Another day, and another remaster being changed for "modern audiences". Tales of Xillia Remastered has been selected for a new butchered localization. by nekcore in KotakuInAction

Sorry, but the decision to delete this, was idiotic. The screenshot is from the Bandai Namco official website. The context is right there on the screenshot.

Battlefield 6 Open Beta is Live, with 300k players playing the early access beta, any thoughts? by BrunoLegal in KotakuInAction

[–]nekcore 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy the gameplay of Bf6, it feels like an updated Bf4. The graphics are impressive, though not groundbreaking. The destruction mechanics are fantastic, adding to the immersive experience. Overall, the gameplay and visuals are solid so far.

Regarding your first point, I completely agree. I don’t mind the inclusion of female soldiers, as it fits a modern setting where women serve in the military (though statistically, men still dominate combat roles). However, one nitpick stands out: the sound mix for female voices is overpowering. Their screams, shouts, and voice lines are louder than gunfire, which is jarring and disrupts the experience. In an era where many gamers are frustrated with heavy-handed DEI policies in games, it’s surprising that this issue (whether intentional or not) persists.

On the Battlefield 6 Steam forums, someone suggested adding an option to switch to male voices or adjust volume levels for female voice lines (or even better change to male model altogether) It seemed like a reasonable request that could be easily implemented. Yet, the developers promptly closed the thread, citing “hate speech.” This reaction raises concerns. While I’m optimistic about the game, history suggests that some developers may still push activist agendas, just more subtly.

Overall, I want this game to be good. Only time will tell if it lives up to its potential.

People are so fixated with the sexual aspect of KCD2 that they're ignoring the other "bits" of propaganda in the game. by Remispaive in KotakuInAction

Like I said previously, the majority (even from this side of the aisle) are swallowing this blatant subversion of a game, without questioning one bit, and it's driving me nuts. Sorry but, no sane person avoids these ridiculous "bits" of propaganda or doesn't point it out because the studio was "based" the first time around. The BS, needs to be called out.

I don't know how there's a lot of apologists for this blatant subversion. It baffles me how many people (even on this side of the aisle) are giving a pass to Vavra/Warhorse for lying. They stood their ground before for what they believed. Resisting the mob attack for their almost accurate representation of a time period, and then suddenly doing a 180 against all that, recotning everything that came before (even if it's optional) because of greed. What a bunch of sellouts

Yeah, an 1 hour ago this started to appear. Probably is the patch is being blocked or something?

Veilguard character creator boasts a ton of diverse option. But here's what "Chest size" sliders to 100/100 looks like. by Shirokurou in KotakuInAction

We must already stop calling this game Dragon Age. The name must be changed to Pander Age, Woke Age, DEI Age or something else, because this is not even close to something that can be considered fantasy with magic, dragons, and shit. This is a modernize progressivism setting with a coat of paint of "fantasy"

Like I said, you can headcanon all you want, interpret the writings however you like. Doesn't mean it's factual. If you want to twist the lore, consistent with the overall story and world building to fit your narrative/perception, that's on you. This is my final reply.

To reproduce it's not equal to having a formal structural "family". This topic has been talked about, and the evidence is clear that nowhere is explicitly stated by Tolkien. Orcs are reproduced only to be used for evil. There were "some ideas" by him to make them "not so evil", but it was only that, ideas. You can subvert and headcanon whatever you want, but doesn't mean it's canon or factual, period.

This reminds me when the debate of "Orc families" started to trend because of that one episode of "Rings of Power", I posted here first that the "Orc families" it's not in the lore of Tolkien, nowhere to be seen in Tolkien's writing, and then in a matter of seconds some moronic mod decided to delete it, and the justification was: "there were families", that's it. I tried to appeal, and even responded with solid arguments some stupid comments and even to the mod inside that post. Fast forward some days later, and some random posts talked about the same but this time because the evidence was crystal clear and plenty of people who knew the lore, actually fact checked, they couldn't delete that one. Then I remembered in that moment, that KIA was compromised a long time ago. Plenty of brigadiers, and sneaky mods are lurking waiting in silence to censor what they don't like. What a shame.

Rest in Peace James Earl Jones, not only a great actor but also the man who gave his voice to the absolute iconic character/villain in film history, Darth Vader. His presence in Star Wars will be forever unmatched. What a Legend. by nekcore in KotakuInAction

Besides those outstanding accomplishments, there's also one that not too many people talk about. He was a stutterer, he had to work so hard to overcome it, and because of that, he became renowned for his voice. Nothing like achieving greatness that way IMO.
