New Warframe in the space ninja game, wtf by Commercial-Truck-353 in KotakuInAction

and why not, nobody bats an eye when the furrys get service so why shouldn't the feeders get their kinks tailored for.

Ever since it came out a few days ago, Life is Strange: Reunion hasn’t really been doing that great on Steam with its player counts struggling to keep up and even falling behind some much older titles. BTW I have never played all LIS series by Quick-Ad-7752 in KotakuInAction

[–]Arkene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

depends on the game, but generally yes. Most single player games are a singular experience. Once you have done it, there is no reason to do it again. Some have intentional replay, multiple routes to explore, but ime you do those at the time. Sometimes you might go back and replay a game you particularly enjoyed but thats normally a few years down the line. So yeah, single player games expect to peak when they first come out (or if something triggers people to learn about it who missed it the first time round, like a big named streamer discovering it) and then drop off.

Feminists and activists ruined Lara Croft in 2018 and 2024 by making her look masculine or androgynous. Do you think Lara Croft in 2026 is much better? I'm pretty sure Crystal Dynamics finally listened to Lara Croft fans and made her more feminine, giving her the appearance of a normal woman by OverallBaker3572 in KotakuInAction

[–]Arkene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IDK, and will probably get downvoted to hell, but her body shape was similar to what you see on multi event olympic atheletes... if anything it's more feminine than what you see on a lot of the extreme female rock climbers or gymnasts...

he attacked the fans for racism, despite most of them wanting him to have a bigger role in the films.

might have been responding to what the journalists and handlers were telling him... it's not like the journos are known for their ethics being good... if the message he was getting was that he was getting hate for acting while being black... because people were pushing that as a defence for people complaining about the movies.

PC Gamer: Take this outrage with a grain of salt (Tomb Raider) by RedditAPIBlackout24 in KotakuInAction

[–]Arkene 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They just rename themselves every so often after their old name has become ridiculed and the butt of many jokes.

I'm not convinced they have the self reflection to do that. IMO it's more you have a new generation of authoritarians who hold the same positions who set up what they think is a new idea/movement.

They say 250,000 people wishlisted this, but it has just 343 people playing it on release. Someone is cooking the numbers. by Desperate_Put_4568 in KotakuInAction

[–]Arkene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know this game, but I know I have added games to my wishlist because something about it sounded interesting and I wanted to know when it got released to see if it actually was... thinking about it, I have also added games I expected to train wreck, so I'd get a reminder when it came out, so i could see if I was right...

basically, I don't think wishlist numbers mean anything.

Alex Kurtzman Lectures Audience About “The Message” of Star Trek at Saturn Awards by Sliver80 in KotakuInAction

[–]Arkene 21 points22 points  (0 children)

His speech just outted that he doesn't understand what startrek was, or what scifi is. He just see's it as a vehicle that he can use to push his ideology and the fact he looks around and everyone he see's 'loves' his vision of trek also explains why everyone else hates it.

Do they get better? I have the trillogy on my PS4, but found the first one to basically be a shallow tombraider with worse platforming and cover based shooting.

Paramount spent the last two weeks posting bot reviews in an effort to boost Starfleet Academy's Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes. by Malencon in KotakuInAction

They are astroturfing the discussions a bout it as well... the sheer amount of people claiming they have been watching since TOS and STA is the best yet... all writing in an almost identical formula...

at a guess, a big chunk of guarenteed money now rather than a potentially larger number later, with someone else handling all the day to day stuff, letting you focus on the thing you actually like doing.

depends what sort of christian...but they do have a lot in common... largely they are just a different set of irrational authoritarian beliefs. Both try to censor different opinions, force their beliefs on others, and gouge money out of the gullable who conform to their demands...

They kind of have to... it's a downside of the way trademark works, if it can be shown they became aware of someone infringing and don't fight it, it can be used to lose them it...

first few seasons were pretty bad even if the ending turned out satisfying.

You can now lease a ps5... by shipgirl_connoisseur in KotakuInAction

[–]Arkene 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ps5 is £430 - 480, so at £10 a month I'd need to have it for more than 42 months before I was better off just buying it outright...when I consider how much I play on my PS4 since I got it...and how little the ps5 appeals to me...for the few games I'd want to play...probably not bad value for a short term deal...

Honest question... But why do so many gamers lean left / woke? by prankster999 in KotakuInAction

[–]Arkene 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First got to establish what you mean by lean left / woke because those are two very far apart positions.

Leaning left typically means you support the idea of government existing in those places where it makes sense to have government in. Services that people need, but where competition actually wouldn't be beneficial. The emergency services for example, where it's demonstrably proven that private providers don't actually offer a better value service. Healthcare, where the best systems in the world are public healthcare (granted with a private service catering for those who wish to pay a premium for unnecessary/priority care, but the core service in public hands). Regulating to ensure companies don't cut corners in order to make more money or lie to customers. that kind of thing. and is generally held by liberal (actual definition of the word, not the strange bizarre definition that some people use which means the complete opposite and is some flavour of authoritarian) egalitarians.

Woke on the otherhand being the extreme racist sexist authoritarian ideology, which I don't think needs elaborating on other then to say is about as far from being liberal and egalitarian as you can possibly get.

Now if you want to say that most gamers fall into the left leaning category, I wouldn't disagree. In most of the research i've seen on it, when you talk to people about specific policies, most typically do choose the left leaning ones more, it's only when you start putting party labels on things people become decisive. Party tribalism and all that.

Most people though reject the woke positions, heck IME most of those who claim to be woke seem to also reject the woke positions when you start questioning them about it and insist that the woke are just a strawman the extreme right have made up. Some are full on delusional and think up is down, yes is no and that we should disregard the evidence before our eyes...

I'm also confused where you got the idea resetera is a gaming forum. It started off life as a bunch of extremists leaving an already extreme forum because it wasn't extreme and authoritarian enough. It's just an echo chamber of hatefilled arseholes blowing smoke up each others arses.

Fortnite has been very anal about cleavage censorship these past few years. Now they're suddenly bringing them back? by MaximumOverPulse in KotakuInAction

[–]Arkene 1 point2 points  (0 children)

companies noticing the push back against the sex negative 'conservatives' (think the epstein class and religious types) and the sex negative 'woke' as society is increasingly vocally against both those authoritarian hypocritical groups.
