I just realised... Frozen dad, evil son that you never knew...

Fallout 4 ripped off the plot of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.

Do you get a mini-me at any point?

Witcher 3 = SJW? That edgy tit fest?
Compared to Fallout 4? The game where every one of your companions is gay for you if you want them to be? And let's you play as a female?

People just cry SJW at anything nowadays.

Except the earlier games also let you play as a chick.
I still don't get why that's suddenly big news. Maybe it was to cater to all the little babies who didn't play a proper fallout game.
Those gits need a good yelling at by Arch Dornan.

There was an article which said this was going to be the first FO game with a female protagonist. The previous games aren't as important as the fact that FO4 was going to have a fixed male protagonist.

Here's my review: I can't kill characters that annoy me and the robot doesn't properly refer to me as "Sex Dragon".

Thing is this is not the first failure associated to the Bethesda brand. I mean, TESO was bad, and FO4 was bad as well. Just get ready for the thousands of "Can we trust major devs anymore?" articles. Has any sjw complained about how It's Made of Rape 3 got the award?

Witcher 3 deserves the award. It might not be the words deepest RPG, and is faaaar from perfect in execution (gah, that skill system!?), but I've never seen another game that did non-linear open world with such a tight focus on narrative consistency. The simple fact you can enter into a quest at various points (that the content is persistently spawned in the world for multiple legs of the design), combined with almost entire lack of paint-by-numbers fetch or rat hunting quests is enough to give it respect in this day and age.

I'm pretty jaded to quest design, counting my first cRPG in the Gold Box era, and I was often pleasantly surprised at the twists associated with even the smallest side-quests. Fun game, but still a shit RPG (but not as shitty as Fallout 4, sadly).

Bethesduh deserved that. There should be "the most retarded game of the year" category so that they would have at least one award for trying.

Nah. Those idiots don't care about it. They already pocketed enough cash to not care about criticism. They will just overhype their next game as always, buy off reviewers from IGN for MLGs 420 Blaze it articles and again earn enough money to produce more retarded games. Call of Duty is holding up fine, Assassin's Creed too. Morons or not, game industry is business and they are good in that regard, by making poor product and still earning a profit.


Also it feels good to be from Potatoland. I should eat bigos and be happy that great games can still win with overpriced shit backed by bribed reviewers.

It's SJW because the babby is always black.
I thought so too, but then I did a test and the baby actually does change to reflect your characters:

Pretty sure Bethesda and Zionmax are heartbroken over these meaningless awards and metacritics:

In fact, I'm pretty sure they even heard about them. And laughed.

Yes, the people who angrily respond to criticism on twitter and put bonuses behind metacritic scores don't care at all about metacritic or GOTY, lol.

I'm sure they could care less about positive press and critical acclaim, the soulless draugr zombies only need the cold embrace of their money.
(Not that they don't still get it, anyone see those shill articles claiming they beat GTA's world record day one sales and then quoted the number shipped to retailers? Pathetic.)

Well, not sure if you realize this, but metacritic and GOTY shit is pretty much free money, so there's that.

But yes, I do think it's their passion, good or not, they spent like what? 7 years on this game? They're a pretty consistent team, and they've been riding high on massive critical success and universal praise pretty much since their first release. This is the lowest rated game they've ever released, and as far as I know the first that didn't win GOTY. Maybe they really are soulless money grubbers, but I like to look at it from a "hanlon's razor" kind of perspective, i think they think they're making good games and have good ideas and are passionate developers.

It isn't.
In case of awards, getting them isn't the point - being nominated and thus getting more publicity and free advertisement is, and they get there through the size of their marketing budget. The award itself only matters to the kids and retards that buy into the hype: the people who give out those awards don't represent some kind of Game Quality Authority, in case you haven't noticed - it's just a bunch of random dudes circle-jerking off each others' hype.
Same for metacritic, except there's no ceremony with fake smiles and queued rounds of applaud. I heard someone somewhere claimed they didn't get a bonus for having a score below some arbitrary threshold, but that sounds just the right amount of retarded to be a lie.

Nah, they wouldn't get far with that kind of attitude.
