Modern gaming is dead ☠️
But lets not conflate far-left ideas with Democrats. Some Democrats are extreme, but so are some Republicans. And while the insertion of woke ideology in our lives and entertainment can get stupidly annoying, fascism, an abortion ban and ending of the federal Department of Education are far far far worse.
Way is it so hard for game developers to realize that being gay is not important for a characters development. Stop shoving this stuff down our throats and give us good characters. Like kefka palazzo
As an Polish guy: CDPR did many great things, but now they are going to become a dissapointment. In Cyberpunk 2077 LGBTQ was nicely done, there was no pushing, you could be straight, gay, trans, your call, and it was allright. But now they want to screw it up.
CDPR owns and runs GOG. Imagine what they could potentially do to games on that digital storefront.
They became too big… now they will become woke and gay. Let them go.
Well this sounds disappointing…
To be fair, Cyberpunk 2077 already had plenty of "representation", but the majority of it felt organic, and not like message mongering. Each of the 4 romance options was catered to a specific preference, and the characters themselves felt like characters who would organically have those orientations, rather than tokens meant purely for "representation." Having more than 4 options may have been nice, but the ones we got were much more fleshed out because there were fewer of them. Contrast this with Baldur's Gate 3, where there's like 8 romance options that are completely interchangeable, and it's no accident that the only thing any one talked about romance-wise in those games was the bear sex. Probably the only case of LGBT representation in Cyberpunk where it really bothered me is when the "lady" who gives you the racing questline tells you she's actually trans. She doesn't tell you this until 3/4ths of the way through the races, it has no impact on the story/questline, and it's completely tacked on to her character. It genuinely feels like they threw it in entirely to appease the alphabet mafia in the most low-effort way possible. CDPR caught a lot of flak during development of cyberpunk for not being "inclusive", and they mostly deflected from this with PR gestures that (in my opinion) had minimal impact on the final product. If this Mary Kenney person is likewise being used for PR and the end product is likewise relatively untainted by message politics, I can live with that. Hell, if the dev cycle for the next game is anything like the last one, the battle lines in the culture war may be completely different by the time it comes out, so it would behoove them not to aggressively promote the current thing.
Regarding Witcher 4, I'll be honest, I don't like Geralt as a character, and I never have. Being forced to use his face, and being restricted to his personality range, severely limited my ability to enjoy those games. Not every game, not even every RPG, needs a character customizer, but my tastes will always prefer more customization over less. There are problems with those games that run deeper than character customization, like how even in the third one the gameplay loop is simplistic and boring, but feeling more immersed in my character and role would have helped me personally look past those things and appreciate the games more. As they are, I only got to the end of act 1 in the first and third games before moving on to other games, and the terrible tutorial in the second one turned me off of it entirely. I get that other people don't share my feelings about Geralt, and I know that Henry Cavill playing him in the show further ensures that my opinion is the minority one. But, if they do implement a character customizer in 4, that might actually pique my interest. I have a feeling they aren't going to do that though, and instead they will subject players to another pre-generated character who both isn't Geralt and is probably female, making everyone less interested in what they have to offer.
if cyberpunk77 had the online component i probably would have added to steam – not much into single player games, and after shenanigans like these, even less..
chronically online bro
Random said female is gonna be, they're gonna have her kic Gerald's ass probably in seen number one just to prove girl power gerald will be bitter old hateful like luke in kennedys trash
She also blocked everyone warning her to not destroy CD Projekt Red. Talk about a red flag.
As a very small % of the population, they rely on you to comply in order to effective push their agenda. Remember that.
Making a clear point and giving a balanced view is probably more important than talking really really fast. "back in the days when games were good and Crash Bandicoot didn't suck c*ck"? TF are you even talking about? There are more than enough games to celebrate some healthy straight sexism or whatever you're into. Just don't play it.
The only letter they need to focus on is U as in Unemployed.
I'm just going to wait until the game is actually released before I pass judgement.
We are many years away from Cyberpunk Orion and as far as Gerlat not being a main for the 4th installment of the Witcher chronicles, I don't actually see that as a negative. My concerns will always be with the quality of the story, game mechanics, stability and the overall narrative.
As far as Mary Kenney goes, for all we know, she might actually help churn up some really deep stories that is befitting of the cyberpunk culture of California, 50-60 years into the future.
I mean in all fairness, she is actually a very talented writer. Also remember, she has senior writer position. She's one of many writers coming on board and from what I heard through the grape vine, it doesn't actually instill absolute power in her grasp.
The story and quests are still being chiefed by Powel Sasko, Gabe Amatangelo and a handful of other Cyberpunk veteran creators. I say, let her cook. There's absolutely nothing else we can do, but to wait and see.
Also… an important note to make here. Cyberpunk 2077 had members of LBGQT part of their creative team, including the lead art director in charge of all those amazing adverts, shows, artwork throughout NC, etc… All of it was done so masterfully, they were disturbingly believable.
So. Yeah. Don't count them out just yet.
If the game ends up sucking, then that'd be a tragic way to end it's legacy. Another one bites the dust, etc.
But what if it's actually amazing? We have no idea. I mean.. I understand the concerns. I've seen Mary Kelley on Twitter before she abandoned her page.
I'm crossing my fingers for the best, because I absolutely love Cyberpunk 2077.
Now'N days, you have to inhale rooster profusely, in order to work in the mainstream tech/entertainment industry.
Once a small company earns enough capital, the freakshows move in.
'Abandon all hope, ye who enter. ' – R.I.P CDPR. Forget it folks – as much as Witcher 3 was a great game and Cyberpunk2077 became ok-ish at the end, expect only DEI infested zombies from now on. Support only indie projects – as long as they are motivated by nothing but passion.
Just a reminder that CDPR wanted to get rid of Rebecca in the anime but Studio Trigger refused to remove her. Them being woketards doesn't surprise me. Also Rebecca is the best waifu in Cyberpunk
That means they aren't focusing at all on my wallet.
They already had Sphere Hunter in the DLC Phantom Liberty, yes? People shouldn't be too surprised about this LGBTQ pandering and inclusion. Poland must really have a diversity issue over there.
CDPR is FAR FROM the Same Company it Used To Be..
Come on, the game already has masses of LGBTXYZ+++ stuff; most main characters are gay or bi, there are male strippers and prostitutes, and the city has several sex shops for pervs, and not a single one for straight guys. And you can create trans characters in it. How could it even get more woke as far as sex goes? Sad how many fanboys still are in total denial of all that, and claiming the base game is not woke at all.
