You are the toxicity on lemmy

Bf5 and bf2042 were largely rejected by the entire gaming community due to similar shit. It’s not about politics but more like virtue signaling I suppose

There are lots of games who have LGBT that literally nobody has a problem with. BG3 is good example

Yeah but those aren’t the same on the nose reminder of real life politics that dragon age is guilty of

The game literally stops to lecture you on how progressive of a game it is, it’s just stupid virtue signaling

They don’t play it to be lectured on politics that’s for sure. The sales speak for themselves lol

Every comment in your history is toxic and negative. Blocked.

Yeah I think video games are primarily used as escapism

You know people play cod because they like the 6v6 arcade shooter mode, not for the story or the campaign

I’m honestly unsure what you’re upset about lol

How do you know if someone is worth blocking if you don’t vet them a bit

Like which gamers exactly are upset about non white npcs?

I don’t understand the relevance of bringing up race here unless you meant to infer that’s something which bothers me in games

Otherwise well written? This game is trash. Go replay an older dragon age if you forgot what good writing is

Do you actually just assume random people are racist for zero reason in your day to day life? I couldn’t help but go into your profile and I laughed when you complained about toxicity on lemmy.

The problem is blatant references to the real world in a fantasy game. The game literally goes out of its way to remind you that you are playing a human made video game.

With better writing this wouldn’t be a problem, I agree

Woke is fine if it doesn’t break immersion. In BG3 it feels like part of the in game universe. In dragon age it feels like it was just forced in like “hey look how progressive we are” and it’s just very tiresome

It reminds me of the runescape pride parade. The whole community was mad not because they are anti gay it’s just not a place for blatant real life political stuff when we are all playing for the sole purpose of escaping real life

It will undoubtedly turn many gamers off entirely, not necessarily because they’re unsympathetic to trans rights, but because they’re tired of being preached at.

Ya people play video games to escape these politics. Glad to see this game fail miserably

I should start collecting physical PC games
