ShaggySnacks, do games w "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books"

Them books are woke.

neon_nova,

Tldr?

harrys_balzac,

Females characters who live independently.

BmeBenji,

ehhhhhhh

I mean Ciri does but she’s a child throughout the books.

Yennefer and Triss are almost only as independent as their insatiable lust for Geralt lets them be. Kind of like Triss and Shani in the Witcher 1 but I’d argue they’re worse in that game than in the books

Lots of respect for Doug Cockle, the VA. He could use the outcry to try to get another big deal and make more money as the main character, but instead he recognizes the witcher is bigger than him or his character and is happy to have another person take the lead role and the spotlight.

Damn you. I will never not upvote this! It perfectly encapsulates conservatives and maga freaks…

What ISN’T woke to conservatives/republicans anymore?

Please don’t answer that, I know the answer, but come on. Pick up a book.

    think about it your cock is soaking up the estrogen right from the tapp. Woke afff

    ^/s^

    biofaust,

    You suddenly made it clear in my mind that most talk about hormones and other “gym biochem” reeks of body horror.

    brsrklf,

    I am currently ingesting a cocktail of complex chemicals that are manipulating my sensory receptors, sending electrical impulses through my neural system and altering the balance of neurotransmitters in my brain.

    Anyway, I’m kinda enjoying that sandwich.

    biofaust,

    Good one, although still sounding benign. Hormones and in general stuff related to flesh is when this shit hits MeatCanyon territory.

    rtxn,

    Having a consistent definition of “woke” is too woke for some fossils.

    Woke did not exist before 2015, so everything created before that year is, in fact, absolutely based. Including all those apolitical masterpieces I grew up with, such as Metal Gear Solid and Bioshock. I wish they still made fun games instead of insisting on shoving leftist commentary down out throats. I really want to enjoy gaming again but developers are woke leftists now :(

    Lucky for us, the glorious Nippon country is untouched by woke. No, I don’t know Japan and I’ve never visited it, but i play a lot of VNs, which is basically the same thing.

    EDIT: In case it wasn’t clear… /s

    Ledericas,

    the massive increase of “woke” by conservative began around the time trumps 1st term, it only amplyfied just befored the pandemic, and during the pandemic. when disney shows, movies, trek made all these right wingers all uncomfortable.

    Inaminate_Carbon_Rod,

    They had overused CRT.

    They needed a new Buzzword.

    DEI is the current boogeyman anyway.

    Ledericas,

    CRT is also something they couldnt grasp or understanding, i felt like that dint stick too long, like woke did. crt is meant for LAW SCHOOL graduate studies. it was harder for low-brain conservatives to comprehend then woke and dei.

    DEI is the new woke, but woke still is used heavily too.

    Zero22xx,

    If Legend of Zelda first came out today, you can bet your ass these people would be complaining about Link not being ‘manly’ enough.

    brsrklf,

    The first trailer of Breath of the Wild had a lot of people literally wondering whether that Link was a girl. I didn’t see a lot of complaining about it, I wasn’t looking for some though.

    Also, Gerudo town. I’m not sure what kind of mental gymnastics you’d need to shit on “wokeness” and somehow filter out BotW completely from it.

    Aielman15,
    @Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

    Half the things those idiots like would be ‘woke’ if they came out today. Any movie/videogame/(I would include books but these chuds don’t read) including a female lead, a non-white person, or a disabled individual is doing virtue signalling and pandering to minorities. But back then, chuds didn’t have the internet to tell them what to hate.

    There are tons of things that nobody cared about years ago that wouldn’t fly today. Fairy Oddparents having a male individual become pregnant. LOTR’s Éowyn killing the witch king on her own. Avatar: TLA has a few ‘woke’ episodes as well - for example, one where the male leads learns how to fight from a woman, and another where the female lead needs to convince a male wizard to teach her magic, which was a man-only practice.

    If they were released today, you’d find them in thumbnails on YT with “cringe”, “woke” or “DEI” written in CAPS all over the place.

    Zero22xx,

    Absolutely. Also Power Rangers for having a diverse cast that includes girls who kick ass too, and Captain Planet for having both a diverse cast and ecological consciousness. And X-Men for the same reasons they shat on X-Men '97. And Sonic the Hedgehog for being anti-authoritarian and having little PSAs about tolerance and being a good person. And Justice League Unlimited for showcasing female heroes just as much as male heroes. Powerpuff Girls for obvious reasons.

    Back then they called everything they didn’t like “satanic” or “evil” anyway. Before they realised they could trick idiot kids into joining their cause by calling it “woke” and packaging it as rebellion instead of pearl clutching and puritanical nonsense.

    brsrklf,

    And Sonic the Hedgehog for being anti-authoritarian and having little PSAs about tolerance and being a good person.

    That would be very funny to complain about those because those PSAs were enforced on the studios by the FCC. Lots of cartoons from that era had them, including fucking G.I. Joe (that’s where “Now you know, and knowing is half the battle” comes from).

    Later Animaniacs parodied the shit out of these with absurd “wheel of morality” segments.

    TaiCrunch,

    ioi-xd.net/files/wokeornot.html

    As it turns out, not a lot.

    brsrklf, (edited )

    Many diverse characters all fighting back against their unfair economic situation.

    “… and that’s terrible.”

    I also remember Portal 2 being on that list for “Most male characters are being depicted as incompetent compared to female characters” or something.

    Dude. There are 4 characters in the whole game, counting one that’s dead but probably has the most characterization. Two are male. One guy is definitely a moron by design, but the other was definitely not incompetent. Mad, evil, sure. But he certainly achieved stuff.

    I hope my simple annoyances of painting my nails as a man gives these type of people high blood pressure.

    Anything that vibes with the voting base is woke.

    buddascrayon,

    I mean, if you look up “gamergate” and see the real reason why these little whiny bitches had such a shit fit. You can see that a lot of male gamers are a bunch of whiny little bitches who throw idiotic tantrums whenever anything highlights women in the gaming world.

    mohab, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    I've never spent more than $20 on a game 😂 like ever 😂 CEOs be crazy.

    Linktank, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    No thanks.

    ABetterTomorrow, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    Ok…… then do borderlands 1. That’s fine.

    OmegaMan, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    Is anyone really excited for borderlands anymore? Feel like 2 of the last 3 were pretty mid.

    samus12345,

    1 - good

    2 - good

    everything else - meh

    I’ll enjoy buying it in 5 years during a Steam sale.

    There’s an overabundance of games out there. I can wait.

    peetabix, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    Have any large developers ever made small high quality games? Or is that just not sustainable? I suppose the games would have to be repayable.

    secret300, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    But is it any good? Just because the budget is higher doesn’t mean it’s good. I didn’t like the story and writing of 3 but the rest of the game I enjoyed. I’m kinda expecting the same, hopefully. Every AAA release somehow gets worse every year tho

    13igTyme,

    I could look past the story and enjoy the gameplay. But the game itself still sucked and was very empty. A few months after launch they did an event where each week a different planet had a lot event and you could target items. 3 of the planets only had one or two areas to even farm decent numbers. Most of the game is empty.

    Combine that with my own personal issue with Gearbox removing the official forums, (which had years of builds and information going back to BL1) and a certain YouTuber stealing content and using modded weapons and then denying it. I have no interest in BL4.

    The old gearbox is dead. Even watching the video it just looks like reused skills. Oh look another character that puts enemies into floating balls, how original.

    Bakkoda, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    “Initial sales fall short of predictions”

    At this point i appreciate the heads up from all the studios. Makes not buying the games much easier if you don’t even get on the hype train.

    7arakun, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    I feel like we keep seeing this headline. “AAA studio says current prices can’t support current budgets”

    I almost never buy games at $60. I buy everything on sale, and there are constantly sales and way more games than I can play. They can charge whatever they want, I personally will be paying less.

    Will the market bear $80 games? Maybe. I feel like a better strategy would be to reign in scope and budget and sell games at prices most people can afford. But who knows?

    Yeller_king,

    Yeah, and half the time I prefer the games that were originally $20-$40 MSRP that I bought 50% off.

    7arakun,

    Yeah, I joke with my friends that game quality is inversely correlated with install size. 100GB+ open world or multiplayer game? Probably mid. 50MB indie game? Probably stays installed for the next 10 years.

    _spiffy, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games
    @_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

    I’ve been buying $80 for years thanks to being Canadian!

    samus12345,

    Now it’ll be $110!

    Blackmist, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

    So $89.99 then.

    Special edition with a 6" plastic Temu tat figurine and 1000 FREE BorderBucks will be $249.99.
