      @@jonny-b4954 Oblivion's animations have uncanny charm that 99% appreciate and have nostalgia for. It zooms in so you can do the speechcraft minigame plus observe NPC disposition which changes based on your stats, race, actions, guild membership, etc. (unlike all the completely emotionally dead autistic loserfield NPCS) -- and at the time the facial animations were revolutionary. Nothing remotely revolutionary about loserfield, except for all the non-binary NPCs you can't kill 😆. Also Oblivion had Radiant AI which is the most advanced NPC behavior programming they've ever featured in a Bethesda game. The Oblivion AI, animations, and NPCS are the reason Wilburgur has a channel making funny oblivion content with almost 1 million subs currently. But ok bro I'm sure Loserfield is better than Oblivion cause reasons.

      I'm not saying it's bad for it's time. Though, I feel like that could be argued. It sure wasn't at the forefront though, even back then. I'm not sure 99% of people have nostalgia for Oblivions fascial animations either. I'm not arguing that anyways.
      I didn't care for the speech craft minigame in Oblivion personally. And dislike how Starfield zooms into static characters, doing nothing, facing you, during conversations. I don't like it in Oblivion either, but I can let it slide for Oblivion due to the time it was made. And like you say, there was a minigame attached to reactions.
      But yeah, the RadiantAI is cool. I miss every NPC having a reason to exist and going about their daily cycle. I never said Starfield was revolutionary. Nor was it good. I think it looks like shit. And the game is mediocre. But I do think it's technically on a far higher level than Oblivion in facial animation. For sure with the main characters which have most likely had actual humans touch up and fix. Oblivion also had even worst faces in general. I can forgive it for that though. But not Starfield. It's faces are still 20 years later, weird as hell. @mr.sophistication3232 @@mr.sophistication3232

      Most entertainment started permanently declining right after the late 90's ended , gaming's last great unadulterated age was the early 2000's , even social media peaked a long time ago after only the first few years of UA-cam and Myspace , before social media truly became mainstream and when this was all pure , and unregulated , and you truly could escape online with real nerds , real outcasts , and real distinct authentic unpoliced culture , not just a trendy carbon copy community all using the same 5 platforms. Most gamers today who work on the journalistic side or even alot of the big succesful influencers/streamers are fake phony opportunistic Imposters of the community to me , who I bet were not really gaming hardcore during the golden age and wouldn't be caught dead In a videogame store back In the day before It was truly accepted and the negative stigmas were lifted. The majority of the modern faces that represent gaming and run everything today are mostly bandwagoners just there for either the cool by association popularity or the money (or both).

      ​@@fawkkyutuu8851Further proof that 90% of the officially recognized voices of authority in the general space only ever provide surface level analysis and give superficial scores. If you have talked with anyone who is passionate about video games in real life you would know that the passion has been sucked out of the online space entirely. Every online space is sanitized, corpratized and devoid of any real authenticity. That passion is only found amongst the most diehard of fans and players who still cling on to what they love while everyone else just capitalizes on the industry as much as they can.
      That care and joy now only exists in the memories shared between friends of a time long passed when we could actually enjoy playing video games without all the policies, microtransactions, unoptimization and shallow surface level politics. People say that we are just getting old but ive always kept my mind open to new games. Il admit that there are plenty of good games today here and there, some indies and fewer tripple A but they do exist. But even I have to admit that games today are simply of a worse quality than the games we used to play. Its not a matter of nostalgia, its got everything to do with the objective decline in quality.
      Again, the only semblance of passion or real genuine care about video games comes from a handful of developers and between the friends who still play today.

      I’ve noticed in almost every single game I’ve played, when there needs to be a tough/strong/deadly/capable/badass ancillary character they just automatically make it a female. Be it a person guarding a door in the apocalypse, a bodyguard, a deadly assassin, a person of authority etc, it doesn’t matter, it literally has to be a chick. They can’t have it be some muscular 6’ 2” guy or anything like that fill the role anymore. Nope, too toxic, always gotta be some petite 90 lbs woman who’d get bodied by any average sized guy in reality. It’s like who are they kidding with this?

      Most entertainment started permanently declining right after the late 90's ended , gaming's last great age was the early 2000's , even social media peaked a long time ago after only the first few years of UA-cam and Myspace , before social media truly became mainstream and when this was all pure , and unregulated , and you truly could escape online with real nerds , real outcasts , and real distinct authentic unpoliced culture , not just a trendy carbon copy community all using the same 5 platforms. Most gamers today who work on the journalistic side or even alot of the big succesful influencers/streamers are fake phony opportunistic Imposters of the community to me , who I bet were not really gaming hardcore during the golden age and wouldn't be caught dead In a videogame store back In the day before It was truly accepted and the negative stigmas were lifted. The majority of the modern faces that represent gaming and run everything today are mostly bandwagoners just there for either the cool by association popularity or the money (or both).

The thing that annoys me about it when these new trailers feature so many blaque characters is that I know, for a fact, that these games are made by whyte people, and it annoys me that they believe that they have to dedicate their talent and labour to represent other races instead of their own. It's very commie. I wish there were more blaque game developers. If a blaque game dev made a game full of blaque characters it would not bother me one bit.

The RDA (Human) route had your avatar die, and you continue fighting for the humans, eventually resulting in you being able to use the Dragon Gunship (the giant green one from the movie) like in the final battle of the movie, in the final mission/area of the game. It was semi open world and the player, for the time, honestly had a good bit of freedom. Plus it had a strategic world map for you to conquer, you could build units, invade other sectors with them, capturing key sectors which had specialisations etc.

      But I will not idealize old games and demonize new ones. There are objective facts. If video games were in shape and in check, then developers would not rely on old titles and gameplay recipes from a decade ago. "Normies" are kind of different topics. They are illegible because their brain is very tired after working in the office or in the factory.

I'll have to wait ten years to see a game at the same level of story development, choices, etc." Guess what? Even more years have passed and there is still no game that even comes close to the bar set by Vegas... Although I can't call it high, Vegas was flawed, although many people like to pretend that it is not.
      The only thing that other developers have learned is lesbian characters and followers. Now they are in every game. And the "centrists" tried to convince me that it seemed to me and I'm "reactionary" or something. Don't believe their lies, they are trying to demoralize you.

    32:18 she was absolutely made for political reasons. Just look up what she was supposed to look when she was revealed (alongside Alex Casey/Max Payne/Sam Lake) in Quantum Break. She was white as snow blonde. It was an easter egg about the game where she would star but what do you know, years later she is somehow black with the same name, role, partner and game she was supposed to be in as the white woman was. It honestly didn't have to be the same actress like it was those years ago but funny how the new actress isn't white anymore. Just what I've noticed. Oh and her name is Saga Andersson which sound norse/finnish to me and Saga was a seer in norse mythology so it's even more concerning how on earth she is black.

    I was honestly expecting Avowed to be cancelled or forever stuck in development hell, considering that the game apparently went through 3 reboots and has been bleeding staff for years. Reminds me of Andromeda in that regard. It's a shame too, since Avowed is suppose to be in the same universe as the Pillars of Eternity games, which I'm a fan of. In fact, we could have gotten a Pillars 3, but Obsidian seems to want to compete with Bethesda instead. Sawyer is also not involved which is another red flag. For all his faults, Pillars was his brain-child so him not being involved only further cements my apathy towards Avowed. Deadfire might have truly been Obsidian's last good game.

    I just saw the face model for Aloy from Horizon Forbidden West. I never knew the disparity in her appearance compared to Aloy was that significant. Between her and the face model / VA for Nicole in the Dead Space "Remake," it's clear now that western developers only care about appeasing the almighty Anita Sarkeesian by uglifying all female characters.
    I swear... Tanya Clarke who plays Nicole is 50 and looks young, beautiful, and vibrant compared to her video game counterpart who is supposedly 40 and looks like someone's grandmother.
    Just about every time I stumble across a photo of a mo-cap actress / Voice Actress/Face Model for a female character, the flesh-and-blood person is much more attractive than their video game counterpart.
    And on that note... I can't stand Peter Parker's new PS5 face model. He looks 16 now. Nowhere near his mid to late 20's. And the damn light doesn't even bounce off of this "visual upgrade to better compensate facial capture." The difference in visuals and emotion between the PS4 and PS5 May's bedside scene is atrocious.
    So... male characters are remade to look younger and more attractive... and female characters are made to look older and uglier.
    That's how it is now, eh? FFS. And all to appease people on Twitter who don't play games and openly mock and antagonize the gaming community.
    I couldn't even finish HFW. I'm the type who likes to complete most or all side missions before the final showdown. The incessant "down with the patriarchy, girl power, men destroy everything and are inherently evil and menacing, women will fix everything and are inherently good and benevolent saviors," etc, etc that was the not so subtle subliminal messaging in every damn side mission... which was enough to make me quit before finishing.
    FFS. Almost every male character was either evil, criminal, predatory, brazenly misogynistic, etc. And for the off chance a male character was good and not a pathetic, effeminate coward, they were usually non-white and clearly outshined by their female counterparts, whether it be physically, intellectually, courageously, maturity, etc. Or they were just an oafish drunk.
    And the female NPCs were always "being held back by their male counterparts," and if the stubborn sexist men would just step aside, they could finally show just how much better they were as warriors than those damned misogynistic men who are always holding them back. Or they simply easily outshined their male NPC counterparts and were the ones to survive battles. Naturally...
    I'm no stranger to suspending my disbelief to enjoy media. I've been watching women kick ass since Ripley and Connor. I've been playing as men, women, robots, dragons, and Lombaxes since as far back as I can remember. Even as a former service member, I couldn't care less that the Guerrilla Devs want to push the agenda that women are just as capable warriors as men... but the clear emphasis on the female soldiers in this game and their sheer abundance... combined with the never ending anti-men/subliminal feminist messaging in every bit of dialogue... is what wrecked all suspension of disbelief and enjoyment.
    I'm here to grapple-gun-launch myself into their air and fire explosive arrows at robot wooly mammoths that fire lazers... and without any care that the MC is female... I'm NOT here to be lectured about how I'm inherently evil for having XY chromosomes.
    And the funny thing is... it's not even Aloy who's insufferable. It's almost everyone and everything around her that pushes the woke feminist messaging in some form or another.
    Now that I think about it... when I quit, it was right around when "The Enduring" turned out to be a tiny, frail elderly woman... who apparently beat 6 or more men 3 times her size and half her age... THAT was when I bowed out. Not simply because "The Enduring" was a woman, but because I recalled just how much those male NPCs were singing praises about "The Enduring" and Aloy after losing to her. Their simpish dialogue perfectly exemplified the developers who made the game... and their brazen pandering to the woke/feminist crowd.
    No. Wait. I think I quit when I had to help that elderly women and her granddaughter near the mountain base reconnect with the man she met once as a young woman... aka... not her husband. So... I was basically a flower delivery service for a woman reminiscing about the man who alpha-widowed her. And the granddaughter was on board with it all. There was no "but gram... what about grand-dad? Didn't you love him?" ...smh...
    There were a few trans-allegory missions or NPCs, but there was one that pissed me off. The guy found out his previous lover might be alive and held prisoner by enemy forces. And for having the audacity for seeing for himself and attempting to rescue her from imprisonment and torture... he's demonized for doing so by both his current new flame when they're barely even an item yet... and by the previous lover. The previous lover who not only joined the enemy faction... but in doing so, reinvented herself with a new identity, both in name and appearance (remember... trans allegory...) because apparently society back at home was an oppressive and stifling patriarchy that held her back... 😩... and she apatheticly shrugs off the guy as if his feelings and motivations were of no consequence and of absolutely no significance to her... even when it was made clear that it was he who was fair to her and treated her like an equal more than any other. At least they got the "my happiness matters more than anything" feminist mindset right. The dude is grieving for the loss of a person who in essence doesn't exist anymore despite being alive, someone he navigated through hostile enemy territory to rescue... and yet he's the villain somehow... because MeN bAd... and how dare he "cheat" on his current not-girlfriend to do so...
    FFS...
    Guerilla Games went way too hard in the paint this time with the "girl power, down with the patriarchy" political agenda crap they're shoving into their games on the back end. Sometimes so hard, they accidentally showcase some of the bs that transpires within the feminist way of thinking and its sometimes blatant misandry.
    You don't notice it in the main campaign, but as you progress through every side mission, you notice a pattern. And it adds up.

    I agree, gaming is in a very bad state. Too many agendas, too much politics, too much virtue signaling and not enough fun. In the late 80s, the industry was recovering from the crash, reinventing itself. The 90s was all about THE COOL. THE XTREME. THE FUN. The 00s kept with the same elements, took the new tech, new ideas, the new money, the new audiences and kept it pushing. We got great, timeless classics just like the eras before. The internet and streaming brought new eyes (looking at you mega corps) to the hobby. And that right there was the beginning of the end. Once the corps figured out they can finesse numbers, consumers, and impact, they seen they can get a foothold with less work being put in. Think of it like the music industry. Suits can fix the first week sales, bot the streams, and purchase good takes on the artist/music. Its the same for games. Will the industry get back to the golden era? It could but people gotta put their foot down on EVERYTHING!!!! All of the BS. Or, support what you like. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

      It's never going back to the golden era.
      For music, the golden era was the 1960s to the 1970s/1980s, starting with the Beatles and going up to Metallica and Megadeth. All the popular music I hear today is Gen Z trash, made to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Not only are the lyrics horrible and the beats insufferable, Gen Z at the top isn't even trying to be good.
      There is some indie music done by Millennials/Gen Z that is probably worth a listen, but none of it compares to the stuff Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and company made several decades ago.
      What is passing for video games today is a complete joke. I was around when Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Deus Ex, Halo: Combat Evolved, GTA San Andreas all released hot on the shelves.
      It's bad enough the games are generally unplayable on release, but to combine leftist politics that hates straight white men is a cardinal sin. I'm sick and tired of seeing these ugly female protagonists with leftist agendas in these games.

    Noone had a problem playing as a woman in Tomb Raider, Perfect Dark or Bayonetta. Nor did anyone have a problem playing as a black character in San Andreas, Crackdown or GTA V. Thats because those characters made sense and it wasnt done as some kind of weird virtue signalling and diversity box- ticking exercise. If game developers focused more on making QUALITY games than diversity in their games, there wouldnt be so much uninspired and/or broken games constantly being pumped out.
    Tbh, I'm kind of glad not many great games are being made. Just gives me more time to go back and play other great games that I either never played or want to play again. Been playing Brutal Legend recently, just played through GTA IV: BoGT for the first time, and also started a new playthrough of Mass Effect 2. Cant complain really.

      I played mass effect as a hot redhead, and I am a Asian dude. I seriously have no idea why they are pushing these fake diversity stuff
