Anthem and the Male Ego

MEA got one content update and it was literally to make the game gayer. I’m still in awe of that whenever I remember.

As the title remarks, a game being good or shit is totally irrelevant. The propaganda is the only thing that matters.

>Before BioWare even thinks about expanding out the story of Anthem, it should really consider looking at the failings of the base game's narrative and of the instances of male ego that drives the story forward – toxic masculinity which ultimately works to the detriment of the story's core development and resolution.

I still don't understand why bioware bothers including males on its games.

what

For the gays.

They still need to sell games, bro. Remember they're owned by EA.

Bioware was one of the ones that started this trend. Good to see that it is finally backfiring on them.

Devs should really stop apologizing to these fags and just ignore them. They're gonna get pissed by something one way or the other anyway

thats rit, priorities first!

this, desu.

I need more details
Whats wrong in the story this people are going on about

Male characters motives and egos bring the story down with their pride and masculinity.

What do they actually want?
What sort of game are they looking for?

What do they want EA to spend millions developing?

There's male ego in this game?

Before anthem receives DLC, bioware needs to sell a copy of anthem.

this game is going to get a DLC?! I thought it was so bad it crashed and burned like bioware's future

lol the left is full of fucken idiots. More proof. you SJWs need to kill yourselves.

Complaining about the male ego when the core of game is trash. This is like complaining about how your car has a broken cd player while the engine is on fire

This is why SJW pandering is terrible- no matter what you do, they will find something new to tear into you about. Stop pandering to people who inherently hate your game.

More details
I could write a scene about two men arguing over their dogs that fits that criteria

They want destiny and warframe but don't want to put the actual effort in.

Have sex

When you don't denigrate and make all dialogue about how repulsive a male, that's male ego.

Those games are full of male ego
What they want is a gay sex simulator

to be fair that bouquet is pretty pathetic

Why do journalists think that companies "need" to do what they think they should do?
Should not journalists be reporting facts? Or do they even hide anymore than the goal is manipulation?

Can someone actually archive.is the fucking article, I'm not gonna shitpost about this without knowing what I'm shitposting about, that could be so many things.

The delusion is real.

The chink should be happy she's getting anything fucking stuck up bitch.
Imagine if this was the other way round and she was bringing him a sandwich, SJWs would get the get pulled.

it's okay femanon
you can just admit you haven't played the game

Why would I play such a toxic game?
Video games are for kids anyway.

He's better-looking than she is.

>femanon
Hate to break it to you but that's a tranny

A lot of them actualy do kill themselves

And yet you're here

This pretty much sums it up. They're just pointing fingers at anything in a poor attempt at avoiding the truth; that BioWare is infested with transvestites and gender queer people who can't make games.

Because this thread has been linked on Resetera
I just wanted to see the autistic cancer for myself.

these people are never fucking happy jesus christ we need another fucking war

>Promote women cus we blacklist your game

Anthem is woke and Bioware is mostly Sjw's, so I do not understand.

Is that the nigger version of the okay sign?

Literally they won't be happy unless a game spends over half it's time chastising white males for being evil. They gave them an inch and they expect a mile. Nothing will ever be enough. These people are professional butchers, if they had nothing to bitch about they wouldn't have jobs, they will never admit victory until everything is burned down. And then they'll quickly find stuff to bitch about after that.

I can't wait for the day that mens prostates get removed at birth. Circumcision is too good for you

Anthem has a problem with being a product of a greedy trend following directionless corporation that rushed out a pile of shit game after it floundered in development for six years. Saying its issues are anything besides that is performative wokeness.

You guys are the only ones who still give a shit about this

Delusional tranny

The game is an easy topic. Bioware already has a track record of bending over and grabbing their ankles for the power moves by the SJW's on the internet and if at any point Anthem somehow fixes itself in the future, which could be possible as some kind of redemption story, they want to be able to say the game got better because of inclusive diversity. Everything is a play to acquire power

From your perspective,
Stop being autistic.

That's great and all, but they really do all need to kill themselves.

It caters to its target demographic, oh no.

It's honestly fucked up that they even allow this surgery. It's nowhere near the point where it should be performed on humans. I'm more confused about the people who go through with it, though. Like, you know what would really make you feel like a woman? Having to artificially gape the thing your body thinks is a WOUND for the rest of your fucking life.

new word for toxic masculinity.

Female ego is worse

I dunno, cause like, you can play as a girl, so that eliminates one source? I guess the author is talking about how the Monitor, the antagonist, is the villain, your coworker is ambitious and betrays you and that your buddy Haluk has depression and problems accepting his flaws and impedes your progress because of it

Of course it is they wouldn't be complaining about the male ego if their ego didn't make them think that their ego is superior.

It will absolutely be seen in the same vein as lobotomies are today; a legitimate operation that was unfortunately widely abused as it was simpler, more politically correct choice.

trannies tranniying trannies

Back to retardera with you, tranny.

I seriously hope you don't think this.

Yeah, I'm sure large companies like EA really want to capitalise on the 0.05% of the population that doesn't play video games and has at ~35% suicide rate. Great investment.

Oh wow I'm not even gonna read what they mean by that, clearly from that title they just hate all men.

>Let's start with Haluk. He gets his squad killed because he's too prideful to back down.
>In his first attempt at quelling the Heart of Rage – after watching his squad dying off one-by-one in front of him – he still refuses to leave the battle and regroup.
>he never acknowledges the fact that much of what went wrong is on his shoulders – because of his hubris, his unchecked and untamed male ego.
>His uncontainable self-belief means that we have to endure yet another half-hearted story of self preservation and self-reflection from a male character suffering with an overblown ego.

>Where Haluk's downfall was his pride, Owen struggles to confront his crushing insecurity.
>Ambition is incredibly important, without it, people accomplish very little. You need to know when it's appropriate though.
>He doesn't care, he wants to be the hero, he can't accept that he isn't ready
>Owen doesn't just not learn from this but acts like a child when called out on it.
>He steals the only Javelin that can save the day, joins the bad guys, then gets his face burned off and crawls back. Then, despite literally all of these problems he's caused, still doesn't give you back the Javelin, and just disappears. What an asshole.

>there's The Monitor. The very epitome of a classic villain, and also the epitome of sheer arrogance.
>Now, this isn't unusual in video games, in fact, it's pretty much a cliché. His ego is so over-inflated that he genuinely believes he can control creation itself.

>All three of these characters are one-dimensional ego beasts that run afoul of the most predictable story arcs in recent memory. All because they all represent the exact same flaw. They can't keep their egos in check, and they pay the price as a result.
>The idea that men are so driven by their own ego as to wind up failing because of it is outdated. We can have better characters than this, surely? And if any studio will deliver them, it has to be BioWare.

Wait, so he's saying the game makes sexist stereotypes of men?

>implying this doesn't apply to women

how are those all male exclusive problems? a female warrior could also be too proud to back down, or insecure about being a heroine, or arrogant

But only 20% have srs and 40% kill themselves

It's such a bad place for selfies too. The background just shows the lifeless metal doors, dull grey and the buttons of the elevator. Not a sight that's meant to inspire confidence about your life.

Articles like this existing is the reason I hate this society now. When Halo released, even the last one, you never heard this type of shit. Then, overnight, sjws took over and everything became political. Every faggot had to find some reason to insert their agenda onto a game or anything for that matter. Lets just start again

Then these same people hate on the she-goat, because a character who gets assigned a job they're under-prepared for due to family connections is now "problematic" if its a woman in that role.

So basically it's nothing, another worthless clickbait article

There hasn't been anything worthwhile put out by gaming journalism ever

For the sake of women who pitch a fit at a depiction of an attractive fictional woman, but squee over depictions of fictional attractive men.

If by "obession with the male ego", they mean "tendency to fuck around in pre-production for years at a time and slap together a half-baked, scarcely functional 'game' in eighteen months", then yes. Otherwise, no - before story DLC, BioWare needs to address the fact that the game is a hot mess.

The title alone didn't tip you off to the fact that the writer is talking out of their ass?

they could have talked out their ass and googled anthem once.

Do people actually read gaming journalism nowadays?

Livin' the elevator life.

I never thought anything from last year and this year could be a bigger dumpster fire than 76 but then Anthem came along. I mean at least 76 didn't seem to be steeped in this woke shit. Or was it?

>gamesradar
another one bites the dust

Remember when game journalists defended ME3 saying BioWare didn't have to change their creative vision to satisfy anyone? Fast forward 7 years and they're demanding they rework entire plot lines and themes to satisfy their own whims.

This is why Frank Zappa hated hippies. The far-left is never happy. They're never satisfied, and the second you do or say one thing they slightly dislike they'll nail you to a cross. No matter how many years you spent on your knees sucking their feminine cocks.

They could have, but articles like these are more like creative writing pieces. The game itself is just a prompt they can use to write whatever, and establishing any sort of actual relationship with the game is busywork that doesn't really matter in the end.

Not really. There was an article about some sort of in-game homophobic attack, but it came long after everything else, and by that point, nothing short of Bethesda dragging players out into the street and shooting them could make that mess more than a bad memory in the internet's collective rear-view mirror.

If you read about the history of the bolshevik movement, you'll find that they respected external enemies more than their own who had been deemed to wrongthink. They had a massive obsession for finding traitors, paranoia ran wild in the East Bloc. Nothing pleases a leftie more than ousting a friend who has been found to have wrong thoughts.

Also, in their world an apology means the same as admitting to the crime and is the very last thing to ever do if you end up in their crosshairs. It gives them all the justification they will ever need to flay you as hard as they can. Not too many PR departments have realized that.

Anthem has a shitload of problems and male ego isn't one of them.

Bioware had crossed a threshold when they made a stand on a political agenda, and now they're getting their shit pushed in every time they do ANYTHING

Pro tip: don't fucking cave to any social group or they'll just keep moving the goalpost on every project you ever have.

How ignorant.
WW2 was directly caused by the conclusion of WW1, and whites didn't cause WW1. Blacks did

I don't think the writer really cares, he's just meeting his quota of pumping out clickbait headlines for his site. He probably forgot about it the moment he send it to be published

>"Bioware needs to address its obsession with the male ego"

what the fuck does that even mean?!

exactly this, his actual complaint is that these are cliched character flaws, especially in vidya, but hey why not score some progress points by clapping back or whatever the fuck about 'toxic masculinity', never mind that it was being portrayed negatively in the first place

well, yeah, the good looking guys are for gays and maybe girls

These are not male exclusive character flaws or behaviours and the story is not why Anthem failed.
Anthem failed because it's a shit game.

Didn't a Serbian extremist shoot Franz Ferdinand, prompting a declaration of war from Austria-Hungary on Serbia, which led to their allies and their allies' allies simultaneously declaring war on each other in a giant continental fuckpile?

why yes.

>That one tumblr post about how all boys should literally be castrated before puberty after being shamed by being paraded down the street completely naked

Legally recognized and legislated slavery was started in the middle east THOUSANDS of years before white people had anything to do with it.

So no, you're wrong, brown people started slavery, white people finished it.

slavery has existed, since humans, gathered in any numbers, saying what you said, is as stupid as what he said. Well almost as stupid.

>DLC
but this game isn't getting DLC, at thing point the game might not get any new content at all
Who the fuck wrote this article? No one gives a fuck about the story, the game is a boring technical mess and now it's a ghost town

middle easterners are caucasian genius, more so than snow mongols for example

it's actually a pretty funny story, that one. the assassins had a convoluted plan to kill franz, but it all fell through when franz ended up being in a completely different place than they expected. So the assassins, all dejected and shit, decided to just go hang out at a local cafe while they think things over. But then guess who of all people just so happens to pull up on the other side of the street...

Look at that Warhorse founder who made KCD. The game sold well without caving to SJW bullshit because not surprisingly people just want to play good games.

Bioware did it right in their early days. They had straight and homo options without a bunch of noise. Now devs act like it's a feature.

No one in gaming seems to remember the golden rule of PR.
NEVER respond to outraged people. Never apologize.
Just say nothing about it and everyone will get bored and give up within like a week at most. The second you respond you're giving them positive feedback and attention and that is exactly what they want. So they'll keep tearing into you no matter what you do, in fact your efforts to placate them will do nothing but egg them on and make them go even further to tear you apart.

Just fucking ignore them and they'll move on to whatever the next thing to be pissed off about is. It's that simple.

The fact they're resorting to articles like this means they're dying. Healthy news doesn't need to do this.

I'm saying they're the same shit just different skin tone

No no no.

If a character is arrogant and shitty and a male, they're toxic masculinity.

If they're arrogant and shitty and a female, its problematic and misogynist

If they're cool and competent and a male, its a power fantasy.

If they're cool and competent and a female, its just a guy with boobs.

The point of outrage culture is that there is no way to win.

Which is sad because she actually learns from her mistakes and works to do better, hell even when she was fucking up it wasn't because she was an idiot or an asshole just in over her head and it was endearing that she tried, Mercedes and Dragons Dogma as a whole were way better than it had any right to be

Of course, he makes articles like this to make it seem like he's a saint who is above that kind of behavior, just like religious boy diddlers make angry sermons against homos.
