They declared that Symettra is autistic and they made Bastion gender neutral. The wokeness: In an attempt to create a more diverse selection of characters, Blizzard decided to add a socially progressive agenda that completely ruins my fan fiction of Tracer falling in love with me because she’s a lesbian. The game: Blizzard’s first new IP in many a year when it launched in 2016, Overwatch is an energetic team-based shooter where every person on your squad has a role to play and a chance to be a hero thanks to a wide and varied roster. Oh how the mighty have risen to glorious new heights and set a benchmark that few games can hope to reach let alone surpass. Compounding on that failure, were numerous reviews that praised the game for its rich tapestry of design, narrative and character development, with many a website calling God of War one of the definitive games of this generation.
The broke aftermath: Proving that real gamers want blood, Greek god tiddies and to be able to connect axes with troll heads rather than their emotions with a son who yearns for approval from his distant father, God of War only managed to stay at the top of various sales charts for several weeks, shifting a mere ten million copies a year after it launched according to Sony. What makes matters even worse, is that Kratos no longer has a rich reservoir of emotions to draw from, as his tank of rage, fury and anger now gives way to a more realistic and sullen man who shows compassion and struggles to connect with his son in a game that’s both God of War and Dad of Boy. Hell, it gets even worse for longtime fans as Kratos’ bloodlust has now been partnered up with gah character development and the pressures of fatherhood. The wokeness: Unline previous God of War games, there’s nary a sex ‘em up mini-game or low resolution nipple to be seen across all of the sprawling Nordic territory. The game: The return of Kratos, five years in the making and featuring Sony’s greatest warrior painting an entire Nordic pantheon red with the blood of slain deities as he embarks on the most epic Bring Your Child To Work day that video games have ever seen. The broke aftermath: It’s still early days, but even with April sales that make for the best digital launch in the history of the franchise and the best-selling game for April 2019 overall, Mortal Kombat 11 is going to fail any minute now. TRAGEDY!ĭo you know how difficult it is to find Jade attractive, now that she wears more layers to cover up the fact that she’s an undead zombie ninja with a figure to die for? No, I have no idea what the word necrophiliac means, let me go look it up quick while I whinge about female characters looking like actual people now instead of my page 3 stunner with a vapid personality to match Now I have to stare at their curvaceous frames, covered up in more layers of fabric and their proportions dialled back to be more realistic instead of looking like they were ripped from the sleaziest anime shows around. Princess Kitana and Jade may have looked like Baywatch models on a homicidal rampage, but they were sexy ass-kickers dammit. You look at previous Mortal Kombat games, and you’d notice that these were titles that were proud to show a bit of skin. The game: The sequel to one of the greatest fighting game franchises of all time, back and bloodier than ever as Earthrealm faces its greatest threat yet. Here’s a look at six video games in particular, whose wokeness earned them nothing but rave reviews and massive sales success.
Video games are no stranger to this phenomenon, with many a game having all kinds of soy sauce running through its veins and resulting in disastrous titles being released to an indifferent audience. See? Create something that appeals to may people and you’ll fail as miserably as Captain Marvel did.
#MORTAL KOMBAT 9 JADE MOVIE#
Disney created a superhero movie with a leading lady who would totally be prettier if she smiled, and that film barely scraped in $1.1 billion globally. It’s a mantra that you might see a lot of today, as there happens to be an idea floating around that making your product more appealing to the wider parts of society is a recipe for disaster.
