This may be the most hamfisted and cringe thing I've read in my entire life

Things like this add more weight to the theory that the world really did end in 2012 and the collective consciousness was transported to some kind of parody realm.

They will defeat racism by giving characters vitiligo.

Crowd reaction at the reveal compared to crowd reaction of (nearly as bad) Cyberpunk DLC.



And just for fun, crowd reaction to Starfield trailer.

> Play Dustborn trailer filled with retarded "quirk-humor" one liners and really ugly Nuu-Saints Row looking aesthetic

This game seriously looks and feels identical to Saints Row.. these SJW companies creatively bankrupt.

I feel the tides changing.. :Inspector:

Should add a poll to guess which character is 4 months pregnant. Probably the one with white hair. That cigarette is just a red herring.

If you're curious why so much of this garbage seems to nearly exclusively come out of yurop/canada, this is yet another game that received government funding:

Here's a fun question:
Why is the government of Norway & the EU funding propaganda about my country?

Every country sees your country as a desert filled with multicultural hipsters it seems.

Who made Saints Row 4? Was it a europoor country or cuckanada?

No idea, but nothing about these characters seems to be in any way relatable or admirable in any way. It really says something when you could make a protagonist that is a homeless man shitting on the streets of San Franshitsco and this character would be more relatable than the drivel they've shat out here.

I opened that video just to tell them how absolutely awful every single aspect of this game looks and sounds and feels, and how it has violated me and mine on a fundamental level, at our core.

Only to discover that
Comments have been disabled.
Amazing. Less than 24 hours until comments were disabled, and even almost a week late the thing has less than 700 likes. I didn't even know that was possible; they should've gotten more than that just by being pushed by the official Xbox channel alone.

The disconnect between "developers" and gamers is such a hilarious gulf.

Because these people are awful, awful people. Yesterday someone asked me why the companions of """Baldur's Gate""" """3""" are so irredeemably unlikable, and it is much the same case as here.

Because they are written by awful people. They genuinely do not understand why their characters are considered insufferable because they are insufferable themselves. They cannot comprehend why people think of their characters as sex-pests, because they themselves are sex-pests. They can't see why we'd think that the characters are tiresome and shallow power-fantasies and annoying snowflakes unsuitable for characters, because they themselves actively strive for complete escapism in their own lives and to be as unique snowflakes as they can be, and do so through wholly superficial means.

They're awful, awful people on a very fundamental level, and completely incapable of introspection or constructive self-criticism.
