@@TheMenaceHimself2006 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.
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
It’s not just video games. It’s damn near all forms of modern entertainment. Most movies that come out are just sequels or apart of bigger franchises. We aren’t getting many ground breaking IPs
Sports aren’t played with the same love and passion. It’s all about putting the least amount of effort to get the most amount of money.

@ 🤔 the fact you aren’t allowed to criticize anything they do, I’m starting to believe it is
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.
I am black and i hate how those rainbow transformers are speaking for us and portraying us in games.
I was just thinking exactly the same thing myself
As a kid, black people were Mr T, Mac from predator and Apone from Aliens etc, fictional characters for sure but still, what they've done to both blacks and whites is degrading at best.
I don’t know what their obsession is with that short dreads swept forward to one side hair style. I haven’t seen one person in my life with that hairstyle
@@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? Rappers in Def jam fight for ny we dont get something like this anymore. even lee everet from the walking dead i would say the last good one "even though the gameplay failed a bit" was Lincoln clay from mafia 3...

Video game characters now:
...The thing is, I don't even remember any of 'em.
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
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.
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

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!

"Think about the final hours of RDR 2" Damn, now I'm sad again. RIP Jalapeno you where the best horse.
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.
there are some rpgs I put down because I didn't like the characters

@@aj.j5833 that’s a bold faced lie we’ve gotten the greatest gameplay in the last decade.

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.

You know what's not respectful, taking a beautiful voice actress and intentionally making her ugly.
Remember Miranda from Mass Effect? She was modeled to look just like the woman that voiced her and fans loved her.
@@4lackofbetter Because she was an actress and cost way more than a simple voice actress, they decided to pay her more money for her face model. The same thing happened with Keith David. When you have a famous actor or actress for the voice, you will use their look for more benefits. Their fame and their name bring free marketing for the company.
@@4lackofbetterMiranda was my Male Shepard romance file lol. Thane was for my Female Shepard.
@@4lackofbetter Actors are raw material for bringing *characters* to life; they're whole job is to not be themselves. Should we not use make-up and prosthetics on actors either?

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.

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?
its good to see a MAN and his beautiful WIFE in a country that now has hate groups that despise this. keep fighting bro ill support till im dead
There is lots of good female and brown skin characters. They just need to make a good character and not talk about race at all.
@@FirstNameLastName-okayyoutube People recognized the indignity of hiring an actor merely because he/she was a certain race. Nobody wants to be a "token." But how is it made better by simply doing it more often?
So now you make much of the cast black, or female, or gay, or indian, asian, etc., or an unrealistic mix of them all. You're still picking them based on the color of their skin or sexual orientation, not the content of their character or the extent of their talent. Racism and counter-racism are two sides of the same coin. It's ignorant and insulting.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The issue isn't necessarily with "modern characters" themselves (and by "modern characters", I'm talking about ones who may, for instance, fall under the LGBTQ+ umbrella) but with how they're portrayed as being the heroes the audience is expected to root for, even though the characters themselves lack any redeeming qualities. Not to mention, if you happen to dislike these characters because they're so shallow, it's often framed as if you're the bad guy, which I think is unfair. I don't mind characters like Prince Dion from Final Fantasy 16, for example. Yes, he's gay, but it's just one part of his character---not his entire personality! Prince Dion is shown to be honorable, humble, kind, courageous, and idealistic. These are universal traits that we can all come to appreciate in fiction and in general. However, characters like those from "Dustborn" or "Dragon Age: The Veilguard"? Terrible. They have no depth, and what little personality they do have is just terrible all-around.
Thanks for the tip on ffxvi. The page for Dion specifically mentioned the subtlety.
Kind of sad that it has to be toned down when we had the guy from god of war able to have a literal minigame where he fucked two women offscreen, but even mentioning that a man is gay needs to be done so as not to offend delicate sensibilities XD
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.

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.
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
There isn't a better written character in the history of video games than Arthur Morgan. He feels like a real person. Rdr2 was the peak. Nothing that came after or will come, will ever even manage to reach rdr2 in terms of writing, depths, cohesion, quality and attention to detail.

@@darkdawnbringerYou guys are the loudest and most whiny people on the internet. You can’t go one second without talking about gay people and what not without going completely insane. And I also love how you guys think they’re the most sensitive and crybaby people ever, but you guys drop to your knees and sob when you see any resemblance of people different from you. (Also this is all coming from a straight white man, so don’t go calling me one of them.)
Arthur Morgan and Nico Bellic.... unbeatable
We went from good games and entertainment to absolute trash incredibly fast. It was like a flip of a switch. In my opinion I think it’s a much deeper and sinister reason. I think it comes from a much higher authority of people in positions of power trying to break the back of middle America.
It's interesting how the LGBT don't understand character... despite their whole identity obsession.
0:11 what's with the actman cameo
Actman is gay
@ no u
Act man defends woke gaming. He also called people pointing it out conspiracy theorists
Y'all think the directors of last of us 2 were emoting and acting zesty as hell knowing they just ruined one of the best apocalyptic survival games of all time
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.
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
I agree with every word you said in this video... It's like I am listening to myself in your voice... Great video... Character & its personality as well as depth also matters apart from gameplay...
I, a gay man, feel obliged to speak. I like games that are good. I don’t like games that are bad. Games that are written bad are probably bad.
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!

Revelation 3:9 "Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie-indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you."
I hate how rare well written characters are nowadays, like occasionally we get one
Excellent editing with interesting commentary.
Tomb Raider 2013 was the beginning of the woke, as they toned her down. Pants instead of shorts and a smaller chest.
She’s still hot tho imo
no fuckin way someone actually said that
10:16 Nah, you did the right thing. Last of us 2 was trippin balls hard. Also, you don’t even kill Abby at the end, Ellie let's her go. I was EXTREMELY disappointed. By the end of the game, that's all I wanted to do...but they pull the rug from under you.
6:55 male and female video game characters tend to have perfect symmetry and good features, idk who thought that having unappealing characters that you have to stare at for 20+ hours of gameplay was a bright idea.
You got my vote and my subscription man. You’re not sugar coating anything I love it
Finally someone who isn't just blindly loving the new games and actually isn't afraid to ctricise the woke agenda behind them, great vid!
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
Hating abbie is stupid. She had a brilliant character arc and was more interesting than ellie in LOU2
As a trans and pansexual person, forced representation makes me even less willing to spend money on a game. Representation CAN be done well and be fun, but when done wrong it pretty much kills the whole game.
11:23 That is Joker's plan. Strange's plan is to round up all the criminals in Arkham City and lay waste to its population. That is Protocol 10.
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.
7:00 Ubisoft - did you eat paint chips, recently. LOL. Aaand I subscribed.
What are you talking about? the last of us didn't have a sequel...or a dlc.
Makes games that the character becomes iconic for decades. Back then when I was in school we boys gang did counter strike cz cosplay on fashion show
Okay no offense, but i'll bring up something that people hating on The Last of Us 2 story are childish about. When was TLou1 (and the dlc) a story about happy people with perfect ending where everyone is happy? TLOU is about how rotten people can be, how apocalypse is dangerous, how people are desensitized and it's the story about Joel's journey. The ending is not "go happy go funny", Joel kills a lot of innocent people, POSSIBLY dooming humanity from having a cure, which fits his story but is not a MORALLY GOOD ACTION. We could argue how Fireflies would still suck, but stripping the world from a possible cure and killing tons of innocents to save Ellie simply is NOT a morally correct choice. Its good story wise, but its a bittersweet ending. And what TLOU2 does? Follow ups on Joel's rampage. Am i happy he died? NO. Do i think TLOU2 is as good as the first? NO WAY. But christ it's just childish how some players STILL can't get over their 'go happy yay' fanfic of a grim apocalypse game not coming true. All i can say is... grow up. Getting MAD about Joel's death like this is a reason why so many developers started going TOO SAFE with storymaking.
The devs suck at there jobs this is what happens when you tell everyone they are special 😂
I will never forgive them for Joel.
he's a fictional video character. get a life.
@@grahamykins Exactly.
I feel like most people knew Joel would die, just... not like that.....

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.
Goyslop that was beautiful 😂👏🏼
I don’t really care about some protagonists in games, but I guess I’m also the guy who just plays as Gordon Freeman in Half-Life who never mutters a single word in the span of like 4-ish games.

@@highasakite_9 Cait was straight / normal and had a relationship with a man, and Vi was also straight and was only with Cait as a team member thats it.
