Gaming is f*cked..

this god of war thing people have been i mean god of laundry the rinse and repeat epic like i mean this is really i well i think there's a couple more of these right and uh yeah here it is man i better clean up before kratos comes home It's so fucking funny, man. I'm sorry, but like there's some people getting mad about this.I think this is hilarious.Dan's gaming purposely misunderstanding and that was very cringe.I like Dan's gaming, but like it's so cringe.Cause like, so he did the thing.I can't believe there are people still afraid to play as a woman in a video game, which is like, I mean, everybody knows this isn't true.

Like why are you even, why are you even talking like this?Why would you even say this?It's just so stupid.So I replied, I said, intentional misunderstanding.No one is afraid.to play as a girl you know this why would you even say that and so i i use i think this is the perfect meme for the god of war situation blue is an awesome game i wish they made a movie out of it or in this case a sequel um coming out soon blue the movie blue big screen pictures presents blue i think that's exactly what's happened It is this is exactly what it's been and it's not about the thing is if they had Tomb Raider And it wasn't Laura Croft.

I think people would think it was weird so like God of War is centered around Kratos It's always been centered around Kratos so whenever you switch it to like a character that I mean I think if you were to pull if you were to pull God of War players like everybody and also like the greater gaming audience like Who would you want to play as in the new God of War game?The ratings would probably go Kratos, Atreus, and then probably a third character that we're not even thinking of, right?And then Laufey would probably be like number seven.So why would you ever make that character the main character?of the story, right?Like Tyr, Thor, something like that.

Yeah, exactly.So like, I really think that if you did a vote for this, like the players would never vote for this decision.

Guys, guys, there are some tropes that, that, that...

See, he's so afraid to say this.Here's the reality, and you know it.You know that they keep replacing characters that are white and male with characters that are non -white and non -male.And the reason why is they want to push a social agenda.That's the reason why they want to do it.It's not because the character was too boring.

It's not because people weren't interested in it.It's because they're pushing it for a social agenda.That's the same reason why you see a lot of gay and trans stuff in video games.Nobody's asking for that, but they still keep getting it.Why is that?that any person actually wants to play like a character that looks this way I don't think that they really do I don't I think guys have no problem playing female characters but she's got to be really hot she just this woman and also by the way I feel so bad for her her actress because the actress is like way more attractive than the way that she's portrayed in the game.

And so it's just another example of an actress who effectively is having their, you know, their likeness deformed in order to make it more acceptable for the hags and voids that are working in this company to try to feel better about themselves because they don't want to see an attractive woman because it'll make them feel bad about themselves and insecure.That's the reason why.

make the player -based defensive.I mean, it is what it is.

It is.He's completely right.He is.He's totally right.

It's not a small portion.

It's a massive portion.It's a massive portion of us, and we will make the discourse so unpleasantso uncomfortable, so problematic, and so toxic that there will be an environment where people are afraid to do this.That's the goal.We are trying to do that.We are trying to make it as toxic as possible.

And do you want to know why they're mad?It's because it's working.It's working very well.

Yo, God of Whore is crazy.

God of Whores.

Jesus.

Wife of Whore, Whore of Whore, Floyd of Whore.Is that Greta Thunberg?Karen of Whore, Slop of Whore, Soy Slop, Alice in God of Whore.Gay of Whore.

Okay, okay.Okay, dude.Okay.Whore of Kitchen is fucking absurd.

Whore of Kitchen?

Oh, man.

Like I said even there's Intel's and then there's there's a gradient or whatever It's a guy game.

It's a guy game.It's made for guys Kratos is the peak masculine male character and the people that are playing it are Overwhelmingly men if you swap it over to being a middle -aged Suburban mom who has a magic sword that she can talk to and she can cast magic spells with their hands Nobody gives a shitit.Sorry.

It's insane.It's been over over decades.Like, yeah, of course, there's gonna be some form of reservation when the protagonist when it's a when it's a feat.

See, he's so afraid to say this.We have evolved over millennia to be able to identify and detect trends.We can tell what a trend is.We know what trends are.You share more chatters at xQc than your own 24 -7 channel?Is that really true?

Let me see.755.That's crazy.Damn.

I mean, like, I'm glad, right?I am.

Like, I think xQc's great.That's great.Who's the third one?I didn't see a third one.BurntPeanut.Oh, I'm so surprised.

Yeah.Exactly.Everybody knows why they're doing this.We all know why they're doing this.And we're not gonna get gaslit into thinking, oh no, no, that's not the reason why.Yeah, it is.

We all know it.Everybody knows it.It doesn't matter whether these - see, these people think that it matters whether they think it's invalid or not.It doesn't matter whether you think it's invalid.It matters whether we think it's invalid.And we don't think it's invalid.

So then it's not.And if there's enough of us, we can force these companies to do whatever we want.And there's getting - there are becoming more of us every single day.We are recruiting more chuds to the chuddening that we've ever done before we are going to create a we are going to

completely remake the video game and we're going to remake everything in the image of the chud back to where it was meant to be Being a guy, the thing is like, people can identify with a guy in a different way they can with a girl.

And the way that a man looks at achieving and solving problems is different than a way that a woman does.Like, for example, a man would solve the problem and a woman would complain about it.So, like, where would there be any combat?It just doesn't make sense.

It's also a leading experience for the main player base, absolutely, 100%.And you denying that is just, it is level one thinking process.Anything not CrayDoubleSequel is gonna see some pushback for sure.I mean, I think it'd be good.

Yep, that's right.

Tomb Raider is a female protagonist from the get -go.You cannot compare.

a character that was formed and enjoying your republican it's been like since day one so a lot of people are very opinionated about this right and so basically domino's pizza uk uh for some reason called out god of war uh paste and so god of war game with no kratos equals pepperoni passion with no pepperoni and santa monica studios themselves went out and they responded to it they said okaythanks for the feedback domino's pizza corporate account man you guys got called out by a pizza company even they knew this was a bad idea That's nuts, man.And, uh, yeah, that's just really sad.And, uh, ordering Domino's right now.Yeah, what a crazy advertisement.And, uh, this is one of your specials.

You shouldn't be offering creative input.Call it the cheeseburger?Yeah, what is it?Jesus Christ, that looks pretty bad.And uh, okay.Anyway, even Domino's Pizza releases more sense with their pizza takes than a game studio does.

And so they're getting defensive over this, I'm not surprised.It's really funny for me to see this.And what are some of the other - God of War laundry.The cube is replaced with a washing machine, and the sword is replaced with some fucking laundry detergent.Boys, we are so back.We are so back.

God of War.I think this is my favorite one.It is.This is my favorite one that I've seen.Infinite content.Yeah, I know.

And, uh, with your shirt, I guess so.And so, God of War laundry.Oh, and they're changing it over and over, just making it even more fucking annoying.A pizza company knows more about gaming than the gaming companies.What a time to be alive.Domino's is with us.

Rod of War laundry.Oh my god.

Shut up to good games.She's a strong, independent woman.What do you can't say that?

God of War's wife.Oh my God.God.Oh, Domino's.I need a hundred pepperoni passion with triple pepperoni.Make it a hundred pies.

Send them straight to your social media team to enjoy tell them to start scramming the PlayStation accounts It's funny all the people defending this game will not purchase it and it will die I think that the game will still be moderately successful I think that it will be but I think it will be dispensed successful despite this not because of this I think that if they had just gone with a safe option of going with Kratos again or going with even atreus i think that it would have probably sold more copies that doesn't mean that it will fail right it's kind of like the odyssey for example like i don't think the odyssey is going to fail but there are going to be people that will be alienated because it seems like they've made racially based uh political correct casting choices for the different characters in the movie so i think that's problematic and people are going to see that and there will be a detriment because of that and i don't think that anybody is going to play it because there was a girl playing it right i don't think that's it yes all it's right I don't God of boar.Why does her forehead look like yours in the thumbnail?I don't know.Remember 36k people are using the third -party tracker.It could be worse.It is.

And I think that you're going to see more people that are negative about this and hostile too.This is going to enter into the, uh, uh, into the, what's the word for it?Uh, and then look at this.This is IGN's video.It has 11k up -dude arenas and 11k down -vote arenas.That's not a good thing to be.

And yeah, boy and cube and also like Jack Quaid as a cube is what Claire would have wanted.It's way worse than the Ghost of Yotai trailer.Yeah, because Ghost of Yotai is another example.So some people are making the comparison with Ghost of Yotai versus this game.And you can see here 351 ,000 versus 36 ,000.So why is Ghost of Yotai different than God of War?

So number one, Ghost of Yotai is different because Ghost of Tsushima is a one -shot.It was a singular game, and inside of that singular game, you had basically, uh, you know, you had one character.So, like, there was not a - a pattern of content following one specific character that, you know, went from game to game to game to game.It was not following the narrative of Jen, or whatever the hell his name was.Uh, it's not following this for, like, you know, two decades, or, like, one decade.So, Ghost of Yotai was more reasonable, and I think people are more willing to accept it, because there was not an expectation that was created over 15 years.

So that's number one.Number two, I think also every time that something like this happens, I think that people get more annoyed by it.So it's like a building thing.So the first time it happened, people probably didn't care that much, right?But whenever you're on the 10th time it happened, I think that people get more sick of it over time.I think that's another component, right?

Final Fantasy has different protagonists every time.Yes, definitely.And so anyway, that's the other reason.So God of War is getting massively downvoted in every single trailer, and it doesn't matter how many likes people buy on Twitter.One thing that I think that you can always tell, and this is the game that I will use as a comparison, right?1348xVato.

This video game got literally tens of thousands of upvotes and likes on Twitter by a bunch of fake woke people because they wanted to push the namethat, you know, we like woke video games and we're going to play them.And now it's down to seven people.That's it.It's down to seven people right there.and seven players.

And so the problem is that these people are very loud on social media, but they don't actually care about the game.They don't care about the media.They only care about the media reinforcing what they believe.So the moment that the media isn't doing that, then they're going to come up with all these other excuses and reasons for why, but ultimately they don't buy video games.And that's the bottom line.These people do not buy video games.

They don't play video games, and they're not interested in them and also this is the best test of what I think whether a character is like a good RPG character or not 99 times out of a hundred I think this works do people cosplay the character if the answer to that is no it's probably not a good character and you shouldn't have gone with it it's actually that simple so new footage from gameplay God of War Wow good this is great yeah Magenta de I purple.Yep.There you go guys andtake my money And uh, anyway, did anyone ask for a god of war where you play as kratos's wife?Like is this reaching an audience?I'm unfamiliar with Nobody asked for this.

Nobody wanted this And it also by the way, the the character looks awful.I just think it doesn't look good I mean like if I was this actress, you know what?This is like this is like the It's crazy.It's like basically it's like somebody who didn't like her made her look like this in the game.Someone who didn't like they didn't like her for some reason, and that's the way they make her They give her the eye bags as well.They give her like those cheek lines right here like it's not good man, and Yeah, she's golemified.

She is this is so obviously bad and also I want to show you guys this too because there are some people that again they love to get it twisted they love to misunderstand, but Take a look at this here.Karens, looking to force their fake morality from the top down, and when the games lose money, they'll have no one to blame but themselves.I guess you see these girls.Okay.Yeah.Wow.

Wow.How about that?Yep.Absolute baddies.Yep.Definitely the West and look at this.

This is the way that they do it.You see here Japan.That's the that's the real actress.That's her in game.That's the real actress.That's her in game.

This is the West they intentionally make them ugly and fat and more masculine.That's what they do.And the reason why is to satisfy the hags to make the hags.make the hags happy so they don't cry and complain that's it look at that jaw oh my god they're anti -women nobody hates women more than women oh man you guys have no idea you know like there are like studies that if women perceive another woman to be more attractive than her they will give the woman sabotage uh like uh like what's it called um fashion advice they'll say you know what you should do you should shave your head No, you do deserve a buffet.You could get, yeah, you could gain a few.No, you'd be fine.

You'd look great.You're beautiful.No, no, there's nothing wrong with it because again, yeah, dye your, yeah, shave half your head off.Yeah, no, you should get a nose ring.Oh, what if he doesn't like it?Well, he's so, like, fuck him.

You could do so much better anyway.All right, Sony did it again.You can thank the usual consultants.Exactly.And this is all, this is hag, uh, Um, this is straight -up hag propaganda.Gears of War E -Day.

Dumb.Marcus, bro, you gotta go.Hey, remember remember to stand behind the wall whenever you shoot the guys Hey, don't don't watch it.Watch out.Hey use your chainsaw man.Use your chair whenever we used to use chainsaws, bro Dominic cube.

I know man would have been funnier for his gears of war cube a day and Anyway, look at some of these other ones.This is what's happened.God of war and halo.Look what they done.Look what they done i remember when i used to be the target audience that was a long time ago and uh god of laundry we see this they literally aged her for the sake of the story and added a few wrinkles what the fuck y 'all what a surprise what a surprise i told y 'all during the gameplay reveal for new god of war i haven't done any of this by now this is just so you at home know we haven't touched the controller for 45 minutes And that's another thing that we didn't really talk about, is that all of these games and everything, look at this, this is what this guy said, I saw this, I thought it was a really good one.Yesterday I was told I should sell my PS5 because the reaction to God of War game was, I was on the fence.

Sony said they were going to show 8 -20 minutes of gameplay, and then proceeded to show 18 minutes of cutscenes, and the comments upset with me because I expected gameplay.I didn't even think about that.But it's another movie game.It's another person.Again, The Last of Us has done irreparable damage to the video game industry.It has.

And it's a huge problem.And if you're a man and you play a game with a female protagonist, you are trans.So true!Y 'all aren't real people, bro.Man, I am so happy about this.Every game you ever play from now on will be like this.

Oh my fucking god.And let me scroll down and look at a few more of these here.Yeah, I'm not playing this because she's a woman.Men and women don't think the same way, and any game told from a female perspective will have decisions that a woman would make, actions a woman would take, outfits a woman would wear, and she will say things that are not things based on - say and not say things based on what a woman - I'm a man, I don't relate to any of those choices.I was - I was - I expect a retarded but Tomb Raider argument.Laura Croft was popular because she had two assets and rarely spoke.

Samus was popular because she had more assets and didn't speak at all.Notice the trend?No man played those games because he wanted to hear a woman talk for several hours.Here, I think I can abbreviate that sentence a little bit more.Do I even have to at this point?Nobody wants to hear it.

Absolutely not.And so, shut the fuck up.Yeah, just shut the fuck up.And that's it.Argue.For the women who I've seen argue, but we'd be playing as men, why can't you play as a woman?

Yes, that's how it should be.You like the franchise because it was written by men.If you wanted something women made, then you'd be reading or playing that instead.Men have been the writers, philosophers, and the artists and the inventors because we're equipped for it.So when you come into these male spaces, maybe just enjoy it and take part in it without trying to feminize it.Exactly.

Yep.That's it.We're set.We're set up to do those things.I don't know what women are set up for.I have no idea.

This guy's savage.Yeah.this guy's a champion.I love this guy.And I saw this.It didn't get a lot of likes, but I thought it was really funny.

And also, this is the problem.We here are pattern noticers.We notice patterns.And we see more of these patterns emerge.And we begin to worry about it.We begin to worry.

And we're noticing.We are noticing.Siri is the exception for me. I think that games can be good if there's a female protagonist.They can be, definitely.But, you know, I think that it would be better if it was a guy.And let me see here.

Also, by the way, I think that we should watch the Forspoken trailer and just compare it with the God of War trailer that just came out.

I'll let you in on a secret, but I'm a pretty big deal.Big deal.We are getting out of this city, Homer.I promise we'll go somewhere that loves cats.More fights.

Does anybody remember what happened in the studio?What happened in the studio?It died for this.They all got fired.Look at this, guys.I purple.

You're noticing, aren't you?You're noticing.ANY NOTICERS IN JET?Uh -oh.

Okay, so let me get this straight.

I'm - Get this - get - keep this in mind, because we're gonna watch the part with the cube after this.We're gonna watch the part with the cube right after this.

Somewhere that's not what I would call Earth, I'm seeing a freaking dragon, and - oh yeah, I'm talking to a cop!Did I just do that?Wait - I just moved it with my freaking mind!Classic.

Absolute classic.Jesus.

See?

Oh man.Is that a dude?Nah, it's just a fat.So, you see that?Okay.Very cute.

Very nice.

Give me a minute.

Let me find where she's talking to the cube.How about that?How about that?Any noticers?Any pattern enjoyers?I'm starting to notice a pattern.

Talking objects, yeah.It's a Jell -O shot.Get ready.Frank in the name of God of War.Will they always do that?see again, it's that's how, you know, a millennial wrote it because they're like, oh, it's like Jeff from Marvel rivals.

It's just Jeff, like the little shark.Release... release the DEI Purple, in order to fully unlock the potential of this game.You have to release it.You have to be complicit in this madness, in order to play.It's even on her hip.It's even on her fuck -out, right?

Look at her fa - look at her face, too.Dude, whoever did this... hated this voice actress you could not go and make her look like that jesus bro white that is bad that's bad go go hey look guys if anybody is like one of those ah it's not true it's not true go tell your wife she looks like that go be like hey i saw this woman uh he reminded me of you there you goSee, see, look at that.It's called menopause face.I bet, you know what?I think that answers a lot of questions.

I think we all want that.

We definitely do.

Faye, you need to accept it.Uh huh.All of it.You're dead.You're dead.

How?How do I accept that?

Simple.Focus.Focus.You're here.Be here.What if I need to be somewhere else?

So, you see?It's the same thing as the cuff.

Focus on what you do need.

Forespoken was destroyed.No.Forespoken lives on.

That's it.What were you thinking of?Just remade.I promise.Okay, we'll take it.Now let's get out of here.

Okay.Jesus.Get ready.

Oh man.

Good idea, bad idea.

Oh man.Man, oh man.And yeah, it's all just a cutscene too.It's not even gameplay.so yep there it is guys i just wanted you to understand that this game is already god of war before and now yep this is dude this is so badass this was socool Like I I don't even know.

How do you do it?It looks like every bro This looks like every game that came out in the last three years It was this game probably sounded like a great idea during the george floyd riots But now that we're back into uh normalcy and uh, not a uh, you know, covid ridden fucking hysteria Um, we're back to normal like no, it was not a good idea.It wasn't there and Man, it's beyond industry -wide.All media is infested with this shit.Well, how do you end the infestation?How do you stop the infestation?

By not playing the games, and by contributing to negative sentiment about the games.That's the way that you do it.Don't buy them, and if you think they suck, tell people they suck.And say that's not why you're gonna buy them.Don't let any furry fool you.or hag on Twitter tell you that you're wrong.

You're not.You're right.You're right.They're wrong.That's why they have a list of their mental disorders in their profile.Because they're wrong.

There's something wrong with them.This is a this is 100 % a boycott.I don't think so.I actually think that this is just simply like, I think this game will be successful financially.I do.I think so.

But I think it will be less successful financially than if they had just stuck with a more safe story.That is what the audience wants.But I do think that also like when you have a video game that's getting announced and it has a like dislike ratio of 50 50.I don't really see a lot of good video games that come out that are able to overcome that first impression.Sam Hyde made a good point on this.Old good games used to have one old white guy that made the call.

Now decisions are made by committee that have gone to shit.Yep.I completely agree.Totally agree.Let me see here if I can find a few more of this because, uh, yeah, it's just really, uh, I also, this is, this is nuts.I've got to, I've got to go through some of these cause it's just fucking insane.

And, uh, but I'll, I'll go to these in a minute.I'm not even ready for that yet.Okay.All right.One more.

But when it comes to a lot of peers, she definitely she decided that hey, I'm gonna weigh in on this as well So she pretty much left a video saying that what now women are ugly in video games and she pretty much gave up Her reasons why women look the way they look in video games today compared to what it was like a long time ago.And you gotta hear her response.It just blew my mind.It just baffled me.

is when they're moving their bodies.Performance capture is able to pick up more nuances of the human face.And so hand in hand with improved graphical fidelity in video games, you are able to actually capture more like micro movements in the human face.So your face scans need to be more accurate and in general, a little bit more human.That's more flawed.That's more flawed.

That's more flawed.That's more flawed.That's more flawed.That's more flawed.That's more flawed.Champion.

Absolute fucking champion.He's completely right.

Humans have a bunch of flaws on their faces.This is a very common part of being human.Nobody's fully symmetrical.Nobody looks cartoonish.So as video games in general are getting less cartoonish, again, this is why I think it's specific to the West.I feel like there are still a lot of Japanese games made with, like, more anime art styles.

It is easier to make somebody look perfect, essentially, and thus less like a real human.

Well, then why would you not do that if it's easier?

But you have to have more accurate face scans that can't just be about symmetry, where, like, maybe they would have, you know, created a face that looks a lot more cartoonish, because then you are picking up the facial expression, so it's my cartoon.

Wait, why do you have to have that?Who decided you have to have that?Who decided that?

I didn't decide that.

Could you believe that she actually said that?

I don't understand.Again, guys, like, I don't think y 'all understand how bad it really is.What about Laura Croft?Again, 007 did it right.Now they care about realism and accuracy.No, they only care about that.

They want to make the women ugly to make themselves feel good.That's what it's all about.Oh, this guy.This guy was upset about it too.

Okay.

I don't know where to even start, dude.Um...chat, you guys just fucking ruined it again, bro.I'm gonna be honest.Just like, I don't even know if I want to do these showcas - EAT THE GOY SLOP!

WHAT'S WRONG, CHADDY?!YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR GOY SLOP?!BUT WE MADE IT JUST FOR YOU!

...streams anymore, I'm gonna be real.Um, it's just like, it was - it was a justifiably, like, annoying showcase, but I just see people getting mad at, like, the dumbest shit.Like, the problem with the game isn't because he plays a fucking woman.It's one of the problems.

It's not the only problem, but it's one of the problems.It's just like, not.It's crazy that this has actually gotten so big that it's even affecting completely unrelated creators now.We have broken containment.We have.And we're not sorry.

We're not sorry.We're tired of it.We're tired of it.It's fucking annoying.I'm tired of being gaslighted.I'm tired of being lied about.

I'm tired of being patronized.And now we're doing it!

Just didn't, I don't know, it didn't look different enough from like a, I guess, God of War to like justify this whole kind of redoing, like new approach to it.Yeah.Um, I thought the aerial combat looked fine, but I mean, that was a big showing for, I don't know.I felt kind of flat during most of it, but again, it's kind of what I said with my 007, uh, impressions.Like, I'm not a mark for these things, but you see me popping up about Wolverine or like, I really like Pragmata.So I think it comes down to the type of game, but, um, yeah.

Yeah, I got nothing more to say.I'm gonna hop off, though.I gotta think about if I want to do these types of streams.I don't know, man.It's just, it gets mad toxic, and it's like, I'm not trying to ruin people's vibes.It's like, I get it's only so much we can filter when there's a certain volume of people, but it's very disappointing, so...

gonna hop off guys thank you those of you who did support though I appreciate you and we will talk soon I'll make a video on this day to play so you can look forward to that at least but I appreciate you guys my god oh my god bro like because they didn't like the game now you don't like really like he's right though no he's not So it's this toxic positivity.If people don't like the game because you have to play as a woman, this is the toxic positivity that I was talking about.If they don't like it, then they're right to not like it.That's it.And they want to enforce like, oh, we have to be positive.No, we don't.

We don't have to do anything.We don't have to do shit.God of War is in, it's approximately 7 % attachment rate to break even based on the estimates.I don't know if they're even gonna make money.Maybe, right?I'm not sure.

He essentially said fuck to people that don't donate?Well, I don't know about that.And, uh, here's the album accommodations of Kojimbo's models.Let me see this.This is the Kojimbo girls.Let me see.

Oh, we already saw this.Yeah, we saw this earlier.Yeah, I mean, very clearly, like all this, like, oh, well, they can't do that.They don't like at the end of the day.Why does it matter to make the faces really realistic?Who decided this is important?

People that have a job based around that.That's the reason why.That's all there is to it.So is it as you excuse chat?Yeah, bro.As soon as by the way, as soon as any woke game.

So like whenever there's any showcase, whenever there's a woke game, everybody opens up my stream just to read my chat.They do.They open up my stream, they're like, there's no, oh, what are they saying about this one, right?Because they're like, they know that my chat is going to be popping off.That is, oh, is this a new one?This is amazing guys Really like AI is so good.

I love it.And thanks Dennis Quaid's kid.I guess so.It's just hilarious Dragon Age the veil.Oh, dude, people are starting to see it asthma and goldification Jesus Christ guys like y 'all really had to do that, huh?It's actually insane.

Like what they did like somebody at that studio had to fucking hate this girl.They had to hate her man What do you think buddy?

What the fuck was that?Lofi?What the fuck is Lofi?That looks like shit.I'm gonna be honest with you.

Reminds me of that game for spoken a little bit fucking based Fucking based and my favorite thing about this is David Jaffe has made like four negative videos about me talking shit about me and Now and like, you know, I've been saying this stuff for a long time now They're replacing because he was one of the original creators of God of War and so now yeah, it doesn't feel too good.Does it?See, you didn't recognize it was annoying to me, but now that it's happening to your thing, now you're upset about it.

I think that looks so uninspired, and it looks so...Welcome back.

Welcome back to reality.

...dull.And you guys have to remember, that is the opening of the game.

Yeah, so it's probably going to be a flop -a -rooski beyond that.

Because it says X for new game.

Yeah.

It's possible there's a prelude, but that seems clearly towards the opening.It's dead.That game is not going to do well.

Damn.First, they came for the insults.That's right.

For what they expected to do.Here's my point.If you got rid of God of War, like, look at what the Internet was asking for.A lot of people were saying, oh, well, maybe she gets to go into other pantheons.Okay, so do we get to see Chinese mythology, Egyptian, whatever.Right.

This just feels like Corey or somebody wanted to write a fantasy story.And I'm not saying, you know, it's not going to be rooted and grounded in some actual mythology of something.Maybe it already is.And I'm just not aware of it.

Yeah.

But you've lost the gore and the violence that made the first game.You've lost the character.You already lost him after 2018 because he changed so much.He wasn't Kratos anymore.Now you've lost the identifiable mythology of it.And you've also lost, um...

No, that's a really good point, because, like, everybody knows Zeus and, you know, Athena and Hercules, but, like, the Egyptian gods and, you know, like, other random South American gods, like, people don't really know that.Ares, yeah.Like, and people know Thor, everybody knows Thor, Odin, Loki.

The, uh...You know, it's...You've lost me with the cube.it's in the little Disney character at the beginning it just seems this seems like just a fantasy like you you if they would have taken God of War off the title and nobody would have cared nobody would play the game nobody care they're using the title in order to sell the game you didn't know the God of War story and there wasn't Kratos it was just a story about this goddess who diesYou would not be talking about this game, in my opinion.Really fucking goofy, man.

Really fucking goofy that it's like, that nobody pulled somebody aside and said...

They can't.It's a culture of toxic positivity, and nobody wants to be the wet towel that puts out the bright fire of the strong, independent woman.Nobody wants to do that.What?Blanket.So they just let it happen because they don't want to get called into HR for being misogynist.

This is not God of War.I don't know what the fuck this is.This is like some fantasy novel that I didn't like it at all.And I'll probably play it for the stream because I'm sure there'll be interest.

Yeah.

But if it wasn't for that, I have no interest in playing that game.I think it looks dull.It looks repetitive.It looks been there done that.The cover is terrible.The name is terrible.

I don't think that's gonna be the final cover.It looks like Forspoken.It's got that flavor to it.It feels very uninspired.

He sees the purple, but he doesn't recognize it yet.He doesn't notice it yet.You will begin to see.You will begin to see the purple.And I'm gonna tell him.He'll eventually probably see me reacting, right?

It's fine.He notices.See, like, because at the beginning, it's subconscious, right?Because, again, the human mind is designed to identify patterns.But, like, at the beginning, you just have a feeling.But then once that feeling crystallizes and manifests in the DEI purple, you say, oh shit, there it fucking is.

think that's it notice how twitch is also purple twitch isn't the same purple It's not and Karen god of hag Karen demanding manager.Oh, man Really?This was really cool, bro.Like this is badass God of leaf gay of war gay of war.What is this?I'll watch it real quick of working with for more than 20 years.

20 years?Whatever.She's not qualified.She's a noob.Get her out of here.Obviously, obviously like a woke.

Yeah, D .E .I.D .E .I.

Yeah, exactly.D .E .I.hire.All right, let's see what the great Asmongold had to say.

Let's hear it.Or like I I don't know what they were thinking.I don't know why anybody would want to play, you know, a middle aged woman, like a 40 year old woman.Excuse me?In like an action.

Like, I don't I don't see.Is this man married?

No.Is he a girlfriend?

He's probably.Am I wrong?Am I wrong, though?Probably the most single man alive.And he might be closeted gay.OK.

Yeah.I have no problem playing as a middle aged woman if she's fucking cool.

I would just prefer not to.I'd prefer not to.I think most people would prefer not to.And she does seem pretty cool.

She seems pretty cool.I mean, you technically could play as a middle -aged man for God of War.

Yeah, exactly.It's way better.

I'd rather be a middle -aged man, because I'm a guy.Right.But he's...Well, I think...Okay, let's hear him out, though.Let's hear him out.

I don't...

that it's trying to appeal to anyone it appealed to me It appeals to me as a fan of the first two games because this is a really key character that we never got to meet But yeah, I don't know what he means like this.

Who does this appeal to?I mean, it doesn't have to Wanting to have sex with the main character is the only way to appeal to somebody right?

Uh, it's a really good start It's a really really good start And so, basically, if you're making a female game protagonist, there are two options, right?You either have her not say anything, and it doesn't really matter who the protagonist is, or you have her be really hot.Preferably both.but the one thing that you don't want to do is you don't want to have a game where the character isn't basically a super hot stellar blade tides of annihilation uh you know like style character bayonetta style character that's talking all the time like i'm sorry but like nobody wants to play that i'm sure some people will look past that but i don't see how anybody's asking for it Which again, it's like also, I don't need to be appealed to.

I just want to play a fun game.I want to be appealed to.

I want to be the target audience.Whenever God of War 1 came out, I felt like I was the target audience.I do.I want to be appealed to.The actress is super hot.Yeah.

Yeah.The actress is very attractive.And, uh, they made her, they made her ugly in the game.They did.This is the way she looks in real life.So they intentionally made her ugly.

they gave her more wrinkles, they made her ugly.

Like if you play as like a demon, there's games where you play as like a ghost or a demon, like I don't want to fuck the demon or the ghost.

Yeah, but it was doing something for his masculinity to play as a Batman.

Right, yeah.Somebody's upset.I, Asmongold, can't identify with this character because they're gay.kind of the same phenotype, you know what I mean?

I was thinking, he's, well, I'm not asking for a character that looks like me, am I?

Looks way more like her than The God of War.Yeah, he definitely looks closer to her than Kratos.

I do.I don't think God of War should look like me either.This is like, this is always a reverse where it's like, now you're attacking my sexuality, you're attacking whether I have a girlfriend or not, you're attacking my appearance, all of these things are happening, but you're not attacking the argument.it's actually kind of maybe that's why maybe he wants to escape what he is right exactly i do um i don't really like the way that i look personally and i want to play fantasy games in order to play the role of a character that i would want to aspire to look like or aspire to be that's true that's accurate i think that most people would do that wants to be a big buff dude yeah This is interesting.

They do look very similar.Yeah.

I mean, if you were to ask like, if you were to pull like a thousand guys and say, would you rather look like me or Kratos?I think that you'd get a thousand to zero.You would like, I mean, I think this is obvious.Like, what are we, I, what are we doing?Duh.

Kind of a remarkable.

I don't think this appeals to like, I don't know who the target audience for this game is.Yeah.Any, anyone?

likes playing video games.

I think that's the biggest cop out.I think that whenever you bring a game out, you should be bringing it out for an audience.And I think that the way that men and women, for example, perceive stories and want to experience a game like God of War is definitely a male coded game.It's a male coded game.It's focused around the male experience.It's a hyper masculine game.

It has a really big, you know, hairy big guy that's like the main character.Like, that's the focus of the game.And so the moment that you try to reframe that as like, well, you know, who knows what it's for?Who knows who's invited or who's interested in it?The reality is that it is a game.It's a series that's made, you know, with a guy main character.

It's mainly about guys being the shit out of each other.You change that to a girl.I think that, yeah, you've got a very, very different experience.

God of War fans?

Or God of War fans.Like, how can you miss, how can you be this obtuse?You're not, like, I don't think Asmin is actually, like, a dumb person.I don't know why he's doing this.

Well, here's the question, right, that I would ask Ethan.My viewpoint is clearly not the minority viewpoint.And to the extent that it is, it seems like it's a very, very slim minority, right?Because, or like, very edge minority.Like, because, I mean, if you look at the trailer and, like, the amount of, like, upvotes and downvotes about the game, Like, I mean, there's been a huge amount of criticism and complaints about it.Like, you wouldn't have had this much amount of people.

They're not even allowed to entertain a massive amount of people.Yeah, exactly.Like, I mean, even one of the creators of God of War didn't like it.And so, like, you know, I think in a lot of these cases, you can look at everybody else that doesn't like it, too.And like, you can say that, like, all of us are retarded and none of us are right about it, but that's fine.But like, we are we are retard strong together.

And to the extent that you do not, you know, cater tothe chud you know the chud audience like I don't I want to be catered to.I want to have games made for me. I don't want to.And also, by the way, I don't think whenever I see I'm going to be totally honest.Whenever I see a 43 year old woman that looks like an average suburban mom with no makeup on is the main character for like a action combat like game.I think that most people, if they told their wife they looked like this character, especially in some of the stills of the character, their wife would probably want to divorce them because nobody Nobody actually wants to look like this.

You're not going to have a bunch of women that are going to try to cosplay this character.I'm sure you'll have some, but probably not even 10 % of what you would have for, like, an attractive character like Eve from Stellar Blade or, you know, any of the gacha game characters.So why is it that, you know, when women want to pretend to be other characters, they never choose this character?And they didn't choose the character from Ghost of Yotai either.It's because nobody wants to be these people.Even the women that are these people don't want to be these people.

That's why they edit their photos and they're wearing makeup.So you're effectively adding in a, you're making a design decision for no one.Nobody is asking for this.Nobody wants this.Men don't want to play as this, and women don't want to be this either.So you're adding this in as a form of social messaging.

And I noticed that, and I resent it on a foundational intent level.

pretty dumb.I think he just sees which way his audience is reacting and he's pandering to them.

I mean, I, there's no way I can, I can say, no, I'm not right.I mean, there's no, I can't respond to that really.He's definitely audience captured.Yeah.And I could give like examples, right?I could say like, well, I didn't say this was South of Midnight.

I played that game.I thought that game was pretty good.Uh, you know, I've defended other games that have had female protagonists or like, you know, like black protagonists, like for example, like if they're watching this, this video, right.You could look at, um, you know, the way that I looked at Silent Hill, like, I obviously didn't say that was a bad thing because it had a black character.Right.And so Tomb Raider, yeah.

Tomb Raider, even inside of the same thing.So like, I don't really think that that's true.been going on now for a long time.Yeah.And like those are just multiple examples right there that I can use just to immediately disprove that.And or an Atreus game.

Yeah, it is.And so like, I don't I'm not interested in this.

Would he complain if it was an Atreus game?

Yeah, that's a good question.Yeah, no, probably not as much.

No, I don't think he would at all.Probably not.I don't think he would have any.Which kind of gives the game away, right?Like, he wouldn't have said any of it.I don't see, like, what do you mean give the game away?

Like, what?He would be saying, like, oh yeah, this is the logical thing.It is.His son, he gets to play with his son.Exactly.He's right.

Exactly.

And I think that's part of why it's...No, Ethan's right.That's correct.

...okay that they're doing a side story is the last game pretty conclusively tied up this story arc.You know what I mean?Like, Whatever the next game was going to be was going to be something totally different.It was either going to be Kratos going to a different land.

I want to say it's like Ford, they forced this female character down their throats, but they didn't actually at all.

Well, why do you think that they made the character less attractive than the other characters?actress that's playing her and why would you do that when she's a goddess like i mean it's like so you can't apply like normal like human aging to the situation either total sense right um it's and and it's completely fine it's not like five -year -olds action action he's acting like it's like a barbie dress -up game right i who's the target audience for this children little girls Yeah, that makes sense.

If it was a God of War dress -up simulator spin -off, he might have a point.He might have a little bit of a point at that.

You can make fun of it all you want, you can do whatever you want, but at the end of the day, I want to be catered to, and making a menopausal 40 or 50 -year -old woman as the main character is just really not the way to do it.And I think that there's a lot of people that feel the way that I do.I don't want to play that character.It's weird.Especially whenever I know that it's being put in the game for a social messaging reason.They acting like it's like a dress -up game.

It's like it's the same.It's not that different.It's a role -playing game.And I think that it's important for somebody to want to embody the role that they're playing.That was the point that I made with the cosplay.Actually, no, it's not different.

Like Tomb Raider, like you wouldn't expect Laura Croft to be replaced by a guy, right?Even if it's a cool guy.You wouldn't expect it, but I'd try.

I mean, I'd try.He kind of ate with that boy.

I mean, Kratos has been a lead protagonist in God of War for 15 years.It's not different.

If Laura Croft had a husband.

Why are you guys all saying Laura?Isn't it Laura?

Lara whatever I'm sorry if it's not different if Laura Lara Croft had a husband and There was like this elaborate fucking Laura two of the games was about her Psychologically coping with his death playing with her husband would be fine.

It's been a fun Yes, it was a flashback to what happened to be fun.I play it Yes, I would play as long as she's still in it.

I think Kratos was some capacity I would love to pick his brain on this take I really would I'm curious how he would.

Well, he he he did have a clash with another intellectual titan of the streaming world, XQC, which we have some.

Oh, my God.

Yeah.

Middle aged mom, you know, casting lightning spells like I just I don't I don't really see that.That didn't happen.I don't really see that that market there.

Oh, I just can't.He's just not.

He doesn't he doesn't believe in that.He's no, he he's lost in every.

All right.OK.

How many - How many - How many - How many points on the graph do you need before you can draw a line?How many do you need?We've got a lot more than two.We've got way more than two.

You took this personally?

Is that it?I wasn't talking about you.I'm sure she's a nice girl.Women get so defensive about this, it's embarrassing.Actually, maybe there is a reason, but like, I mean, you could remake an old game.You could come up with another version of it.

Why do we have to do that?Come up with another version of it.

Why do we have to do all that?

Also, they did just announce the remake of the first three games.Oh, that's sick.That is cool.

They're doing it all.They're doing it all.

You could do a bunch of different things, right?But you choose not to do that.So it's not appealing.Yeah.I mean, like...He's being so dumb.

Like, I don't know how to...Okay, that's fine.See, It doesn't matter to me.Like, I'm not looking to get approval for my opinion on this or not.I think this is what they're doing.I've seen them do this for literally years.

They're doing it again.It annoys me and I don't like it.And I don't have to justify like I've already I think I've provided like a number of reasonings.I provided my logic behind it.I provided why I think this and if somebody chooses not to accept that, that's up to them, right?It's it's their opinion.

And it's their prerogative to not accept that.But fundamentally, it's not going to change.It's not going to change.And there are a lot of people that feel the same way.me, that feel the same way about it that I do.Just let the player count in the reviews, do the explaining.

It'll probably get good reviews from designers, or sorry, from journalists.

I don't know how to explain just, he's just being so childish.It's like so stupid.

Yeah, of course it's childish.It's a video game.They're for kids.Yeah, I want my little video game to be just for me. I don't want to look at the character and realize that every single time that I look at that character, I remind myself, I'm looking at her and she looks this way because foids and hags on the dev team got insecure because the actress was too attractive.So they had to give her more wrinkles.Every time I'm going to see that character, I'm going to think there's like an immersion break that I'm like, wait a minute.

That's right.That's what's happening.

She's like, what are you talking about, bro?You never read a book from the perspective of a woman.Do you not?Do you refuse to read books from the perspective of women?

or movies where the women engage in the female experience.

Uh, yeah, I'm a guy.Yeah, I'm a guy.I'm going to.Yeah.Am I dressed up as a chick?

Right.I mean, it's just nobody's interested in that.

Yeah.

I mean, I mean, I'm serious.It's not appeal to like, do you not have you never watched enjoyed a movie from a woman's perspective?

That's hard.Let me think.I mean, Alien was good.Um, what else besides that?There's got to be another movie.right?

Freerun?Yeah, Freerun was really good.Uh, Terminator?Yeah, well, Terminator was like Underworld.Underworld is a great example.Underworld is the perfect example that I can use.

I enjoyed Underworld a lot.It's one of my favorite movies.And that was told from a female perspective.Now, I don't know what the difference is or why I happen to like that movie more.But I know that when I was about 11 or 12 and that movie came out, I really liked it a lot.What a great movie that was.

It's a mystery.No, I do.That's exactly the way that I feel about it.It is.And I'm not sorry.And most people feel this way.

I do.I think so.And I don't know how many more of these like gender swap like and I think also there's a big problem that like Ethan would have a good point.I think if it did like there are so many other instances of this happening that i'm kind of tired of seeing it happen to like franchises and it's annoying to me where like you have a male dominated franchise that then a female lead either has to share the spotlight in or takes over the spotlight of the story and i just don't find that interesting and i feel like i'm kind of being like and like any guy that complains about it is like you know they're they're appearing like they're making fun of the way that I look or they're making fun of like I don't have a girlfriend or they're making fun of like some other thing about it like I'm a kid like I mean so like you can't even ask to have an honest conversation about like you know who who's interested like who's asking for this right who asked um I don't thinkthat a lot of people did.It's artificial.

Yeah.And so like, you can't even ask questions.Theo Jaffe would agree with you.He said the game looks like shit.Well, I don't know if he liked, disliked it.Like, I like Ethan.

Like I could see, I think that girl got a little bit, she got a little triggered.

She did.

She got a little triggered, gotten her feelings about it.I get it.I understand.That's the way it is.

But other than that, guys, I'm going to go.

I'm going to call it a day.I'm tired and I'm going to relax.I don't know like I don't to me like I don't really I don't really care, right?It's not like I'm taking offense to it, right?I mean, like, I like them.I don't have, like, any sort of ill will or, like, negative intentions toward them.

I just disagree with this, right?And, like, if there's a little bit, like, I mean, I can tell, like, whenever...For example, like, if somebody's, like, goofing around with me and, like, they're, you know, like, making fun of me, like, I'm not gonna take that personally whenever I know that it's not coming from a place of, like, malice.So, like, I'm not upset or angry about that or something, but...

That's what my opinion is, right?

So anyway, guys, uh, I'll, uh, uh, I don't speak ill of you normally.Yeah, exactly.So like, I mean, a difference of opinion isn't a big deal to me.Um, so anyway, guys, thank you.Thank you guys all very much for, uh, for watching.I appreciate it.

And I will see you all tomorrow.So until next time, boys, peace.
