Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear RELEASED
Hurlshort replied to Infinitron's topic in Computer and Console
Geez, can you move the goal posts any further? So If I list a whole list of SJW games released in 2016 not related to BG, that somehow proves my point? Not that I would do that because it's irrelevant to BG. Just like all the games you listed aren't relevant to BG. Yeah, that would be great. Please make a list. Try not to fill it with $2.99 budget titles made with RPGMaker. That would be silly. I was also not responding to you, but rather to Volourn, so I'm not sure what you are in a huff about. -
I'm not entirely convinced Hilary is an expert on email servers. I would hope she would have technical people for those types of things.

Speaking of TV and movies, they have been using focus groups and advance screening to edit out stuff forever. Is that all part of an SJW agenda? -

Does anyone believe they got rid of the cards because of SJW pressure? That is stupid, the new games are even more graphic. They replaced the cards with actual scenes. -

Bioware and Beamdog would seem to be where your list ends. Try to find another developer. It is even harder to find one in Bioware's weight class. Then look at the games that Bioware makes. Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and TOR. Only one of those franchises is clearly pushing this "SJW Nazi agenda" that has you worked up over. -

I guess I should clarify: What unreasonable demands of the "SJW community" have developers given into? Clearly developers are going to look at appealing to a diverse crowd, that is simply about broadening your appeal and market base. But the vast majority of games are still about some guy killing stuff. Top Games of 2016 according to google: Uncharted 4 The Division Doom Dark Souls III No Mans Sky Horizon Zero Dawn Final Fantasy XV Deus Ex Mirror's Edge Hitman Far Cry: Primal The list goes on and on. Which one of those games are trying to shove an SJW agenda down the player's throat? People make such a big deal about this stuff. I think we have better windmills to tilt at, like DLC and the lack of new IP's (which I think actually looks less of an issue this year.) -

Well the KKK also claims to not be racist, so... What the heck are you talking about? Who claimed anything of this sort? -

You also live in a place where "ethnic" violent crime is unusual. Where you live most crime has an economic motive. It's a little bit of a different story when a insular ethnic group begins comitting violent crimes and the police are ordered to back off and let it happen. The order is not in those many words but the outcome is the same. The problem here is that when criminal behavior is not punished and steps are not taken to prevent it from law enforcement which is supposed to be dispassionate it will be done by the "people" who cannot be dispassionate. Then the ugly things like blaming all immigrants for the crimes of a few start to happen. I haven't looked into it much, but are these Sons of Odin types really even forming in communities that have a lot of immigrants or Muslims? I mean, neo-nazi groups tend to form in places that are predominantly white and poor. -

Yeah, but what are your examples of games that push an 'sjw agenda'? This Baldur's Gate game is a niche product, built on the bones of an archaic engine. It barely registers on the landscape of gaming. You might be able to argue that Bioware is all about the sjw agenda, but really it is just the Dragon Age franchise, and it has been like that since the beginning, and it is still filled with violence and sex (just not the kind you might want.) I just don't see evidence that game developers are caving into some sort of SJW agenda. Sure, there are annoying people vocalizing weird complaints on the twitterverse, but that is easy enough to ignore if you just play games and stay away from the silly media. -

So...we do realize that game developers aren't exactly buying into the whole political correctness movement, right? The Witcher 3 didn't exactly sacrifice all the boob action from the first game, and it sold extremely well. You still get to kill all sorts of different types of people in shooters, etc. -

I'm going to Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota this summer, so I'm looking for some good books about the history of the area. I've watched Deadwood, of course, and we are staying a couple nights in that town. We are also staying in Custer, so I might be interested in a good book on him.

Some bad language, although I'm guessing most have seen it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7FawbAJpoQ -
No, the game is about finding cell phones in the snow and piecing together the tapestry of these people's lives as the world crumbled around them. Leveling and loot is a waste of time.

I can relate to this whole 'back in the day' stuff somewhat. I was experiencing that reminiscence a year or two ago, and I was attributing it to the influx of new people from PoE, the GG thread and how it seemed to bleed into everything else, etc. But the reality is everything changes, and if you can't hang with those changes then it is probably time to move on. Just because the forum doesn't meet your needs the way it once did (or the way a previous version did) does not mean it is all bad. Everything changes. -
I probably need to start studying up on 3rd party folks, but it is pretty early.
