Really putting the “narrative” in narrative-driven games. |
so a lot of characters that end up being in the game are just there as a token without any real substance.I hate when they try to force a viewpoint someone's throat. They don't have to wonder when gamers don't buy their games then. I believe there can be a good story with minority characters, but putting them in for the sake of having them in the game is like . . . the very thing these advocates claim to work against. damned if you do, damned if you don't. |
How does this compare to their standards for film and television? |
Imgine the two brothers who made Cuphead.<br>If they wanted a bafta..... how the hell would they made Cuphead?! JEEEBUS!,(reply>), One of them would need to change sex.<br>And probably race<br>And religion<br>And spice things up by chopping off one of his limbs. |
Just to let you know, you had 2 xbox game pass ads, a grammarly ad and a raid shadow legends ad which I am sure you love having that ad before your videos. I know you can't control them, just thought you would like to know. |
people should make a inverse awards for not getting none of those sjw dumb ass ones. |
there are still idiots who believe it's nothing but a conspiracy and a lie? |
BARFTA just pulled the biggest 200 IQ move by informing gamers what to avoid in the future. This is the most honest mainstream games journalism im current year. Hats off to them for projecting what will be on the shit list year in, year out |
South African Reparations: BAFTA Edition 🇿🇦 |
i can see someone making a bafta edition of a indie game to meme marker that person's game |
Well its safe to say that the BAFTA 2021 awards are gonna an empty affair |
Typical pathetic sycophants trying to control others. |
Just so people know. BDO has some serious monetization issues. The way you increase your power is to get "boss armor" from boss drops and then upgrade them. Getting them to a competitive level require some frustrating amount of rng or a massive grind to purchase the weapon. Of course this rng can become less frustrating if you purchase certain items from the cash shop. Also if you want your character to look different you have to purchase skins from the cash shop. |
This is about the earasing of his'tory. <br><br>To the extent that no one will be able to find out what happened last week let alone hundreds of years ago. <br><br>The world has gone Nucking Futs.<br><br>Thanks again UEG. |
Well, somebody dumber then dirt is now in charge over there. |
Games and movies awards have been corporate shill shows and political extremism activism and completely out of touch what average consumer likes for many years. They just put it in writing.<br>Do any of us real gamers care what game gets a cookie from some old journo in a suit who probably couldn't even finish HL1 intro tram ride? |
Under these criteria Hollow Knight - a masterpiece of a game that i still think is the best game of 2017 - wouldn't be able to qualify. This is fucking mental. Or any game made by one man team - like Axiom Verge or Bright Memory. How can you have 50/50 men and women and when you are alone?<br><br>I think there is a good reason gamers don't hold BAFTA to a high standard.,(reply>), @Divinity Gaming So?,(reply>), Nier Automata came out in 2017. Just a reminder :) |
If you like MMOs and anime tiddies, Black Desert is for you. |
"Video starts at <a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw9lmEp7Q6E&t=2m00s"">2:00</a>" |
screw BAFTA. i never even heard of them until this video. lets make a better one lol |
Red dead redemption 2 is an amazing game. 100% of playable charcaters are male. why? becuase most outlaws in the late 1800s were male. There is one couple. it is not lgbtq+. it is not set in uganda. disqualified. i feel like they're missing the point, the point of these awards is to tell players ”These games are REALLY good, play them” not ”dude that game has no people of color” |
Indie devs must identify as a genderfluid intersex cookie monster to qualify? |
When awards no longer reward merit, gameplay, and quality, they become a mark of shame instead of a badge of honor. Having an Oscar or Bafta associated with your work now means being disgraced, not being honored.,(reply>), But normal audiences or so called casual gamers will take this award credit seriously and say oh this game didn't have bafta award and it looks crap and borring anyway won't buy it. I have already seen this happen to me and this type of shit will only get worse in the future.,(reply>), It's credentialism, a way of gaming the system so that woke devs can convince uninformed businessmen that their games are worth investing in. The same thing happened in comics and fantasy literature.,(reply>), Exactly. If this BAFTA outline becomes an actual thing I'll skip titles sporting a BAFTA tag on principal. You hire on talent, period. When you don't you get shit like Kennedy's Star Wars.,(reply>), We were wondering what will happen to the generation raised on participation trophies. Now we know.,(reply>), Add Pulitzer too. All garbage. |
Let's cancel culture BAFTA. Don't watch it. Period. |
Well that's the British government for you. One dude made a indie film and to get a release license. So he made a 8 hour film of paint drying. and they had to watch it |
Local activists eh I think the local sons of Europe are doing a soup kitchen. |
T-There's no political agenda happening, biggot! |
I understand the need for sponsors... But BDO is really not a game you want to try and sell to your audience. It's a pay to skip ridiculously long grinding and the PvP is pay to win. It's really not much better than RAID. |
Yikes. |
Don't forget the fact that BAFTA is basically saying that anyone who is LGBETC <b>must</b> out themselves. All of these statistics, from the 50/50 to the 10% deaf or disabled are so counterproductive to how you might actually run a dev team or just a creative group. My MA program isn't 50/50 male/female and I don't see my (sadly) SJW school trying to rectify that by recruiting more men (because only a handful of nut bars like myself decided to try their hand at a Master's program during this outbreak and we have an odd number of students in my class instead of an even one, and <b>even so</b> we have more females instead of males.) |
So 2021 BAFTA nominations are going to be a list of games and companies to avoid - as they put identity politics ahead of creative integrity. Got it. |
This reminds me about kingdom come and the whine about it having no blacks :D |
And yet, the judging panel will still be predominantly middle-aged, white men. Coz, hypocrisy. |
Sheer marxist madness |
"2020 was a illogical year", Spock |
Welp, let's just hope that no games qualify and their show becomes irrelevant |
So BAFTA is forcing game companies to up front ask thier employees what their sexual preference is. Without even talking % to fit a quota for applying for an award, I find it very problematic that a company even asking this question in the first place. |
7 thumbs down. They must be from that awards team. Lol |
Give em an inch and they take a mile. |
As someone who is LGBT+, i am so fucking sick of the pandering. Judge games based on how they are, not by the minority groups and stuff in them. Equality will never happen at this rate. |
I understand that BAFTA is not a US entity, but the entire 'Standard B' section would get American companies sued into oblivion. To qualify, employers would have to deliberately discriminate (Which is against federal law) to meet an arbitrary quota. Even asking about orientation so they can know if they qualify wouldn't end well, since anything that happens to the LGBTQ employees after that could easily be construed as discriminatory. |
They don't even know what video game is?<br><br>Their awards mean absolutely nothing. |
What? |
video game companies have to stand up and say No to these people. Enough of them have to boycott BAFTA and show they won't tolerate them. Until then they will continue this crazy Ideology. |
"<a href=""https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw9lmEp7Q6E&t=2m49s"">2:49</a><br>Well it is settled: Last of us 2 will win this award because Druckmann made sure to check all those boxes (but not write a plot worth a damn or innovate gameplay)",(reply>), Xell Dincht and I bet $20 that the last of us 2 wins a large majority of the awards including best storytelling. |
Everyone's bringing up these bs standards while i'm all like:<br>wtf is BAFTA and why should i care? |
Every single video game must now start by saying where the gay and black people are. And games can't be made by 1 person anymore. Gotta hire a lady to just exist and put her name in the credits. |
While this does seem restrictive, this doesn't have any effect on eligibility for the 2021 awards. It could be a list of what is encouraged instead of this has to be in your game. |
So, if I want a story, in Poland, I have to put a Japanese gay dude? Is that how I like the boot? |
And this, right here, is why any sort of equality movement makes me nervous nowadays. It's not enough that the immediate, real problems are addressed.<br>Now we have a minority using this as an excuse to draft arbitrary, nearly impossible standards to force people to conform to their beliefs, regardless of the harm if will cause to any given industry. I realize that BAFTA isn't a large an influential organization, but it really just needs to start somewhere without any real challenge. Remember the loot crate controversy, and how 'small' it seemed at the start? Cause this is giving me some flash-backs of it.,(reply>), @jocaguz18 out of curiosity, do you understand the difference between equality and equity?,(reply>), It really a step backward. In my country and pretty sure most, you are not even allowed to ask about people's disabilities or sexuality, unless it needed for the job. Do these people expect we go backward an add this when we hire people. |
Ugh! My brain is literally melting by reading the stupidity of these criteria's! Quality of a product: Not important! As long as you check all our boxes you win! |
sjws never buy games so why should devs listen to them?? |
Oh this is hilarious |
man, history books will certainly have some weird chapters in them.<br>oh wait, most professors are left leaning. LMFAO |
Meet joe, the 50-50 gender balanced 10%lgbtq 7%deaf hero thats going to save the world. Set in a fantasy game with Literally 0 fantasy elements, and everything and everyone is equally equal in every way, but we also get to do what we want because diversity.<br>BAFTA: sounds like game of the year!<br><br>Who would even want an award from these idiots anyway? |
Shouldn’t be a surprise, everything else is getting hijacked and it was only a matter of time before gaming awards would get hijacked and seek to control game content. |
Wonderful. More SJW gibberish. |
Fuck game awards if those "rules" will be the norm to achieve one tbh.<br>Way to kill creative freedom and hiring based on the best person for the job. |
Well its an anti-award now i guess. If the game is not qualified for BAFTA we know its a good game. |
Remember kids: This is why you dont do drugs. |
wow |
These awards mean nothing. Just an excuse for the upper class to show off things they don't understand |
Like I would ever sacrifice my creative freedom for a half ass award show I've never heard of until now. |
No shock. This is coming from a country where they fine or jail comedians for being offensive. Sounds like their is a career for grant writing for games now though. I'd rather make money than win an award. |
So in other words: no more creativity, no more artistic ability just political correctness. Absolutely absurd! |
Yupp, the world is turning into a real insane-asylum real fast nowadays... 🤮 |
“We set out to create a game that could be nominated for the bafta’s but we instead changed it up and decided to make a good game”,(reply>), THERE YOU GO! |
Never heard about Bafta giving gaming awards , and I guess it's for good reason |
Ultimately all awards are really just groups trying to promote and spread their opinions, it's unfortunate but not unexpected they went this way. Awards still have a lot of marketing value, but it's been getting more obvious over the years how subjective they really are. |
legit not a single minority wants to be represented in a way thats forced. i think people would be far happier being represented in a way thats not forced and out of the games own choice not becaus they felt bad so lets include them. |
Don't let this mind controlling freaks decides what the best it should be the Gamers themselves. |
I thought it was the LITERAL NAZIS who suppressed art which didn't suit their politics.<br><br>How the turntables..... turn.,(reply>), They aspire to be the modern day nazis. |
ah yes the token |
This is what happens when non-gamers think they know what games should be like. |
Remember when they kept saying that they weren't "coming for your games"?<br><br>That statement aged like milk, didn't it?,(reply>), @TvDootMan.27 yeah but game of thrones 50 shades of gray and many other movies and shows perfectly ok to show WAPE apparently but not pron<br>DOUBLE STANDARDS SUK,(reply>), Left out in the midday sun.,(reply>), @jocaguz18 but its FAKE and other shows can damn near show everythings on screen like game of thrones and many movies,(reply>), They're not really coming for your games, this is all for a pointless and meaningless award that traditionally has nothing to do with games. Like many other film and television awards, the whole process is corrupt and basically relevant primarily to industry insiders and not anybody else. The restrictions prevent any meaningful competition for the award, so the award is extra meaningless.,(reply>), It's always been a gaslighting operation. "Nothing's going to happen, you're crazy, you're paranoid" they say, and for many, by the time they realize it was a lie, it's already too late. |
So basically<br>dont buy the game that they tell you is good<br>GOT IT! |
BAFTA trying to be relevent by covering games now? lol kay |
thats a platinum trophy nobody will be gettin |
Mia Mamma, Gaming is becoming more political and sensitive then...Well...Politics and Sensitive people. What a day. |
What's next? Requiring a WWII video game to have historical mission where you swapped out several highly trained Telemark commandos that skied across Norway to infiltrate a hydro plant making heavy water for the German nuclear program, sneaking into the compound and blowing the building undetected, later separating and escaping Norway without capture through amazing bravery and skill, thus probably preventing the Germans from having a nuclear bomb, with a mother and daughter blowing shit up?..... Oh, wait... That seems familiar.... |
"A 50-50 gender balance", My, My; how transphobic of BAFTA, not taking into account the infinite spectrum of genders when considering games for awards...,(reply>), @jocaguz18 The only fact that you had to go to literal mutations to make your non sense work show how binary sex/gender is.,(reply>), @jocaguz18 Binary in its pure form, without the context of computers, can be used to describe any dualistic contrast/comparison. For example, male/female, awake/asleep, light/dark, good/evil, Windows/Mac, Xbox/Playstation, etc.,(reply>), @jocaguz18 but intersex people is either male or female dominant,(reply>), Or skin color. Calling it diversity but basically all what is done is gender switching, with the overwhelming number of characters in single player games being caucasian and even resorting to whitewashing. The Doctor killed by Joel at the end of The Last Of Us is clearly not a white man, but they changed his skin color in TLOU2 to as pale as possible, making the playable character Abby of white skin color. The hypocrisy is blatant.,(reply>), Thing is they throw all "other" genders with women because it is not about empowering women but it is about the arguments of "The Privlaged" vs "The Marganilized". Guess who is the "bad guys"? |
most of what they call "games" are just one step removed from a movie.<br>casuals are a cancerous growth, and we need new terminology for ACTUAL games.,(reply>), The only thing I'm missing from watching let's plays of those types of games are pressing the buttons for the next scene.,(reply>), @LeafLizard 'Visual Playthrough' perhaps.,(reply>), MATCHLESS more like interactive videos,(reply>), Nah, those 'videogames' should just be renamed to 'videos'. We were here first, get the fuck away from my video games. |
Who cares about BAFTA? |
Forced Diversity being shoved down our throats as usual, coming from someone with Autism who didn't care when movies like The Predator has an autistic child character or Overwatch making one of their characters autistic (Symmetra). |
I will even consider banning any game that gets recognized by BAFTA...<br>SUPPORT INDIE DEVS!!! |
This is what happens when you put rich aristocrats in a position over the everyday person. This is the new aristocracy. Thank goodness they know better than us peasants. |
wow did reeeesetera write this or some woke lunatic who god crazy with power |
This perfectly illustrates the difference between Equality and Equity. |
B ritish<br>A cademy for<br>F ilm and<br>T elevision<br>A ctivism |
Where's the link to the document? |
Sounds like this would make the most boring contrived SJW BS game ever. Not to mention a business that is not going to be profitable in the least. |
Traaash |
Ok so Bafta is entirely irrelevant from now on |
Does anyone really care about these awards though?,(reply>), The problem is what if a good game wants to be a part and adds this shit to pander and get the award. This is pure cancer. |
Disgusting. |
Seriously, this is absolute insanity. I know of several (actual) progressive writers and creators that would get banned from this, in fact most of them would as they have actual standards when it comes to art. |
BAFTA are trying to make themselves relevant again since never. |
Lol, they pretty much just sabotaged their own award, literally no one will ever win it unless they flex the rules hard, slowly it will slip into obscurity. |
Who cares how a film and television association assesses games lol |
Arent discriminatory hirings like we only hire male or female or alphabet ppl against the law ? |
