Making games is hard. Making complex RPGs is even harder.
What about simple games like Skyrim that shipped with missing textures?
-
Does anyone else spot the irony in some people reacting to Obsidian caving in to people who are too easily offended by irrelevant things by announcing they'll never buy an Obsidian game again until Obsidian changes back a few lines of text? Seriously, how are some of you any better than the SJWs you're whining about?
What's funny is that these same people are perfectly fine with nonsense like this:
Which puts the memorials at just slightly better than Sonic The Hedgehog furry fanfic but you know outrage and boycotts...
-
It's a dumb joke but it fits the game world better than a host of other memorials.

I triggered when I saw the quote from this guy:
My therapist thanks the person that wasted their money leaving that immersion breaking nonsense in game.

Made more impressive by the fact that XP use is still higher than Linux.

If we are going by track record, there is only one country that has actually gone through with nuclear attacks.
Look at it this way, if the Russians hadn't allowed a psychopath to take over after Lenin, Truman would have stopped at just burning Japan to the ground with incendiary bombs.

For example are women really equal to men in the corporate world? 30 years ago many people thought that a women's role was in the kitchen getting the dinner ready, the TV series Mad Men highlights just how bad and institutionalized sexism was
Not sure I would have went with a "fictional show illustrates how life was like 50 years ago" example, but maybe it'll work out for you.
It may be fictional but its accurate account of a women's role in the workplace and perceived place in the home in the 1960's and earlier
As someone that has talked to women who were alive in the '60s and earlier, no it isn't.

Where did all the humorous posters go on these forums?
They're wondering why it's "racist" for a white woman to sing along to the chorus of "All Gold Everything". Would you complain if it was Oprah?

Oh, it's just that one guy thanked me for his job and it brought me to my ****ing kness. I still don't know how to properly process that.
So yeah, I get upset when people say Obsidian wasn't in bad shape, or imply this is PR, or get pissed off when devs mention DLC in a Kickstarter, or talk about how money shouldn't matter (even after you donated to a sometimes multi-million dollar project), or ask for a refund after they find out that making games is a job, or pull pledges after the devs reveal a stretch goal for female PCs, or that they ask for refunds because the dev supports female inclusion in the industry. They often forget that game creators are real people and not magical fun-time pixies that don't exist within the same plane as mortals.
It's interesting how adept Feargus is at saying "**** publishers for screwing us over and then downrating us for the layoffs caused like it's our fault" euphemistically. He's buzzing around it like a moth around a lamplight, but never actually getting there. Obsidian still needs good relationships with publishers, they managed to stay mid-sized after the 2012 layoffs, so it's noticeable how carefully he words his opinions -- contrast this with how Brian Fargo does it, who forwent** the traditional funding model, and openly badmouths publishers. On a related note, I'm curious if Fargo'll ever regret doing so; burning bridges in business is a real thing.
Relations between companies don't work the same way as relations between people though. He can say "f**k publishers" and strike a deal with EA tomorrow if both parties are interested. It's not like he's offending anyone.
Which Brian did exactly that by making WL2 for Microsoft & Sony.
Which Brian did when he said he was going to put Wasteland 2 on Origin.
What?

Would Vault City's First Person be as memorable as a random white guy instead of Joanne Lynette?
Don't confuse not believing it's a necessity with it being a bad thing.
It's a simple yes or no question, there is no need for the defensive deflection.
-
Why do we need diversity in NPCs, exactly?
Is just odd to want to identify with the soldiers in COD or the PC in an RPG - it is a game, right?

What you're dealing with here is, essentially, a paranoid conspiracy theory, and like most conspiracy theories, reason and facts are no match for it.
If this is true then Skyrim is a perfect game and Wasteland 2 is a buggy unplayable mess. The game press isn't biased, after all.

Do you really believe these random bloggers care about anything beyond the page clicks they get when writing hit pieces?
-
Of course the best unforeseen consequence of political correctness is that inXile is being mistaken for Obsidian Entertainment. Even the RPG Codex can't escape it.
-
During the course of the game, players can interact and purchase services from a prostitute—no sexual act is ever depicted.
So it's like every single American cRPG ever where we are free to gib every single enemy we see but we won't be shown a nipple because those lead to riots and looting in our streets?

Some things just don't need a debate.
example?
You fell for the bait.
The internet is serious business. You should post an essay on medium.com about how offensive it is that no one takes it seriously.

Yeah, Mark Kern was the specific dev from WoW. And yeah, they may not have come out explicitly for gamergate, but they're calling out the same people for the same reasons, so it counts.
Yeah, but how could you think anything was corrupt on the game blogs when Skyrim gets perfect scores and Wasteland 2 gets marked down to slightly better than average because of bugs? There is clearly nothing questionable going on there.

how do you imagine GG will progress
No one cares. For all the bluster that the Justice League of Internetardia throws around, the hashtag is still just people disagreeing with each other on the internet with a few websites cashing in on the extra traffic. Most people have real problems to deal with.

Yes, but how exactly are you going to verify the story? Are you going to fly to Lagos and hunt the blogger down or are you going to do like the rest of the sane members of the human race have done and open another beer to enjoy the floor show?

The tendency to unthinkingly follow the party line so you can earn internet cred is common to both the "SJW" and "anti-SJW" camps.Interesting that if you make this argument for #GamerGate you're enabling a hate group and being a useful idiot.
I agree with this. The Target situation with GTA 5 made it clear to me that there certainly is a bit of party line following within gamergate. All Target did was act like a business. It's completely normal for a business not to offer a product if enough people complain about said product.
Wrong, Target AU bowed to the whims of a group with a message that is really no different than OneMillionMoms.com that will only lead to more self-censorship from game developers and higher prices for consumers. Thanks for playing, though.

So you don't care about women with actual problems?
-
Well that's an easy one to answer, I am a SJW and I definitely care about how women are treated
Sorry, but you need hard evidence that SJWs care about how women are treated. Like time slips from your local battered women's shelter, receipts of charitable donations to said shelter, photos of SJWs in Syria killing members of ISIS and freeing the women they've enslaved, etc. Your word that SJWs care about the treatment of women really is not good enough.
-
The only people who are misogynists are SJWs. And, it applies to ALL of them.
Volo what worries me the most about that statement is not how fatuous and unrealistic it sounds but rather if you actually believe it...
It would demonstrate you are suffering from a form of dementia and that would personally really worry me
Here's an idea, instead of hurling random ad hominems; prove that all SJWs actually care about women.
To help you get started here is a popular "feminist" warning about the evils of Christmas music:
White March Part 2 officially announced, coming January

This game doesn't need story mode, it just needs combat damage to stop being nerfed. RTwP combat isn't that good to begin with and making it last longer by nerfing combat damage was just dumb.
