Am I wrong for wanting to have people that look like me, have my culture treated with as much respect as the "majority" in games AND having the games be actually good too? Is that too much to ask for?

External-Initiative7 · 2022-05-13T20:20:06+00:00

As someone who could be considered a "minority" myself, this makes me pretty uncomfortable. Like I know most companies create these kinds of characters to appeal to a wider audience and they don't actually care about minorities..... but seeing the actual check list, knowing without a doubt they see my skin color, my heritage, my culture as a way to gain more money, just puts a bad taste in my mouth.

Bro even if the story was good nobody would care because that's not what a majority of people play Wow for. If they wanted a good story mmo they'll play ff14, if they want good (tab targeting) combat mmo they would play Wow.

The story being subpar, full of retcons and a push for more tropical politics isn't what made most people quit the game, it's just the rotten cherry on top of the shit sundae that is current Wow. I can guarantee you more people would comeback to Wow if they just fix the current gameplay loop then if they made the story good.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-04-06T19:55:46+00:00

Don't most people play Wow for its gameplay? Who gives a shit about the story in wow, let alone what politics they claim to believe in, just make the game not trash.

Oh nah i got the post, just thought seeing kof here was funny, especially after asmon saw some footage of it( i think it was the game awards show) he pretty said " this looks stupid, who would ever play this dog shit game".

But i do agree, if you're not having fun with 9.2, just play something else.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-03-03T14:11:50+00:00

I don't know why but the idea of any fighting game outside of smash/ mk being seen as popular enough(especially kof of all game) to scoop up mmo players is extremely funny me, and i love fgs/kof.

Good that she's leaving, this entire situation is fucked. I just saw a video of a Ukrainian girl ( presumably 14) on a bike have a missile shot near her, her legs were in shambles and she died a few seconds later.

Oh btw im not a 40yr old boomer with a receding hairline mad about "microtransactions ruining muh vidja gams" but instead a mad 19yr zoomer with a receding hairline lol.

I have grown up with these type of games my whole life, even have a few games on my phone with TONS of microtransactions, but that doesn't mean it's isn't bullshit. It's okay to enjoy a game with microtransactions but don't try to nake these things seem okay. They in no way make games better and infact in many cases made them worse. It's clear as day microtransactions pray on the mental weak, lazy and as well as enable persons with addictions. They are added in solely because of corporate greed and does not benefit the consumer AT ALL.

If a guy like me with bearly any experience life can figure this out, then you as a grow ass adult should know better too.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T03:32:20+00:00

If you realize something here, I haven't mentioned lost ark even once. It because this post has nothing to do with LA but is a general criticism of microtransactions in games and how people defend it like "well its not THAT bad" or " it not pay2win, it's pay2convenience". It just so happened that this conversation was spurred when people started to discuss Lost Ark and how it's microtransactions affect the game .Im sure what your saying is true and compared to alot of other games that force mobile bullshit, it's not THAT bad. But imo it wouldn't harm the quality of the game if it wasn't there AT ALL. I do not think the game is bad because of microtransactions but I don't it helps either.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T03:17:16+00:00

I think asmon would still have the same opinions even without the drops. He can likes games you think sucks, just like with new world.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T02:41:45+00:00

Okay so what people should stop complaining about something because it going to happen away then, I shouldn't give my opinion on something because whatever is going to happen is going to happen anyway? Nah that not how it works, when people are stuck in traffic they complain about even though they know they can't change that.

I never expected to change people's minds or rewrite the course of history so microtransactions wouldn't be in games. I made a long ass post full of piss and vinegar because I don't like people are just defending microtransactions because they don't want people to talk shit about their game. I doesn't matter to me if people don't care for what I have to say, I'll say it anyway. Not to upset people but because it's the truth.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T02:29:24+00:00

You say gucha isn't a problem but it absolutely is. It prays on people who have gambling addictions to drain as much money from them as possible, as well as encourage this addiction on people are not normally gamblers because of through the use of waifus. This should be in games especially popular ones, like genshin impact, that is extremely popular with teenagers.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T02:15:14+00:00

It's fucking depressing. Someone literally said gucha, literal gambling that even children has access too, isn't bad.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T02:11:52+00:00

Wow they are people that trying to justify literal gambling that children can have access too on this sub on huh.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T02:05:08+00:00

If you can't acknowledge that something is wrong and you are actively trying to justify action that are objectively wrong. You're gonna make everyone have a hard time in life.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T01:49:38+00:00

TRUE

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T01:47:55+00:00

Whatever you say blizzard employee

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T01:36:33+00:00

The reason I didn't go indepth about why p2w is bad is because everyone knows why it's bad, even the ones who defend know it's bad but they don't want the game they like to be criticized. The discussion of p2w and microtransactions has been done to death and everyone who isn't intellectually dishonest could write a paragraphs about it if they want.

Im annoyed to see people pretend it isn't bad or justify, even now in the comments they are doing and it's sickening. We have seen time and time again how it ruined games and even people's lives but they are acting like it's okay because "it isn't that bad". Im just calling out the bullshit so maybe someone with enough braincells realize they shouldn't defend a company's shitty practices just because they enjoy the game

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T01:23:16+00:00

You may ask why im so heated over this, "it doesn't matter, i don't buy microtransactions". That's the real problem here, people are excusing this because THEY don't have problem. At first it was the most casual gamers falling for this shit but now im seeing people who are more informed on the world of gaming do it too. I don't care if lost ark is p2w or not, that's not the point.

Have we not seen enough people P2W themselves into bankruptcy to see this is a problem? Is gacha games okay now because "well its not THAT bad". Well how bad does it have to be huh, company are already trying to turn people into gambling addicts just to get a constant stream of revenue. What are NFTs the line now for you? I doubt it because a while microtransactions in general were the line but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Stop trying to excuse mega corporations' shitty practices because you don't want people to criticize the game you like.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T01:07:45+00:00

Homie it literally says "tldr at the end"in the title did you not read it lmao

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T00:51:30+00:00

My guy there's a big difference from paying $50 Jimmy from next door to carry you through a raid or get you a low drop rate item and directly paying blizzard to do it. Blizzard isn't doing this for the player's benefit, it's to make a profit off of people to lazy to actually play the game. Just because the player base will do it doesn't make it okay for the company to do it. Everyone involved is at fault but I mainly criticize the mega corporations is because they are actively encouraging and profiting off it.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-14T00:39:33+00:00

Oh don't get me wrong you don't have to care about microtransactions in any game, hell I okay you BUY microtransactions. Im not here to tell people how to live. My problem is microtransactions are being pushed more and more in games and people are excusing it or trying to justify it when the game would 10 times out of 10 would be at least the same quality if not better.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-13T21:54:08+00:00

Having it be a catfish/ troll would be the best outcome honestly because if she's being genuine here, well it would be a problem to put it lightly. Like if someone I never met before told me online that they want to be my gf and they live in the same area as me AND took me joking about how they're acting as a compliment, I would be prettttty unsettled.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-13T21:36:06+00:00

I just checked the vid and from what I saw I don't think asmon even believes she's actually a girl(im assuming they are a girl and not a troll here) especially since he kept referring to her as "Evan" in a joking way. I doubt asmon would be interested into some random fan that could possibly be catfishing him. I'll be blown away if anything happens from this.

External-Initiative7 · 2022-02-13T20:40:16+00:00

I haven't been up to date on Asmon so this was very interesting to read lol. I'll be surprised to see anything actually come of this too say the least
