Niggas will really look at this gameplay and blindly call a masterpiece “trash” and “woke.” We’ve genuinely reached an era where the love for gaming is declining, while people who barely even play games are increasingly larping as gamers.

Gamers love games. The gameplay is good, but the narrative is woke. The forced identity narrative choices ruin the potential of an otherwise great game experience. Some people can ignore it, some can’t. I 100% completed the first game. Not touching this one.

GoY was a pretty solid game. Coming from someone who hates woke shit in my games. There was none of that in this game. The gameplay was great. The story was pretty shit imo. But I think that's mostly because I find the whole vengeance angle rather immature and cliché. But that's just me. 16 year old me would've loved this game. I think GoT is better.

The story is debatable but they is no denying that it a great Game overall

Ok?? You didn't prove me wrong tho

You know the game is retarded woke garbage when the main character gets replaced by a fugly female

I already played GoT. I don’t need another one without Jin

We don't care about what you need

instantly no one cares about what you’re saying cause none of us are “niggas” shut your low iq ass up

OK nigga

shut yo lame ass up weird fuck

This game was a masterpiece!!!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it.

A real one here!!

Because they're not calling the gameplay "trash" or "woke". You created a strawman argument because you dont even understand their viewpoints.

OK what's their viewpoints.. what's so woke about the game

There's an ideological shift in development priorities. It's a classic example of modern entertainment corporate culture prioritizing diversity and political alignment over fan expectations. There was no narrative or commercial reason to abandon Jin Sakai to cast an activist.

You’re the one larpiing, the real fans understand why replacing Jin Sakai was a death sentence for the game, only woke morons would be confused by the rejection of another gender swap game.But that’s why dev studios are in trouble, cause the chuds wallets are why woke fails

I mean you're just a slop enjoyer and the trough is pretty full these days, but thats OK. Really the problem is that there are fewer and fewer alternatives to slop for discerning consumers.

Gamers don"t like woke games that all. The industrie is forcing us to play shit that nobody has asked for. The result is nobody buy these shits

It's because i think people are finally tired of games larping as movies.

The game combat looks fantastic but the story would have been better if it was a continuation or prequel to Ghost of Tsushima.

Ghost was my game of 2025. 115 hours of gameplay. Liked the story, action, and visuals!

Because we're tired of forced identity politics being shoehorned into our games.

Top 1 combat ever

Facts

The irony of bemoaning that "gaming is declining" because not enough people loved a totally competent, graphically impressive but otherwise unremarkable AAA open-world game is hilarious.

The graphics and gameplay are good but the story is woke

Kein Spiel ist Müll. Jedes Spiel hat seine Daseinsberechtigung. Von Mittelmaß bis gut bis sehr gut bis Super bis Meisterwerk. Was soll immer dieses komisches Wort: woke? Damals gab es diese Wort noch nicht.

I think that’s just a symptom of the social media algo’s and is not representative of the whole. Say something harsh and you’ll most likely get more interactions, hence algo thinks this is a good thing to promote.

A wokie telling us a game ain't woke...what could their motivation be

maybe stop calling every 7/10 game a masterpiece and people would stop to overcompensate into the opposite direction by calling it trash. it's neither trash nor a masterpiece. it's an ok open world stealth/action mix with a lack of depth in its combat and run-of-the-mill stealth

"Masterpiece." I think we've actually reached an era where larpers pretending to care about video games put flashy effects and photorealistic graphics over substance, style and creativity.

Cinematic auto-combo crap.

Ninja Gaiden Black and Ninja Gaiden 2 vanilla dwarfs this.

Gameplay is great. Story is mid asf.

I still love how sometried to use "protag's VA supports terrorists" for hate ammo. A) She got paid whether you buy it or not. B) Play it with the Japanese VAs anyway. I don't wanna hear a bunch of people in feudal Japan sounding like they belong to the Galactic Empire

I don't feel like the love for gaming is declining. It's just twitter people hating on stuff they don't even play. And that applies to every side of the political spectrum. Woke people also compain about random stuff on games all the time.

Eu só não gosto do excesso de mulheres protagonistas, como homem. Me parece ser mais um desses jogos genéricos, apesar da arte linda e gameplay absurdos, que já existiam no primeiro jogo.

This is a reaction. A reaction to when activists who ALSO don't play video games started calling games and gamers racists/sexist etc. Going as far as making that a talking point in the goddamn United Nations.Neither is good but, cause and Effect people. Cause and Effect.

Weeb slop

First one was better. Killing foreign invaders is much more satisfying.

This game is no different than Ubislop, its boring af
