54:22 bingo. It’s that simple. I don’t agree with a lot of the politics of modern games but I’m not going to cry about it all day. It’s not going to help and it makes perfect sense why games have become more progressive tilted (generally) in recent years. And the hyper reactionary response to progressive leaning media just makes those complaining about it look worse when they combine sources of legitimate criticism, with, let’s call it less than legitimate criticisms, and then share those criticisms valid or otherwise in the most toxic manner possible. I can’t stand watching that lowbrow rage bait content and want nothing to do with it. Really enjoyed the video. Felt mature and level headed which isn’t something to be taken for granted on KZread rn

Does anyone know why OP thinks JRPGs are such a separate branch (starting in the late 1980s) that it would be too much to include in one video? Is it that Japan has an amount of content that exceeds or equals the rest of the output of all of the other developers across the globe? Or some other reason?

Your failing to mention that this rightward shift of the gaming overton window (and politics in general) is 100% the result of the institutional takeover starting in the 60's after the 'progressives' (ie: violent communists) realized their violent pushes to force their ideology on all of us was failing hard... This resulted in ,10yrs ago, a HEAVY BIAS (while denying the bias) in Media, Academia, Govt and all the other institutions. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND AND ITS COMING AROUND NOW!!! THEY DID THIS TO THEMSELVES! IF THEY COULD ONLY STAY IN THE REALM OF REALITY AND COMMON SENSE, IT WOULDVE STAYRD THERE!

If people from all sides would just do their own research from many sources across the entire spectrum, not juat from their own ususal self affirming 'source'. We also need to put aside our own bias, our own emotions, and stop avoiding others thoughts and biases, but most definately recognizing them and factoring it into what you believe at the end of the day. STOP LETTING OTHERS STEER WHAT YOU BELIEVE!!! All sources have some bias and many have only bias. VALUE COMMON SENSE AND LOGIC in your determinations. Its severly lacking these days, replaced heavily and intentionally at the academic levels so all of you will be good little useful idiot F/T protestors while the Elites that push things that way get rich of your protesting and the narratives they need to exist!

Breath of the Wild didn't invent this type of gliding system nor the stamina, exploring to find treasures. It copied them from Archeage and GW2, both open world MMORPGs. I guess since those games are relatively old and small in comparison the mainstream believes Zelda game invented them while in fact it copied them one to one. But yea, good things should be copied, like WoW did copy the flying mounts from GW2

Nobody cares about all of your points. Especially the ESG scores, investment firms or any of that. You are missing the whole point. It is not solely about Sweet Baby. Yes a lot of YT videos made stupid points. Not everyone fell for that. The whole issue is the crap diversity for the sake of crap diversity. The whole idea of pillowing everything so nothing hurts anyone. Making safe narratives that are afraid to offend. It all sucks, and people hate it. I might've watched a few Endymion videos, but that's about it. It's easy to pick out what's real and what's grift. Not just that, I, as well as others, have done research to know that a lot of what they say is false. It doesn't take away from the fact that Sweet Baby IS full of toxic far left people. They are a symptom of a far bigger problem plaguing western culture. Edit: I just saw the BG3 part and thats a prime example. An example of having diversity and inclusion in a way that wasnt annoying. It was a solid game with a solid story. I played BG3 for about 5 hours and it was decent, although overrated. Being progressive isnt a problem, its being progressive at the expense of what is important.

I'm just going from a gut feeling here, but I would suspect one reason left-leaning content creators are covering this stuff so little in comparison to Gamergate back in the day is that the targets here are (or at least appear to be) significantly less vulnerable. The previous targets were a handful of individuals who had very little connections to the gaming industry at large. Here the targets are those who do work in the big budget gaming world and have much more secure positions. If a community manager for Helldivers 2 starts getting death threats delivered to their home, I imagine they'll have much more of a safety network to rely on than a mid-sized feminist pop culture critic on KZread.

Well done. Though this seems more like a flick through the more important games in chronological order. If I'd be as good at editing as you (and I'm not) and could do videos at all (I don't), I'd tell the history of (Western) RPGs differently. Namely as one of fatal wounds and mistakes, almost death and recent recovery. Because what's happened at the turn of the millenium to the western RPG industry is probably unheard of until today in any genre of game. And shapes what the industry looks like still. You touch on all of that. But the way it's edited it doesn't have the emphasis on that. I think this is a huge story that for some reason has never been told like that. But it likely would require some research into the time periods and companies, rather than all the individual major games. Let's see: Origins, Interplay/BIS, SSI, New World Computing, Looking Glass, Sir-Tech, Westwood and almost even Bethesda (only saved by Morrowind) went bust. That's almost all major players right there. Those who survived adapted quickly both by making games increasingly detached from what was going on in 1980s/1990s RPG design. As well as trying to appeal to the new multiplatform crowd. In a lot of cases rather desperately so. To quote Bioware by the turn of the 2010s: "We are trying to reach Call Of Duty's audience now." The gap between the indies and later on crowdfunders couldn't be any bigger. And to be honest, had crowdfunding/indie/digital distribution not happened, I may have stopped playing one of my favourite genres almost altogether. Not even Immersive Sims were messed with this badly, even having a second run with Arkane and the Deus Ex reboots at the AAA level. With games like Prey in some ways even being DEEPER than the titles it took inspiration from. Whereas Bioware, Bethesda et all "streamlined" (industry euphemism) anything out of their games that would be less accessible than a Big Mac. Only more recent, BG3 bridged that gap. Itself a descendant of crowdfunding (Original Sin), most of all. And fittingly with an IP that was argued to have helped in saving RPGs a quarter of a century ago already... -The End- :D

Both the previous posts demonstrate precisely why there's so much bullshit and obfuscation around what is essentially a very simple topic. A blogpost by a bitter game developer about his girlfriend cheating on him revealed that she had shagged five guys, several of whom were on voting committee's for game awards. Game awards which Zoe Quinn's text-based game at the time, Depression Quest, was being nominated and advertised heavily as a result. This lead to a spring-board effect where instead of caring about Zoe Quinn shagging five guys, people began to dig up the business and personal connects of many prominent video-game journalists to see where and how they were getting funding. It is important that a journalist or a news organization, when taking advertising revenue, does not let that ad revenue influence their objectivity about covering certain subjects. A journalist at GiantBomb was fired for writing a negative review of Kane and Lynch 2. He was fired for the review because the website had been plastered with advertisement for Kane & Lynch 2. Giantbomb did not want to scare off game companies from buying ads on their site, and this is one of many hundreds of examples of journalists avoiding/burying objective journalism due to monetary influence. Shut up, write things you don't believe in, and take the money, basically. During this time (2014), most AAA publishers were getting a lot of flak from consumers. EA had been voted the worst company in America two years in a row by Forbes Magazine, Bioware's Mass Effect: Andromeda was a total flop, and EA/Bioware tried to state that gamers were simply anti-queer and anti-trans, which is why they did not like Andromeda. A slew of small, independent developers who had not achieved the financial success they were looking for also began to utilize this rhetoric as an excuse for not succeeding (Gamers are racist, gamers are sexist, gamers are anti-queer, etc..) The problem with that argument is that Mass Effect 1/2/3 always had queer and trans characters and sold exceptionally well regardless. This is when it became 'political,' and left/right wing commentary began. The political clap-trap became a thousand times louder than the original consumer-based investigative journalism into the nepotism and money-trails, and this has lead to a shitload of confusion and people intentionally obscuring the original series of events.
