Xbob42 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I'm not sure which since I don't like to spoil anything, but apparently you can either be trans or there's a trans character somewhere in the game, which has made the Steam forum discussions go from "Haha I'm gonna play this to make the woke lefties mad" and "Don't play this it supports a transphobe piece of shit" to "Haha you bought a game with trans people in it" and "Another game ruined by the woke agenda" my head is spinning at the whiplash. In any case, I have no respect for people who do things out of spite and spite only, or rather, those that make doing things out of spite their entire personality or lifestyle. You know, like voting based on who it can hurt the most, or buying something to try and make someone else mad, it's just a weak ass way to live and a complete waste of your own life and you basically defer to doing the opposite of others instead of what you actually want. I mean, you're free to do that, I just think it makes you a little bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn’t vote for them thinking it matters 42 minutes ago, Paperclyp said: And again I reject this notion that "bad people get paid no matter what" as a good reason to not care if bad people get paid. Again, that is not my position. I’ll state it AGAIN: I do not care if the money in my pocket ends up in the pocket of some bad person, not in the sense that it is unavoidable (though it is), but because it is irrelevant to me who provides the goods or services I want. The only thing that matters to me is that the goods and services are provided in a way that is consistent with my ethics, because that is what I am explicitly condoning through my purchases. The only difference between knowing explicitly that you’re buying something from a bad person and implicitly so is the mental gymnastics one performs to make themselves feel better about it.

As with the sort that wanted to see this game get a muted reception. Best case scenario, they cancel each other out, and the game sells based on its own merits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went through the character creator, and thought it was interesting that you could choose any combination of face, hair, voice, etc. and then at the very end choose witch or wizard.

TheLeon Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Played about an hour, stopped before going to my first class. I’m trying to imagine how someone new to the franchise would see this game, and I think it makes a fine first impression. But there’s also stuff they won’t get, like why I started laughing when the headmaster was revealed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I mean, it’s running UE4 with RT, which typically means it’ll run like shit except in enclosed areas despite not really looking the part. Like, it’ll look just fine graphically, but probably not to the point to warrant the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bonus structures are tied to various metrics, like sales, and pay might be structured in a way where with bonuses individual developers may be making above average, but without may not be. Who’s to say. That kind of thing is not always shared well. though even if it was the case, the game was always gonna sell well, and it’s not like sales projections are being set by Square Enix where the game needs to sell 50 million units. So they’d still bonus if that was the arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are much better options today to express unpopular beliefs as a poor nobody than as a rich celebrity. It's much simpler to go against the grain if no one knows or cares about you.
