Ok, Chorizo is a fucking adorable name for a puppy! I mean, it's a Wiener dog, we call those "salchichas" which means Wiener, and chorizo is a type of sausage, so not only does it fit, it's both funny and cute! I love it!
I don't mind if you cover the angsty or depressing stuff, just give it some of your typical sass, please.
For me, making fun of the things that bring us down, or the people that are trying to bring us down yield the most cathartic laughs. My wife and I had to pause the video for several minutes while we made fun of someone calling a dachshund "Chorizo." It's like if that same dog appeared in a game that was set in Germany and the dog being called "Wurst."
A game I'm really looking forward to is coming out in July. Monster Hunter Stories 2. I maintain that the first one was the best pokemon game on the 3ds, but because it came out about a month before Sun and Moon did, it didn't stand a chance. It got the respect it deserved long after it came out. I hope the people who were disappointed with sword and shield like I was give it a try. I have Iceborne, but I have a tough time getting into the mainline monster hunter series, Stories I liked. I never thought a sequel was going to happen.
And I'd like to toss Techland in there. Dying Light 2 looks really good and they're doing really ambitious stuff regarding player choice.
When has far cry not been called racist?
I just wish people took back their power in not buying or watching something they don't like instead of complaining and ruining the experience for everyone and allow creators to create stories they want to tell.
It would be great to just enjoy the experience without people being pedantic.
I hate to admit it, but I would favor console war nonsense over what goes on now. Too much drama over so little.
Well, at least I remain optimistic about what's coming out. Amico is looking good. I'm genuinely excited about current and upcoming Switch and PC games. Port of Legend of Mana. Ports and releases of Touhou Project games, with Hyouibana playing well on console. The list goes on.
Too slow
Farcry 4 was jumped on immediately.
Just saying i kinda hate e3, but that's a personal issue.
More then happy to wait
Praise the Algorithm
Ubisoft is European and more specifically French. And the French like doing things their own way, which is diametrically oppostie to the American games media. Who are of the "my way or the highway"-school of thought.
Mild xeno-, euro- and francophobia, effectively. Which – from what I can tell – is becoming more common in some parts of the "wokosphere."
Also; 15:45 – No, wrong.
I fucking called it
You probably know my answer. I'm tired of positivity just being used as a delaying tactic or excuse to ignore disappointment, so I tend to be drawn to the negative even though I don't like it. This has been going on in me since ME3 where first it was disappointment, then it was vilification for being disappointed. It's not that I like it of find it helpful, but I think too many are looking for excuses when let people down, and I'm tired of being quiet about it.
I'd love more positivity, but I'm just really tired of my faith in people being rewarded for it being an exception not the rule. I'd love more wow experiences, but if the best we can hope for is to not shit the bed, it's hard to let hype get a hold of you anymore.
How the fuck do all these snowflakes not melt in the summer?
I prefer assuming the worst. It has been correct 100% of the time the last 5 years.
I have rules these days (I'm not always perfect at following them, but I try). I don't go past "cautious optimism" for any Western media product until I've seen the WHOLE THING and it's set in stone. Because the moment I let myself get really super hyped…that's when they'll break a promise, or censor something, or cave to a cancel mob, or otherwise do something that says to me "ha ha sucker, you just gave your money and your emotional energy to people who hate you and want you to feel stomped on!". Where I can, I often try to practice "pirate first, buy after if it was good" to avoid those sucker punches. The SJWs won in at least one way: they wanted everybody to think about media politically, fine, okay, these days I treat every purchase and every word of free advertising I give as a vote, and I try to be a high-information voter. And sometimes I still get suckered, because I've already committed by the time the "by the way, ha ha we hate you!" reveal comes out, like WandaVision cutting Dr. Strange because it's unacceptable for a white man to provide exposition, and that ended up being the real reason the finale was such a let-down.
The only way to win my real trust is to do something expressly ANTI-woke, then openly and notoriously hold your ground in the face of the mob. Then I'm satisfied the company won't betray whatever trust I put in them because they've burned their bridges and have nowhere else to go. I realize how sad and paranoid that sounds, but it's where we are, the culture war has made me sad and paranoid. But anything short of that the best I'll do is "I like Y product and am happy to give you X money for it, pleasure doing business, but we are not friends". And I realize that may not be TACTICALLY the best approach, but it's the best approach that lets me also keep my sanity and my dignity so it's what I need to stay in this at all and not just retreat into an armored bubble of alt-indie stuff and anime. I need to be able to look myself in the mirror and not see someone who'll basically stay in an abusive relationship with a company where they hit me and I just say "but I still love you!" And by this point, all the big Western media companies have hit me at least once.
And that's where I am with Far Cry 6. I'm cautiously optimistic, it looks good, I wanna play it…but they could cave to the journo outrage tomorrow, and I'm not gonna be the fool who metaphorically tattoos their logo on my butt before finding out for sure if something like that is gonna happen or not.
I believe the testy festy is a real thing in Montana. And I like the more fun oriented videos 🙂
The game Won’t be out for another 4 months, and people are already calling it racist. The Internet in a nutshell
Lets be honest, the people who think Far Cry 6 is racist are the same people who think literally everything is racist. Its a scab that never heals because we never stop picking at it. Let the lunatics ramble on twitter there is no reason to humor or engage them.
see while i agree with you liana i can very much understand where that arguement of we need to yell loudly too, comes from, cause as it currently feels and looks most the time, they are listening to those outrage mobs more then us gamers. again, i think you are right but im just saying what ive observed and how it must seem to a lot of people right now. i just wish there was some way we could signal that they were listening to us or we could see a more concrete example of them listening to gamers and not journos and the outrage mobs then tiny bits here and there. that issue is only compounded when people see things like articles and games awards shows and how they act and shit. cause honestly i feel the average, casual gamer, reads and watches that shit still and gives them meaning or they wouldnt still be happening
With the Ubisoft thing, my theory on why the more outrage-oriented types pick on them so much comes down to a few things. Ubisoft has put out that they care about social progress, and yes they're a brand, but I still think there's legit sincerity behind it. That leaves an opening for the outrage types to constantly nudge their way into because there's a pretty good chance Ubi will respond in good faith.
My other theory is that even though Ubisoft has a pretty diverse workforce, they're considered a majority white company. Therefore, any attempt to make a game centered around a real culture that's "not theirs" will automatically be "appropriation" and hence "problematic". If I, a white American guy, got a dachshund for a pet and named it "Chorizo", those people would probably think the same thing about me. I understand wanting people to be respectful of other cultures but restraining creativity by declaring people the wrong sort to talk about something will never sit right with me.
I’m working on a Days Gone video myself – that game is fantastic (playing for the first time on PC)
I would love a video of you talking more on RE8!
A dachshund called Chorizo is the best thing I can think of right now. Lmao I'm stuck on the dog. That's great. Chorizo. 😂
rivet is sexy and i cant wait to play that game cause fucking hell that game looks amazing. hope the ryno returns, maybe this time playing shopan?
ill be honest i like a good analysis on the downer stuff from someone who knows what the hell they are talking about. but giving videos that are just good feels are good too, i think we kinda need to go back and forth with these, maybe alternating weeks or one day for each unless something comes up that is seriously relavent to throw off the usual like something happening with a game or company that NEEDS addressing or we need to talk bout a game like something that really needs a spotlight for bad content or a spotlight for a company doing something epically right
Remember when Jim Sterling called Far Cry 4 racist because he thought Pagan Min was white and victimising a brown person (Ajay Ghale) in the poster? And that it was sexist and glorifying sexual violence because Hurk was holding his harpoon gun in front of his dick? And when Ubisoft responded that Pagan Min wasn't white, he still maintained it was Ubisoft's fault for not making it more obvious? This is the level of intellectual discourse we have come to expect from game journalists.
