Apparently the game isn't woke and it's good

[Crimson Dawn]

Andypants gaming is known to be the most anti-woke youtuber around and he made a review of the game after finishing it.

Now, i am not for supporting Microsoft but you have to give credit where credit is due. I don't always agree with that guy but If he says the game is solid and it does the original films justice, then maybe to all those that worry about woke elements or being preached, you'd like to give the game a chance. That's all.

Yes, let's take a look at the "poison" that's in this game, according to his pinned comment.



Yes, you read that right. This game contains "poison" because the female companion has short hair and isn't sexualized.

I truly wonder if you guys even know what you're saying half the time.

Oh, and as for that "lesbian relationship" - I feel like a broken record at this point, but it's one line. Spoken by a side character who appears once. About a person who isn't in the game at all. That's literally it.

This is beyond ridiculous. If having a non-sexualized woman with short hair in the game is enough, if the mere mention of a lesbian is enough to be critizised for wokeness - then I honestly believe we should just put the wokest stuff in all our media for the next 50 years, until these unbelievably stupid people have died out completely.

The funny thing is that the guy who made the video most likely doesn't even believe in this stuff and just does it for the money.

He probably doesn't.

One of his older videos is on Mafia 3, he does not complain that you're now a member of the black mob rather than an italian white dude when he almost certainly would have if it was made now.

It's almost certainly that he likes this game too much to say it's bad but he can't actually admit it's all for money, so he has to pretend this game isn't "woke" despite literally featuring a black female leader of a resistance group in the final hub, the kind of stuff they love to complain about.

They're the new SJWs of the internet, judging books by the cover without even reading it.

And now openly disliking games because you punch Nazis in them, which just makes it all the more obvious what actually hides behind someone who says "I hate the woke".

I cant realy understand the rating, very good with only less than 6k players and this bossy girl from the last movie. This smells a lot like paid revues.

It's not too woke but it's still a bit woke because I doubt anyone would be talking about their lesbian love affair in 1937. Especially in a Muslim country and especially in a Muslim country occupied by Nazis. It's just not really accurate or appropriate so it feels like forced tokenism, which it is. I don't have a problem with them being lesbian but you could at least be more accurate to the time period by being a bit more discreet and subtle about it. Because it is the kind of thing you wouldn't trust people to know about in that time and place.

The game is great though.

Personally I don't think that's entirely accurate - as I've stated before, it's quite literally one line of dialogue, spoken between friends, not openly. The person saying it is a side character who doesn't appear again, and the woman they're referring to never appears at all, it's literally one throwaway line out of 4+ hours of cutscenes. On top of that, the line is "she still loves you, you know," which yeah, probably does imply an actual relationship but is also debatable.

I'd 100% agree with you if she was running through the streets singing about it - that wouldn't fly for a second in that particular time and place. But one tiny conversation between close friends in private I think is something that could easily happen, and doesn't really imply tokenism, at least in my opinion.

Either way, I'm just splitting hairs. Glad you're enjoying the game!

So glad I watched this. Game is utterly Meh. The soldier looking up and around after hearing his buddy killed 3 ft away takes the cake.

He played on normal. The AI is pretty dumb on easy and normal, unfortunately. But it's quite the difference when playing on hard and very hard. The game is actually both really fun and challenging on very hard. I loved my playthrough on very hard.

Unless some update changed it, the AI does not seem to change at all. I could not tell a difference but I think maybe they got more HP. As the game go on the AI is more aggressive and willing to use firearms and more HP, this is likely effected by the difficulty as well.

The AI is horrible, but it works well enough most of the time. On very hard, for the first half of the game you can just ignore guards and kill anyone who becomes aggressive for the first half of the game. For the middle you want to hunt them out so you get a decent drop on them. For the ending you need a good strategic location, and plan, and some good weapons lined up.

It doesn't take a YouTube commentator to know that people were jumping at shadows regarding TGC.

Gameplay doesn't look very deep, but it looks like it'll entertain enough. The three Indy movies aren't very deep. They're entertaining enough. Not $70 maybe, but we'll see what sales happen.

Nobody cares if the game is good. Only 5% of pro-woke, and anti-woke man-children make drama just to stir ♥♥♥♥ for attention.
