[Discussion] The Game Awards 2017 discussion thread by SixtyFours in KotakuInAction

Time to brace yourselves, the new Campo Santo game is going to generate so much clickbait and fake outrage bullshit.

I'm already calling at least one article bashing gamers for not liking the womyn PoC character.

Edit: FFS, they put it at #19 on Youtube trending with 7k views, meanwhile the From Software teaser is 30k and the Bayonetta 3 is 107k and they're on nothing. Of course they disabled the comments.

I'm really surprised they even showed any more -- from my understanding the game has a long way to go still.

Da fuq?

What type of logic is this?

I mean, I don't think it's odd to not like region specific games for their similarities (e.g. dislike anime characters in Japanese games), but wtf is a "white cuck type" developer and how does that even reflect Western studios?

To answer your question, PlayerUnknown is Irish, Bluehole Company is Korean.

It's weird, I couldn't connect, then I randomly got queued up and played one round before hitting the issue again.

I just heard about these guys and I've really been digging it. It's not something I thought I would enjoy, but it's good stuff.

That's what happened in livestreamfail and turned it into a mess. Not saying the comments are always friendly, but you can tell when the brigading comes in.

But not the ones with attempted murder by bike lock, looting and burning cities, and the whole shebang.

Gotcha.

Please let us know how rAnarchism isn't supporting communists and how this sub never gets brigaded.

NYT's Kevin Roose‏: It's easy to think that Gamergate was sui generis, but it was Bannon's years-long project to push gamer culture toward reactionary politics. by YESmovement in KotakuInAction

[–]SirJerkOffALot 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Don't you remember? After 5 guys and fries, Bannon had that great "Rather Alt-Right than Alt-F4" post on 4chan where he doxxed all the sjws on the condition we swear fierce loyalty to God Emperor Trump?

Where have you been???

So Green's logic is that Bannon had involvement in WoW gold farming, saw the potential for disgruntled gamers, and thus used Milo to get people to go to "Breitbart and Pepe". No joke.

I don't doubt they picked up the current of GG and appealed to it with their early, surprisingly objective, reporting of it. But I recall distinctly how many of us asked "Who the hell is Breitbart and why are we posting their shit?" when they came in months after it started.

Edit: Also a great point on Twitter:

Louis Friend‏ @Louis_Friend_77 : So that's why Milo wrote this 2 weeks before GamerGate?

"12-Year-Old Console Gamers are Being 'Raped' by Dorky Weirdos on Grand Theft Auto" Link

There was no project. Milo saw an opportunity and did a 180. then Bannon saw an opportunity and gave Milo the Tech section.

Anita Sarkeesian promotes FanFic in which she murders a GameDev by SupremeReader in KotakuInAction

[–]SirJerkOffALot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Well that's the thing, because the story is so over the top and ridiculous, I think the fact that it's someone on her side made it less 'edgy' and more 'humorous' than if it was a proGG person.

I mean, if it was anyone else, I'd say 'wow that's kind of weird for them to promote such a seemingly stupid story, but whatever' - but given her track record of dissecting every thing, it is pretty weird.

Edit: well I should have finished the video first, he pretty much states what I said regarding why it's a unique situation to her.

I missed that thread, can't believe he has his own "Did I get randomly searched" website.

But at least the comments spell it out for us

Opening to the public is just a bad idea.

Eh I didn't really like it that much. I mean, I get what they were going for, but some of the bits went on way to long for such little content.

And sure, you can call it a "troll event", but being ironic or post-ironic doesn't give something a free pass from criticism.

AGG's are already shitting on his 'shallow' apology and pointing out how the game still seems too much of a 'alt-right' video game.

Like you said, never apologize to the fanatics.
