YEAH THERE WAS AND THE PLOT IS THAT YOU PUT DOWN A GOBLIN LIBERATION MOVEMENT. also the goblins are jewish stand ins. also there a good goblin who says that no matter how much discrimination there is you cant use violence to defend yourself. also the goblins are evil because their culture has a different understanding of labor and capitalism. also blood libel. qnd happy elf slaves that love being slaves and HERES THE KICKER the lead producer for most of the game was a far right chud who made gamergate videos year before getting hired. he was fired after he said something racist I think. i think about this game often while ripping my hair out.
In Baldur’s Gate 3 you can prevent a tiefling from doing a revenge killing on a goblin or even lead a goblin raid on a druid grove to show those stupid tree-huggers what for
a much better game.edit to clarify i did not play the terf game i hate watched a bunch of videos about it because i was shocked by the antisemitism.
Sadly if you want to play as a goblin you have to mod the game
You can also play as a half-orc but not an orc
Normalize greenskin social integration you fucking cowards
In addition to all that stuff, the story was just straight up yawn-worthy boring
yes it was sooooo basic, it definitely seems like a story for little kids (makes sense), but what little kids is buying a 60$ game? who is this for?
Games have been $60 off and on for 3 decades now, so honestly, any kid who has an n64 or above has been getting $60 games for quite some time now. It took me 6 months to save up for Jet Force Gemini, I’ll never forget how disappointed I was with it after getting home.
Huh. I always thought Yahtzee was at the very least chud-adjecent just based on vibes but he makes a pretty strong rejection of Rowling and TERFs in general in this. Cool to see.
Having a kid is interesting that way. Its like a coin flip whether it makes you a better or worse person but it seems to fairly frequently make a significant impact that way. Some people become absolute demons because of it but for others it gives them a lot of perspective.
Apparently the former owner or manager or something of the escapist was a big gamergate guy, but now he doesn’t work there and the current staff disavow him pretty frequently. Yahtzee seems pretty on board with trans rights and stuff but clearly doesn’t want to talk about. Whenever he brings up politics in his reviews though it’s always shitting on right wingers
Started out as a lib, but was at the very least entirely opposed to the invasion of Iraq for mostly-coherent reasons (aka reasons you formulate before you feel confident in saying the word Imperialism). Honestly, I think he’s at a good spot for a media critic–makes sure to mention that he is just a media guy and not an expert in political theory. Also he didn’t fall for the weird loop that a lot of gamergate adherents fall for, where they develop a strong anti-corporate mindset but manage to keep hating LGBT because they conflate corpo pandering with some kind of gay conspiracy.
They’re forgetting the best game of the year smh
ive been a harry potter hater since i was in first grade and my friends were trying to hype me up for the first movie. i was vindicated years later when jk rowling ended up being a terrible person
if there is one harry potter hater on earth, that is me if there are no harry potter haters on earth then i am dead
You’re telling me now for the first time.
