      Ever bought a game based on some article in 40 years
      Old way was mom and pop game store, and electionics dept of general stores had open systems and open copies of every game they sold
      Mom and Pop stores were also doing buy backs and selling used games before what would become Gamestop ever Did and did game rentals before blockbuster, Netflix,and Redbox ever did.
      Eventually GameStop, Target,Walmart,etc were told not to display games and systems like that a b roll footage playing of game was broadcasted over TV screens with promo plugs (I just read the box which had good screen shots on box by then)

      When there's less hangups to developing a game in a country with social credit scores than the good ol US of A you know something is --just a teency bit fishy-- truly effed.
      How do we get back to having solid western developed games? Well, I see some changes already being made for the better. By that I mean people are waking up and voting
      with their wallets. In the next few years we'll see more of this. Unfortunately, with long development times we'll also be seeing more garbage activist games coming down
      the pike too. But, if we hold strong and support devs that actually cater to us then at least by the time the PS6 rolls out we *could* (and should) see a return to normalcy.

You know what, Wukong is born from the stone which is used to fix the broken world.... the last stone which was left alone. It is not even given the decisive gender and supposedly it is the most diverse one, no gender/monkey/minority/excluded by all other supreme beings, fighting its way out until becoming one of the gods... how come there are not enough tags for so-called DEI?

      @@karlcharron3350 I would be very surprised if you didn't know what it is.
      It is a term popularised by Critical Drinker and others to refer to the insertion of partisan (generally left or far left) politics into entertainment media in order to advance a political agenda.
      In media it most commonly refers to what most would think of as "woke".
      This being any media that has been created or altered so as to adhere to the principles of intersectionality. An extremist ideology.
      Some believe woke is only something that is obnoxiously preachy. That's not correct.

Game science, hands down, deserves a game developer of the year award, and Black myth Wukong should be game of the year. Kudos to these amazing people.

    the funniest part about toms article is that in chapter 3 is where you encounter the first female character in the game wich takes the form of a dragon and a human, aswell as the snake lady in a secret area of the game in chapter 4. in chapter 4 the entire chapter is based around a family of only female spiders that take the form of beautiful women to interract with the player. once again in chapter 5 do we encounter 2 more female characters. so clearly they spent 40 hours in the game and never made it to chapter 3 or chapter 4, i finished my first playthrough in 32 hours. no idea what they were doing for 40 hours in less than half the game.

    The backlash, hiding from the public, and negative criticism's they wished to inflict on Gamescience (and lets be honest, they would be openly cheering and leading the charge to bury this dev studio if they had their way) is exactly what they received in backlash. I absolutely do not feel an iota of empathy, sympathy, nor pity for these "journalists". Be afraid, continue to hide, stay away from the industry because this will be brought up everytime they try to resurface, when you try to destroy peoples livelihoods using disingenuous tactics, then do not cry "victim" when it happens to you.

  •  2 місяці тому +3

    "Diversity" in today propaganda is in fact: Americans point of view on the diversity in the world (in real: its their view of diversity in their own state which is globalist/mix of migrants from every part of the world). Not the real diversity in the world. Real diversity in the world is spread over big long swathes of land- villages, cities, states and countries. Very few of them living next to each other as citizens of one city/ country/ state. And ppl of those villages and cities have something that unites them. Not just a name. Culture, religion, traditions, ancestors, hardships endured.

    Black Myth Wukong is the game that serious gamers have been waiting for ages. Besides the Western brainwashed and micro transactional based games that have no concept besides greed and filthy marketing tactics and hidden agendas, Wukong has truly brought a change a big change to gaming industry. Feminist should accept and respect other cultures, their values, and their differences. Not everyone is brainwashed like the West beside. If you dont accept change and dynamics, then there would be no beauty left in other cultures and their values. Please don't make people forcefully follow your Western brain washed philosophy. See the beauty in differences, learn, and grow from it. Dont try to colonize and brainwash everyone. What you think is right might be offensive to other human beings and cultures. That's why in Japan, there is no existence of sarcasm. Leave other people and other countries alone way alone from your brainwashed propaganda and filthy agendas. Thank-you

    Maybe the IGN authors should have waited for the game to come out to claim that there are no female NPCs in the game, because there are several bosses who are clearly women. Albeit you could argue, that it is noticeable that the men have a wider variety of shapes and sizes while the women are either human looking or completely bestial in appearance. I think there are only two exeptions to this, two foxes.

    At this point, if you want to make a game of the year competitor, it's a great idea to make a game that annoys the mainstream, and also the crybabyinc crowd. It sounds petty, but when they try to gang up on a new game that's coming out, I always go to make sure I check it out, because everytime those goons dogpile a game, it turns out to be an utterly amazing must-have for a games library.
    It's a really thing as well, that every time a "games journalist" etc try to smear a game from the east, they always have the smug uppity face, it's like a character trait at this point. Also, really good video by the way! It's always refreshing to see an unbiased balanced take on situations in this industry, because god knows we really need you guys right now.
