Its problem is not that it’s woke, but that it’s shit.
Anyone who doesn’t play a game because it’s woke, has their head so far up the culture war ass, they have lost all reason.
It’s also the same people where the message behind more subtle media is lost on them. Starship troopers, for example.
For some reason the second most followed curator on steam is Sweet Baby Inc Detected. Its pretty widespread brain rot.
agreed, there is so much lore to criticize about this game but of course this is what gets headlines and rage clicks.
Imho it’s marketing. The game is bad, writing is bad, gameplay is boring after a while, it seems (except for technical optimization) the game itself is a big mobile game. The “woke criticism” is exploited by ea to sell more, since it create engagement and hide the real flaws of the game
Take my lemmy gold kind stranger
There usually aren’t many complaints of something being woke if the product is actually good. I think the main takeaway is that nobody wants to be lectured, and told they are wrong for having a different opinion, and amateurish writing can easily come across as preachy or being a self-insert.
Pretty much this.
I will likely get downvoted into oblivion for saying this (as usual), and I will prelude by saying that I generally never care if there are gay, trans or whatever stuff in games. But transgenders and pronouns were never ever a thing in the Dragon Age franchise, and now they suddenly feature these so prominently. They just handled this very badly.
The fact that writing is generally just plain bad for this game, these inclusive options also seems to affect the rest of the game as well. And it indeed makes it look like they focused on the wrong narrative so much. The way Skill Up reviewed the game was perfect, his best summary was “it’s as if HR is standing in every room” or something along those lines. Like nobody is allowed to insult, or be insulted, in this franchise that used to be pretty dark and grim.
Yeah but have you seen the cutscenes of DA:V?
If that childish word salad sounds “preachy” to you, you need to go to a different preacher! Yours can’t even english.
How can this sound preachy to anybody? Has the fascist right lowered their own standard of education enough to where they think Marvel-style dialogue is normal?!
I will play it but piracy version.
I’m annoyed about EA and their LGBT washing to dump sells.
