I’ve been watching Falcom drill down on sexual harassment as a form of humor in the Trails series. Now that they’re remaking Sky, I’m curious how well they’ll handle having a female lead for once in a long time.

Put short, feminism is an important value in games for me - and shouldn’t be a high goal to achieve.

Set aside the china argument. In a random conversation about a video game, when do these topics come up? Unless the game is directly telling a story about those elements, I don't understand why this matters?

If people wanna discuss a topic, fine, but I don't see what it even has to do with an average video game.

I've seen game streams before where someone plays a random game while discussing a completely unrelated topic. It's so strange to me and not my thing. But them again, ANY commentary over a game video is garbage to begin with. They never add anything to it. No commentary is just superior for watching videos of gameplay.

How is Wukong? I haven't heard much about it

It's alright at best. It's just like so many other souls-like games, it's just visually way ahead of the others. Which comes at the cost of very heavy hardware demand.

Other than that I feel like it's overhyped as hell. I did the first chapter and frankly I'm not sure how this game would ever hit 95% score on Steam if it didn't have China's community backing it. Feels like a 70-75% game at best to me.

Its a soul-like game ... what else to know.
