Inb4: DAS A CONSPIHRUCY

looks like SE dropped the DEI gaming helpers as a partner. smh

sweet baby inc or whatever

Really?

just you, plenty of games out that are great. obviously it's subjective on what is great, most of your list in OP i wouldn't play either even if they are "good games." they aren't good for what i enjoy.

Ign gave unknown 9 a 5 lol
SBI was directly involved in the game. How bad must it really benif the best ign could come up with was “mediocre 5”?

Every steam gamer should join this group.

Its impressive the massive butthurt this meme got


The butthurt yelling "but hey she got a game, the meme makes no sense".

Well, sure she got ONE game where shes the protagonist, but thats one in the spam of a year, while in all Zelda games existence her most usual role is to be captured by whatever random and spend the entire game to Link to come to the rescue.

Im not discussing gender here. It would be 100000% better if the favorite video game character was like Lara Croft, 2B, Aya Brea or many and many strong female character, not a princess that spend her entire lineage being a trophy wife.

The company that made it just didn't pay IGN enough for a higher score.

Pretty sure the actual point of the meme is that when the early LoZ games were new, a lot of people didn't read the little dialogue that was there and assumed that because the games are called Legend of Zelda, that your character is named Zelda. Something along the lines of them not being true gamers because they don't even get the character name right.

I don't think many people actually consider Zelda their favorite character.

Zelda is a bad *** (sometimes), but she ain't got ***on Samus

Who people happened to also think they were a/the male protag

the gameplay looks HORRRRRRRRRRRRIBLE my word
jump to 2:00 for a glimpse of "combat". That ***is as bad as the Outlaws combat.

“Nuuu u cant judge the game because of things racist nazis made up, its not true its a rumor”

Unknown 9 getting like 200 peak players, that shits a wrap

The last colossal failure, or simply the next. Add it to the list.

Any companies planning a new drop that worked with one of these consulting firms better scrap that ***immediately lol

5 year old game with big titty jiggle physics"
340 in game, 484 24-hr peak

two day old game heavily influenced by SBI:
79 in game, 285 24-hr peak

Code Vein isnt even a great game. Its not shitty, but its a very basic soulsborne. Suffice to say, the "modern audience" they're catering to doesnt actually play video games.

It's a lower budget AA game made by random unknown (no pun intended) studio who has never made a game before, honestly if you guys didn't mention it in this thread I wouldn't even know about this game lol.

I read the review, it seems like the entire problem is gameplay, stealth mechanics with bad AI etc. I doubt sensitivity consulting company for narrative caused the main problem here.

The reason why plenty of companies uses sensitivity reader consulting firm is because way too many SJW attacked games for very dumb things that offend them years ago. Like if you depict minority with stereotype people will attack it. As a business you simply wouldn't want to trigger these people.

Since it's normal for a business to avoid risks, that's how those consultant firms like SBI gets business.

Now anti woke start to witch hunt every company that worked with SBI by searching credits. If I am a ceo of those western company, I'd just make sensitivity reading department internal instead. Maybe call it something like "political risk analyze department".

Sensitivity reading in games isn't going away, as long as swj continue to get offended by every little things the demand for sensitive reading will remain in the field of business. Nor such practice should be responsible for bad game design or the lack of budget anyways.

I just woke up and you bring this anti-woke stuff?

Im gonna need to go back to sleep again, dang.

Anti-woke stuff was brought up pages/days ago, you are late...

Youre just an Afania, Afania.

Know your place!

what are these 'new games' you speak of? I havnt been able to get one of those since.. well, actually, probably not since i first got a copy of ff11'
Hell, im back to playing star ocean 2 again. Going after all 1200 voice clips. (minus those that are unobtainable of course)

1-Reflector is a "new" studio, that operates under the Bandai Namco banner. Are you gonna suggest Bandai Namco is some unknown company too?
2-There are no budget numbers I can find. However, it stands to reason that Bandai Namco expected big things from the game. Additionally, you cant cite "its a lower budget AA game" as if it means anything when the retail price of the game is also lower than the usual $80 (although not by much)
3-The game has been bundled with certain new AMD processors or video cards purchased since Aug 6, and the promotion lasts until Nov 2. I guess it doesnt help the bundle also includes Space Marine 2.


If you're CEO of a western company and your biggest concern is "we should make the sensitivity training internal" instead of "why are the products were putting out not selling", you are a *** shitty CEO.

If you think making the "sensitivity reading internal" will fix anything, that will just further erode the gamers from wanting to buy the products. They cant start hiding everything about the games and be like "you'll see it when you buy it, no refunds" and expect that to be a successful move.

Lastly, they're already trying to rebrand DEI to BRIDGE. Same pig with a different shade of lipstick.
