It's kind of funny how everyone loves South Park until it makes fun of THEM. Then it is crossing the line and hateful. Lmao.It's 100% real.

They IMMEDIATELY banned all discussion of it when it happened. Didn’t deny it either.

Same. Im a pilot. I work with a trans flight coordinator who is a gamer and is excited about it. She's also the best coordinator I've ever worked with. Her job is done perfectly, properly, and quickly without fail. Its literally a very loud vat of sludge that is screaming. Most trans people just want to go through their lives safely and without being hated. The demands these GRA's online have do not represent most of that community. And that community will openly tell you they don't want to be represented by the REEEEEEEEEEtard section of their community. Those REEEEEEEEEtards then accuse them of being self hating, misguided idiots.

hadn't heard of this one, any more info? Guessing its been scrubbed.
Similar to me, have a good friend who came out as trans. She has been wrestling with the game because she wants to play it but she joined some trans discord recently and has been getting a bit crazier, guessing its due to that group poisoning her mind and what not. Hope she comes out ahead of it because yeah she was/is very normal but some of these online screaming banshees... insane

Pretty much the extremes are loons to the rest of us. Hell, I lean libertarian but the drunk driving libertarians (yes it's a thing) and the sovereign citizen libertarians are just nuts. (Just as looney as the extreme liberal or extreme conservative.)

Resetera and the pedo problem (updates)
Resetera is trying hard to get the screencaps down. Here's an archive with everything until then : https://archive.fo/pfZIj Archive with every screen captures being taken down : https://archive.fo/U9g7Z ---------------------------------------------------- New development : Edit 1 : Here the...
Yeah it was something on this subject that got me the ban back in 2021 - I was called a nazi sympathiser, that I was trying to normalise and advocating the killing of trans people and my hate speech and bigotry was unacceptable, instant perma ban, from what I remember, im pretty sure I didn't even say anything that controversial.
From what I've observed since the fallout of the outrage around the mass departure from this board is that the gaming press, a lot of the developers and industry alongside a lot of toxic gamers have a very narrow view of what they want the world they live in to be and anything outside this is unacceptable. They display faux outrage, virtue signal and play victim at the drop of the hat and it's still a very small LOUD minority of the online conversation that controls and dominates the industry and has them captured with no tolerance for anyone disagreeing with their worldview without attacking and seeking to cancel you, dox you or even destroying your life.
It's actually something that had been around on the internet chat rooms/forums and online gaming world from the start back in the 1990's back on usenet, irc etc before even the Chan's and we'll before gamergate was a thing, but this has infected all aspects of reality around us as time has passed and taken over in recent years
Anyway glad to be back and more active on neogaf, now bring on Feb 7th (or if you are on Xbox and switch your console to New Zealand I believe it unlocks a considerable amount earlier)
Wow, I had no idea, sick

Refunded dead space remake because I had issues with the controls on my PC. Bought this game, haven't looked at any real gameplay but excited to experience it with little to no knowledge of the game. Also I bought this game in the name of science.

There are identifiers as to the sanity of a community. For instance if saying "I'm buying Hogwarts Legacy" immediately grants you a ban then that means that community is insane among many other things.
Why people continue to engage with these types of people is beyond me. We've really blurred the lines so much between what is objectively terrible and then just finding things to be offended by so we can continue to have this false sense of morality.
People can't keep up with the ever growing list of things that are bigoted,racist,homophobic,transphobic,antisemitic, etc. I hope these people who push this nonsense enjoy the slowly dwindling amount of power they have cause there is going to be a huge backlash soon and I for one can't wait.

When I posted this link in the review thread I had only just started watching it, they cover era and their blanket ban on discussing the game
Funny video. Era has become a fringe group, a trans activist forum with the discussion of the occasional game.

I don't care how popular it is or how much it sells. There are 2 billion Muslims on the planet but that doesn't mean I'm going to Mecca.
It’s funny how video game nerds consistently downplay how popular Harry Potter is as a franchise. Of course though it’s not as good as some shitty niche JRPG that I play lol

So the ps5 version of this game is currently 4th on amazon UK bestsellers 2023.
To put this into context pokemon was 7th for 2022, fifa was 9th, god of war ragnarok was 11th elden ring was 29th.
This game is 4th and it hasn't even released yet...
Yeah I really think this could be modern warfare, gta5 level of sales

looks like its #8 here in the US, but thats only because giftcards and a PS5 bundle are above it. So for actual games it is #1, wild

Of course it is going to have success. Think of how popular Harry Potter is, it is the best selling book series all time.
Everyone I know wants this game, even people who don't game. The boycott doesn't apply to 99% of the world, it is just the crazies.
Most people don't know or care about the "transphobia" issue. And those who do can't decipher how she is transphobic, because let's be honest there is no evidence she even is. Go ask the average person what a TERF is? I am guessing 98% of people can't tell you what it means, even if they look it up.
This may be one of the best selling games ever if it gets even decent reviews.

Extremists are a plague. If you go too far to the left, you end up on the right and vice versa. It's all the same totalitarian trash.

You just know someone if going to go through the members accounts of played games lists on Steam/PSN to name and shame all the traitors playing the game.

Well didn't this place use to be like Resetera until the great split? I remember people on other message boards derided this place as an insane place. So be glad those loonies are at another place and the new version of this board can talk about video games and have mature discussions.

Resetera is the tumor that was killing neogaf.

The weird thing is people on Resetera do have mature game related discussions. There are definitely a lot of real gamers there, but anything related to politics, race, and gender they're awful about.
Before I discovered NeoGaf I used to lurk there and had no idea of their reputation, however things started getting my attention until I realized what a cesspool of sjw insanity it really is there.

Just got done reading some article about the game from Games Radar ...didn't know they were a pathetically woke outlet but now I do. It was an article supporting sites that ban discussion of Hogwarts Legacy and they had to add how awful and bigoted Rowling is at the end.
They'll still review it though. Hypocrites. They'll still buy it, review it, downplay how good it is and make sure to talk about how evil Rowling is I'm sure.

Makes me want to create an account just to make a post about how unfair it is for Trans athletes to compete against people of the opposite biological sex.

Basically just waiting for Monday to pull the trigger on Steam. Seeing Steam Deck verification is pushing me that much closer. And I'm not expecting rave reviews either given the world and honestly, it could be a 5/10 but you can't trust all the reviews with the stupidity involved with the woke/triggered crowd.

Already seeing lots of cope coming from overly WOKE friends of friends, some "well it doesnt even look that good!! looks so dated!!! why does it have combat like that anyway???" type posts lol. Monday is going to be a rough day for these types.

Definitely not gta5 level of sales, that game hit 170m sales recently, I think this game will sell 5 million in 1 month and 15 million this year.

where's cheapest place to buy for ps5?
Have been around too long on gaming boards, from the Dreamcast technical boards ahead of the Japanese launch onwards and the early gaming-age forums prior to the morph into neogaf.
I can honestly say I have never seen any discussion on era following the split that had both mature and educated technical discussions that mostly understood the bleeding edge gameplay and graphics that was discussed.
The members ranged from hardcore gaming geeks (yep I used to consider myself one of those at one point) through to the coders/hackers, industry insiders, press and experienced developers that used to post on neogaf In it's prime and aside from bans for obvious drive by low-level system-wars trolling or explicit swearing I don't remember that many bans,
I've NEVER seen memes since that time that lived up to the quality and sophistication of the classics that came from those days either.. perhaps hogwarts will bring them back
