Getting a feeling that GOG staff themselves are now triggered. Getting a support ticket unrelated to anything I opened, myself, complaining about a very old review I wrote about the butchered re-release of Sam and Max game being butchered garbage.

Wouldn't be the first time I triggered a GOG staff member, One even threatened a permaban against me, simply for saying GOG curation was woke in the past. When words trigger people that much, you really gotta have a screw loose.

Don't get why they're contacting me in the first place seeing as they remove reviews that trigger them normally anyway, they did so in the past.

I don't mind if people disagree with what I say, what's disturbing here is people don't seem to like the free speech aspect and want that right taken away from others, yes I'm aware of the clauses of not advocating violence in 'free speech' ect. different opinions and respecting others is one of the pillars of democracy. Add to this it all happened within less then five minutes.

Simply because it is a game doesn't mean it has to lean on the realm of fiction completely. Hence, why battlefield V was hated so much was its overly injecting of woke propaganda.

Like you said, if I don't like a thing I don't buy it, and I will do so, but that doesn't mean freedom of speech should be oppressed because you don't share the same viewpoints on things.

There are games that are close to reality, games like Hell let loose or Rising storm Vietnam 2. I would just like to see more games that try to be accurate to things and not push some sort of ideological tokenism.

There is a reason why western comics are going down the drain and anime is skyrocketing at the moment. All because the Japanese aren't enforcing a political agenda and are more concern of making the content entertaining.
But then even that market is getting corrupted at the moment with woke westerners making up shit in their translation or cutting out whole armies of text cause it triggered the translator/localizer.

One author already admitted why the comic industry in the west is doing this. They get paid regardless of the comic failing, because they will be subsidized anyway with taxpayers money.

At what point would you say you have an option when everything is now turning into pandering garbage?

I'll leave it at this, because I do track the market and the progression of insanity a lot, and could go on for hours.
I agree with you 100% on this one.

Only through disagreement can we better ourselves and look at our fault. (if there are any) depending on who is accurate, that is. But people seem to not even cope with the concept of starting a debate about certain topics, or else they feel the need to get you shut down.

It all basically comes down to, Me: "I want an historical accurate game!" and the rest: "shut up you bigot, how dare you ask for something accurate"

NPC morality seems to reign supreme these days. Most of these people seem to be shut out of reality that not everybody agrees with them all the time, or they have such a bloated ego that they think they are always right.

Oh, I completely agree with you here.
I wish things were different in the gaming industry (and not only). The currents are ever changing during these times, I'd appreciate more stability. With that being said, I try to adjust to the times, to the best of my abilities. Still, that's not to say I will put up with everything the devs/publishers throw our way.

because not much to be shown about gameplay?
it's the third serie and Expedition has always be about turn-based squad battle.

although after reading the description I was imagining they added some new features (camp building, resource management).

Right, that still could be an issue.
We'll see in January.

Never played Mount & Blade, although I got it here (in 2017 according to my orders). I've been in and out of gaming these past years. Would you recommend it?

I didn't see any gameplay in the trailer, and the game description is very vague. And they want people to preorder?

I haven't played it but I've heard that Expeditions is somewhat similar. Mount & Blade looks interesting so I may give it a whirl.

I'm a different person, but I'd wholeheartedly recommend Warband. If you're into historical motifs, Viking Conquest is good if a paid mod, and the free mod Brytenwalda is superb. Not easy, but solid.

Appreciate the input.

They also weakened the Expedition part, with its ressource management etc., and I suppose that will be even more the case with this Roman setting. Kind of sad, you could have done other settings which would have fit well with the original concept, e.g. a game based on Xenophon's Anabasis, where you have to successfully move your Greek mercenaries through hostile territory.

No - YOU'RE the one who was triggered by the fact that there's (God fobid!) a black guy in a fake game - do you care that the spears are 7.6 cubits instead of the historically accurate 8.2 cubits?

No, because you're a racist fucktard.

Seriously if Tolkien wrote Lord of the Rings today you and you ilk would be triggered by that too:

"Tolkien is so *woke*! Can you believe he had a subhuman primative Hobbit save the world? Everyone knows it's noble Numenorean Man-Gods who save Middle Earth EVERY TIME - with nothing more than their throbbing Monotheistic heterosexual phallus."

Fuck you, call these bigots out for what they are.


Also, sorry THQ - I LOVE these games and can't wait to play - it sucks that it took two posts for a triggered racist snowflake manchild to take over this thread.

Actually Tolkien is often accused of racism by progressives nowadays, because the heroes in LotR are Nordic and Anglo-Saxon types, while the swarthy Southerners and the Easterlings are allied with Mordor.

Triggered, says the person who couldn't name anything factual. And yes, it does matter when it's supposed to be a historical game or else they should market it as a fantasy world. Or Rome, the alternate fictional universe.

I know you people need pandering in games cause the historical facts trigger you, but most of us history lovers don't need a distorted version so that people can pander and uphold your diversity flag for your ego or brownie points.

If Tolkien wrote his books today, they be assaulted by nut jobs like you for making the cast too white.

Tolkien made his Lord of the Rings series because he felt that Britain had no real mythological background, unlike the Norse gods and Greece, who had built up this fantasy notion of something great.

Don't worry, you'll love Amazon's pandering version with a black or gay Gandalf for the sake of being woke.
It already received hate from actual fans, they hate how they will make the Amazon series nothing more than pandering garbage.

Yes... let's call people like me out for what they are, based in reality. You call people like me bigots because they trigger your fantasy notion of this world. Your racist card doesn't really work when facts are involved, and you have shown nothing more than that you are one of those mentally ill screaming banshees.

You're probably going to scream and throw certain words, like most of you banshees do with zero facts.
Tolkien used British culture as the basis for his books. Hence, why Peter Jackson didn't pander and kept it in the spirit of Tolkien. Amazon also couldn't get the rights to the main series with their upcoming pandering version of Lord of the Rings, and only got the parts that Tolkien didn't get to finish in his lifetime.

If I recall, he didn't base any of his character on any other cultures. Like you said, Most consider him a racist for not including any other races in his books and for them being depicted as white.

Tolkien felt that Britain needed its own Mythology as a backbone to its culture, like the Nordic people and the Greeks.

Lovecraft must surely trigger that other guy.
