>Leonard Boyarsky: We're all about exploring philosophical themes while having a fun great game experience. We don't ever want it to get too heavy, we don't ever want it to feel like we're lecturing people, or that we are trying to make a very specific point. Uh... We are very, uh... Very, uh... We tried really hard to make sure that no matter what character it is in the game, they feel like they're very realistic and they have very realistic motivations. You know, when you talk to the people on the board, they have a very realistic... or at least understandable outlook. You might not agree with it at all, but it makes sense why they'd think that way, and when they try to recruit you, it's not just like "Come be evil with us", no, it's like "We're doing the right thing for this colony and here's why"
>Jason Schreier: Are you worried about teaching players to be fascist?
>LB: Uuuh... No?
>JS: (Laughs)
>LB: Hmm, I never thought I-
>JS: What if some 13 year old is playing and he's like "You know what, this corporation who wants the control the narrative on this colony really has some good ideas"
>LB: I don'- Well, first of all, they shouldn't be playing if they're 13 because this is gonna be a mature rated game
>JS: Oh, okay, fair enough (laugh) YES! No 13 year olds playing m-rated games, that's for sure.
I hate this idea that developers need to be held responsible for whatever some deranged asshole makes out of their game. Even if The Outer Worlds caused some kid to become a literal Nazi, how is that Boyarsky's fault if he wasn't intending for it to happen? He just wanted to make an entertaining RPG where you get the choice to do whatever you want, including being an evil parody of capitalism taken to 11, and not everyone that has an evil playthrough wants to go around killing children or whatever. How is this kind of logic any different from "We need to stop having violent video games"?
Camden Diaz
Hearing Boyarsky talking about this game makes me think it's gonna end up being great. I just wish it wasn't so uneven. Some of the screenshots look so ugly.

Neither. I'm neutral on this. Venneget is based, True Grit is based, Deadwood is based. Coen Brothers doesn't fit well with sci-fi and Firefly is cringe.
Henry Wilson
I'm an uncultured caved-in head, so whatever
Connor Moore
He also had the entire studio watch Brazil which makes him based as fuck.
Leonard did the world building for Diablo 3. Did anyone play that and how did you liek it?
Samuel Allen
The only reason why people like Firefly is because it got cancelled early.
Camden Jackson
Nothing wrong with it I guess, but Diablo's foundations were already laid and aren't fabulously interesting or original

Leo Anderson
There's no way that's true.
Nathaniel Davis
You have a horrible reading comprehension, my dude. Jason is worried that Leonard Boyarsky lets you side with the corporations at all to begin with. In fact, earlier in the interview he goes "What? What kind of narc would join the board?"

In all seriousness, I don't actually know who I'm gonna side with yet. I'll see how the game presents them and the arguments they make before I make a decision. But I appreciate having the choice to do it from the get-go.
Xavier Sanchez
>rabbi now it all make sense
Luis Lewis
That is what all good RPGs should be about in my honest opinion. Player freedom to do whatever the fuck you want, when you want it. Obsidian struck gold with NV's formula, hopefully they not only re included it but also improved it.
Ian Jackson
The whole flaws idea sounds interesting, but I worry that it's not gonna be executed properly. Most of the debuffs they talk about seem to be way too minor. I do like that there's stuff like "Cripple" and "Drug Addict", but the average one just seems to be "-20% less damage against this one specific enemy type". Even not accounting for the fact it can be easily abused and min-maxed, I'm fearing I'm gonna end up with a god-tier MC by the end of the game anyways. It seems like it's gonna be half-assed.
Jack Rogers
Don't go for a combat build, that'll probably balance things out a bit. If speech is overpowered like it is in NV though then it may be an even bigger breeze to go through. We'll see I guess
Jonathan Rivera
>Joshua "Balanceman" Sawyer >letting things be unbalanced
Jacob Scott
Sawyer is only an advisor in this game, not a lead developer, or even a developer at all.
Austin Perez
I'm surprised he hasn't already. He doesn't even hide the fact that he tries to steal info from them for his articles. He still thinks Bethesda is in the wrong when he managed to get his hands on the script of Fallout 4 and leaked Bethesda's E3 plans.
Asher Bennett
His advice is a spreadsheet showing why the numbers are wrong

Carter Garcia
I suspect the reason why Original Sin 2 is so successful is the co-op shenanigans. It's certainly not the writing or the gameplay.
You want to know the irony of that? 4.5 years is a very exact number, because 4.5 years ago he had an friend steal confidential stuff from Bethesda and published them in a Kotaku article so he could beat all the other journalist sites in discussing Fallout 4. And he believes he's the victim in this scenario.
He literally stole some of Fallout 4's development documentation and openly flaunted it.
Anthony Martinez
Literally the only reason Yea Forums hates Rick and Morty is because of the perceived fanbase (which I have never come across outside of memes and obviously people trolling like that McDonalds video where the guy jumps on the counter and REEEEs). It's just a childrens cartoon, it's not meant to be deep or intelligent.

Of course he is. Him harassing people and manufacturing forced outrage didn't give it away?
Connor Powell
Another half-baked idea seems to be the whole leadership thing. But we'll see how it plays out in execution. Either ways, I have no doubts this is gonna be one of the best games of the year, and certainly the best RPG.
Angel Davis
Ironically enough, you're also offended by people that are easily offended.
Brody Moore
You know, I've never actually looked into who makes my games. I do this weird thing where I just watch gameplay of it, read reviews or pirate it to decide if I'm interested in a game. I don't know how many women or African Americans worked on Baldur's Gate 2, I don't know if anyone was Jewish on the Morrowind team. Maybe one of the guys who made Hollow Knight is gay, who the fuck knows. It really doesn't affect my judgement of those games.
Shen is a trickster god playing mortal for reasons we'll never find out now, and Kulle was right and did absolutely nothing wrong because the eternal conflict is horseshit and should be ended by removing the two main antagonists of it.
Jayden Richardson
Outer world's is dope. Finally a true sequel to fallout 2.
Each attempt Obsidian makes to create their own universe rather than simply deconstruct a setting made by others, has been more disastrous than the last. Aside from the outdated gameplay and lifeless cities, Pillars of Eternity's only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of combat mechanics, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Sawyer vetoed the idea of making anything at all innovative or original; he made sure the game would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable nostalgia pandering to ageing Baldur's Gate fans. Pillars of Eternity might be anti-casual(or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Divinity series in its refusal of spontaneity, fun and excitement.
>a-at least the writing was good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the narrative was terrible. As I played, I noticed that every time I engaged in dialogue with an NPC the game presented me with a Wiki-page style infodump instead of anything resembling actual human conversation.
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time this was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Sawyer's mind is so governed by obsession with pointless minutiae of the lore that he has no other style of writing.
Later I read a lavish, loving review of Pillars of Eternity by the same David Gaider. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kiddies are playing Obsidian games at 17 or 18, then when they get older they will go on to enjoy Dragon Age II." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you play "Pillars of Eternity" you are, in fact, trained to shill for Bioware.
I'm more excited in this being a new setting by the same creators of Fallout than by the idea of this being a spiritual successor of Fallout.
Hudson Hernandez
I beat Diablo 3 in singleplayer on console, I don't remember a single interesting NPC or location from the game. The latter half of the game is boring deserts iirc. Diablo 1 and 2 weren't very interesting from a lore perspective either, but Diablo 3 was just void of anything interesting.
Joseph Howard
>Thinking Boyarsky is retarded cringe
Easton Rivera
I'm just glad it's an RPG with an original setting. Nearly everything is a reboot or set in a shared universe these days. I am looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3 but I also like exploring entirely new settings.
Juan Howard
>It's just a childrens cartoon, it's not meant to be deep or intelligent. Ironically enough, the show can be both at times.
Dominic Howard
Yep. I don't mind sequels so much (although I feel like Fallout has been irreparably ruined and there's no worth in coming back to it at this point) but I'm so sick of licensed bullshit. We don't need to be tied down to tabletop book settings anymore. This industry is bigger than them. Do something original and make it truly your own.
Sebastian Lopez
He is just a hack with connections, he should be blacklisted by every respectable dev and publisher
Without Chris Avallone there's not much hope for this game. POE2 showed us that obsidians backup writers are dogshit. Also the animations they showed off at E3 were worse than some indie games. They clearly have lost talent.
David Anderson
Tim Cain + Leonard Boyarsky > Avellone Go look at the last 10 games Avellone has written for.
Kayden Collins
Lmao and Tim worked on wildstar while Leonard did Diablo 3. These people aren't going to carry your game. We've already seen more than 1h of gameplay and the writing is amateur.
Ryan King
If judge by this dialog he quite is.
David Campbell
>1 hour of writing is indicative of quality in an RPG Ahem Old world blues.
Tim Cain + Leonard Boyarsky combined have a 100% track record. 4 strikes, no misses. If you count the last 10 games either of them made, they're much better than the last 10 games Avellone wrote on. They absolutely are going to carry this game. >The writing is amateur No, it isn't. It seems perfectly in line with Fallout or Arcanum or Bloodlines. Tell me what's different and makes this one stand out as amateurish.
Even knowing he's serious, that questions and the follow up still come off as kind of hilarious.
Anthony Gonzalez
>Fallout 2 Ew no thanks
Julian Wilson
I like that they promised that you can play the factions off against each other while you're neutral.
Joshua Adams
Sounds like a fun independent path.
Caleb Clark
I mean why won't the showcase a good snippet of writing? Who shows off the shit parts?
James Martinez
I can't wait to recreate Littlefinger before the show ruined itself. "Chaosh is a laddah" and all that.
Ian Perry
Bit confused why they showed off a meme quest, probably would have done better to show off a more complex sidequest.
Cameron Hill
The Boarst stuff is a meme quest? Looked good to me. I also liked the actual meme quest they showed where you're acting over at PAX, although that one was so rough it didn't even have voice acting yet.
Lucas Davis
I'm gonna play in Supernova but save scum if I get boring flaws. I don't want to be afraid of some highly specific type of enemy, especially if I don't intend on doing a lot of battle. I want the more interesting flaws. Hopefully they have a flaw that lets you be arrogant, for example.
Dominic Thompson

It absolutely matters in the sense that if it fails, they ain't doing a sequel. I don't know how good or bad that is yet, though.
Nathan Powell
Do you know what Avellone has actually written in the last 10 years?
And if you say New Vegas, do you know which characters he's actually credited as writing?

Lucas Williams

Isaac Lewis
>fuck fascism, only people who think like me should have control of the narrative

the side quests he wrote for Prey were the best parts of the game. I only found out he wrote them afterwards but it made complete sense as soon as I found out.
>"You know what, this corporation who wants the control the narrative on this colony really has some good ideas"
Yes, only SJWs should be allowed to control the narrative, because as everyone knows they have no corporate ties.

Fallout 2 is good but Fallout 1 was better. More dense.
Isaac Garcia
Atmosphere of 2 is also very unappealing to me. Fallout 1 portrayed doom of mankind flawlessly. You can feel the remnants of a once real civilization peek through the absolute destruction that exists today. Kinda nostalgic and dream like in a way. Whereas 2 was all over the place with its jokes
Daniel Martin
Yeah, they tried expanding on too much shit. It was much less consistent.
Wyatt Reyes
>They absolutely are going to carry this game. Not that guy but the last good game they worked on was 15 years ago. While Avellone while doing little work at did something and what he did was good. Up to now absolutely nothing shown for OW is beyond typical new Obsidian mediocrity. Have you seen their newest presentation? Can you say that this is somehow on the level of old Troika/Obsidian games: youtu.be/6ixpOzeeTZs Just fucking look at at it. Look at this shit. Disregard the terrible commentary (turn off sound if you wish). This writing is pure cringe, it's another POE II, we can just pack and go home. As incels like to say: it's over.

The problem is Jason has actually DONE good journalism, though. He's so close but he has to discern reality from fiction when it comes to fucking video games. He's very good at knowing the state of the industry.
John Perez
The entire questline they present is a failed comedy routine. The joke is that product placement in movies tend to be obnoxious (well duh) but it goes-on for far too long and is too on the nose to be funny in any way. Sure you could argue that there were plenty of failed jokes in the old games (Fallout 2 especially) but there were never this bad.
Carter Jackson
>corporatists >literally the one thing fascists went out of their way to boot out of their country by calling them a bunch of jews >corporatists are fascists now
The jokes were good and this is definitely on the level of the average Fallout 2 quest, which go for just as long and are just as in-your-nose, not to mention this has no memes or references (at least that we've seen) You're exaggerating.
One of these days, someone is going to punch Jason right in his fucking ratnose. It's beyond accidental slights in these interviews he does, he tries to be as malicious as possible.
Hudson Lewis
Fascists have historically been massive corporate shills, especially the Nazis and Italian fascists.
Kayden Wood
They had no choice. They were being systematically oppressed.
Easton Butler
Yeah, that whole interview was great except for the part about fascists.
Robert Brooks
If by ''corporate'' you mean state, then yes. Fascism is all about the state running everything.
Nathan Ward
>The jokes were good and this is definitely on the level of the average Fallout 2 quest, which go for just as long and are just as in-your-nose Majority of the quests in the game are played straight, so even if the game has some terrible jokes here and there they don't interfere with the rest of the game too much. And to make matters worse the oh-so dialogue with NPCs casually advertising weapons gets repeated five minutes later when talking to a guard, so you can be sure that the game will be full of that crap. >this has no memes or references (at least that we've seen) How is that an achievement? >You're exaggerating. No I'm not. If anything what I was understating how underwhelming everything about the game had been so far. Absolutely nothing shown up to now is interesting or exciting. The entire concept is only worth a single Futurama episode and not the entire game. The gameplay is discount Borderlands. Graphic design is utterly bland. Recruitable NPCs range from meh to annoying. Nothing they've shown about the plot is any interesting. This will be another disaster like most recent Obsidian releases and if I'm somehow wrong about it, it's because they are secretly a completely different game out there and not showing it anywhere. I hate everything I've seen. I don't believe it will be a good game. And I don't believe in boomer devs making grand comebacks to gaming because it never ends well.
Angel Adams
yeah, for good reason. I really have to do a kill all gnomes run of this game

Dominic Gomez
the jokes were not good retard. and I saw this as someone who was initially excited for this game and was turned off by the actual footage we saw at e3. It made me less hyped.
I know how you feel man. Some of these names gave me hope that it might be good. But when they actually had something to show, it was like tossed my hope in the garbage. It was janky as fuck, there was no consequences for anything they did, the humor was reddit shit, and the writing as people vaguely refer to as some potential saving grave did not show up at all so far. And this is on top of the setting being uninspired so far, which was one of the things I was hoping to carry the game. and saying "it's just like arcanum and fallout" is not only a cop out, but is false as well. I don't know if your hope is blinding you, or perhaps you're being disingenuous for some reason, but the footage shown for this game makes it look like shit and there's no way around that.
Hudson Brooks
>the humor was reddit shit This is such bullshit. The humor was straight out of Futurama. I am 100% positive that if Arcanum were released today, I'd see this exact same post with the exact same shitty line.

Still doubt he can singlehandedly counter all of Obsidian's incompetence. They've never made a good game and TOV surely won't be one either.

Name one and I tell you why you're a faggot.
Jace Martin
VTMB 2 has Brian Mitsoda, this has Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky. I think both are gonna turn out to be decent RPGs, but I actually suspect, funnily enough, that Obsidian's will end up being the much better playing one, even though Obsidian is not known for that. I have a hard time imagining either one will not be worth playing, for all the flaws I'm expecting.
Jace Hall
Just one? Let me name two, at least: KOTOR 2 and Alpha Protocol. Fuck it, I can't resist, let's go for three: South Park, Stick of Truth.
Adrian Green
Well yeah but tapletops are already done, it's hard as balls to make entire original RPG mechanics without it feeling very shallow.

Worried about the story though, Chris Avellone is working on Dying Light 2 and even though his writing is "THESE ARE ALL SHADES OF GREY THE FACTIONS WON'T GET ALONG ALSO THERE'S PROBABLY AN EVIL FACTION OR TWO" I wouldn't trust anyone else to make a decent story
Charles Mitchell

Come on, you're felt the need to post with full on caps lock about OP. This is factual.
I know this is like the 100th time this image gets posted, but: >NOT Open-World >NO lockpicking or hacking minigames >NO romanceable NPCs These are all unironically good things
Xavier Morales
no it doesn't, you are lying OP
Ethan Sanders
What do you hope to gain from this
Austin Miller
He's just bored

>No open world >No romance Sounds fucking great.
Lucas Allen
How does he go from writing decent articles like the breakdown of Anthem & Bioware to a garbage interview like this?
Noah Myers
The interview is actually pretty good, aside from the "fascist" tirade.
Colton Carter
*BUUUUUURP* FUCK CAPITALISM, MORTY. JUST *BUUUURP* BURN IT ALL DOWN!
You do realize we know 90% of you shilling this game are unironically from a marketing agency? Bit weird how the majority of Outer Worlds threads that get posted have 250+ posts and generally about 20-30 posters? Rather interesting this thread has 99 when literally every other thread made is just 20 guys talking to themselves over and over, trying to hype the game.

Can't wait to enjoy the quality writing this game will deliver!
>Aren't you AFRAID YOU'LL TURN KIDS INTO NAZIS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!! I can't fucking stand these troglodytes and I don't understand how anyone can be in their presence without being physically ill. >Not allowed to like the Galactic Empire because THATS WHITE SUPREMACY >Not allowed to like The Imperium of Man because THAT SUPPORTS FASCISM >Can't even be creative and make your own stories with certain themes and subject matter because OH NOOO A KID MIGHT BECOME A NAZI AAAAHHHHHH If you, at any point of your life, used phrases like "Power fantasy" and have this fucking idea in your mind that every single piece of fiction is "wish fulfillment" Then I am begging you,I am on my knees right now begging you. Please, please, PLEASE fucking kill yourself you worthless sack of flesh, please I beg you from the bottom of my heart. Its not real, its fake, its fucking imaginary, its make belief. Fucking grow up.
you are one person. I clicked your link and the interview wasnt found ok? 99% of Yea Forums users just see that one other person checked and then dont bother to check themselves, so all the OP fag has to do is respond to himself saying it worked, really easy to fake
More like it will be a spiritual successor to Old World Blues, the most reddit DLC imaginable.

That was Chris Avellone, who is fortunately not working in this.

>What if some 13 year old is playing and he's like "You know what, this corporation who wants the control the narrative on this colony really has some good ideas" Yeah wouldn't want kids going and becoming journalists.

Cooper Allen
Yeah

When is the open world meme dying? Every open world game suffers from it. Stop asking for this to be a feature, retards, it makes games worse.
Never. There are retards that genuinely think more empty space to travel through is a good time.
Nicholas White
confirmed you can be a corporate boot? nice
Jack Miller
The fact that mods that undo his idiocy are so popular (well, relatively given how little people play PoE) should give him a clue but apparantly Sawyer is too retarded to realize.
Gavin Torres
I suspect the average person doesn't really mind if Sawyer balances things around. I certainly don't.
Colton Lee
>>Dun dun da, dun da-da da-da
Alexander Anderson
The average person is a retarded normalfag. I don't know exactly why you are trying to prove but congratulations, normalfag.
Adrian Clark
I just adapt to whatever rule changes happen. If it makes the game harder, so be it, I don't reroll my stats like a bitch.
Zachary Wood
>You can, in fact, kill everyone God I hope so. Fucking up their shit story is the only reason to pirate this dumpster fire in the first place.

Good sheep.

You're never gonna make it through life if you're this adverse to adaptation.
Angel Lee
Literally a jewish pedophile, of that I have no doubt.
Aaron Reyes
Can you speak using your own words or are you a living meme parrot?
Jonathan Sullivan
that RPS guy is such a flaming so(y)boy faggot. look at him replying like a reactionary BEYTAAA and having to be saved from these "uncomfortable" questions instead of putting his balls on the table. disgusting. gaymers deserve way worse than getting deprived of their indulgence in appealing female bodies in vidya.
cope beats seethe also yikes and have sex tranny for good measure
If you are going to give a non-reply why bother at all.
Jaxson Morgan
dude why are you sitting here pretneding like jewthesda isnt pushing the california degeneracy ?

I kekked. But according to nu/v/ boyarsky is an SJW.

>Kotaku Ah, Yea Forums is aware kotaku is going to die for the 4th time this decade with no literal comeback right?
They got liberal faggots on kotaku that don't even Vice, Vox or Buzzfeed want for being too retarded for their taste.
Of course they are willing to make shit up to rack those clickbait numbers.
Eli Scott
Really? There's no correlation between a developer and the quality of his games? Tameem, is that you?
Logan Reed

Tyler Cox
Who cares? A new SJW site will take its place. This industry is filled to the brim with SJWs and there's nothing any of us can do about it. GamerGate was a resounding failure.
James Thomas
GG was retarded because throwing a trantrum that outlets you don't like exist in the internet era is perhaps some of the most pointless/innefective shitposts one could make. Personally all I need is Wario64 and Yea Forums. In the age of streamed conferences"directs" publisher websites and about 100000 active discussion boards on the internet, getting upset because the videogame spinoff of a gossip rag doesn't have the best content is insane. it is fun to laugh at, like the OP gave me a chuckle. but people getting mad tend to ruin it.
Grayson Robinson
>Who cares? A new SJW site will take its place. No. It won't.
The trend now is slowly marching away from this. You will see a steady increase on the following:
Sites that require a paid subscription. Sites sponsored by companies like Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft directly like Nintendo Power. Merged sites that talk about games but not often.
Social justice just took a little longer to die but it was always a failed model. Clickbait lost the war to ad blockers and monetization.
YouTube killed those sites for good. Kotaku is worthless and so is their kind.
It will get better user.
Jonathan Williams
Yeah, people trying to make a war out of it were retarded.
Bentley Hughes
Delusional cope. There's no going back. They censored Tifa's tits, for god's sake.
>we are losing and even propaganda pushing corporations are getting cold feet about resurrecting us for the umphth time >nothing you can do, failure, ect. We are doing just fine. In fact there is nothing we SHOULD do because you retards are getting rid of yourselves awfully well without any help dont @ me, tranny loser :)
Brandon Watson
I'll add onto this. The etymology of Privatization literally comes from Nazi Germany.
Elijah Robinson
Catherine and CDPR are trannied, Tifa's tits are censored, Mortal Kombat 11 is muslified and sold well regardless, but yeah, we're totally doing fine. Retard.
Jordan Perry
can someone explain to me what posting random tweets/twitter bios is supposed to convey? people always do it here like it some sort of gotcha. they have been doing it for vtmb2 as well. but none of the tweets or bios are ever about the game.
Ryder Davis
Why can't you this asshole just stick to investigative journalism
Anthony Gutierrez
This has to the most false flagging i've seen in a long ass time. Calm down and get an actual hobby.
Aaron Cox
For now. It will launch on PC not too soon after. Problem son?
Ryan Taylor
GG is living in your head rent free
Brody Kelly
feels good that I will actively enjoy three of these games while user seethes online about politics.
Jason Ward
I see through your tricks tranny. Fuck off back to discord.
Mason Lewis
>implying non-whites are on the faggotry level as Jason It's always whites and Jews who are like this.
Angel Walker
Gotta get in that A POX UPON DR. SLUMP signalling.
Eli Evans
Meanwhile in the real world steam is selling eroge, trump won and woke studios keep going under. By the way, it is awfully interesting how you suddenly drop the blackpilling act and when fullSJWtranny when challenged. So, dilate sweaty.
Wyatt Long
>male-pattern baldness >hook nose >Beady, rat eyes >Resembles a pawnshop owner or a sleazy lawyer
Yup, that's a chosen alright.
Jayden Cruz
>Rick and morty is a children's cartoon
Yeah all those rape jokes are perfect for morning tv. It's a too deep 5 me stoner cartoon.
Henry Adams
Doesn't matter how many of the studios go under if they never fucking learn their lesson. Bethesda, Ubisoft and Sony keep doing the same shit over and over again and in the mean time every other developer is joining them.
You truly are delusional.
Isaac Edwards
based and redpilled, fuck /pol/niggers and fuck trannies
Gavin King
And than god. AAA morons doubling down despite their the value of their stock is a blessing. We might even get anothe vidya crack if we are lucky. Meanwhile, the indies that go against the grain (see KCD) are doing great.
Elijah Martin
"Deh!"
Isaiah Long
don't bother user, to a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Daniel White
Rick and Morty is just Invader Zim for pseuds
Justin Thompson

Jason Wright
This. The liberal reign of terror is slowly coming to a halt, even Disney will drop this shit by 2022.
They are replacing Kate Kennedy and even J.J Abrams talked about leaving Disney for Warner because his reputation was ruined by SW and Rian Johnson.
Marvel is silently killing SJW comics and DC has not talked about those trends for a while now.
In short SJWs never made any money and lived off clickbait which no real consumer likes. Even Anita SARSkeesian is going under.
Trump most likely win 2020.
The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed. the bitterness of ((men)) who fear the way of human progress.
We are all gonna make it user.
Wyatt Gray
Fun fact: The video game "crash" only happened in America and very specifically in the console and arcade markets. Both PC gaming and the rest of the world in general were continuing to flourish vidya-wise. Needless to say a second vidya crash would be even more insignificant. But I get it, you weren't alive at the time.
Liam Anderson
I am truly happy you are winning your LARP son. will you be home for dinner?
Parker Cook
This cope is blatant. You were saying the same shit back in 2014 and you'll be saying the same shit in 2024.
John Ross
I'm sure he tried, but he's such a shit journalist he couldn't cut it. So instead he starts fights where there are none (Dragon's Crown), uses sensationalist terms to get people to rally behind him and so that if you disagree with what he publishes you seem like you're an apologist for that sensationalist term or group, (Dragon's Crown caters to pedophiles) and now that he has a following that will shut down his opposition for him he just keeps posting his bull shit sitting higher and higher on his bull shit throne. He's literally a journalistic cult leader, and like any cult leader if you have any intelligence at all you avoid him entirely but that doesn't stop him from capturing the attention of the brain dead.
Jaxon Ward
>rounded face >long downwards nose >nose tip points down and is locate beneath the lower base >typical rat ears >thin upper lip larger lower lip >typical jewish eye bags >droopy eyes, outer edge of the eye is lower than inner edge >curved eye brows, again with the outer edge being lower than the inner side just a quick glance at this faggot is enough to know he is a dirty kike
It was actually pretty hilarious. All the outrage youtubers just stopped talking about as soon as it posted 1 billion.
Gabriel Gonzalez
There's a reason they're at the top.
Brody Rodriguez
i am still confused as to what was SJW about it?
Blake Rivera
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT'S NOT FUCKING FAIR BROS WHY IS THIS WOMAN IN A MOVIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Robert Hernandez
Most of the outrage came from the leading actress saying really woke shit in interviews and being an all around insufferable cunt. The movie itself was just alot of girl power stuff that men would just roll there eyes at in the 90s and move on.
Xavier Taylor
The fact that no one called you a faggot for not archiving this is very concerning.
Logan Watson
th-th-there was a powerful female in it and *sniffle* sh-she, she beat some other guys up.... it's n-n-n-not fucking fair bro...
Jose Wood
This is not even a challenge any more.
Motherfucker still believes the Tim Robbins trope about Fascism being about corporations.
>realize that nobody who worked on New Vegas is working on The Outer Worlds >realize all the shit writers from PoE2 and Tyranny are doing the writing for OW >realize Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky are hacks these days >last game Boyarsky worked on was on Diablo 3's narrative >last game Tim Cain worked on was Wildstar Jesus fuck bros

Fuck off, dude.
Adam Rodriguez

why does schreier sound so gay?

You'll enjoy Mortal Kombat 11?
Zachary Nguyen
>20% of the Outer Worlds team worked on New Vegas source >Alright, stopped reading here. Fuck off, dude. fuck off, what have they done since the Troika days that was notable?
>source youtube.com/watch?v=n2CXtrPkT2M&feature=youtu.be#t=40s >fuck off, what have they done since the Troika days that was notable? They never worked together ever since the Troika days. Boyarsky was stuck in Diablo hell.
Owen Nelson
Cyberpunk 2077 is gonna be shit too, politics aside
Samuel Reed
What's odd is that Sawyer actually buffed a lot of stuff in New Vegas, like 5mm and .22LR ammo and the Laser Rifle. The Gun Runner's DLC was essentially him giving the player a fuckload of opportunities to become as OP as possible, including easily farmable mini nukes for the Fat Man.
Camden Morris
looks pretty good to me so far.
Aiden Johnson
I still can't decide what was the bigger BTFO. This or Black Panther.
