Cool

Quality and Genre Purity are a two different measures. And I was talking only about quality. Won't change the fact that 50,8% of 472 voters who played TOW ended up hating or just disliking it.

Imagine you have to vote in a selection of the best classical music in the past year but among the songs there all sorts of things, like rap and pop music. Would you say that this is irrelevant? Of course not. You would accuse the person who made the thing of being confused about the basics of the subject. If the person doesn’t understand the basics, the criteria is questionable and the whole poll is an exercise in futility and confusion. But hey, don't let my purism affect people’s attempts to make the category of cRPGs meaningless.

Funny example you have chosen - because one of narrower definitions for Classical music is being produced in Classical period, between 1750 to 1820, and everything that came after could never qualify. So any "vote for best in last several years" thing is exercise in futility, with any criteria.

Similar to some people around here it would seem, who choose some random cut-off date (usually when last favorite game of their childhood came out) and games released after could never be good, better or true enough RPG to stand on the same shelf with (your personal) Classics.
Would your purism be satisfied if we call everything from 1995+ neoCRPG? I think it would be a good cut-off, first widely accessible games (and PCs) came with Windows 95, so even Fallout is a light years away in concept and execution from pure historical CRPG genre.

Here's a more accurate assessment: The women in The Outer Worlds are often no-nonsense and hypercompetent underlings, while the men are more soulful and genuine, for good or for ill. The men are more likely to be silly or deluded but they're also more likely to be inspirational leaders and thinkers.

You can call this woke, but to some extent it's also a reflection of real life trends.

You can't be fucking serious.

It's a common observation, made by people such as Tucker Carlson, that in the 21st century West women increasingly "have their shit together" more than men. They goof off less, they're more likely to earn a university degree, they seem more well-adapted to succeeding in bureaucratic structures where the most important thing is to follow instructions and get along to go along. Think of the stereotype of the corporate HR lady.

Not everything you see in a video game made by people from California is there to piss you off. Sometimes it's just the writers writing what they know.

Goof off less could also be interpreted as: humorless killjoys who drain all the fun out of a workplace. You know what they say about all work and no play? This is just the most vague, meaningless statement to make, and it's got very little to do with actual competence/productivity. Like a bunch of guys who spend all day telling each other lewd jokes and farting in each other's faces could easily be very talented coders and produce amazing programs, while a bunch of humorless wankers who never 'goof off' could easily produce utter garbage. Sure, they're productive, but competent? That's got nothing to do with how much you goof off. Give me a fucking break.

More likely to earn a university degree: are you for real right now? You're not this dumb. You know this statistic is meaningless. Women obviously prefer degrees in fields like Sociology, Nursing and so on, that doesn't make them more competent than men, a fucking trained donkey could complete some of these 'degrees'.

Well-adapted to succeeding in bureaucratic structures where the most important thing is to follow instructions and get along to go along: so they make great mindless worker drones? And men don't? This could be a negative just as easily as a positive, and you present zero evidence for it. One could easily make the assertion that thinking outside the box is an important part of succeeding in corporate structures, while being an obedient worker drone is a great way to remain saddled with the same job for the rest of your life.

It's much more likely that women are succeeding in bureaucratic structures because those structures are bending over backwards to hire them and put them on fast-tracks to executive positions in order to please the increasingly unending political pushes for 'equality' from powerful 'women's rights' lobbying groups.

But I'm sure that's all in my head, women are just more competent than men, yep that's definitely it. Good grief.

You seem upset.

LoL even the dumb retards like this dude think of the game as mediocre shit. Also that guy is really dumb lol,he spends 10 minutes sperging about his health shit that nobody cares about,then says that the writing is good and funny....then goes on shitting on witcher 3 because he could follow a conversation and at the moment is calling tyranny genius lol nigga,that is full on retard that haven't read a single book in their life buahahahahahahaha.

Putting aside the red pill stuff, Sociology is a shit degree in bullshitting (I know, I have one) but Nursing degrees take a good amount of effort. My wife's a nurse and those A&P classes were no joke, and the clinicals were running her ragged. Also men get a ton of degrees in bullshitting too, like most business and management shit. College itself is mostly a joke across the board, let's be honest. Stuff like nursing is actually in the handful of degrees that teach you actual, real skills.

That's exactly the point I was trying to make.

Didn't he bitch about Pathfinder: Kingmaker because it had will'o'wisps, which causes electrical damage, and he was too fucking retarded to use protection against electricity spell/scrolls?

Ahhh i remember something similar,it is very possible,i mean,he is pretty dumb bastard. He was going on about how old fallout games are great because combat was hard or some similar shit. Also watching him plat feels like watching 80 year old dad that doesn't get modern tech,play fucking doom 2 lol.

Here it is:

Our series on the design of The Outer Worlds comes out in April. Check out this early look and make sure to subscribe to get notified of when they go live.

Five episodes:

#1 - From Concept to Creation
#2 - Writing Companions
#3 - Planets, Towns & Quests
#4 - Character Builds
#5 - Music & FX

I wonder how long they'll be. Noclip's last series, for Supergiant's Hades, had four 40 minute episodes.

Explains why women can't handle Codex for long

Wrong popular game(it was back then) they decided to make a doc on.

I'd rather watch da melancholic road to eternity again than that shit.

While i somewhat agree with the sentiment, must you be so fucking obnoxious and retarded? Every post of yours feels like it would fit 2009s youtube comment section.

Anyway, i havent even so much as pirated this shit. But now im glad i just stayed as far away from it as possible.

And how about you stop being a pretentious wannabe bourgeoisie.

I don't mean to belittle the hard work of nurses, and I admit my comment about trained donkeys was more in reference to sociology degrees than nursing degrees. So I misspoke there, my bad. Nevertheless my broader point was that looking purely at the number of university degrees being earned is not in any way a solid foundation on which to build an argument about competence, and while nursing is not an easy profession, it's certainly not as difficult as something like brain surgery or physics - what are the stats on women vs men in those professions, again?

Also please don't even try to compare a business course to a sociology course, they might both be degrees in bullshitting but I know which one has actual real-world applications in terms of competence.

Bottom line is when it comes to the most challenging careers, men are still annihilating women in the stats despite women having every advantage and in fact more advantage than men these days. So you can stick your arguments about women being more competent up your arses, and Obsidian writers can do the same with their so-called 'empowered' female characters.

No it wasn't. You were arguing that women are more competent than men. Competence is not a negative thing.

Tim and Leonard being proud about this turd called ToW feels like watching a supra-realist movie gone wrong.

They have absolutely no idea that ToW success happened because of Microsoft instead of the game's qualities.

Or maybe they know and now they are doing marketing for ToW2 ... which will be written by the same female SJW monkeys.

Yeah, they can release a 120 min documentary. I'm not watching that shit.

I'd agree with that, though we'd probably disagree on how much the cause is social versus natural.
