    Older games are better than a lot of modern AAA slop, but not for the reasons she describes.

    I was hoping she would talk about game design, or writing, mechanics, player agency, gameplay before graphics or literally anything else but she spent nearly 15 minutes only talking about tired culture wars talking points like, “why don’t women look feminine aymore,” “why are characters designed for diversity/inclusion first before story,” “Concord sucks lol.”

    Yeah AAA writing is shit, please change the record so all the sweaty neckbeard virgins complaining about Aloy’s facial hair can crawl back in their caves. So sick of hearing about it.

    She shouts out Asmongold in her comments. Disgraceful.

      Agreed with your reasons, but she made points I have never heard about that I found interesting, like disappearing of some femininity aspects to awkwardly try to avoid sexism accusations. I wanted to share a point of view that I think is rarely shared in gaming communities.
      I don’t follow YouTube drama much, so I don’t know who Asmongold is.

      The reason I ended up there is because I recently started playing Oblivion, and saw her videos mentioned.

        These are very common talking points of gamer gate bigots. It’s a giant red flag, because the people who talk about it are bigots
