Virtue Signaling in Gaming Megathread, v.2

[GearSolidMetal]

Yes...they're about as good a sample as you can get for a games quality. You are doing ridiculous gymnastics to try and give random streamers who have never played the game (or your dad Mr. Musk) over people who literally bought and played it.

Streamers have literally streamed themselves playing the game, unlike the publication reviewers who may have played it like....



Or are constantly complaining about the difficulty in FromSoft games, which is basically an admittion they play games they review on the easiest difficulty to beat the game quicker.

So big swing and miss by you to imply 'gaming journalists' are more qualified gamers than streamers, who actually do prove they play games well. It's basically a requirement to become popular.

Your logic makes no sense. New gamers played and reviewed Veilguard,

Oh I have no doubt about that.

just like new gamers played and reviewed Origins and every other game in history. Your logic is that new gamers only affected the reviews of this one game, which is clearly not true since new gamers are constantly joining the market.

Never said any of that.
You're at the point in the discussion you're making up what I said and arguing against that.

And guess what affects a game...its development. Jesus lol.

Not really.
Witcher 3 & Cyberpunk2077 are two of the five best games released in this and last decade, and both of their developments were nightmares for the developers.

Are you really going to keep going with the 'Great games have smooth developments' myth you just made up?

I have no idea who that it is,

Of course you don't.

EA doesn't get to handpick critics post-launch. Veilguard's Steam Scores (which require you to play the game) were better than Anthem and ME: Andromeda.

and and

Damn. Three times in one sentence. Impressive even for you.

First, Steam doesn't require you to play the game, only to own the game.

Second, it's sitting at 70.5% positive all-time, but only 63% positive in the last 30 days, so it would seem to be only a matter of time before it falls below the 70% threshold, and is no longer a "mostly positive" game. Andromeda is at 74.8% positive all-time.


Third, LMFAO, it was never rated higher on Steam than Anthem, because Anthem never even launched on Steam (and was never part of the EA Play on Steam library).

I saw someone mention this before on X and I think it's true. Right-wingers seem to be obsessed with the left but people on the left can easily shut out the right and never bother associating with them.

seeing the angry dude on your team raging across the same page of the thread that this post is on, shows you are laughably incorrect

Some people on the right get overly upset about the left
Some people on the left get overly upset about the right

Putting yourselves on a self erected pedestal of false intellectual superiority is 100% the preserve of the far left though

 

[SuperAlly]

And 98% of Console & PC gamers are men.
Stop cherry-picking statistics favorable to your argument, especially when everybody knows the statistics counter to it.

Should men start getting jobs at Mattel and influencing the next models of Barbie dolls?




Um no, leftists lives in their own echo-chamber.
Leftists listen to exclusively to leftistst.
Leftist news.
Leftists commentary.
Leftists opinions.
Its why 'Leftists are NPCs' meme is so very accurate.

Nobody watches Daily Wire cartoons.
There actually are right-wingers in entertainment, and they usually keep their mouths shut about politics because they'd prefer to keep working in entertainment.

Because leftists like you like to refer to everyone that disagree with you on politics as 'ists' or 'phobes' effectively blacklisting them from the industry.

This is actually very well known, but its of no surprise that you're completely unaware of it, Zazen, because you're in your leftist echochamber.

Your 'safe space.'

Actual mic drop here

 

[SuperAlly]

You act like consoles aren't shared purchases frequently. People keep presenting you data that shows a significant portion of gamers are female and all you have are "but I don't know any" and "mobile games aren't for real gamers." That's flat earther level logic you got there.

2 posts ago a guy on your teams argument was “I once had a penal in Koreas”.

The same dude who pulled someone else up for using their own experience as an argument.

The hypocrisy is hilarious

 

[Dizzy]

Grummz getting desperate and racist to keep the clicks flowing. Got absolutely roasted by Halo fans.

yeah like not even close. Historically (and I've already posted about this) Mattel has hired women and men to design Barbie. It has been more or less 50/50 in recent years and the trend of hiring men to design barbie started back in the 80s and 90s. They don't care as long as they are good designers. So if an item like a barbie doll that is primarily played by girls (90% - thought this would be higher but there are a lot of collectors out there apparently) can be designed by either men or women then why can't either sex develop video games?

And although console gamer is still very male dominant it isn't as lopsided as claimed by the bozo you quoted. He is known for literally shooting off the hip without any research whatsoever. At a quick glance/search it is 29% female for PS, 32% for female for Xbox and 46% female on the Switch. Statistica claims 42% female overall for all console gamers. It also claims 42% female for PC/laptop. So i'll trust those numbers over some momo who just randomly pulled some BS number (98% male console gamers) out of his ass.

 

[SuperAlly]

It does matter, because your whole post was about how foolish and hypocritical it was for non-Japanese people to speak up for the Japanese, when in reality it was a Japanese person speaking. You made the classic logical failure of starting from your conclusion and working backwards, which is why you double down here instead of simply admitting that you made a mistake.

What an absolute raging bellend he just made of himself.

What he thinks and means is “doesn’t matter you have logically defeated the argument I presented because far left loony extremism is always correct”

 

[SuperAlly]

Yes. And? I never said or implied that it did. I never said that person was right, or voiced my own thoughts on the matter. You're just stuck in a conflict mindset, so you assume my position must be opposite yours. Why did you feel the need to make fun of me? Because I correctly identified a Japanese person? I wasn't even snarky or rude about it. That was my sole contribution here, but you saw fit to try to belittle me, because you look at everything through that lens of us vs. them.

You are routinely making those zealots look idiotic by using logic and courtesy.

I’m not sure why avenue is dying on these ridiculous hills

Just be honest. Loads of woke shit Tv, movies and games have failed and the vast majority of people have had enough of woke shit in their entertainment

Why fight reality this hard.

Pretty sure this is the first time someone has ever accused her of being a prominent voice in anything.

Quoting Mark Kern is like sourcing Kanye West.

Kanye is at least successful.

So big swing and miss by you to imply 'gaming journalists' are more qualified gamers than streamers, who actually do prove they play games well. It's basically a requirement to become popular FOR A MALE STREAMER.


Not really.

Are you really going to keep going with the 'Great games have smooth developments' myth you just made up?



Of course you don't.

You have to be good or attractive and female.

If you're an ugly dude, you better be funny.



And you are correct, plenty of great projects have done time in development Hell before they were fully put together and released.

Films too. It's not unusual.
