She didn't even work on this game or even at Obsidian anymore.
The point is that the ******** character is based on the likeness of the ******** writer.

You might be right but that ruined the joke. Not my fault that that bobs and vegana shower poses like "Captain Marvel" on social media :old2:

This is the debate for those that don't want to read the last 5 pages of back and forth.
no its been 5 pages of rusty being contrarian and shifting goalposts and people pointing that out

dont start with the enlightened centrist crap!
I spent hours deliberating to accurately represent both sides of the argument.

Patel hasn't even looked like that in years. This is what she looks like now:

She made herself more inoffensive-looking to market Avowed. Case of apophenia here.

You're right, the game would be so much more improved if we had a communist homosexual white male companion, that would be way less woke

That wouldn't be a ******, which is better, yes.
So you'd rather have a cumslurping ****** commie who is also named ISRAEL Gannon?

Avowed gained 2500 players on the weekend then fell off a cliff, I give OW2 1500. Game is DOA.

Yeah, you're absolutely correct. She's white (English-Irish descendant?)
That's why I called her a "bobs and vegana shower" upthread (look it up), because she shows some **** her bobs and vegana.

Do not bother. It's Fallout 4 with more skill checks and peak reddit writing.

Games with mostly black people can make sense in some cases, if you let black characters be black. Def Jam Vendetta was a fun little idea. **** was so much more enjoyable in the 2000s decade because whites had their things, blacks had theirs. It was only when "diversity" trampled all over the white things while the black things all turned out to be gay or buck broken that stuff became unenjoyable.

If those 80gbs of space are precious to you, nah. I'm enjoying it but it's not great, not even sure I'd call it good. It's between okay and good, just engaging enough for me not to drop it. :turtle:

Fight for New York was a **** fine game. I used to never care about the races of characters in games because they tended to be properly portrayed and had some authenticity to them. If you had blacks it was going to be some thug **** like GTA San Andreas, or maybe you had a chill/funny/lazy negro sidekick with some good lines which was a character archetype that I always found fun. It was only when they started giving black characters whitewashed, corporate-approved personalities that are completely unrealistic and serve not to entertain but rather to "inform" the player of how members of certain races should be viewed that it became so tiresome. And the replacement of predominantly male characters with minority female girlbosses did no favors. We basically went from having a chill black bro riding shotgun with you smoking blunts and doing drivebys and getting into crazy jams for you to bail him out of, to having some screeching woman nagging you to get to the next map checkpoint and continue on with the main quest.

I got banned from the OW2 steam forums for "misinformation" for posting the obsidian developer's direct quote about white men from this:



Only for a day, and I had already made about 10-15 other threads/posts bashing the devs and the game, so I guess I'll be back tomorrow to put in more work.

I will give the devs credit in that it seems they made all NPCs killable which in a universe filled with subhuman looking creatures is a huge positive. I wish more RPGs let you murder everyone in your path.

It's interesting how much the point of view of the game changed from the first one. Outer Worlds 1 was "All capitalism bad, m'kay" and Outer Worlds 2 is "Communism is worse on every level and only literally ******** people can believe in it."
I've been perusing reddit to find answers to minor questions that ChatGPT wasn't able to answer due to how new the game is. They do every mental gymnastics trick in the book to avoid saying that the bad guys are communists. They just claim that "the Protectorate faction is theocratic fascism and is clearly based on the Nazis."
They literally act like the NPCs in this game who go "I was devastated that my house got destroyed in the flood, but then the (mandatory) radio told me that I feel happy and, you know, turns out that I'm very happy."
The game still has too many *******. There's way too many women soldiers and all of them are competent badasses while the men are all either cowards or get injured first.
There's also an audio log of some chick who says she misses her wife and how she wants to be with her in the afterlife in the very first town. So, I guess the "no ****" claim about the game is deboonked.

As I posted prior, the game is riding the centrist fence so hard that it has splinters up its ***.

There's entire feuds about them wanting to go back to working on communes, having state-assigned jobs, etc., Anyone who thinks they're nazis is a communist high on copium.
Treating your leader like a religious figure is also what many communist regimes did, not nazism, as nazism never sought to abolish Christianity beyond their disdain for the catholic church.

Both the factory and the town that got flooded have competent male leaders
