It's interesting that with all the kvetching about it on /v/, the prevailing opinion about The Outer Worlds 2 is actually 'mostly positive' when you limit reviews only to people who actually play games.

In order to leave a review, you'd have to buy the "game". But the "game" isn't even worth the bandwith to pirate it. Naturally, the demographic who buys the "game" would also be inclined to leave a positive review.

In other words, you -- overpaid, underqualified shill -- showcase that the pre-requisite to the purchase is clinical retardation and controversy milling.

You're putting the cart before the horse. It's "all" I talk about because it is in every single game, and has been for years. If you want people to stop talking about it because it stops happening, nothing would make me happier. If you want people to stop talking about it because they all agreed to play pretend with you and act like they aren't being actively propagandized at via increasingly subpar entertainment, sorry, not interested.

You're also under the mistaken belief that the newer Dragon Age games being awful is somehow divorced from their being woke, which is plainly false, the two are closely interconnected. Woke content gives insight into hiring, priorities, how they view their own audience, and these things in turn give insight into outcomes and quality. There has never been a red flag indicator with as perfect a track record as woke shit.

Because the only people bothering to review a game are people that knew what they were getting and wanted to like it in the first place, getting negative reviews is usually the result of preventing those people from playing it. Either through shit performance or not localizing for China or whatever. The Steam review is mostly just an indication of whether or not the game functions.

Its not divorced but it doesn't change the fact that culture war posters do not even engage with the game itself at all at any point
the idea that you think every game is like this just goes to show how little you play
even within woke games, the idea that every game is equally woke which is how you guys act also goes to show how little you actually play games
you will have the same vitriol for a game that doesn't use "male/female" in character creation as you will for something wildly egregious like Dragon Age or Life is Strange
it makes you all come across as politically motivated delusional retards who don't even care about video games outside of what they can do for furthering your interests
you guys were assmad about KCD2 for christ sake (none of you played it)

>it doesn't change the fact that culture war posters do not even engage with the game itself at all at any point
It does. When people discuss the content of the game, the way it was made, and why it was made that way, they are engaging with the game itself. "This story heavy RPG features a story tinged with troon bullshit" is no less relevant than "This story heavy RPG has a bad story" or whatever discussion you're looking for, and is no less relevant than "this ability does X damage but should do Y" or whatever discussion you're looking for.

What you're doing is seeing people discuss games in a way you don't like, and making the decision that they're not actually discussing games because you find a break from reality to be more appealing than the idea that a large swathe of people are just really, really tired of vitilgo and troon shit and political mistranslations and all the rest of it. It'll stop being discussed here the day it stops happening.

If it were real organic discussion about games by people who care about games you would see a mix of discussion but its conveniently always just one side of the story that happens to be the side easiest to discuss without ever actually playing video games. At no point have I said the things you're mentioning shouldn't be discussed at all. We both know most discussion about this shit is fueled by 30 second webms of 60 hour games people share.

>If it were real organic discussion about games by people who care about games
It is. You've decided it isn't because you maybe find it politically disagreeable, but I've cared about games since before most of you were born, and I hate seeing this done to them. If you want to argue that /v/ is a low information environment filled with streamer watching ESL retards, you're absolutely right, couldn't agree more, but that's really beside the point of discussing woke shit in games. The root cause of that discussion is the games themselves, and that discussion is fundamentally about the games, it isn't some sidecar.

30 second webms are a double edged sword, I've definitely seen them used by various discords to sway the retards here against something, e.g. Cyberpunk. But a 30 second webm of a Dragon Age character looking into the camera and making sure you know they're a troon is a horse of a different color, it's a succinct window into what the game is at a foundational level, how it's written, why it was written that way, the sort of people who made it. It's situational.

This game isn't a failure because people hate it. It's a failure because absolutely no one cares about it. Apathy wins. Doing nothing wins. Nobody even thinks enough of this garbage to shitpost about it or buy it and review bomb, and that's a fate far worse than internet mockery.
