@@MidNiteMenaceOfficial the non woke indies need to be supported with the cash we would have used towards AAA games if they hadn't been woke. Without the based indies, gaming will die.

It's also crazy how many women in general do the exact same thing, for the exact same reason.
The gameplay sure isn't all that matters. The whole package matters.
If graphics didn't matter, aetists would be out of work, we would stick to dots, lines at mlost.
Besides, if the devs make woke abominations you really think they know what good gameplay is like?
@@denkerbosu3551 What does graphics have to do with all this?! LMAO
Exactly. Even before the whole woke stuff, I do have a vivid example of a game that failed because of that same reason. From a beloved franchise mind you.
Marvel VS Capcom: Infinite
While the gameplay is a fresh look into the game, alongside with fresh mechanics... The presentation, graphics, story, music and more... Yeah, they aren't that great, which is what lead that game to fail horribly.
Even moreso when Disney was very uptight on characters to put in the roster for the Marvel side
Video game characters then:
-Solid Snake
-Carl Johnson
-Nico Bellic
-The doom slayer
-Master Chief
-Ezio Auditore
-Raiden (Metal gear)
-Raiden (Mortal Kombat)
-Kyle Crane
-Dante
-Scorpion
-Vaas Montenegro
-Gordon Freeman
-The whole L4D and L4D2 cast
-Agent 47
Etc.
Video game characters now:
...The thing is, I don't even remember any of 'em.
Nico Bellic is the best Grand Theft Auto character.
raiden from genshin
Where's Leon?
Video game character now: John Elden Ring
we all love solid snake and raiden

I am black and i hate how those rainbow transformers are speaking for us and portraying us in games.

@@GullyFootTony thats exactly my problem nobody in our culture is having that hairstyle litteraly nobody. This hairstyle was invented to portray us and give us a new stereotype. Remember torque from The suffering? CJ from Gta san andreas?

I need to ask myself ; What's wrong with them right now? Why they doing this?
@rafidanendrapandya9647 They are owned by a media parent company that is super woke. The answer is really that simple.
Correction. Neil druckman DID NOT do it to his own game. The last of us part 1 had very little design involvement from Neil. It was Bruce Straley's project. And uncharted was Amy Hennig's. But here's the irony, Neil the champion of wokes and feminists kicked Amy out of the company. Took uncharted and TLOU and ruined them with his own toxic ideology.
These champions of feminism and these DEI people who care so much about social issues would eat their own without a second thought if they can because they don't actually believe in these things at all. For them it's a means to an end. A medium through which they can show "look how morally superior I am to you".
Edit: Made some corrections because I had mixed a couple names.
Yes exactly, they’re the most immoral people on the planet pretending to be the MOST moral, and for the last 10 years this trick has worked, but I think we’re finally seeing the mask slip and most regular peeps have seen the true face of evil.
just fyi, Hennig is working on the new marvel game, so it might actually be worth a look. normally i hate that comic book stuff, but if she's in charge i may have to look into it
Didn't know that. Now it makes sense. Amy Henning was the best thing naughty Dog had. She was the genius behind the Jak series.
Wait, I remember him kicking her out of Uncharted 4, but I don't remember her being involved in TLoU. Thatbone was both Cuckmann and another man, who left for 2.
Cuckmann saying TLoU2 was the story he wanted to tell in the 1st game made me think "oh the one who left was the actual talent"
Don't forget about bruce straley who rejected all of Neil's ideas for the first game subsequently editing it into the great story it's beautifully known for... And the HBO series being the result of all the rejected story ideas after bruce was gone.
Forgot to mention that the way Suicide Squad honored players who have loved playing as Batman by shooting him in the head with a revolver. Its an insult to the character, and an insult to players.

"Think about the final hours of RDR 2" Damn, now I'm sad again. RIP Jalapeno you where the best horse.
The spiciest stallion in the west.
A big reason why I can immerse myself in gameplay and world of rdr2 because I have a deep connection with Arthur. Even after 80-90 hours I still just rhoam around and do missions on repeat just to play as Arthur
That's why I love the Resident Evil series, it seems like it started in the 90s. The characters are likable, the antagonists are really evil, and the main characters fight to stop evil, greedy people and corporations from turning people into bioweapons and zombies. I'm a woman, but I can identify with both the male and female protagonists in these games and their motivations are clear and understandable.
Japanese (actually the whole world but US and some EU countries) don't care about pleasing minorities who don't even buy their games.
Resident evil has some of the coolest characters.
@@dknighton100 and they arent as annoying in terms of story like others. i mean, eg ashley in resi 4 remake isnt as annoying as she was in resi 4 (2004). but thats all my perspective
@anasbundegji i never thought of Ashley as annoying. All you got to do is put her in a locker or trash can and your all good. Plus she's basically kidnapped throughout like half the story so she's not a constant companion.
Should I play the free game that is about claire...i think? I've only played the remake trilogy
Neil Druckmann should never be forgotten.He should be remembered always as a perfect example of what not to be or become. if you allow evil to fall into obscurity and be forgotten it will only rise again with a new face and method to push it's wickedness. Never, ever forget these people and never forget their misdeeds done to more than just franchises but to world cultures as a whole.
This is a troll right? Jesus Christ dude, it's just a video game. Haha. What the fuck are you on? Go outside a little more. Hey, maybe you'll even meet a girl one day. Like, a real girl.
yall defo hating on druckmann and tlou2 way too much, the game is great honestly if they made you play as abby at the start maybe some people would have liked it more but a good ammount of yall just shit on it just cuz joel died (you cannot come to me saying joel deserved to live and/or an happy endung after what he did in 1) and apart from saying that game has lesbians so it is bad and druckmann is woke i've never seen someone giving me actual reasons for the game to be that bad. And druckmann was basically part of every nd project since 2010 so why didnt we see woke shit on uncharted 4 even tho he was basically the one doing it? The bias towards joel death and ellie being gay (which was teased in the first game) are not enough to compare that game to concord or justice leaguem
@@Invincibleismerelyaword Firstly, I did not in anyway say or insinuate that I hated Druckmann, I detest the ideology he and others have perpetuated in both media and culture; the reason why I specified him to not be forgotten is the fact he was the HEAD of the studio in charge of The Last of Us' development ALL blame lays at the feet of leader of any group or organization for if there is corruption at the head of something then there is corruption in the body as well.
Secondly I cared not whether or not Joel died but in the manner in which he died, it was very much a symbolic representation of their ideology made manifest within the confines of their world they made for TLoU2; and as someone who played through the game since the first one was alright I was very disappointed not only in no innovations to gameplay but I found the way in which the story telling was laid out was terrible, it was both disjointed and rushed in my opinion and felt like they didn't really exactly know what they was doing. Ellie being a lesbian was most certainly not hinted at in the first game, in the HBO adaptation it was hinted at, do not conflate the two as that is disingenuous. And finally Abby...she was poorly written, the only good thing about her was her motivations as to why she was after Joel and Ellie and the fact she somehow found enough testosterone to keep bulked up like that isn't believable in any way shape or form.
@@balthazargreen Ellie's sexuality as a lesbian was hinted at in the first game, in the Left Behind DLC. The show took inspiration from that.
Is Abby being buff unrealistic? She was determined to kill Joel, trained every day for that purpose alone, and was part of a WLF organization that prioritizes brute force. And as much as I love Joel, Abby has every right to kill him for what he did. His death serves a purpose. The world in TLOU is realistic enough that everything is at stake, and every action has consequences. Joel made his choice and had to face the consequences, as did Ellie and Abby.
You said the gameplay is almost the same as the last one? It's one of the most deeply engaging gameplay experiences I've had in modern gaming.
Well said. NEVER AGAIN TLOU2!
The age-old question was whether video games are art or products. Now, it's clear that if you want to sell video games, you gotta have talented people willing to create masterpieces.
I'm laid of concept artist with 9 years of experience. All jobs novadays are interns. You can't find a job asking for a okaish salalry. Triple A studios now wanna hire interns and pay them with rocks to make a blockbuster. Ubisoft, Epic I searched them all. And Ubisoft CEO confirmed my fears telling us in that famous video of his, that half of team working on AS shadow never released a game before.
SO yeah, another corporate greed cutting the costs by using free labor of young people who determinate to create games but have no idea how.
Thats why characters, art stules and bugs are mess and gameplay is just remasters of old gameplay.
Both, fifa is the antithesis of a masterpiece but it’s record seller. Something like Journey is evidently art & not a product.
Woke gaming is a product. Gaming started out as a hobby, turned into a product, then became an artform, then became popular, then became a product again. The "games are art" movement back around 2012 was ironically when gaming stopped being art. Gaming was treated as an art by it's devs and most gamers during the 90's and 00's. It was a hobby and a product in the 80's and before that. A product in the 10's and 20's.
It's both

When video games introduce a plot and characters, they are no longer games, they are now interactive movies. At that point, good storytelling and writing is just as important as gameplay mechanics

I agree. It’s like reading a book. If you can’t connect to the main characters or care about them then the gameplay means nothing. It’s incomplete.
Yes exactly, I read a lot of manga, if I don’t care about the characters then I just stop reading, but luckily because it’s manga I rarely ever have to stop reading, if it’s American comics then that’s a different story, as half the audience has already left, as it’s in the exact same place as games with all the same issues.
The gameplay isn't even there in current games. Like read a book with missing words, and nonsensical sentences that read like a tech manual for sewage processing plant.

@@aj.j5833 that’s a bold faced lie we’ve gotten the greatest gameplay in the last decade. Stalking enemies through fields of grass as Ellie in TLOU2, figuring out how to best a boss after your hundredth death in elden ring, ranching/bank robbing/fist fighting in the mudd/robbing a train in red dead 2, switching between 3 distinct characters in gta 5, killing demons with a character that moves like a coke head on skates in doom eternal, surviving Chernobyl against all odds in stalker 2, exploring a fictional world with a flash light as your main weapon in Alan wake 2, using your powers to solve an endless day in Deathloop, reliving classic RE4 parrying a chainsaw with a knife, parrying a master swordsman in sekiro, etc have all been crazy tight exciting exhilarating gameplay experiences that we’ve never had before and are better than anything before. This is the best gen of gaming ever imo. Only issue is the characters, motives and stories are derivative now because all new ideas are used. But gameplay is top notch
@@mikehatten5738 How standards dropped so quickly in only a few years.
There was a study done by LEGO to try to get girls more interested in Lego to be more profitable. (It's relevant to what you're saying. I'll paraphrase and keep it short but you can look it up). Even at young ages, girls and boys are very different. When given a Batman Lego, the boys would do Batman things with the Lego and live vicariously through Batman AS BATMAN. The girls would make Batman do the things they liked to do, like shopping, tea parties, and girl crap and make Batman into THEM. This is what women in gaming/entertainment are doing. They are narcissistic creatures that NEED to see themselves in everything they do.
Solipsism.
@@Alvarezpl Combined with cognitive dissonance = Oblivious hypocrite = typical modern women
you could have done that way shorter. it boils down to: men want to become the character and women want the character to become them. the whole "i need to see myself" thing is female.
I think it's a lot more bigger than that. It's about social emasculation. It's been used before in the distant past to dull the herd and install a stinker of a system. Currently, there's a certain left-wing ideology that's gaining culturally. It was blocked and ostracized in the 50s, but through slow and methodical infiltration, it seeped into academics and grabbed the following generations. Ultimately, the foot soldiers are but temporary conduits who will be used and discarded once the installation is complete.
This goes beyond the obvious-it’s about social emasculation. Historically, similar tactics have been used to subdue societies and bring in controlling systems. Right now, a particular left-wing ideology is rising in cultural influence. In the 1950s, it was shut down, but over time, it infiltrated academia and shaped future generations. The current supporters are just tools in the process, likely to be discarded once the desired agenda is fully installed.
I swear, every new protagonist I've seen from a mainstream product is some derivative of "Sassy, Quirky and Funny", which usually ends up being "Self-Centered, Petulant and Never Shuts Up."

This video has like three edgy sentences. The part about TLOU is only tangentially related to his whole criticism ("why modern characters suck") and shouldn't really even be in this video because the characters in that series are thought out and three-dimensional. The player being an afterthought is really the problem there, because the developers didn't take into account how the players would react to Joel's death and having to play as Abby. Ellie does have a clear character motivation and is largely sympathetic, and the bits involving her sexual orientation were rather tastefully done. Unlike all the box-tickers, she's a complete character that just happens to be a lesbian. That's not a bad character. Abby might be another story, but even that is subjective because she's way more fleshed out than others of her ilk.

Modern "AAA" video game "heroes" suck because they're pushing moral relativism, nihilism, and meaninglessness. Everything is permissible as long as you adjust your perspective. They want gamers to feel as meaningless as the "heroes" they play as.

The Plague Tale games had a complete story between 1 and 2 with a fantastic cast and female lead
I didn't like the direction they took Amicia in for the second game and fucking hated how she gets more and more androgynous as the game goes on but I love the first game.
I wasn't a fan but do you brother
Plague Tale Requiem is woke af 💯
Plague Tale Innocence was fantastic and the woke touch in Requiem is .... tolerable, only because I was invested.
I don’t know much about about it, but it just seemed more like anti Christian propaganda to me.
Look it doesn't mean women protagonist AAA games are bad, see horizon zero dawn, i loved it, but the reason are
1. Whenever there's a women protagonist it is always a woke gay lesbo relationship and everyone is sweet as f, and
2. As he says 80% gamers are men, so obviously players are gonna see themselves as the character doing the stuff in game, so a male protagonist helps a lot in connecting the bridge
It’s crazy how I would rather play and relate to the postal dude than any modern character
Joel Miller
Kratos
Micheal Afton
The Dragonborn
Arthur Morgan
Doom Slayer
Master Chief
Cloud
Sora
Lara Croft
Sonic
Mario
Seeing a pattern here?
Where's Cole Magrath, James Heller, Delsin Rowe and Alex Mercer?
These characters are loved.
Only one I don’t agree with is Michael afton lmao. You don’t even know his name until you beat the game, and you wouldn’t even know you play as him in the other games unless you’re a mega fan. Fnaf is one of the games it doesn’t matter who you are for you to enjoy mainly bc it’s not really a story driven game and all about surviving the nights. Micheal Afton never really gets shown or built on as a character in the games, all of that is done in lore. Now if you know the lore and all that sure, but even then he’s a subpar character compared to the legends you put on there.
Nathan Drake
Just sayin man heres clem and lee. edit is this about attractiveness then im talking about good characters in gaming.💀💀 not attractiveness
117, Doomguy, and Kratos
The difference is they don’t want to be the character in the game, they don’t want to be Batman, Snake or Joel, THEY want to be the character in the game, the character needs to look like them, it’s why they need all the characters to look this way. They don’t want to be the main character, they want the main character to be THEM.
But they are not worthy , Lol
that's why character creation is a thing
Main character syndrome, thats why
@@StalinkTz unfortunately not all games have that
I dont want to look at ugly woman as my main character just like woman probably dont want to play as an ugly man
Ugly woman even hate ugly woman irl. Why lower standards in gaming when you can be anything that is better. Woman bsing each other all the type. And psyoping them into getting all these surgery or going full feminist mode
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be an Assassin, or Contra dude, etc. But now, I am just a grown young guy who have work and responsibilities. And my friends are similar. I am not sure that grown guy when play a video game wants to be a Batman or any other character. This sounds to me very childish or romantic. When I play a game I just want to chill with a bottle of beer. But I agree with you that gay propaganda makes people angry about the game.
For example, The Last of Us 2, has a good story: the main character was murdered and you will avenge him with a good gameplay. But a new main character is a lesbo and new antagonist is a girl who looks like a guy. That's really disgusting
I loved the last of us 2. The story was compelling and I appreciated the complexity of playing both sides of the dilemma surrounding Joel’s murder.
BUT…the obvious undertones and sometimes blatant grabs at lgbtq themes were super annoying. It just felt forced into it. Like when the small Asian chick you help just happens to be a trans or nonbinary or whatever.
Ellie being lesbian made sense to me. She was always a tomboy. The other chick being roided out seemed far fetched. And nearly all important characters being lgbt just seemed a bit forced. I don’t mind it being there. But make it more balanced.
Like even when Trevor in gta V openly commented about sleeping with either men or women it fit his crazy and anarchist personality, and it came from a place of being anti-establishment rather than being sexual or gay. It was just very Greek and Bronze Age
This was first year in gaming history I didn't buy a game in black friday. Had no interest.
I’m proud to say I cried like a baby when Arthur died 0:56
I would have cried too, if my friend didn't FUCKING SPOIL IT FOR ME!

You're kinda wrong about Neil Drunkmann... he was not in control of last of us IP until part 2. Then he had no one pulling his reins... he was able to crash the ip thru the ground with his ideas after he took over naughty dogs.
You can see what he did with part 1 if you watch the HBO show. He changed the story just enough to vindicate his part 2, plot. Turned Joel into an evil. Selfish dude, turned the fireflies into heros, and reversed ellie's sacrafice as Ellie's decision and not firefly (Marlene) manipulation of a child.
The TLDR of it is that he turned Joel into a villian in the HBO show.
On a sidenote... he also made every woman character in the Lou universe, superior in the HBO show... as well as his part 2. Even Tommy wasnt spared in the reversal of character traits.
Dont forget Neil was responsible for the DLC of part 1 left behind where it made ellie a lesbian
@solidvault3698 didn't know that, but it makes sense.
Though the DLC felt more like preteen girl experimentation to me, when I first played it. It was just a kiss. Especially, since Sam seemed more like a love interest to me, in the main game. Which was all changed in the HBO thing.
@@Threesixtyci yeah they wanted to ease you in the wokeness with that DLC. Its how these people work. Similar to show like Arcane, season 1 was mostly harmless but still woke then Season 2 they put it in your face a whole woke lesbian sex scene
Joel was always kind of a bad person, but that's what made him such a great character. Despite the bad things he has done (both during the game and before) his decision to save Ellie was one that everyone could get behind.
@@Eric-h5b8u Exactly what I was gonna say, did people not listen to the dialogue and hear why Tommy left Joel?
It’s simple as it is.
You can’t create something with a soul, if you don’t have a soul!
you are sad. repent or jesus will not accept you.
Or if your soul belong to satan.
12:16 Rocksteady didn’t forget. The Rocksteady of today is only Rocksteady by name and by name only. It’s safe to assume it’s all women and queers.

I nearly puked at how vile harley was. Especially the way she hit on 6 year old Poison Ivey, and sa'd that one guy because in her words, "worth it". She can go away and stay away.
As a bisexual person, putting sexy characters (Man or woman) would make me consider buying a game. I love women and men with REALISTIC bodies.
You got my vote and my subscription man. You’re not sugar coating anything I love it
You really hit the nail on the head with this one. Modern devs absolutely seem to expect us all to just automatically care about whatever lame slop they throw in front of us instead of actually working hard and putting real effort into making us do so.
Auckland claims to be a feminist, but forced out a veteran and far superior female writer, who was arguably respinsibile for all the things people loved about ND to begin with, and he proceeded to do what noses often do when they take control of someone else's work.
I agree with some points raised, but you really shouldn't need a female character sexy to find them compelling. I get they shouldn't be badly modeled and design is important, but it would be laughable if female gamers complained about male main characters not being sexy enough.
"Modern gaming suc-"
"Hold on I only play games I actually like!"
"Where are you going? This a perfectly good moment to engange in ragebait!"
“Play it for the gameplay!” Then they cry about needing representation.
Dude said goyslop.
Be careful man, they're gonna be on to you 💀
TLOU2… Ellie also svcks…
The only good characters on that game is Joel’s brother (don’t remember his name) and the asian guy (also don’t remember his name). Both could have saved that shit… but ND decided to neglect one and kill the other…
Tommy and Jesse is their names
@ Thanks!
0:25 at this exact moment I was starting Factorio on another screen. Well played my dude.
BASED
Abby is the most despicable character I have ever come across in a video game. The worst thing about The Last of Us 2 is that the fanboys (note: fans and fanboys are a different thing.) will absolutely throw a hissy fit at you for criticizing anything about that game. I've been called homophobic so often for not liking the story... WHILE WE ALL LOVED THE FIRST GAME AND LEFT BEHIND. Left Behind was about a realtionship between two girls, and it was done exquisitely well. I didn't buy Ellie and Dina's relationship for a single second, because they had no real chemistry besides calling eachother "babe" all the time.
This is what I've been doing these past few years to convince everyone around me why we don't need to mix video games with sickening idealogies.
You erned yourself a sub man, keep it up
Naughty Dog's biggest mistake with TLOU was killing Joel. If the plan was to make three games, and you are going to have Joel die, then you have him die at the end of the final game, not the start of the 2nd. Ellie ruined the second game for me. She was insufferable.
the lesbianism is too much. gaming is infected by it. Similar to a woke lesbianism show like Arcane too
If they wanted to kill Joel, they should have made it believable.😭🙏
I'm no writer and I haven't played the games or know the lore but I think this is way better:
*Joel and Elle are sneaking away from a horde of infected they provoked, Joel is getting rusty but Elle is there as a clutch. They get to a rooftop to scout out the area and then a government sniper shoots Joel into a horde of infected, Elle already knows that it's GG for our boy.*
*(Cause I'm pretty sure he pisses off the government or a company) (Also can have emotional scene with Elle putting down the infected version of Joel)*
There, very clear motivation, very clear evil bad guy, no mushy crap about the bad guy.
The way Batman was disrespected along with Joel it shows how stupid the creators were.
The problem with these sequels is that they already a estabilished franchise that hold on its own and seeing completely character assassination doesn't make any of us happy.
Hell I wasn't big Batman fan until I saw how horribley they treated him in "Keel Da Dustice Weeg" (gotta talk like they do, in full r*t*rd). Now I fully believe that Batman deserves the world, nothing less.
@TinyToadSage Batman is the goat, bro is the only one who can takedown superbeings without been afraid off.
You're like the Critical Drinker but for gaming, ans I love it. Y'all should make a collab.
Nah this guy is actually based, the critical drinker is just center right liberal.

Andy When you get migranes, cool your feet, it draws more blood to your feet reducing preassure in the head or somthing like that.
I like how i find myself going back to older games, sick of this new gay ass slop that has no substance at all and instead of "bringing people together" liek they tout all it does is push more division, DEI fuckin sucks man great vid as always
10 out of 10 prognosis on the next Batman game: he's gonna be "gay" and "furry", possibly "trans" too
And don't forget their their personalities will be them nonstop talking about what being gay, trans etc is like and being mary sue-ish
The reason i was fine with owl house, nimona, arcane even as a straight dude etc is despite them having "dei, woke" stuff involved in them, it wasn't shoehorned into the main story and those kind of characters have actual, believable characterizations and on the plus side all three of them told good stories.
Good example: Cal Kestis
We know who he is and learn more about his dark past as a training Padawan as the game goes on
There's a massive Imperial threat across the galaxy that he intends to put a stop to, once grouping up with a set of resistance fighters
You WANT to be a Jedi, and you WANT to stop this Imperial threat
EA made Jedi: Fallen Order WORK, and that was 5 YEARS before Jedi Outlaws
I got a friend who turned super woke and defends trans every chance he can get, he’s no longer my friend.
I had one too. He put "protect trans kids" shirt on his 1 year old. I blocked him and his wife and anyone else from even finding my profiles online even LinkedIn which I don't even use.
sounds like a cool story and im glad you have less friends.
@ he lost all his friends so yeah cool story brah
Saying you stopped being friends with someone because you thought differently than them isn't really something that you should be proud about.
@@Eric-h5b8u he got salty about a joke and disinvited me to his wedding cuz his finances brother is trying to be a sister but he told me if he wasn’t with her he’d be making jokes about trans people too and laughing about it. So hey you wanna disinvite me to a wedding then we can cease to be friends if you ain’t got any respect for me.
And you have plenty of good and interesting examples for female protagonists done right, but the developers don't seem to understand their success.
Some of them that come to mind are:
- 2B
- Bayonetta
- Lara Croft
- Claire Redfield
- Jill Valentine
- Rebecca Chambers
- Senua
- Amicia
- Hell, if your intentions are more inclined towards some sort of inclusion or different approach, you have games like Gris or Life is Strange (at least the first game)
You definitely can make interesting or cool female characters, you just don't have to force them.
Why you compare death loop to dying light when you can compare it to Dishonored, which Corvo daughter Emily is soooo bad ass and she had a good story too
It's crazy to me that the discussion of attractive females in video games is even a debate. Hollywood has known this since its inception. Nevermind that almost every game with a male protagonist is what women would consider tradionally attractive, in great shape and often ripped with muscles.
There's no such thing as "conventionally" attractive. It's just called being attractive. Beauty is objective, your fetish is subjective.
It's like every game now is a movie or TV show, written for the critics or to win awards by hitting lots of criteria/ checkboxes.
I don't want to play in a progressive's wet dream or play in a DEI checklist! Ugh
modern day is garbage--even the indie studios are a bunch of weirdos half the time, discord/redditard types. Communists. They love censorship, and even if the game has some stuff going for it, they want to quash negative dissent and only focus on the good. They are too soft to hear the truth.
In short, there is a toxic positivity problem in more than just the AAA space, this sort of nonsense behavior on display has bled out into the industry to the point decent devs are censoring people and acting like immature little brats PUBLICLY. All they want to hear is their game is awesome and nothing else unless you preface it with sucking the devs butts before you give an honest criticism. In turn, they don't get much interaction or hype for their products since nobody is allowed to actually talk about them.
The indie space is starting to struggle in the same way the corporate stuff is.
It's crazy. Looked at his channel and immediately understood. This is a story of a dude who shot off to an extreme because he saw what garnered the most clicks. It wasn't the regular commentary on game criticism, nah, it was the rants about how woke was killing everything in the game sphere filled with buzzwords and bright visuals. All I can say is get your money man. It's just crazy seeing a channel take such a drastic turn in 4 months.
Wokification of andypants gaming
Outrage baiting keeps the money counter hot
it's really a shame, cause he understands how mechanics like how story and gameplay play off each other really well, but the algorithm forces him to do this
@@Cynic15 that’s why I really honestly don’t get his views on last of us 2 I think the game was amazing gameplay and story was unreal. The story makes you hate Abbie on a purpose but by the end you almost feel for her and understand why she does what she does. And that the game is about a cycle of revenge etc
@@oliverbukovina2366 you are defending this because director made it this way. He thinks himself as high moral guy. i guessing you liked scene where joel's killer is getting backshots.
I am guessing you just accepted ellie is gay in post apolyptic world. Why are you so happy decieved by this director. Who thinks you as "EVIL STRAIGHT MAN".
don't be sheep.
Grow some spine.
I buy and play games for the story. I don't care about much the gameplay. The best of a game is a good story and good character.
Take it further. I don't wanna play as Lara Croft either, because gooning to animated characters is degen.
The bar sank a long time ago,
"She's sexy as hell and thats important"
Andypants actually said that.
No crying: Free items shows how good are you playing, Premium item shows how good are you working
Nah anti woke are just as bad as wokes, they're two sides of the same coin, I still remember some people complaining about Aloy desing in Horizon 2, and saying she looked like a man for having peach fur, like they haven't been around a woman at all. As long as the game is well written and the gameplay is good, who cares about who you're playing as or how attractive the character is.
It's the fault of the woke fvkcs that we cant get and will ever get a Lara Croft like Char my friend and you can thank them all for the mess they created.

5:24 im happy bro was watching a yt to show clips of outlaws instead of buying it completely also if you look in the bottom left corner you can see this video being one second off of his video...
The devs suck at there jobs this is what happens when you tell everyone they are special 😂
So female characters have to be hot for you to care about them? And people have to be straight to be in a video game? That's all that I got from this, bro. You just seem like you can't accept that people can look different, love different, or be different. I agree with you that AAA and AAAA gaming companies are going in a terrible direction, but I don't think it's for having diverse people and storylines. It's because of gaming companies want to push trash out to ALL people (that don't actually want what they're selling, including those "Woke Leftists" you seem to talk so much about) and their attempt at pushing extremist selling to its finest. Don't blame poor games on the female characters who were created not wearing mini skirts or being super tiny or don't have as much makeup. Don't blame it on characters being able to fall in love with someone of the same gender, or be outside of your "binary" gender. Blame the capitalist agenda of video game companies and devs who are attempting to make games that cater to "a larger audience" whilst missing all the audiences, and the only reason they do it is because they don't care about games or the people they make it for, they just want everyone's money. When a dev makes a terrible self-insert of a character, they do it not only to put themselves in, but to try and grab at the people they know feel underrepresented. They try to use their lack of feeling included, TO GET MORE MONEY. It's not about being woke, all these companies want is money and the art of games suffers for it
