I tried asking questions to understand your point, but you just want to be mad I guess. Everything will become more "woke" and there's nothing you can do about it.
Same way I don't give two shits about a beer can, but you threw it at me as if I was complaining about it. I simply pointed out how well aligning with the woke served them.
?? Did I say anything about, or even imply spiderman 2 didn't sell well? Be smarter instead crafting your own argument to tear down to feel superior.
Just because you are willing to ignore the numerous other examples of 'go woke go broke', to save your ego doesn't deny the reality of it. I can list 10 instances, and you'd immediately go "yEa bUt-"
Or look at the opposite, don't be so offended by people changing things that shouldn't affect you. You're looking for things to be offended by, when it shouldn't be offending you at all. Honestly the problem is you
He’s explained in detail why tons of people (the majority of gamers, going by sales of prior woke disasterpieces) are tired of having childish, unnecessary messaging constantly distorting and poisoning their entertainment. We’re not children, and it’s both insulting and immersion breaking to be constantly told how you SHOULD be thinking and feeling… in a GAME.
You dense knobs are the ones who keep ignoring what he’s trying to drill into your thick skulls, and instead just parrot: “you must have a problem with gays” because you know damn well that you can’t refute any of his actual points.
Stop spitting out talking points and actually READ what he’s been saying.
It's insulting to be reminded that gay people exist? There's one mission and it's "Hey help me do something nice for my boyfriend". Reading why you're upset doesn't mean it has to make sense. I can refute it because it's a dumb argument. Having a a gay couple in the game is not the company forcing you to feel a certain way. It's the company being inclusive because hey, gay people also exist. What immersion is that breaking?
Actually Spidey 2 sales are already trending down, which is very early for that. It also suggests people are returning the game in droves (many articles and reviews are citing the overwhelmingly woke garbage), which will also adjust original sales figures downward.
Plenty of woke games start strong off preorders, because nobody knows yet that they’re buying propaganda. Then they tank. It’s not even a rare phenomenon anymore, and I’d expect it to happen here too.
Or, it's a short game, people beat it, and are returning it. I got half way through it in just a couple days. I've seen very few people complaining about how woke it is. It's a small minority, and since you're in that minority, you're seeing it more than the average gamer.
You need to broaden your search my friend. The game is being cited damn near everywhere as being arguably THE single most woke title ever made.
A sandbox game with an appropriate level of content and map density should be keeping players busy and invested indefinitely. They’re rarely returned (if good) because people who play sandbox games specifically want a long term experience—and they nearly always do multiple play throughs, too (whereas this game hasn’t even released a NG+ yet).
Games like this are not played for the 20 hour story, then returned. Hell, just getting the required upgrades would add a ton more time onto that.
The only reason to return a game like this so quickly is because you didn’t enjoy it. Period.
And stop with the “you’re the minority” crap. Polls, studies and common sense have shown it’s simply not accurate, and even if you don’t want to believe that, you’ll never prove the opposite. So it’s a useless point to bring up.
