Avowed makes me worry about future releases from Xbox.

Yakuza has always been eccentric/overly kabuki dramatic especially with some "hard gay" elements or characters. That's part of their charm where one moment it takes itself serious as it should, and another moment it goes over the top, but western NuMarxist retard ideology it is not.

Here's some Western gay purple porn .

Because Fable looks like bland, woke slop.

The Perfect Dark gameplay reveal looked great. I'm in for an immersive sim a la Deux Ex HR with a Perfect Dark coat of paint.
Imagine thinking than perfect dark is not gonna be woke slop when the jawline on joanna has enough meat on it to defeat starvation in africa for 2 weeks...

At least the fable chick looking ugly can be explained with the british\on the nose humor and fable characters always looking kinda ugly, also i think you can create your character...

You can create your character in Avowed too. Doesn't make a difference. Fable looks like trash from everything I've seen so far.
I see you didn't had anything to say to counter about pd probably being woke aswell, it is better to have appropriate expectations with games from sony and M nowadays.

I haven't really seen anything from Fable. Just a person walking around. I wont say it looks like trash it actually looks good but I need way more than an avatar walking around to make any judgement on a game. At the very least I need to see some combat.

I didn't feel the need to counter it. The jury is out on how woke Perfect Dark is. I've expressed my concerns about that before. I think Joanna looks fine.

The jury is in the same position with fable so i don't know why you think one is more woke than the other when the only woke thing in both trailers are the ugly protagonist, but one is played in a cheeky, umoristic way while pd is dead serious, one has a fixed protagonist, the other doesn't.

Johanna look terrible to me, sorry.

The trailers for Fable look like a generic Netflix or Amazon production. Take a fantasy IP and add modern day diversity. I'm not interested.

Cool. Don't care.

You barely saw any gameplay of fable but ok.

What kinda of forced diversity did you saw? The black dude narrating in the first trailer? This is not realistic 1400 bohemia.

Did i completely forgot some egregious woke element in the last trailer other than the protagonist?

Maybe I'll change my mind when we get more details and gameplay footage. Until then I can only judge what we've seen. Plus, after Forza Horizon 5 my faith in Playground's writing and creative decisions has been diminished.

Oh ok you also have an external reason because you didn't liked their past games, i can understand.
I thought forza horizon 3\4 were the shit (from reviews and people praising them) but i don't play racing games so i can't be sure.

you hope you can create your own character. Has that been confirmed or just speculation? And its not with the Fable franchise to do this. I only played the first and it did not have it. From what I see about the frachise as a whole according to google:

"Despite its focus on freedom and personalization, the Fable franchise has never allowed for complete, traditional character customization, at least not in the same way as most western RPGs."

So ugly masculine dude you will be.
People want the game so much they deny reality. The reality that Microsoft is more woke than Sony. And how could they not be, they are headquartered in Seattle Washington.

"More than 98% of employees have completed required D&I learning courses on allyship, covering, privilege, and unconscious bias in the workplace. We've also made these publicly available as part of our efforts to share best practices with the industry."
-why?

This goes into what M$ has done since 2020 - https://www.cspicenter.com/p/what-diversity-and-inclusion-means

Just saying fable is probably not going to recover.
I don't even know if TES 6 will do good in this environment, we shall see.

That's why i said "i think".

I'm not denying any reality, we know shit about the game, we don't even know if the chick is the actual model you get if you chose a female body or not, also, in the past fable you could at least change haircut, beard etc. So you sre probably gonna have some control on how your character look.

Since i'm gonna play as a dude, i don't really give a fuck if my character is ugly, fable has never been serious and never had beatiful, sexy characters.
Also, i'm not enough of a delicate flower to not play a game just because the protagonist is ugly, i can notice that and joke about it, but completely avoiding a game because of that? Completely retarded if you ask me.

Personally, I'm a bit turned off by the art style. A bunch of characters are blue, and other odd color choices, and seem to have trees sticking out of their heads? I was initially going to try it anyway, but the lack of a disc release sealed it for me.

The combat is...ok...it feels like skyrim but more responsive. Some battles can get really hectic, which I like. The balance seems to be a bit off as you progress. Like there's not enough resources to upgrade and I fully completed the first map. Maybe it's my build, I dunno. The uniques are pretty good as well.

I just hate this aesthetic. The game starts to show it's woke tendencies the further you go. It's part of the story which I guess is fine...I don't really mind. The devs really didn't waste anytime though.

I mean Parvati, arguably the only somewhat attractive character in the Outer Worlds was lesbian. So this is kinda par for the course at this point.

An asexual lesbian whose whole companion quest was about helping her embrace her stunning and brave self + ask a woman on a date. And the game tried sooooooo so hard to make you like Parvati. She’s like the only decent and sympathetic person in the game, while everyone else is some soulless corporate automaton or detestable rich sociopath.

She’s similar to Taash in a way. Like she’s someone’s self insert Mary Sue character who’s obviously there to portray some “marginalized” identity in the most positive possible way. (Is Ashly Burch an asexual lesbian? That would explain a lot)
 
It's not just MS. A lot of AAA games now feel safe and sanitized( as if they are afraid of offending anyone and everyone, so they are as inoffensive as possible). It's like they are polished using vaseline but that vaseline has already been used by the whole office to fix their dry ass cracks. As long as budgets and costs continue to balloon out, a lot of AAA games will continue to suck

Yeah its like if someone would take the movement and combat, but then create a world+atmosphere that wasnt so... ew then youd have a solid game.

Colors are bit washed out too.

I mean, should I just start a youtube channel at this point? Watch from the timestamp to about 9 min (3 min or so total)
