> Captain, my entire companion quest revolves around introducing me to drinking and helping me come out as an asexual dyke

Bravo Obsidian. This is the power of Fallout New Vegas?

i hope their new episode flops hard like bankruptcy and living in the street flop

>This is the power of Fallout New Vegas?
No, in that game game the dykes don't need your help and the sluts are already blown out by the start of the game.

>>717546049 (OP)
I get not wanting Player Character romance, but why the fuck do you have to hook up the dyke? How is that any better?

>>717551107
Companion quests almost always revolve around their self actualization as a method to keep the player engage in their character devellopement. That includes coming to terms with their sexuality sometimes.

Would you like a less obvious response?

It's to cuck you, specficially.

>>717551815
Are things just going to get more lame and gay or is there any hope?

>>717552040
corporate wokeness will only last as long as it is profitable and serves to take the attention away from corporate malpractices (i.e enshitiffication of products)
so things will get more lame and less gay probably

>>717552586
No hope, got it. I'm just going to emulate old PSX games

>>717546049 (OP)
Heterosexual relationships are now forbidden in fiction so every female character is now a lesbian or asexual and ever male is submissive to them.

It's a very lazy modern writing cliche, but the people partaking in it are sadly just too slow to realize it.

>>717546049 (OP)
That game ran out of steam after the first planet.

Pride isn't just faggotry, it's actually trying to be as stupid as possible.

So when do you take her to conversion therapy to fix whatever's broken inside her?

>>717552586

It already isn't, but larry fink has infinite money.

Thats outer world, not New Vegas

>>717551107
What's important is to not give straight men any power fantasy. It has never been about romance, or sex. They LOVE romance and sex if it's solely queer and female pandering.

>>717552040
>Are things just going to get more lame and gay or is there any hope?
Don't play Western trash. Don't play Western AAA trash.

>>717551107
In simpler terms, it's LITERALLY a humiliation ritual for straight male players. These devs are all culture warriors.

>>717552040
just stay away from games made in america, canada and sweden and you should be good for the most part.

>What's important is to not give straight men any power fantasy.
Anyone, please.

Name the last straight male romance in a major Western game that featured an attractive woman who was visibly affectionate towards the man.

I really seen the disingenuous attention to detail when you walk into that first space ship and the computer just has dialogue for every room you enter, that isn't attention to detail you're trying to trick me.

I'M SO SICK OF IT

That was the moment I dropped it.

"From the creators of Fallout New Vegas" my ass.

>>717555847
Women being nice and loving to men is an incel sexist fantasy.

>>717546049 (OP)
how does someone being asexual affect you personally?

It doesn't, but it starts to irritate me when developers prefer making games about asexual women than games for straight men. That's actually the issue, here. I think everyone here can agree that they wouldn't really care about trans or lesbian or black characters if "they" got pandered to as well. Japanese games are full of the very stuff most people here deride, but the outrage is so much lesser because the Japanese still give (you) big-breasted beauties that blush when (you) look at them.

You guys are onto something... even Kojima threw away the idea of Sam and Fragile ending up together as a couple... fucking faggot gook.

>>717556467
>even Kojima threw away the idea of Sam and Fragile ending up together as a couple
Kojima was never big on romance, and Norman Reedus would very likely refuse mocapping that since he was "testy" throughout Death Stranding.

>>717555921
How does someone being against this slop affect you personally?

>>717555921
when you make an entire companion quest in a vidya be solely about it

name one single good game obsidian has made besides new vegas

>>717556780
Pillars of Eternity!!!

>>717556780
i thought pillars of eternity was okay
i never played the second one bc it looked like more of the same and that was when Sawyer was in one of his embarrassing passive aggressive phases about heckin Larian

>>717556008
I feel like it goes beyond that. Like not only changing the material but general design, shape and color.

>>717556934
After the public seething he did through the whole 'BG3 is an anomaly' discourse pre-launch, you just know Sawyer was quietly waiting for BG3 to launch and be a financial failure ($100 million CRPG, LMAO good luck with that!). I bet he was planning to gloat from a noble and charitable position following that. Then he had to sit there and watch BG3 become a global phenomenon and win every award. Must have been murder on his mental health.

>>717556780
Grounded, Deadfire, Tyranny, Pentiment.

>>717557831
I absolutely loved seeing him positively seething about the success of both DoS2 and BG3.

B-but muh asexual representation! It affects at least 0.0008% of the US population!

>>717558101
The point is we all have to do better. In terms of attaching our pics to our posts.

>>717557831
that was phase 2 of it lel
what i was talking about was when he was having mental breakdowns about Divinity Original Sin 2 and doing PLEASE BUY DEADFIRE powerpoint presentations at corporate dicksucking conventions. There's pics of the slides somewhere but i don't have any of them kek

>>717558238
I only have the meme version.

Did Avowed bomb? Looks like stale slop

>>717558881
there's absolutely no way it made it's money back considering it was a goypass day 1 and wasn't full price
microsoft doesn't release actual sales numbers for any of their subsidiaries vidyas tho

>>717558604
i remember the real slides aren't much different from that

>>717556658
It doesn’t, just like someone not liking pineapple on pizza shouldn’t ruin your whole week. But when “representation” becomes a checklist in every game and it overrides actual character development or storytelling, yeah, people are gonna notice. You can’t keep calling it “fighting for inclusion” when what you’re really doing is turning every narrative into a Tumblr blog post.

>>717557831
he has some kind of swen vincke complex bc he was acting like that with dos2 in 2018 even tho that's like the definition of a AA game
he was acting like it sold 20 million copies
