You can just stop reading any time someone says "X game didnt flop because it was woke" because it's almost always disingenuous bullshit. The devs were textbook woke trash from the pronoun and mental illness infested bios to the 'its everyones fault but ours that this game sucked' post-launch attitudes. Even if they didn't go full Veilguard the stories of how they all thought their shitty game was amazing because the studio was one giant echo chamber tells the tale.

That being said I think you're confusing Highguard character designs with Concord. Highguard characters were just bland and forgettable, the characters Gak posted are from Concord.

Oh that's right. I guess I merged them in my mind, didn't even realize there were two similar huge flop FPS games.

Simply stunning.

Concord
Anthem
Marathon
Highguard

I am sure there were at least a couple more all of the same genre that failed to a spectacularly embarrassing degree.

Anthem actually launched pretty good, population wise, and was pretty popular for a few months. And yes it had some woke shit but not near the level they are adding these days. Anthem failed because like all unfinished mmo type games, lack of content and nothing to do when you reached a certain level of the game. Also later it was discovered that the maths behind all the game did not make any sense and was literally broken at the core. But yeah Anthem did not fail because it was woke, although it was the beginning of woke games for sure, it failed because it was unfinished sloppy mess and they could not push out any content.

Feel free to point out what was “woke” about Highguard, or feel free to NPC parrot what social media tells you to think. It was just a bland fucking game. One of the best descriptions I saw of the game is it looked like those fake video games they show some kid playing in a movie or tv show.

In other news, Bethesda confirmed a few things today

1) Fallout 3/NV remasters are being worked on

2) Obsidian is working on a Fallout game

3) They seem to imply that for now Fallout 5 is still theirs

4) Starfield is still getting content

5) FO76 is getting a Fallout 3 soft prequel involving Raven Rock later this year

6) Still working in ES6

7) Creation engine 3 (so no UE5 like was rumored)

All these big Western studios have not done shit in years. And the shit they have done has been trash, woke, and utter garbage. All this needs to be scrapped and rebuilt from scratch. Or let some other upcoming Indie studio have their hands on a Fallout or Skyrim license with their massive budget and see what they can do. Games need to be taken from the corporate (mis)management and middle management cesspool they have now back to gamers hands. Games need to be once again made by gamers. Not Karens with a degree in art or writing that could give 2 shits about games or gamers. Some of those dykes actually HATE gamers. Imagine that. And its not just the Karens, its the Andy save a hoe cuck shitstains too that plague these studios.

Big budget always means strings attached. You have to answer for that money, so devs will play it safe more often than not because if you take a risk and it flops hard, then you’re pretty much done as a dev at that point
