Offtopic a second btw, but from the OP line of "my phone keyboard is glitchy" do you encounter a bug where the auto correct replaces words after you've typed them on this site? Like where auto correct effectively makes shit of your post if you let it do its thing on here.

 

Edit - I will admit after hearing people complaining that Kingdom come deliverance had those "issues" I am actively looking to buy a copy for the ps4 :D

Yeah, Not only does it autocorrect the wrong words but it auto corrects to words I've typed correctly to gibberish and often conjoins words into one not allowing me to separate them. 

 

As for Kingdom come, it's good but be prepared for many, many bugs and and unfinished story. Always chexk your save before you exit and if in doubt double save. I lost at least a few hours over multiple saves glitches and once had to leave my ps4 running until an issue eventually worked itself out. Still, even with all thst it's a pretty good game.

Have that exact same issue when posting (only on this site) from a phone, have to check each word isn't corrupted by the thing as it moves along, haven't found a work around for it yet myself.

 

Aye I've heard that Kingdom come is pretty much a good old school Morrowwind/Oblivion type game, along with all the bugs and features those games offered back in the day, for better or worse. I did also hear that there wasn't enough coloured people in it... I think I laughed out loud when I read it.

Nope I care more about my time enjoying games than the feelings of minorities who complaint about the said game. The said game has to be good though otherwise I don't care about it to begin with. But I did not care for one nano second about the said toxic masculinity in GoW, the said racism in RE4 and the lack of LBQT characters in Uncharted 4. Nor did I enjoy saving helpless damsels in distress any less in a game as I grew up and society is disliking it. As far as the opinion of developers I don't care to much if the writing is good. Ellie being gay for example added something to the game and they didn't really went out of their way to push an agenda. When agenda pushing is too obvious I classify as bad writing and character building. So I would probably enjoy it less and will not but it anyway. I did abandon Star Wars after TLJ because I think the writing just sucks and it seems that they want to push their agenda a bit too bad. But in general something first have to be bad before I want to abandon it.

Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Depends.
If the political bias within the product jeopardize the content I won't buy, even if it's some point I approve.

Now if the producer or some members of the team have a political POW that I disagree I don't think that would interfere much. I don't like SJW and left wing, but I don't boycott all they do. I use to not buy from several SJW and Left Wing oriented product because the product they make doesn't meets my needs/wants.

I take politics into consideration when purchasing games.

Though I have the opposite feel as you.

I'd certainly aim to support anything Jessica Price is involved with due to the recent situation.

Alternatively I am making a point to not purchase anything by some other Devs for their misogynistic/racist rants. Devs who I will not mention in this forum.

yeah fuck those morons.

Wouldn't buy from these morons...

Funny part is he say he won't be polite/peaceful because now is wars, but at the first aggression any LGBTetc suffers (doesn't matter by who) he will claim homophobia and demands police protects them and that they are peaceful and only want to be respected, etc.

Some people really tarnish the fight they do.

Political? I can't say that's happened yet, but it's possible I suppose. If I genuinely don't like somebody though, I'll not but a product associated with them. Not buy it hard. If Phil Fish hadn't retired, I'd gladly skip anything he made. I won't touch a product Randy Pitchford is involved with. Jessica Price is totally worthy of joining that club.

Dumb people use social media and voice their opinion as if the opinion of the company who employs them. Companies need to take action in such cases.

For me, I avoid games that have their content cut during the localization process. I'd like to play the game as what the creators intended.



I bought Kingdom Come Deliverance purely to support the devs. I salute them for not backing off like cowards when the big SJW backlash took place.

And whoever hires Jessica Price will be dead to me.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
