Also it seems like you need to blow someone to get into the cool stuff.

Most gamedev jobs arent id or Creative Assembly. If you have no connections, you'll probably end up at the studio making the next Warrock.

That seems like a good way to have a drinking problem

ye m8 CA isn't looking so hot right now

???

They've had a string of wildly successful games you sperge

But stormfront tells me theres women in their games now

Worse - there are (entitled and clueless) women in their management.

the fuck is wrong with you?

He probably met women other than his mother or sister. Had you not lived under a rock you would know that women can be complete morons and idiots in management positions as good if not better as men.

What does that have to do with CA?

I mean, I know you're already an incel tier mouthbreather, so at least give me some more ammo

Recently the reviews for Rome II went into net negative on steam, CA made a big deal about it being being because of the changes they made that allowed female leaders to pop up 6 months ago inflaming alt righters and neckbearded gamers. To be fair this is more of the increasingly fashionable scapegoating by devs trying to blame their failures on their customers while also defaming them and frankly lumping in lots of people with perfectly reasonable criticism with literal nazis and misogynists with the express intent of sidlining legitimate criticism. While I am by no means either of those things even I'm growing concerned by the trend I'm seeing if only because it makes it easier for those types to sound legitimate to people that otherwise wouldn't ever listen to them.

But that's exactly why it happened.

"perfectly reasonable criticism" for who? because you somehow manage to agree? yeah no

Poland can't function on its own and needs to be returned to communism.

I'm not going to say people don't make some shitty games, but Rome II really isn't that bad. idk, I've played a lot of games and a lot of bad ones. Ultimately, people have to realize the gaming industry will follow the money, especially, and I fucking really mean this, now that Epic have cracked the 14 year old girls now play a video game problem. Precious neckbeards who sperg about muh historical accuracy don't actually represent much buying power in the actual grand scheme of things, and you will see more publishers trying to get that sweet teen demographic to play their game.

Expect some ham-fisted abominations from major studios as they blindly grope around trying to figure it out, and some great indie or niche devs catering to realism (because there are already).

R2TW is alright with mods, vanilla was absolute wank compared to previous TW.

Every single TW has had this argument.

Every time i chuckle because either y'all have awful taste and keep getting cheated or are just full of shit and they're just fine.

[rufuske]

Both Shoguns, Medieval 2, Rome and Warhammer are examples of you being wrong 100%.

That's exactly what happened though?



The net-negative review status is 100% caused by recent reviews made years after the game released, it's totally manufactured outrage by the pathetic incels

[XenosisMk4]

Atilla isn't even the right game, how can you say that the reviews are legitimate with a straight face?

[erichkknaar]

idk, I bought the emperor edition, and its been ok. I certainly didn't waste my money with it, if we go back to the old $/h metric.

Maybe people just have no taste.

More likely, 99.9% of people screeching don't actually play the games

No.

Or it's something like this

Time played: 500 hours

"This game is shit"

That would be my Planetside2 experience.

Game is shit, but there's nothing like it

NBS, after using darthmod on Empire and Napoleon TW I couldn't see myself playing without them.

Also R2TW isn't bad. It's not great, but I've enjoyed my time with it and got my moneys worth tbh.

[Meester]

Returned to Planetside 2 recently.

Was not as shit as I thought it would be
