Game News The Game Awards 2024: Solasta II, The Witcher IV and The Outer Worlds 2

[Falksi]

Holy must-avoid wokeslop Batman!

 

[Stoned Ape]

They should have just called it something else

Should have just gone with The Bitch: Her

 

[OSK]

Oh noz! Not my mainstream action adventure game from Polish Bethesda!

I hate modern RPG Codex.

Ah yes, time to celebrate another non-bugridden UE5 masterpiece with yet another sdrong womang as the sole protagonist.

 

[Roguey]

Witcher IV better have an NPC who shouts "A Witcher? Hide your women!" like in the first game.

 

[Elwro]

My worry is that the game will be boring and unoriginal.

But political? It better be. The Witcher games and novels have always been political and it's one the few interesting things about them.

It's just like with Star Trek: the right wing kids say it's political now, not realising it had been amazingly political in the Shatner era. Shows such as ST: Discovery might be shit, but they're shit because the scripts are bad and the ideas very very safe and constrained; not because they're political. Now they're not political enough.

Ciri was obnoxious Mary Sue x Jesus lesbo in the books, never played the third twitcher, did they fix her like they did Geraldo or made her in the same vein?

My brother, old Star Trek was political, the new one is preachy, there's a difference.

Political makes you think. Preachy tells you what to think.

She apparently is just a normal basic bitch now w/o the godlike powers and also apparently moved to California and took up box-wine, intense sun-bathing without skin protection, and facial reconstructive surgery to look like a 45 year old liberal wine aunt. So right on target for "Modern Audiences".

 

[Morality Games]

Solasta 2 is really cool.

Outer Worlds i2 is ehhhh.

I haven't even finished Witcher 3 (eventually intend to) so we're off to a bad start.

 

[Iluvcheezcake]

Solasta only interesting

 

[Denim Destroyer]

I cannot bring myself to replay Solasta, never bothered with the DLCs so maybe I will try those at some point, yet Solasta 2 has me intrigued. I am wishy-washy bitch.

 

[Fenix]

Remember how the erotic cards in The Witcher 1 are now considered "too much" by the new CD Projekt?

They did that? They are done then.

No, they'll make up for it with the female protagonist collecting cards of big, veiny dicks. It's very progressive.

 

[Pink Eye]

Solasta 2 looks pretty fucking hype all things considered.

 

[MerchantKing]

I'm looking forward to the Underrail 2 news posts.

There is a difference between political and retarded fantasy propaganda, with a hefty dose of degeneracy.

 

[GrainWetski]

I can't believe there are still retards going "nothing's changed, it's always been like this". It's the worst defense of woke garbage imaginable.

Yes, Deus Ex is political and so is Dustborn. Clearly Dustborn just ain't political enough, goys!

 

[Hammer Of The Heretics]

There is a difference between an entertainment product that tells a story engaging with political themes and a piece of propaganda.

The Witcher has always kind of been a bit lefty series. Conflating leftardism with wokeism is popular for nuwokists to do. "Its always been this way, its not woke is called being nice".

While the Witcher 2,3 are not really that great, you could more or less play as the bad guy, which I enjoyed. That the game had a lefty message kind of made it more fun as its more enjoyable to kill who I found unlikeable.

I also don't see the big deal and rage about playing as Ciri. I never felt particularly attached to the Gerralt character nor do I think that its the character was that critical in W3. However, much more concerning is that they will remove how you play. Will they allow you to play as bigot or not? Possibly not.

I also don't like how CPR are in denial that they have bent the knee when its well publicized that they have. They messed up big time with their honking mess Cyberpunk and now have it all to prove again.

I reason that the choice to switch to UE5 was a political one. Thats the studios attempt to bring the power back into their hands, from developers. The CEO can call the shots because he can always outsource development if necessary.

Political makes you think. Preachy tells you what to think.

this is the sort of cute and round phrase some smoothbrain may put in their twitter bio, but on rpgcodex.net i expect more, namely, examples.

draw your difference between 'making you think' and 'telling you what to think' basing on actual star trek plotlines.

Not within actual politics.

Star Trek series were always leftist propaganda, in that our pig friend is correct though he probably wouldn't call it that way. However, it was a high quality one, made by talented people resulting in enjoyable entertainment. In fact that made it successful propaganda. Many people will claim it wasn't because something good can't be propaganda, right? Most people think propaganda = bad quality and very obvious. Star Treks, the original series and the ones from 80s-90-00s helped raise a whole generation (or rather 2 generations) of nerds in US with very stupid ideas ingrained in their minds from young age. The one we had today, in games or tv, hopefully, being low quality, isn't as successful, maybe even detracts some people - but i'm probably too optimistic.
In other words: the difference is in quality, talents of creators and times requiring different messages to push. Perhaps also self-awareness of the creators (hint: ST creators knew what they were doing). There is no difference in essence.

ofc the Woker is a woman

 

[Zombra]

Only politics I agree with should be allowed in games.
