Since this is funny to me, I have to mention it here. Does anyone remember that failed abortion of a game that was Hunt the Freeman? That one Half Life game. Well, apparently, one of the people who worked on that game is responsible for the animation work on this game, see:



His artstation with his contributions to Hunt the Freeman:

Also check out this "totally not ripped from Sims" animation work:

that looks very much like the usual shitty frostbite engine animation

Reminds me I watched a little of some modern BioWare fanboy’s video on YouTube complaining about some Asmongold video on this game, in the video, Asmongold unfavorably compares some combat animation in this to a combat animation in Space Marines 2. The BioWare fanboy either deliberate misinterprets, or is so stupid he can’t understand what’s being talked about, (which isn’t out of the question with a modern BioWare fanboy) and acts like the comparison being made isn’t about the animations and is instead about how violent Space Marine 2 is in comparison to the largely bloodless The Veilguard and goes off on a little tangent about how Warhammer is edge and violent and that’s just not something that Dragon Age as a series is trying to do. But anyone that remembers those first two Dragon Age games (at the moment two thirds of the Dragon Age video game series) fucking knows they were bloody and (what is only used in a dismissive way today) “edgy.”

I mean Dragon Age used to be a series where when combat encounters ended your party was covered head to toe in blood. The trailers for the first two games also had some kind of blood motif to them, blood splashing on screen with words written it it, the dragon logo of the series being made of blood. A Dragon Age action game being as violent as Space Marine 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2 would be more in keeping with the aesthetic of the series (at least as far as violence goes) than this game is...and yet modern BioWare fanboys jerking off to this game will say the series didn’t do that kind of stuff. It’s fucking bizarre. You don’t even need to have played the first Dragon Age to know this either, you can see it just by watching that trailer for the first game.

So I made the same point about Dustborn, but this is probably money utterly wasted.

Eh a lot of younger Russians in bigger cities are probably liberals. The problem is that they probably can't buy it due to banking sanctions. And up until recently Russian is catch all up translation for countries still using Crylic.

Traditional Chinese is mainly used by Taiwan and some SEA Chinese. Of which the younger people are liberal-leaning including LGHDTV supportive so it's not really a surprise. The problem is that CRPG as a genre is not that big at all in the region. That being said Baldur's Gate 3 kinda exploded so they could be banking on people being curious about the genre.

How's the youth of Indonesia, InD_ImaginE?

Depends on where you live. Indonesia is a big country, and the rural-urban divide is real.

In general major cities in Java (provincial capitals mostly) are liberals. Jakarta especially so, which is probably not surprising as it is the biggest economic hub. The more rural you get the more "traditional" the culture and younger people are. In some area this means predominantly religious.

In general the better economic and education access in an area is the more liberal it is, mirroring how it is in the rest of the world, where conservative area in general are poorer. In general area with better economic development has easier access to western media and as such share more of it's mainstream value which is liberal.

If you are asking about CRPG, it's also the same where BG3 becomes the breakthrough game for CRPG genre in general. Historically gaming in Indonesia is predominantly console gaming with Playstation being king. PC Gaming in general is for Internet Cafe gaming where people played RTS, Counter Strike, MOBA (Dota or LoL)

BTW, my wife used to teach Anatomy at the local medical uni. She says visible top surgery scars are a thing only in the case of cancer removal (and even then not in every case), and any semi-competent surgeon should be able to conceal them perfectly in cases of cosmetic surgery, since the muscles there are located in a way that actually would make concelaing the scars easier.

Great job, BW, great job.

Wearing visible scars and not blending in is the whole point of tranz identity. It's what bestows them their political power. Their ideology grants them supremacy, so they're not going to let go of the visual signifiers. Of the "uniform" of the conformist rebel.

Not that FtM tranz are usually the problem. It's always the MtF, aka troons. Aka nerds bullied / sexually molested into insanity and hating their former identities, who now take revenge on the entire world through their world-socialist networks.

TL;DR, and also clearly a clown-farming post. But the title has a point.

Video games have always targeted younger audiences because that's where the money is. Sure there is now a large audience of 30-50 yo men, but this segment is notoriously tight with their money and generally hate everything. So media still largely ignores you as a consumer base.
