    Well there goes the major somewhat sci-fi ish game next year for me.
    There is Prey, but truth be told I am really not that interested in that game either, the storyline sounds like something I have heard dozens of times in sci-fi games before.

    Only supremely competent artist should be allowed to draw or design average or ugly-looking people. There's a reason artist go for stylized styles that "objectify" people into molds, usually beautiful or idealized types. It is because it is easy.

    Honestly never seen better animations than that disarming sequence. Bioware are exceptional at their craft. It's down to the tiniest details! I mean they even managed to have the seated character's fist shake to imply they have Parkinson's, and the main character even has an involuntary leg twitch for half a second before disarming the big guy, probably to signify she's ready to kick ass like a proper Bioware female character. :obviously:

    I thought those blue aliens were supposed to be hyper selective sex maniacs or something, like unimaginably attractive to all races? I guess BioWare decided to appease the playerbase by digitally creating an amalgam of all of them and made it into an NPC.

    Reason no. 2 is bullshit. What does being pro- or anti-Trump have to do with videogames. Also, he may disagree with Bioware and their political views but he has no arguments when claiming they were hired based on their ideologies only.

    The rest I can agree with.

    His point was 'supporting racist Regressives with your cash', but yeah, sort shouldn't be a point.

    He was calling out Bioturd developers for getting overly political, being politically correct, their tolerance of anti-white racism and going full SJW.

    Anyway, SJWs hate Trump and we hate SJWs.

    The DA:I tavern discussion about the transsexuals at the beginning of the video was really cringey. Introducing such concepts by "show don't tell" would be so much better. Isn't that something writers learn in their first class?

    But the tumblr audience apparently needs everything to be accompanied with approving and celebrating commentary.

    I got the feeling he was more focused on the fact that thet were 'leftist' or 'feminist' (the word appeared so many times on the screen and in the audio) and he actually appeals to their personal twitter accounts. Also he is very liberal about using the word racist without any argument to support it.

    SJWs suck but that's not the point he makes in my opinion.

    Also, I actually hoped he would bring up a case of actual harassment, not limit himself to two comments on some website. This would make a lot better argument and expose what SJW is and isn't about.

    That's assuming that Bioware writers have some sort of actual writing degrees.
