I just was checking out the game and I noticed that the Dryad no longer says “I’ll do my Human Call: I’m so WASTED, I’m so WASTED!” I just wanted to point out to the dev team that clearly a bug must have happened which resulted in a lost VA Line. Surely no one would just delete something so innocuous.
Whatever culture has taken over it’s definitely not the “Personal Computer Culture”, because the “reforged graphics” for a 15+ year old game makes my mid range gaming PC run like garbage with dropped frames.
And I first played this game on a Macintosh G5 and it ran beautifully.
More like an Activision exec caught wind of this one day and wrung their hands over it and how it might cause discomfort for them if their shareholders complained.
The subtext is that a human female’s mating call to men is that she is “wasted,” or, in other words, so drunk that she can be taken advantage of by a male because she is heavily inebriated and not able to give consent to sexual contact anymore.
It is, indeed, a joking line. But, in today’s culture, social justice warriors will say that it is perpetuating a stereotype that women who get really drunk are taken advantage of by men.
It was clearly a joke and mockery of the whole thing. Every single day someone else constantly whines about some joke or something being made fun of that to them is not funny but to many others is because of the way it was done. Jokes aren’t allowed anymore?
Did you also ever consider it was mocking people who “pretend” to be wasted just to get laid? did you ever consider that as it is actually a thing, yes people are that desperate quite a bit. Usually people running around shouting “im soo wasted” aren’t actually wasted either.
Grunts repetitively smack enemies in game with axes, should we change axes and replace them with fluffy batons because they are supporting violence against others?
Like you cannot argue from a morally high position for one thing but then not bother with the rest. you do not get to pick and choose otherwise its a double-standard.
You know what, you made a good point. They should replace the axes with fluffy batons and balloon animals. I think they should change the entire game where the objective is to teach the other side how to live in peace, love and harmony. There should be no winners or losers and at the end we should all get together in a circle and sing Kumbaya My Lord.
