Looking at you, streamers and angry defenders of Japanese ‘fanservice’ games.
Who are the streamers whining about this? I guess I haven’t been exposed to the controversy yet, so I’m curious what they’re saying.
Yeah, I really wish the writer had linked to some examples of what they’re talking about.
Best thing i could find on it. doesn’t seem like it’s actually a controversy
I mostly agree. Games of all types can co-exist and knowing this doesn’t ruin enjoyment of the games that I do play.
Like Skyrim modding for example, there’s so many mods that display fanservice, nudity and even intercourse. Does that ruin the game for me? Not at all. In fact, I still play it despite that knowledge. I simply choose not to use mods that I don’t want to use.
Or a certain magicky wizarding game, that game can exist too without wishing death on people who want to play it. Doesn’t mean I have to play it, nor does it ruin gaming for me.
Instead, the logical thing to do would be to pass on this game and find another. I fully understand that BG3 is one of the games of our lifetime, but it’s not the game for me. (Of which there are many)
As someone who grew up watching my father crawl through dungeons (I think he enjoyed IWD more than BG), it’s great to see Baldur’s Gate at the forefront. Hopefully more of my childhood favourite RPGs will come back. I’d love to see Dungeon Siege and Neverwinter Nights brought back.
The wizarding game upsets me. I grew up with that series and it is literally a game I would have loved to play as a kid, but I don’t want to support the TERF. Low-key hoping it comes to ps+ so I can get it without giving them money.
I personally am not one for nudity in my games but BG3 is literally the dumbest hill to die on. If anyone actually is, I didn’t see any examples. Reason being, the first thing that happens when you start the game is that it asks if you want to turn it off.
