operations in California? No

Bethesda RPGs are much larger in scope and they use the creation engine so jank is expected there. Obsidian won’t get the same pass with Avowed. But the level of jank they were talking about will be determined when the game launches.

Why stop at Bethesda?

KCD 1 & 2 - Jank
Gothic / Risen - Jank
STALKER - Jank

The eurojank trifecta I would say even

Witcher 3 - Jank
Elden ring - Jank
Mass Effect - Jank
KOTOR - Massive jank
Alpha protocol - Jank
Monster Hunter - LOL jank
Vampire the Masquerade - Definition of jank, fixed by ton of mods

Could go on and on

What's the definition of a little jank? As you say, to be determined when the game launches.

But youtubers extrapolating that to

Is 100% peak stupidity. For sure wait for game launch then you can have fun as long as you're as fair as other RPG jank (they won't)

But at this stage, from a "a little jank is fun" comment to the above thumbnails?

Funny GIF

Director "You gotta accept a little jank to do something creative and fun"

Youtube 'personality': "Avowed director admits game is broken as fuck"

Unfortunately YouTuber thumbnails are out of our control. However, her comment about jank right before launch is a little strange and worth noting. Especially after the delay.

"is a little jank kind of a good thing?" "You gotta accept a little jank to do something fun and creative"

→ GAME IS BROKEN AS FUCK

Said the girl who has never lifted a finger to make a videogame in her life and is just farming outrage. She's an expert.

That's not how glasses work by the way.

If logic would at least be the minimum baseline before creating a video on Youtube, they would be without jobs.

She could have an opinion if she actually saw the game but not with how those glasses are placed 🤷‍♂️

I'm hyped. Let's just wait and see how dei negatively affected the writing. Fingers crossed 🤞

I just want to say that hours of game time on Steam is pretty unreliable since you can farm hours also by just sitting in the menus.

I don't think that guy has time to idle dozens of hours in a game with his review schedule and wanting to 100% games lol

He's now at 50/50 achievements with 111 hours

The previews for a game only have to rub me the wrong way a little bit and I can easily cast it aside and never think about it again. There are so many games out there I could play instead. Current or backlog. Or so many other things I could do. The "big deal" games of the past don't mean a lot to me anymore now that I have so many options. I'm not going to play this and probably never will.
