Game just not doing it for me. Not into the stealth style of gameplay but YMMV and I can see how people would be into it. Just feels like a PS2 game. Not the graphics but the stealth gameplay.
Also don't have any nostalgia for Indy. Not sure how the audience is for this game. Last Indy movie was a wet fart and the one before that was pretty disliked. So were talking about something that was popular almost 40 years ago. I don't see why those under 30 would care about the IP.
It will probably be a good game just not for me.

The game isn't even out yet, why you crying? While getting distracted with Stilton, the point that is relevant is MachineGames is using the same type of tongue in cheek marketing they did with New Colossus during the US elections and Harris calling her opponent a Nazi in a national election.

I don't like it any more than you, but I am not going to be quiet about it. They want to advertise like leftist AntiFa's, then I am going to point it out.

This is a game forum in a "Gaming" thread. Politics should be in another forum like "World"? I'm wanting to read up on people's opinions on games not politics.

Game should've come out late PS3/early PS4 era when everyone was getting into Uncharted and Tomb Raider. Maybe it'll be a great game but I doubt it'll sell well. Probably will be a XBL freebie pretty quick.

I am directly talking about MachineGames behavior when they promote their games. They just promoted Indiana Jones and leaned in on the NAZI's, something as I have pointed out, has really nothing to do with what game enthusiasts have had no problem with the previous 40 years prior in these IP's until they started to castigate those of us who are not left of MAO a NAZI.

Your complaints would be better served when you dissect the gay pixels of whatever DEI game du jour releases, but until the game is out, you are going to see us discuss activists pretending to be coy about their promotion.
 
Got to say, this incessant bashing of the gay or the dei or the color purple in all the fucking threads makes me think of this guy.

Maybe if the majority of modern AAA devs and publishers didn't see the inclusion of LGBT, DEI and a host of other far left political propaganda as the single most important aspect of the games they make, including the very deliberately employment of Bisexual Lighting in both promotional material and far too managerial games colour pallets, as you flippantly attempt to dismiss as simply an irrational irritation at the use of purple (my favourite colour incidentally), when it is in fact a deliberate choice to use it on the devs parts, as a subversively subtle attempt at social engineering.

At this point if anyone is trying to claim 'political discourse is off topic', then you are either incredibly ignorant of what the game is actually involving and what the devs are very publicly telling us they're choosing to prioritise when making these games, or you're aware and actively trying to undermine those who take issue with entertainment being propagandised by extremists, in which case you might want to go to Resetera where expressing all such dissident ideas will get you banned, so you'll be able to enjoy a far left echo chamber, where everyone agrees there's nothing happening and that if it were happening, it'd be a good thing, in peace.

MachineGames activist developers shaming you into buying their game as they lie about you in advertisment form.

You're not saying anything new by repeating the same thing over and over in every thread. Everyone on D-Pad knows Dragon Age is a woke game and Wolfenstein 2 was a woke game. There are things to like about them still but your constant preaching kills any discussion and makes gaming section look the same as world section.

The whole point of not being Resetera is to discuss gaming without placing politics as the most important aspect of them.

If you can't enjoy your casual RPG gayslop when people on a tiny forum call it gayslop, then you have your own problem with self confidence. Play the games you like and tell Reddit about how much you love it. Stuff that I love gets made fun of all the time here.

Every Nintendo thread is salted with various "fuck Nintendo" sentiments instead of discussing the merits of Nintendo games. Every Sony and Xbox thread is the same. Every Metal Gear thread has people mocking the story and presentation and barely talking about the gameplay. Every Halo thread has people talking about how far Halo has fallen.

So why does gayslop get some special rainbow-shield to protect from "off topic" criticism? Did you losers run out of crappy mainstream sitcoms to binge on Netflix and now you need your video games to have the same tone and depth?

All these fun topics have long ago mutated into fuck DEI rants.

Just because they push it doesn't mean we should indulge it. I don't care what companies feel about the woke culture. It has nothing to do with me playing their games. Likewise, I don't care how "woke" a game is since I ignore such things when playing the games.

Yea, just because I want to stay ignorant of the propaganda behind a game's motives doesn't mean I want to discuss it somewhere else to avoid being banned.

Quit crying. Plenty of other discussions here. Dramatic antics don't add anything, so maybe post a lot less if certain kinds of discussion on the forum bothers you. You're only amplifying the topic further by complaining about the complaining about DEI.

Look this forum has plenty of room for politics in the World, The Tavern and even the Chill forums. The Gaming forum should be used for discussing games. Period. If you want to make a discussion about the team behind Indiana Jones, why not go start a thread on it in the appropriate forum?

The thread is about the release of the game and all of the in-game content, gameplay, graphics, reviews, etc..

When the dev injects politics into the game, how is that not a fair topic of discussion? It's a movie franchise. Should we not discuss whether it does or doesn't mesh with the Indiana Jones movies because, after all, those aren't games either?

How bout we let people discuss whatever aspects of the game they want? What would the harm be?

Because the mass majority of gamers aren't interested in politics of the game. We are interested in playing the game and beating enemies, monsters, etc.. getting loot, exploring, etc..

Sure, in another thread aimed at only discussing that part.

The harm is I have to scroll past all the politics in order to filter out comments of people talking about the aspects of the game itself instead of someone's opinion on the politics behind the game.

It's just much easier and fair for the gamers here to put that stuff into another thread. It's really not that difficult.

Should I make a different thread that says "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle --- NO POLITICS"? Because I can do that to avoid fighting over it in this thread.

Crybabies can keep crying and slurping down mainstream garbage, and I'll continue having good taste and high standards.

Nothing new? They are doing it in new games, so it is always new.

This behavior doesn't get to enjoy people giving up when it abounds with each new release, dev blog, twitter posts by said devs, and advertising of new games.

Supporting them means DEI continues to stay in games. There are plenty of users on this forum who have no idea unless we bring it up. So yeah, DEI needs to be pointed out and that needs to happen when their AAA flops barely make enough money to recoup the dev costs.

So, we point it out and then do nothing.

Unlike the idiots on Resetera, no one is pushing boycotts, just talking about what is in the game and what the devs want (for instance this is the most gay game/movie, this game/movie is not for you white men, eventually why won't white men buy these games/movies, and so on). If people want to buy it and go through a struggle session on their own dime, then fine. But we would be remiss if we had a chance to counter the bullshit during advertising and release and some poor soul bought it when they want nothing to do with it.

If you like DEI, then our discussion isn't for you. I don't like what has happened to our culture and I will stand against it. If you try and gas light about it when it comes from the mouth of the developers, then expect push back for pretending it doesn't exist.

I think it will live and die on its own merits, once the reviews are out. Dragon Age was a existing game franchise and also strong political over tones that some will have been attracted to.

If this game is say 80%+ I will be buying.

You'd think a strong and well know IP like Indiana Jones, being a first party Xbox game, shouldn't have 86% worse pre-orders than the very troubled Veilguard that already had very disappointing pre-order numbers.

BUT it's a GamePass game that releases on Xbox and PC first. Many don't pre-order because they'll get it on GamePass, so pre-order numbers might be misleading to some degree.

To be fair it's more of a console game and you can play it for free on gamepass.
It won't be easy to tell if it's a bomba because of GP but I feel the game will come and go and in 6 months no one will remember it.
I don't think it will be horrible but everything I have seen makes it feel like a mid 2000s game. Look stealth. Look turret scene. Look first person platforming. Just feels like been there done that.
 
Looks like only 14 days to go! So stoked. It feels like forever ago that I bought the pre-order and downloaded it. The icon on my home screen is such a tease.
