People care way too much about Sweet Baby Inc., that crazed woman leading the company and all of this other shit. Spider Man 2 had some cringe in it yet was still an excellent 9.0/10 for me. 30 minutes of cringe out of almost 50 hours isn't going to change a damn thing. Other Sony games are using Sweet Baby Inc. including all of Insomniac. Their games will still be awesome. It's only when the game goes to the extreme like that Dustborn game is when the game will suck. A minimal minor influence on some shit isn't going to do anything especially when the main company (Sony/Microsoft) is spending a shit ton of cash on these games and want their money back post release.

South of Midnight looks fucking great and thankfully, isn't a massive bloated open world game. Reminds me of Kena in a lot of ways and that game is fucking great. Best of all, that stop motion aspect can be turned off during gameplay which is all I was hoping for after seeing gameplay this past June.

The main story in Spiderman was fine but the side missions were full blown voke.

Seems like some games like OverWatch and Apex dont get the same woke tax others do
Is Fortnite woke also? I don't bother with those games. I am looking at my stats. I have 33 minutes played in Apex (surprised I even tried it). My son used to play Fortnite, so not sure if it is woke or not. Never played OverWatch either.

I personally am not saying that because Sweet Baby was involved that the game isn't fun. I don't like the premise of what Sweet Baby is bringing to the table, which turns me off.

I dunno about South of Midnight; they might've been present in some part of that game but all the same, there's always the chance their suggestions have since been thrown out and the game's free of their ideological influence. But you kinda need to see more of the game's writing & story to actually determine such a thing. We need something called "evidence", after all.
I wanted to add, I don't disagree with^

It is not like there is a red line for any PlayStation game to come to Xbox either.

We are witnessing a mix of spicy shit urine business sauce these days.

Fortnite is as woke as you the player want it to be. In my observation though it seems like the antiwoke crowd can't help but engage in the woke aspects of a game. They just have be transexual in the game, because the game allows to them be...

South of Midnight was definitely one do the highlights of that Xbox conference indeed. I didn't even know people were Slandering it outside of a few kooks who were claiming too many 'POCs'.

There’s nothing revealed in these interviews. This guy talks a whole lot of nothing.

Only reason he does these is so Xbox can stay in the news cycle.

The main story in Spiderman was fine but the side missions were full blown voke.

I only didn't like the spray painting side quests and the gay side quest. Rest were fine. Main story was really good even though I do prefer 2018 and Miles more. Either way though, it's still an excellent 9.0/10 game.

I personally am not saying that because Sweet Baby was involved that the game isn't fun. I don't like the premise of what Sweet Baby is bringing to the table, which turns me off.

I understand what you're saying and I agree but unless the game is really bad, their involvement isn't going to change the game and even if it does, it will be to a minimal level. I'm about 50 hours into Dragon Age, have all the companions and while I understand the complaints with the light tone and dialogue, the game is still great and story wise, makes sense for the companions and your character to get along because you're fighting a common enemy. Everything else is great or better. Even the story itself and premise is really good. When I eventually get to the "cringe" cut scenes, they will so little of the time that im playing the game, it won't change a damn thing for me. As for South of Midnight, with or without SWI, it's a game based in the south, like Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. so it makes perfect sense having a lead black protagonist. Kingdom Come gets shitted on for not having any colored characters but it makes sense due to the time period and location. Look at Resident Evil 5, it's based in Africa and I don't remember a single white character outside of your own in Chris. So much of this discourse is always based on a few videos/images which not only are taken out of context and the overall story regardless of the game, it prevents people from actually judging the game themselves based on actually playing the game. If I went based on other people including critics, I would have quit gaming a very long time ago. So again, I get it but if South of Midnight ends up being great (im expecting low 80's on Open Critic), SWI's involvement simply isn't going to matter. Also, it's going to be a far better game than Contrast or We Happy Few ever were. lol

South of Midnight was definitely one do the highlights of that Xbox conference indeed. I didn't even know people were Slandering it outside of a few kooks who were claiming too many 'POCs'.

It's based in the south and in an older time period so it makes sense that there's few white characters in the game. It's the opposite of Kingdom Come. People just look at the game and just start bitching for whatever reason yet never do any research as to why what they're bitching about is in the game. Was definitely one of the highlights but I obviously had more than half the showcase being a highlight for me. Best Xbox Showcase ever and best showcase this generation.

Phil looks really bad. Like sickly… I’m sorta concerned to the point I won’t talk shit about him anymore but it’s also so dratic and noticeable that it hijacks the rest of the conversation for me.

Just open the floodgates already, Phil. This whole long drawn out "will they, won't they" melodrama is so tiring at this point. Just throw out all the games on Playstation and embrace being the biggest publisher in the world, and make a ton of money in the process. Stop trying to appease tiny small but loud contingent of Xtard youtubers and twitter nimrods.

Phil Spencer is aging, as everyone else on this planet will. The immaturity of some of you…

Microsoft has spelled out their plan time and time again. We’ve known this since last December, time to accept that.
