Old World Blues came out just when the "I HECKIN LOVE SCIENCERINO AND POP CULTURRE REFERENCES XD " Futurama Redditspeak was slowly going mainstream on video games and "geek" circles, and then in 2012 and 2014 Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy respectively released as the 9/11 of Hollywood film writing. !g*mers
Having a coherent plot alone makes it good for vidya writing. Maintaining that in an RPG with player choice puts it up there with the best written 90s cRPGs. That's how dire vidya writing is. If you think a ton of other games are better written I want to know what they are.
It gave like half of the s alive today boners when they selected "female" during character creation. It changed the trajectory of society more than any other game.

The game is pre-doomed because Microsoft is spending money making games for years to give them away free on gamepass and then get mad they're not making money off that. It'll go the way of hi-fi rush where Microsoft will blame Obsidian for their own r-slurred business practices then shutter them to be a B team support crew for the new elder scrolls (which they will give away free on gamepass then get mad about not making money)

BIPOCs saying go woke go broke as if these games would have ever been relevant either way.
Culture war r-slurs never talk about games that the average person has actually heard of.
Tbh if you all you have to do is not play a clearly dogshit game and dunk on redditors to win the culture war, why wouldn't you? There is literally no downside.
This is the strangest cope, and even stranger is it's always spouted out by nong*mer normBIPOCs who are like a decade behind the times. Like let me guess you're still busting your load over Skyrim right?
The worst part about it to me is that there are grown adults out there who expend energy and get genuinely angry over there being black people in video games. Genuinely thinking they're making a difference in a culture war they made up over the sales numbers of literal toys made for children
The chuds get distracted by black man in video game and never just get to the point about why vidya games suck. The writers are garbage nepo babies who never should have gotten hired ever. The really bad DEI stuff is a symptom. Banning DEI won't make games better, the writers will just put another pet cause sloppily glued into the stories of their games.

This isn't a Bioware situation, even if the game is a massive flop , Obsidian also made Grounded which is apparently one of the most popular gamepass games
I can see it with Grounded, the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" game definitely has a nostalgic appeal. It's a chill survival game and most people probably lose interest after 4-5 sessions anyways so perfect for gamepass. It's fun enough but you can't even tell it's a game by Obsidian, like that shitty tank game they made years back.

It really is. I have no idea how can anyone go through Old World Blues DLC and NOT cringe. They'd have to be a terminal redditor.
