Anyone remember the times where there were Console wars, lol? Now its all pro and antiwoke wars.
What the world has become.
I'm sure a big part of people downvoting this game haven't even played it.
I'm not defending The Veilguard, though.
I haven't played Spiderman but i've heard its woke, other people said its only 2% of the game. Who to believe?

Game is at 80k+. You never know. If it holds for a few weeks, it might hit 100k+ if there's any black friday deals. Then hold at that as Xmas is around the corner for more sales.

It all depends on how much delusion u can tolerate, im sure many westerners, especially from liberal states can take in lots more(coz they have to deal with that on a daily basis in irl, they are trained to not only tolerate but accept it) than ppl with traditional worldview who for example like myself live in smalltown of eastern europe and in my 42years of life saw/knew 1 guy who is gay(he was actually my best friend in college, amazing wingman and funny as hell dude;) and never even encountered any trans person.


About spiderman1- its perfectly fine with 0/close to 0 wokeness, spiderman2 tho got infested with it in many possible ways, from character redesign(MJ looks like 50yo mother of clark kent from smallville tv series, while peter looks like her teenage son) to story and all kinds of bending of logic in gameplay(dont wanna spoil anything here).

Everybody at IGN following the script. Not every game needs to make all the money? What does that even mean?



You know what, maybe Killjoy-NL Killjoy-NL was right. What I'm seeing is that some of the most notorious Xbros are batting hard for this game at the moment and I really don't understand why:



In addition to ManaByte ManaByte , O Ozriel , pasterpl pasterpl and our little treasure vaibhavpisal vaibhavpisal .

Whats wrong guys, is Indiana Jones coming in hot? Will this be a point of discussion going forwards:?



Feel free to tell everyone and let it all off your chests. How bad is it? What should everyone be expecting?

Saw this screenshot in a Spanish group. Not sure if it's real or not but if it is no English translation can make it justice to the horror being felt by people who can understand it.

It's basically "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" in inclusive, when Spanish has no inclusive. This is pure agenda.

Personally didnt see anything woke in new indiana jones game altho that "lead narrative director's" look is questionable at best, the thing is- will he be able to make good game/story or will he pour weird shit into the product like DA:V devs? We will see soon enough.
It wont be even sony vs microsoft discussion since new IJ game is just few months exclusive anyways.

I mean I believe it. This fits with that disgusting colonizer term latinx. Butchering the language one step at a time. Who wrote that nonsense? enemigue and amigue? lol what

Mr. Community
Seeing wilds beta hit around 500k concurrent, I'm not sure how 80k for such a big franchise is acceptable. Have we reached the timeline yet where the games lack of success is blamed on fascists and transphobes?

wilds is going to be huge... it's a bit rough technically so if they have a launch ps5 pro upgrade it'll present the most compelling yet reason to transition to the new console

lol…I loved all of the dragon age games, I love the franchise and I don’t understand the whole woke “issue” in games. I don’t care if lead character is LGBTQ, or what skin colour they have or sexual preferences. I am playing games since mid 80s, never had a problem with this element of games. I think that this whole woke debate going on at the moment across all media and forms of entertainment is f*cking stupid. People seem to care more about shallow things(sexual orientation of in game/movie characters, skin colour etc.) instead of things like story, gameplay features, re-playability, innovation etc. I judge games based on how I feel while playing them not by fictional character preferences/live details/or how do they look like.

And why you even referencing Indiana Jones and linking to this tweet? Judging someone because the way they look, or their sexuality is very low.

This is flat out “defeat.” And they know it. As of the first weekend, it didn’t sell enough. End of discussion.

With some Black Friday, sales, and what have you, maybe they can eek out break even, but there is not a fucking chance it’s anywhere close to that right now.

True.

During the console wars, you either bought a Playstation, or you were retarded.

Now it's getting confusing:
If you're hardcore Woke, you're retarded.
If you're hardcore anti-Woke, you're retarded as well.
If you're somewhere in between, you're considered retarded by those retards, because they don't realize how retarded they are. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Keep in mind there were 25 hours today, so we need to normalize the CCUs by the correction factor 25/24 which gives us 93,143 24hr-day CCU hours. So if we are being fair then it got well over 90K, and you can pretty much round that up to 100,000.

Hopefully we can petition SteamDB to update the all time peak or at least put an asterisk next to it.

The game they accused of being bigoted actually did better. 7 years ago when Steam had less users. Made by an indie developer. Also a single player action rpg. Would love to read the spin how this isn't a failure for Bioware.

It’s like poetry, etc etc

Anyway, disastrous result on Steam, offically. Wokeness, bad writing, annoying characters, lack of depth, repetitive gameplay, all played a part here.

The wokeness, bad writing and annoying characters are all intertwined btw.

It's a shame there doesn't seem to be much data for Dragon Age 2, which seems the most appropriate game to compare it to. This is the culmination of the direction the series started with that game.
