Am I supposed to believe this woman is grossly unattractive? Don't get me wrong, the game looks like horrendously dogshit, probably gonna be 10x worse than eve the garbage that was Ragnarok, but I don't get it why everyone is sperging about the fucking girl like she looks like a hideous goblin, that seems to be the least shitty part of this crap pile.

I know you guys just want to have a jab at zoomer vs millenials, but both of them are the issue. "Millenial writing" exists because zoomers keep buying games written this way. They're the target market for video games, if they stop buying millienial written games, writer will start writing different shit.

An underdiscussed reason why video game writing sucks is that so many modern writers get piped into it from fanfiction garbage. Most of them have never written any book or other legitimate piece of work before, they just get hired into the industry by knowing the correct guy on correct discord.

I don't know, but I actually have a follow up question:
How did zoomers get like this? Millennials are deviating from the standards of their parents. Boomer shit like old-school James Bond films was full of whiskey drinking manly men, and women who were sex toys without plot relevance. Gen X was the same way: big tits, short skirts, no substance.
It makes sense that people deviated from this, as is a natural progression of culture, where silenced groups eventually gain a spotlight and make art that reflects themselves, even taking the point to an exaggerated extreme (look! The ghost busters are Women now!).
But why have zoomers backtracked? The desire for nothing more substantial than coomerbait, the lack of any actual artistic beliefs of their own, championing nothing with themes or messages and wanting it all to be Marvel Tier Softcore Porn is just wild to me.
Is it really all because of social media brainrot? Is it Instagram reels and tiktok shorts just absolutely frying your brains? Like honestly, what is going on?

I find it so repulsive when brands and corporation try to be funny on the internet like that. Then you'll see (inorganic) comments saying shit like "the person running the [social media] account for [brand/corporation] needs a raise!". And you'll have brands/corportations replying to each others in funny posts and you just know that each and everyone of those funny banter messages passed through a dozen lawyers on each side before they were posted.

Being exposed to social media brainrot since infancy. Being bombarded with fear mongering 24/7, and lack of privacy online must fuck with your brain. It's not like they can turn off the computer and go outside and play like in the past. Now even kindergarteners must have phones with them to track every fucking movement they make.
>>
>>740253527
>just by coincidence that representation is just them
This is a valid point, though it's sort of understandable. We're seeing people in media who have traditionally not been in media. A spring pulled taunt doesn't just return to its neutral state. It overshoots it, then back the other way and overshoots it again, but less dramatically, eventually settling.
The real question here is why has gen z created nothing for themselves? Gen Z people are basically 30. 22 to 30 is the BULK of the game industry, and yet their content is indistinguishable from millennial content. Why have they reached the workforce in creative industries and been so creatively bankrupt?
>>
>>740253752
I really do think this is the cultural disease that has to be backtracked. We need to get offline. Boomers through zoomers are lost to it, but we have to get Alphies off the phones. Like it's actually imperative if modern human culture is going to survive

I think part of it is they lack life experiences that can make good stories.
Lotr for example was partially written with Tolkiens experience in the war in mind. And even with the harsh reality of evil all around it still kept his gentle ideals that good can win in the face of evil so long as they don't lose themselves.
These fuck wits the worst struggle they have is "my Uber order is late" or "Starbucks got my order wrong"
They have nothing to pull from.

>nepotistic leftist Californian writing
9 year triple A game developer here (engine architecture). The vast, vast, majority of writing teams I've worked with have been people from flyover states who have escaped their small towns and moved to industry centers to pursue their dreams. These are kids who used to be shunned losers before the internet let them see how big the world was. Thinking this is a "people from California thing" is like MAGA tier brainwashing

This is another really good point, you're on a roll.
The game industry favors younger people. It's not clear why, to me (games have always primarily been for adults) but it might have something to do with millennials being the first generation to play games as kids (much of Gen X was out of highschool before the NES Dropped and earlier Atari systems were so niche only the NEETest of NEETs engaged with them).
There is a huge agism problem in the games industry where people over 40 are pushed out... Which means you are losing people with real life perspective. It's why the writers now are all Gen Z, because millennials are hitting that cut off point. You don't see this sort of agism in other mediums. Tolkein was in his 50s when he wrote LOTR. John Wayne was in his 30s before he broke out as a star.
You just can't get good art out of children *most* of the time.

>implying that shit
The difference is that if we were born in 1988 or 1992 then we had access to a childhood devoid of internet discussion so we entered the online world when were 10, 13 or 15yo and developmentally this is totally different from joining the ideological warzone when you're 4 then learning to raid and run ops by 8 because the group leader said so. Of course anyone currently younger than 22 is a psycho.

Check out random people talking about any childhood trauma and notice how old they say they were in their stories, always younger than 10yo. A small child is legit more vulnerable psychologically while a 12+ child is more guarded emotionally and can only be gotten by heavier trauma.
Personally speaking First IRL Decapitation video at 13, no scars. Star Trek Movie at 7, lifelong phobia.

No, turnover is normal in the industry afik. The problem is companies hiring faggots who just burned down their last studio. If your resume is filled with flops someone's gotta stand up and say no more. Look at the kike who did the character design for Concorde. He left that studio after the game flopped and got a job at bungie or blizzard.
>>
>>740258004
ultimately if these companies all fail or run out of money, the devs will either kill themselves or wont make games.

so the more their games fail the more the problem fixes itself.
