People saw a framed Ben garrison or some other right wing politician comic in the background of one of his vids like 3 years ago and have extrapolated that he's a huge chud ever since. Even tho I think he lives/lived with his parents so it was probably theirs?

I feel like there are or were dozens of young teen white boys in ill-fitting suits with that same haircut on youtube who are chuds. I had him confused with a tween from the gamergate times who has since grown into a large lumpy man. No argument about this kid, but the signifiers might be accidental.

SpiritualDeath posted:The last time I watched any MrEnter was several years ago, and considering back then I was even dumber than I am now, the fact that I still thought his videos were annoying garbage should say something. He just seemed like the endgame of the 'rage' critic brand, where every video is a recitation of a cartoon plot with various ways to say "this doesn't make any sense this animation is gross these characters are such bad people" every 10 seconds, and basically no levity or variety of perspectives/angles. Also his enunciation made him sound like an 8-year-old, which was pathetic and unbearable to listen to. Surprised anyone on this forum would give him the light of day (I know it was only a couple people but still)--has he improved significantly in the last few years or something? As far as his media criticism goes, it has definitely improved. It's still not great media criticism (it's good enough for background noise for me), but he's definitely chilled out and is less liable to fly off the handle attacking creators for slightly annoying him. He's also clearly been trying to branch out from being pigeonholed as the "shouty guy who reviews western animation," for example he recently did a series of videos on the different social media companies (which I did not watch because I suspect he doesn't know enough about them to avoid sticking his foot in his mouth), so at least he's not stagnating like the Nostalgia Critic.

Dapper_Swindler posted:everything is political on an academic level on some level. i do think some of the arguments are misunderstandings and bad explanations of how it works but there is alot of bad faith dumbasses chud types muddying the waters too. i think alot of people view politics only as a partisan thing instead of say a sociological/academic thing. game pr types also view it probably as the former plus they have to sell to as many as possible. its part of the reason why you get the ubisoft type quotes from big companies/AA companies even when the games are political and such. Your definition of it is what makes me more accepting of the notion. I can see how in an academic sense or environment, there would be a study of politics in a piece of art. Where I still sort of push against the notion, though, is with the argument that not everyone engages with art on that level, and not every work is trying to make a political point. On top of that, one's own biases or interpretation I think are a factor. Five different people could view some piece of art, and each might find a completely different message or idea, and none of them might be anything to do with what the original artist intended (if they intended anything at all). I think in a lot of cases, when people say, "I don't want politics in games", they don't mean in the sense of 'i'm a bigot and blah blah blah' (some do, but not all). I think it's because people are sick to death of politics in the world as it is, and they look to games and movies as an escape from it. Sure you could probably write a whole Twitter thread on, "Here's how Skyrim is like the Trump administration", and there might be a few valid points in it...but you don't have to do that. You don't need to tie everything in entertainment to the current political climate or ongoing social issues. As far as games striving to be political, I feel like games like Bioshock Infinite, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, and The Division have demonstrated that doing that kind of thing is like playing with fire, and when they fumble it, they get burned pretty badly. What I'm trying to get across is that while it's valid to say that art is political, not everyone wants to have an academic discussion about it, and belaboring the point just brews trouble, and makes people unhappy and upset. As it is now, the kind of people who go "  Oh, all art is political, and if you're denying it, then you just did a politics" need to get slapped hard upside the head.

At the same time, I think it's just bubbling up because people and companies are being idiots about "not being political." Like Ubisoft trying to insist that its games aren't political. And making a game all about a hardcore religious militia and various other backwoods militias and making the story the blandest possible mess because they didn't want to be political. And a lot of times "not wanting a political game/show/movie" just means that they do want a political thing, just one that supports the status quo or their cultural politics. A game that features hero cops isn't going to be criticized as a political game, for example.

I was at e3 this year and talked to one of the PR people for a while in line for a game demo. she basically said that their whole idea is "present everything and let the player come to their own conclusions" which isn't bad answer and she admitted they have been bad at getting messages out. i will say, the narrative quest director person who was demoing watch dogs legion for us was pretty open that it was political, though she says they heightened a bunch of stuff. i feel like publishers and devs are trying to word stuff better, but your never gonna please everyone, as i have said it other threads, i saw RPS lie out its rear end about the cyberpunk demo(because i saw the same loving demo), so they could act super offended by the game and get clicks. and no it wasnt the advertisement thing, which was dumb and problematic.

Mostly it's a pain when it's leaking into development. To be fair, Ubisoft may be learning this lesson and it does seem like they'll let that new Watchdogs do its own thing. Maybe. I'm happy to hear that they're going with that angle in demos though. I didn't play The Division 2, because I don't think it's quite my kind of game, but while they were more openly political you still had the issue where the Antifa equivalent existed as a mindless group of anarchy thugs to fight in game, from what I understand. They could have been a non-existent, beaten, NPC faction that was just in the lore and still fit fine. They left more room in the story for expression and it sounds like they did a better job overall, but when you insist on offering two equal sides you're making a choice, and on top of that it tends to leave the base game bland and disappointing for everyone.

I like Jim Sterlin. But he keeps giving glowing reviews to mediocre games while making them seem awesome and tricking me into buying them. First was children of Morta which was "neat" but grindy as hell and not worth the money it cost. Second was The Outer Worlds which he proclaimed made Bethesdas fallout series redundant. When in reality Outer Worlds is more of a AA version of mass effect 1.

A game that features hero cops isn't going to be criticized as a political game, for example. I suppose, but I think it's still possible for someone to enjoy something that doesn't line up with their personal politics. I think it depends on what you're talking about. Something like Dirty Harry is pretty politically loaded, but something like Spongebob is considerably less so. (I know that's not the best comparison, but you get my point.)

The Division just didn't grab me. I think the only thing I know about it is that the first game had this poor setup with its mission system where players actually had to wait in line to get missions/rewards or something (which, while annoying from a gameplay viewpoint, is amusingly realistic). I do like that idea of leaving things up to the player's conclusions. I haven't seen anything of Watch_Dog Legions, but I really liked Watch_Dogs 2. Again, I think going all in with political stuff is risky, but if it's along the lines of WD2, it might be fine. I know about the whole Cyberpunk ad thing, but what did RPS lie about with the demo? I recall seeing something about that a while back. Max Wilco fucked around with this message at 05:15 on Nov 7, 2019 |

With the Division it was that the tutorial mission giver could only interact with one person at a time, which was somewhat of an oversight in an MMO launch. Players didn't need to wait in line, but organically formed the line themselves rather than taking their chances by crowding the quest npc and hoping to get lucky with clicks.

Personally I think its also about how political issues are implemented in media. A lot has been said about the Nier series, but I don't i've ever seen it knocked it for its subtle political messaging.(humanity's impact on the future, the idea that gender is decided more by expression than anything physical and LGBT stuff, things like that). While I've seen people, who praise Nier, knock other stuff for beating you over the head with the same messages.

Galaxy brain: Japanese devs hide politics under 10 feet of lolis to the point where no one sees it and when someone points out that the lolis are problematic they get called out for bringing politics into an apolitical game. Then they post a developer blog where the developer reminisces over the quality of his loli engineering team that made the finest lolis ever created in his career. And one specific loli was the result of 6 months of loli artisanship. Followed by a picture of him in his office with 10 loli plastic figures and a loli poster.

gamers will think that any mention of anything political is beating the player over the head so lol And I think that the subsection of gamers that don't like games being political is because real-life is political enough is a very small subsection (I've been that guy occasionally).
