Support NeoGAF

[Nico_D]

yeah, up till recently, i liked eurogamer. oh, well...

I stopped reading them 3+ years ago. There were some absurdity in comments section and the mods were all in it. And some game reviews got twisted by get some political views. I decided to stop visiting their said and I haven't. Once this year because of some news story but that's it. And won't.

 

[balls of snow]

Everyone will be there soon, and probably are there in OT. Game looks to have year long conversational legs and will still be hot topic at GOTY time.

You're right though. Game deserves more attention than lunatics. But I also think some of us who remember what those people did on and to this board are just enjoying the end result. EL was the only one who they defamed and attacked financially. But the people who started that place ruined a lot of good times for older members here based on bullshit. And banned (from here on their way out) who knows how many of us for not bending the knee to their false gods. Can't help but enjoy watching the bill come due.

Also:

Et tu, Daniel Ahmad.

Looks like Gamespot isn't going to be reviewing the game. I'm sure there are some people who work there that want to play the game, but they're afraid of the backlash from certain co-workers.

Remember when the smoking hot Jess McDonell was there in gamespot au. She would totally be on the frontlines streaming this. Maybe.

Oh, have they actually deleted it? I wondered if it was now visible only to members.

If that’s gone, no reason not to have a Hogwarts Legacy thread.

Can't tell you if that's the case, I got banned for a month because I said my trans best friend doesn't give a shit about me playing HL and that I donated game's cost to the charity that saved his life when transitioning. Apparently that was excusing trans hate and conflating the topic I then requested a complete deletion because if that's how they are going to roll on actually trying to discuss then fuck em.

Someone else may be able to see it, but even if it's hidden the URL should still pull cache data and it's not.

 

[vodka-bull]

This is sadly true. Good to know it isn't as bad in Germany yet.

Give it a year. The time it takes for poltical shit to swap over from the US is decreasing, we already have protests regarding prochoice/prolife here in austria

 

[Freeman76]

What is hilarious is no matter how much they bend the knee to the psychopaths at REEEE it’s only a matter of time before those lunatics come for you too. You’d think these douchebags would learn.

Gaf was only ever off the rails because of all those cunts who now reside at era. The split was the best thing that could have happened to GAF, it meant all them wierdos congregated elsewhere and GAF has regrown better than ever. I used to hate posting om GAF but now I do feel pretty chill about it as most people here seem fairly normal and the mods are reasonable. Pre Era GAF was the opposite. Good riddance to all of them nutjobs!!

 

[DareDaniel]

Why do you keep conflating drag queens with the trans lobby? Many (most) drag queens identify as men when not in drag. They are not all trans, and have been around long before the trans activism started. And they're certainly not part of this current anti-woman bullshit some in the trans lobby are pushing. If you're going to comment on a sub culture, at least make an attempt to understand it first.

I told you that drag queens are indoctrinating kids with the terms like "cis" and cringe stuff like infinite genders and preferred pronouns. You still haven't told me what is so important about the drag queen story hour that the rest of the world should follow. Oh some of them become men again the moment they remove their woman clothes and makeup, if anything you're just proving they are sick in the head. also, using terms like "identify as" makes you sound like you part of the cult.

Bro we don't do the politics thing here.

This is a thread about video game reviews for a children's game.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

They should dump all the trolls and genuine instigators against this game into lake Titicaca

 

[DeviantBoi]

Oh snap:



If only he red-pilled (/s) a week ago, his sites would be getting big number traffic today.

He’s right.

Moderators there are so far up their own asses.

They say that the reason for the HL ban was because people agreed to it… without mentioning that anyone who would have suggested that the game should be discussed would have been banned for “dismissing transphobia” or something like that.

"dismissing". I got a 3 months ban a few days ago, because i said forspoken doesnt get shit on, because it has a black female protagonist. I was "dismissing racism concerns" according to the mods. Well okay.

Putting it back onto HL, you can even support trans rights wholeheartedly and get banned even that UK thread there were people getting banned who supported the cause. Chaos.

It's much older that. In ancient Greece all female characters were played by men because women were forbidden from acting. Even in the renaissance period in Europe all female characters in theater plays were men in drag.

 

[Dr. Claus]

I love how people are only *now* claiming that Era is insane. They always were. They were always ran by mentally deranged inmates who were the lowest of sub human scum.

Also love how people are trying to ruin others lives because they play the "wizard game". Fucking pathetic cunts, the lot of them.

Acting != Drag Shows. Kabuki theatre is done mostly by men, no one would have an issue with a kabuki actor reading to kids. Comparing the two as being similar shows how disingenuous the point being made is.

yep. why is it that no one's ever suggested 'erotic dancer story hour' as being a good idea? 'erotic dancers are people, too!'...

Uhhhh, drag shows are acting. Literally lipsyncing to songs, how is that not a performance? Have you...seen a drag show?

how is dancing/dressing suggestively not a performance? how is stripping not a performance?...

simply being a performance doesn't automatically make something suitable for a non-adult audience. are you suggesting that it does?...

&, if you're gonna have a drag queen story hour, to show kids how drag queens are people, just like everyone else, then why not an erotic dancer story hour? or are they not people?...

What if I told you that prior to the 20th century, if a woman wore trousers/pants/jeans/etc, it would have been considered "drag." And it was super offensive to do so.

If you think that adhering to the stupid, arbitrary rules that society places on people (and then changes at random) determines whether or not one is sick in the head, then you actually might be the person who is sick in the head.

"That small quirk represents an undercurrent of casual thoughtlessness that flows through Hogwarts Legacy. I very rarely feel like the game is working in service of the universe it’s representing;"

Pros

• Hogwarts is a design marvel
• Flying is magical
• Great environmental puzzling
• Lots of spells to experiment with

Cons

• Nonsensical story
• Uninspired gameplay
• Drab open-world design
• Repetitive combat

If you genuinely can't tell the difference between an acting gig that has little to no sexual connotations or references with one that is only about just sexual connotations and references, I can't help you.

Pantomime literally has full drag queens in it, it's part of the tradition. The drag queen will tend to make some bawdy remarks and double entendres that go over the heads of the kiddies. It's fun.

It's weird how many people are ok with pervs talking to their kids.

Y'all need help and hopefully none of you are parents.

 

[Unrivaled18]

Whoa, I just noticed the other place nuked the Rowling thread. I wonder if the owners of the forum finally stepped in

No, I am pretty sure they hid the thread from non members.

The people in the thread were crying about this site making fun of them and asking to have it hidden lmao.

 

[Meicyn]

with one that is only about just sexual connotations and references

I’ve been to a drag queen show with friends who took me to one and can assure you that like anything else in life, things come in variations. The show I went to was just dudes dressed as chicks lip syncing basic bitch pop songs. I was bored to tears.

Drag is dressing up as the opposite gender. That’s literally it. On its own, it is no more damaging to a child than Bugs Bunny doing drag on Looney Tunes.

Now, if there is explicitly sexual content that would be suited for adults only, then yes, I am opposed to kids seeing it. The issue isn’t the drag, it’s the content coming with the drag. If it’s age appropriate, I don’t see the problem.

No. Crossdressing is dressing as the opposite gender. Drag is dressing in a hyper sexualized caricature of that gender. I don't think you understand what drag is.

FUCK YES!

We funa destroy that Amazon shipping wrapper lol

"shiiiiiiit a team that historically made children's games just couldn't make a AAA solid title like this, I mean thats never happened, like you don't see some team go from Barbie Horse Racing to like Dead Space, it just doesn't happen broz." - Probably Some Fucking Bro Dude.

The open world did look kind of drab from what little I've seen so far. Kind of a deal breaker for me with OW games.

I might help myself to one, but my room is just filled with too much lol

I have a 45" Samsung 4K tv that use for gaming, a 27" 4K monitor that I use for business (some PC gaming) and a 25"drawing tablet where some times I use both the Samsung and Huion drawing tablet at once (like as a secondary screen to extend to if I'm color matching or something)

So though I'd want an ultrawide monitor, I don't know where I'd put that thing now that I think about it lol

I might want to get one of theses in a few years lol

Eurogamer have become worse and worse last few years. Pretending things don't exist that you know do exist is something that should stop about the age of 5, right? What tools they are. I guess they won't put up a DF link to any coverage they do of it, just to protect their weird logic.

Woah this....escalated quickly



SlimySnake John has these meltdowns, feel bad for the guy. Wish he could just relax. Don't need HIM to cover it (would honestly rather him do PSVR2 like he is), but someone from DF should be

 

[Art The Clown]

I miss the year or so after 9/11 when the USA (at least) was a great place to live and the only real offensive thing that was mainstream was Howard Stern.


Anyway, the game is great. I’ve been playing on Balanced with locked FPS on a CX and it’s been a treat. Game is gorgeous and really smooth. Im not a huge open world lover but this game has me hooked.

He seriously needs to just take like two months off of being online. Genuinely worried for his well being.

 

[Jaybe]

Yeah it would be good for him to do so. He goes on these unhinged rants a bit too frequently. He seems have some slight disorder of some sort (I honestly mean that in a sympathetic way, just seeing it enough in others). shame he also seems to be addicted to the drama it generates and the dopamine hits he probably gets from it.

This is nothing new, he's done shit like that before.

In this instance he has obviously gotten a lot of flak for DF's lack of decision regarding HL, but that's the price you pay for not making a clear statement one way or the other for one of the biggest games of 2023 when you have 1.3mil subs on youtube.

yeah, he has suicidal thoughts on Twitter every few months so i make it a point to not criticize him on Twitter or YouTube comments on his vids. I don’t want to be the reason he goes and ends it. He hasn’t posted here in a few years but i might just stop criticizing his vids here too just in the off chance he comes back. He really needs to get off Twitter and era.
