You shouldn't have followed him in the first place but I will accept your ankles in recompense.

Would be nice if he finished that kickstarter game he began a decade ago.

Isn't the CCP funding a lot if the woke garbage to keep the West demoralized? I doubt things will change at all with Tencent

No, they fund this trying to make moneyz. Not to destabilize the west.

make a post praising starfield if you have a ccp agent holding a gun to your head

You are massively overestimating coordination here.

****** are still mad about the opium wars. If they're willing to push fentanyl, influencing Western media to produce ****** **** isn't beyond them.

They just executed a couple of Canadian-****** for trafficking...

So the polack from CI GAMES thinks Tencent will have a positive cultural influence on Ubisoft meaning less DEI. No links, dig it up yourselves.

No.

[maidenhaver]

I don't care about DEIA, the issue is games design is a lost art. Tencent isn't going to go looking for games design, it will simply pump out chinese slop. More paint by numbers, no innovation, mass appealing crap. Enjoy your new plate of crap.

I can’t deny China effectiveness.

This do ******** and stupid, 15% of shares can't influence anything!

All other shareholders would outvote evil China influence, if they wanted, but they don't. But it is still somehow China fault, Larry Fink is a pure Chinese, Blackrock and Vanguard is a Chinese hedge funds.

I unironically forgot that AC Mirage even existed until he brought it up 5 minutes in. It was "... -> Odyssey -> Valhalla -> Shadows" in my head.

What a ******* moron the last comment in there is.

Seriously, trying to pin the blame on the customers for the shortcomings of the western game industry?

What power did we have exactly in all of this? Either buy woke, uninspired western slop and reward laziness, mediocrity, and an ideology I hate to my guts, or buy good or at least competent games from China? Well, not sorry for taking the less ****** part of the **** sandwich the western game industry created.

The blame is all on them. They had control of the industry and decided to **** it away for brownie points, diversity checkboxes and easy funding through ESG. So don't come back blaming me for your failures when you made your explicit mission to hate me for the better part of 15 years. **** that.

A company being able to purchase a significant share in a studio, and use that influence to tank the studio, is actually a flaw of Capitalism.

[rusty_shackleford]

I saw a picture of the fat asian chick again. Valhalla had similarly fat, brutish looking women as Shadows does.
It's weird how many things being pointed out now were definitely in Valhalla, and Valhalla is supposedly one of their most played games ever made yet nobody noticed it??
I can't even find pictures, but I'm certain they existed. Might have been in… drinking challenges, maybe?

earlier today i saw that in this ****** game they let you **** some highly positioned japanese guy by ******* his japanese to-be wife like a day or something before their marriage without him knowing as Yasuke. they also suddenly made the female characters look alot better than in their other games to try and make this type of **** "more appealing" i guess. in the past you could tell they were trying to make everyone uglier on purpose.

not that the wokies have been very subtle before, but theyre not even trying to hide their agenda anymore in these abominable games.

i dread to think what ****** up **** will be in woke games that are yet to come in the future tbh if this is what were getting now.

I don't know, from what I've seen all the characters, male and female, look uncanny as ****. And I couldn't find a single attractive female face.

But yeah, Yasuke can bang Nobunaga's sister before she is sent off to marry another Daimyo for political reasons. Imagine if she gets pregnant and the she was a ****** baby. The very fact that she runs that risk is beyond suspension of disbelief. There is no way she would run any risks that would destroy his family's reputation like that.

well ill say it like this, they are not the prettiest 3D female models ive ever seen (those would probably go to Tifa and Aerith from Final Fantasy 7, or the Tekken 8 girls also look good, and maybe some from Cyberpunk, Monster Hunter also has some nice ones) but i think they look better than they usually do in Ubisoft games (which is a very a low bar, but yeah).

theres much better out there, but in terms of Ubisoft quality, i feel like they were trying (which, is again a low bar because Ubisoft's best is alot of other studio's worst lol)

honestly, on a side-note, it boggles the mind how, if you never played any of those Japanese games i mentioned (except Cyberpunk which isnt japanese) cuz Japan are the only ones trying to make chicks hot, if you Only ever played Western slop - youd probably be "hypnotized" under the impression that its somehow "impossible" to make female characters look like actual women in games. thats probably the idea. like they always hold back on purpose, to try and make people accept the "Ahh, technical limitations." excuse - but then as soon as you look at girls from the Final Fantasy games... that illussion of "limitations" instantly dies:

I'll never not laugh at Odyssey devs wanting to make Kassandra the only option before Ubisoft execs got directly involved and told them to pull their heads of their asses.

ultimately, only a third of players actually chose to play as woman lol

im a little surprised that it was only a third. i thought most gamers would be gooners thatd want to look at the female protagonists *** the whole game. i also often see streamers make female characters in rpgs.

To be fair they made her really, really ******* ugly

We don't need ur ****** opinion, thx

So they look Japanese then

seems this game continues the trend from Last of Us 2 where the game baits the player into thinking that they could kill off the woke character but then their protagonist ends up sparing them for some dumb reason, outside of the players control, even though with many other things we get to make choices. like in TLOU2 that happened at the end with Ellie sparing Abby for no reason. here, Naoe was going to kill Yasuke for justified reasons too, but then some fat japanese kid (not kidding) came in, said a bunch of non-sensical garbage and she ends up sparing the negro - and we dont get to decide.

they want you to get all hyped up like "Omgg Im gonna choose to kill this ****** and just continue the game as Naoe in peace" but alas... no choice. just a fat japanese kid... cuz they know given the choice, 90% of people would kill him.

Ellie is far more woke than Abby by any metric you can think of

I personally think Abby is worse than Ellie. I dont see how that wouldnt be the case.

Is that because she's more of a woman?
