A NEW HORSE GAME WENT VIRAL - Legend of Khiimori | Pinehaven

Honestly with all this drama going on I’d still love to play this game, I’m such a sucker for a game with amazing graphics :)

[@poppy_pixie]

also wanna add on the topic of the look of the horses: I feel like their decision to add a typically warmblood looking horse to the game might have largely been influenced by people's negative opinions on the OG mongolian horse model that they had in the game. Which means, that even though the warmblood model would have been added with the goal to appeal to more people, we would then have to put the blame for this decision on the consumer base that ended up pressuring the devs to add a "prettier" horse model. The models were historically accurate before, but people simply didn't like the look of them and prioritised "aesthetics" over "historical accuracy". So the devs listened to this "criticism", which is what we typically WANT from our devs, we want them to listen. It's just that the fanbase's criticism, in this case, came from a place of superficiality and (some) ignorance on historical accuracy. So yeah, I don't think I would blame the devs for this personally, I would blame the fanbase for influencing them to make prettier horses :/

[@VoidViking]

I would agree that this was added because of pressure. I feel like a lot of so called ‘horse girls’ actually haven’t been around or know much about horses as real live animals. Or in the use of horses historically, not to say that horses weren’t bred for their looks in history because obviously they were and are but they were firstly bred for their use as working animals primarily: transportation, agriculture/food, war. These horses aren’t here to look ‘pretty’ (although I personally would argue against Mongolian horses being ugly) these animals are an integral part of the lives of these people and western audiences should be open to maybe learn and experience a fraction of it. Also there are so many different kinds of horses it’s nice to see some lesser known ones in a game for once.

[@baekhsong]

nothing i hate more than horse game fanbase. first thing theyll comment is how the horse looks wrong. can we start thinking about gameplay already??

[@baekhsong]

also can i just add, in real life youll rarely find a 'pretty' horse. most time they look ugly and relaxed, not prancing with tails in the air and ears forward lol

the horses look perfect for 13th century Mongolia. Oh! so glad you figured that out. I think they are adorable!

[@Alteori]

2:05 That's exactly why I bought the games RDR2, Harvest moon, Breath of the Wild and Shadow of the Col. Aside from G1 Jock and the entire Gallop racer series, I enjoy horse games where they are a big part of the game! 4:26 LMAO!!! Look 😂😂😂😂 I am one of those who will, and has, openly admit that a lot of modern games are failing because they focus on the wrong things and tokenize characters or insult the audience, HOWEVER, this whole reaction bc she has "she/her" in her bio is ... yeah I dunno what to call it lol. First thing I thought was, YES!!! CAN WE GET A GAME LIKE THIS WHERE THE HORSE ANIMATIONS LOOK DECENT AND WE CAN OPEN WORLD WITH OUR HORSES? How did they go all the way over to the pronoun thing? None of that was in the marketing and she was clearly being sarcastic lol. Omg whatever, I want the horse game NOW!!!!

[@Vardau-Ollie]

I dont care as what kind of character I play as cause. well.. it is a game! As long as the character is well written, game is good. I dont care if I am playing as a male like Arthur Morgan from RDR2, a girl like Ellie from TLOU or even an Alien thing like Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank.

[@raine1323]

I’m really glad you brought this up, and tbh I don’t think anyone else could’ve worded it better. But! With the draftier horses, I think they are so gorgeous! It seems like every horse game now primarily uses warmbloods and other taller, thinner breeds. And I hate it! I can see how you find arabians gorgeous, but I absolutely hate them- so please don’t discourage devs from using stockier breeds, I think the ones in now LoK are already absolutely stunning!

[@jennynoelle6782]

Lack of combat doesn't really mean we wouldn't be getting stuff like mounted archery or hunting, or that the world would be inherently peaceful. The Windstorm games are pretty story-heavy. So, what it likely means is that you, the player, won't be fighting others, on horseback or otherwise. Which makes sense. You are literally 'the messenger'.

[@gamerzilla6113]

​​Hey Mongolian here! It is very strange that controversy is about pronouns since the Mongolian language uses neutral pronoun to refer to people and objects, and it can be specified by adding names of the gender after pronoun. Also in the 13th century Mongol Empire being gay was a crime so they executed all of them. And Khimor refers to the human spirit. In Tibetan Buddhism, it is a symbol of good fortune and glory.

[@Fizziepop]

I LOVE their take on the mongol horses! They are really, really well done - I think a much better artists rendition of the mongolian horse than the IRL version, tbh. I also like the optional warmblood as some extra choice there. The way the horse looks - while it should be only a minor consideration IRL, is of great import in a horse game! That's part of the fun of a game. Taking IRL things and embellishing on them! It's where we can be frivolous and purchase solely based on looks if we want to. Because it's a game. Makes it fun!

[@iFlutterbye]

Pronouns for the protagonist usually means character creator. I love a self-sona. Gimme gimme! 💗

[@AbigailPinehaven]

I adore the word self-sona

[@djgroopz4952]

I think it's a bit immersion breaking. You don't want to have to much "self Sona" in a historic game. In this game it's more immersive to play as someone who would be a Mongolian transporter as opposed to someone who represents your modern day self (sona).

[@iFlutterbye]

[@stormvirvel]

I'm constantly fascinated and disappointed (but not surprised really) how extremely narrow minded people are and how they can get so upset over things that doesn't even affect their life. There are no words for how sad they are honestly. That said, I think the Mongolian horses are really cute, they have kind of an odd charm to them and I think the game looks interesting. Such a shame they felt they had to add the warmbloods though. I am defo intrigued still, and I might try it when it's released :)

[@LoloB-gi7lm]

Its affecting my life. If I'd force you to call dog a cat for please me, while its obvious its a dog, you'd be mad too. Langage is used for communicate things. You make the langage unefective, heavy, which could be acceptable if it at least it turned out to give more information or give usefull detail to the personn you communicate with, but in your case its even worse because you made the words more empty as well. Can't even define woman, man, non binary, demi boy and such without going full circle because it has NO critera, no features, its a feelings to belong to something you cant even describe. So in retrurn we have this feelings to be forced to bend over backwards for really selfish people and their imaginary world. If pronoun are your "self inner identity personality" then theres a thing for it and that's called a NAME. We should be able to use a third pronoun just by looking at the personn, not having to speak with the personn, know the personn, or to ask it, what the point of using them and not name else?

[@stormvirvel]

​@@LoloB-gi7lm ​ Pronouns are just a social construction that's been created over the years, and so would the notion of being able to see by a person if they are male or female (or a third (non)gender). I don't speak for everyone who uses my pronouns or identify as agender but for me personally I am tired of labels, of classifications, stereotypes, norms. I don't accept them with a very few exceptions, and almost all of them the ones that affects my physical medical care due to my biological gender. And no, it doesn't affect you, at least not in a big way. Having to ask someone of their pronouns just because you can't see which gender identity they are classifies as mildly inconvenient and is not difficult to do. And your comparison, a cat and a dog are two animals of a different species so it's not the same thing. Also maybe I would call them differently if you told me so cause like who decided a cat should be called cat and a dog dog (but this is a totally different discussion altogether I'd say). I've struggled my whole life with my identity honestly and a few years ago I finally came to terms with it. I can tell you that's for sure not imaginary. I've personally never used my pronouns or name for my "self inner identity personality" but maybe that's just how my brain works. I don't label it at all it just exists. I only use my pronouns and name for others to call me by. This is not a subject some (to me) random person on the internet is going to change my mind about, when it comes to this, my mind is set. So this is the only reply I am going to do.

[@LoloB-gi7lm]

@@stormvirvel "and so would the notion of being able to see by a person if they are male or female (or a third (non)gender)" -the male and female ideas are true and real, if it were just "magical non existent social construct" then there would be no male and female in animals as well, especially the ones we dont interact with like wild predators. A third (nongender) doesnt exist, it would imply we reproduce with something else than eggs or sperms, like if we had a third viable reproductive system that make babies, but it doesnt exist in human. Even the intersexe fell in female or male, but their reproductive systems are deffective and you never take something deffective in order to define things. We dont say humans are blind animals or eyes are pure cosmetic because some people are blind, we say humans are sighted and some people have defective eyes. "I am tired of labels, of classifications, stereotypes, norms." Then explain why you dont fight for use pronoun and woman and man as a simple biology description for know if a personn are male and female, end of the story? Stop attach a mindset, a way to act or to feel to that. The only difference is in the body. If really you think there is no way people can use word refering to male and female without acting like ass (which I dont think), be at least consistent and fight for the use of one single pronoun and one single word to refer to everyone. "Also maybe I would call them differently if you told me so cause like who decided a cat should be called cat and a dog dog (but this is a totally different discussion altogether I'd say). " Don't you see how absurd the world would become if so? If people started to call things according to waterver they feel instead of something everyone can relate? Its fine to have different LANGAGE across a nation, a community, because we know we change a whole system, but thinking all individual should use the word they want without logic break the purpose of communication. Ive the feeling you mistake the word = the tool, with the concept, the definition behind it = the meaning. We use word in order to REPRESENT something. The important point is not the word itself, its the matter, the concept it indicate, the thing it represent. If tommorrow a group of people deceide that "tatata" design a "ginger cat", then theres no issue because they share this objective concept, this idea you can represent in your head, at a community level, "tatata" would mean something. But if they deceide "tatata" is how I feel any living creature should be called according to my mood, then its a stupid system because it comunicate NOTHING. The word exist meaningless, for itself as an empty concept. Its even worse with gender because at least my absurd "tatata" take has a critera = its a living creature, which is a notion I can represent a little, even if its super blurry. But gender? WTF is gender the way the "progressive left" use it? "I've struggled my whole life with my identity" the question is why. Why it matters more to you than, lets say, someone saying "this brown eyed personn". Why you add more value, and a mindset, to something which would only describe your body. I'm a boy, the only thing I attach to that is Ive a reproductive system which is male. I dont act, I dont have a personality, nor do activities, choose what I want to wear, or how I want to talk, or if I should use this or that according to that, my personality and wills are detached from those words because thoose words only give a physical information about me. If I were born with a female reproductive system, Id be a girl, and the only thing that would change is that Id have to go through a female body developpement at puberty. But Id like the same thing and feel the same, and i wouldnt be offended by people calling me a girl because its not my identity as "spirit" or a "brain", its a factual description, its like saying Ive two legs or I belong to the human specie, I wouldnt care more than that. And thats mindset would be the best way to not care about stereotypes or society pressure. Or the "just call everyone human and have a single pronoun" idea if you really hate any mention to sex in society and think it would turn into discrimination no matter what. But the gender madness from the left, no, thanks.

RevSaysDesu was spreading misinformation to gain views and perpetuate hate and anger within his audience. There's nothing to challenge, he was blatantly wrong.

The talk around pronouns has nothing to do with their use in English but rather the socio political implications of using desired pronouns.

[@misleroux8010]

@@djgroopz4952 When people cry about the involvement and inclusion of pronouns, it doesn't make any bloody sense because pronouns exist regardless of fear in "wokeness". Calling someone him/her/their is a simply a sign of respect. There is no removal of pronouns use within our language, it's purely willful ignorance to respect another person's living choices.

[@djgroopz4952]

@@misleroux8010 No, it's not that simple. If I told you to refer to me as "His Royal Excellence, the Supreme One", would you do it? My issue with pronouns is that I just think they're silly, at no time in history did we need to provide pronouns. Assumed pronouns for the wide majority of people are sufficient. The prevalence of preferred pronouns is over pronounced as opposed to the number of people that actually need them. In this game where you play as a historic Mongolian it's immersion breaking as it's highly unlikely that Mongolians of that time cared for such modernities. It's misplaced.

[@misleroux8010]

@@djgroopz4952 One, it had been a joke and never actually was the creator insisting there will be any actual pronouns included. She was trolling. So that's bait that people are taking and choosing to feel upset about which is hilarious. Two, one of those is egregious and the other is common decency between human beings. If someone's identity is at stake and, in my case, a student would like to be referred to as such and its not a problem with their parents then I will do my best as a caring individual to support them in their growth as a unique human being. I don't think it should be required (nor should demands be made to include it, but that's my personal privilege as a cis-woman) but that's what separates blatant assholes from people who simply don't give a shit about the argument for arguments sake so they go with it. I don't enjoy arguing these things on the internet with people I will never meet though so that's my part, I hope you can understand another perspective, but if not, it makes little to no difference to me. 🤷‍♀

ahhh i love the mongolains so much. They are such a pretty breed irl and have such amamzing coat colors and are so cute, which makes me a little sad that they added warmbloods. the mongolains made the game feel very unique, and helped create the idea of 13th centurry mongolia.

[@clairenightmoon2979]

I generally prefer warmbloods but seeing the Mongolian model, I was so happy, it’s refreshing to see a different build for the main model and I find its stockiness super cute! 🥰

[@everaven636]

When I first saw the horses for this game I was excited to see how the were not the classic horse girl pretty ponies. we have plenty of pretty pony games, I love seeing less represented breeds take the spotlight. I hope the devs opt to not include modern warmbloods, but perhaps horses of other shapes/confirmations without any need for a change in official breed. Like, why can't one horse be taller and longer legged, while another stocky? Even within a breed there are tons of variability. I think this would be a way to add western standards of "pretty horse" to the game, while not breaking historical accuracy. In addition, making these body types part of the breeding would allow the player to breed for the body type they prefer!

[@terra-bites]

Oof, wish they hadn't caved and added the period-inaccurate horse styles. Should definitely follow the Mongol Derby, lots of educational posts on top of being an incredible annual event that replicates a courier route. As a fan of that, I am excited for this game but hope it maintains its unique identity.

[@Thedarkydragoni]

Okay so even if they were adding in pronouns, (like you said) what would it change? From my understanding it'll be a singleplayer (with possible co-op to play with your friends) rather than a full blown multiplayer so.. even more- what would it change? Absolutely nothing thats for sure, it doesnt change the gameplay, it doesnt take away from the 13th century feel nor does it appear anywhere really. People act as if having different pronouns would make the game play out compleatly differently as if it was some multi-route life is strange game, its genuienly shocking how buzzed up the 'non-woke' (I hate the word woke so much) folk are by something as simple as pronouns to the point of bashing a game purely because someone made a joke about adding in pronouns- something thats purely cosmetical. About the warmbloods- personally im quite sad that they're adding them in, not because it doesnt fit the 13th century or something- but because I was hoping that that game would break the mentality of "mm tall slim warmblood pretty small stocky horse ugly" Im so tired of seeing the same breeds over and over again, tired of seeing twisted-spoon-faced arabians with twig legs (sorry not sorry I personally hate arabians with burning passion, or atleast the heavy dish pug-equivelant of arabians), tired of seeing the same fresians, the same slim warmbloods, basically the same horse shape over and over again- i'd love to see horses that get overlooked because they're not "pretty" i'd love to see draft horses that get overlooked in horse games, i'd love to see more than one or two pony breeds, i'd love to see the small stocky horses that HAVE that grace that many warmbloods lack. I love the mongolian horses as they're really similiar to my absolute favourite horse breed; Konik (a polish breed) who, by many's logic, arent pretty- and therefore i dont see in games (they're not a famous breed either but- the fact they're labeled as 'ugly' doesnt help either) like- at all, the only game to ever have the konik breed was horse isle's (honestly the only game to have any polish horse breed, which is a shame cause we have alot nice horse breeds, especially the polish arabians who have little to no dish and are one of the healthier arabian sub-types) and thats about it- and i probably wont be seeing one because... why? Because we need another game with the same repetitive horse breeds? I get that alot of horse people's favourite horses are the 'pretty' famous horse breed and I also get that in a game setting having things be visually pleasing is one of the most important things but- having multiple breeds and breed-types cut out purely because we're used to seeing warmbloods is- stupid. Its like not adding Sphinx cats, devon rex's, lykoi etc into a cat game because god forbid people see a cat that looks different than what they're used to.

In my opinion with the pronouns in this new game, it would not be this tasteful or as most people are saying woke because people have identified as lesbian gay as a different gender for centuries, but didn’t become OK to the human eye or most people until very recently there has been people since the beginning of humans who have identified as either a different gender or liking the same gender or using different pronouns, but not telling anybody about it and nobody knowing about it because it wasn’t socially acceptable Back then and I guess it is upsetting when people think that’s not how people back then were who have been like that other whole life

Personally I'm tired of pronouns being shoved down our throats. Especially if its in a HISTRICAL game. Rather you consider yourself male, female, bi, or purple with orange polkadots. I literally don't care. But you don't have to label yourself in every single little thing... Its a preference, not a religion...

[@VoidViking]

Let me put it to you another way. Your pronouns are how someone refers to you. You being like ‘I’m tired of it being shoved down my throat’ is like complaining about someone wearing a name tag. If your name isn’t Susan how would you feel if someone kept calling you Susan even when corrected? How about not one, but multiple people? Even if you tell them your name. Even if you wear a name tag so people don’t have to ask because it’s right there. And those people then complain how tired they are about you ‘shoving your name down their throats’. Why would they have a say in what your name is? It doesn’t change their name at all so why do they care? And yet they insist on calling you Susan. It literally costs a person zero energy to read a name tag. People do it everyday So instead of complaining ’pronouns in bio’ maybe just acknowledge it and move on? In a game like this you look like you play as a specific person with a likely specific gender but with a game that is customizable, again, why do you even care? Because it’s historical? I can’t speak on it specifically as I’m not Mongolian or an expert on it’s people and their history but I can tell you that some form pronouns existed as it’s literally just a word used to refer to a person or thing.

​@VoidViking Yeah what pronoun would you use for a woman? The correct answer is she/her What pronoun would you use for a man? The correct answer is he/him. And since this is a game set in Mongolia where nobody used they/them pronouns to refer to a singular person. It makes it woke

[@VoidViking]

@@darthsol658 Except you’re just being bigoted and using ‘but it’s Historical’ as an excuse to hide behind. The Mongolian language does not have gender specific pronouns in the first place, so localized you could say it is They-Them. I’ll speak no more on that as again I’m not Mongolian and you don’t deserve any more of my time.

[@asdeathmorgan2371]

I'm buying it. Just gotta hope it comes to console 😅

[@medea4828]

I disagree - adding gender ideology to a game set in the past (which says it's trying to be historically accurate) is anachronistic and immersion breaking. It may not bother you, but it bothers others and that is a legotimate position to hold

[@Oraanu]

I don't have a problem with pronouns in video games, but recently it does feel like the studios who put an emphasis on DEI are also creating the worst products and then using the "well, they're just anti-woke" excuse to deflect any valid criticism. I don't blame some people for seeing this a potential red flag, but obviously you shouldn't be like this person and jump to conclusions based off of such a trivial detail as the developer having pronouns in their Twitter bio.

Great video! 🎉

I have zero problem against diversity in games, shows, movies, etc. In fact, I think it’s amazing! The only thing that I absolutely HATE with a PASSION is when games, shows, movies, etc. add diversity simply to add diversity. If you make a game or something and it just happens to be diverse simply because the actor/voice actor/character fits the role, then great! But if you cast people simply because of their race, background, etc. then that pisses me off. Cast because of talent, not colour or pronouns. Now if you cast for talent and it just happens to be diverse, great! I just hate it with my entire soul how you look at an ad on tv and realize that now there aren’t even any white people anymore because companies think they’re gonna be cancelled if they put too many white people on screen 🤦‍♀️ 💀

[@wildwaters8348]

I'm absolutely am adding the game to my wishlist, just for Alice’s gold clawback to internet bigots

[@hawaiianpony]

Wait, so a clearly male vocal presenting youtuber using a female vtuber is *checks notes* saying a game is too woke? Not sure what they're trying to sell me on there...

[@AbigailPinehaven]

It would be hilarious if it wasn't so frustrating LOL

[@wanderingthstars]

I am excited for this game and I did even know there was pronoun beef 😂 no I’m more excited

[@keirariccioni1095]

Hiiiiiiiiiii, I love your vlogs❤❤❤❤❤

[@djgroopz4952]

My reason for the criticism is that it breaks immersion. Think about it this way, what are the odds people in historic Mongolia cared about pronouns? It's a very 2024 western idea sticking itself into archaic Mongolian times. It's out of place. The writing will be Ubisoft standard because this is a symptom of ambivalence towards the realities of the place and period you're writing about.

[@AviannaBooker-e4s]

Hii!

[@BlackOpal888]

OMG PPL ARE CRAZY WHAT😭Btw ty for not sugar coating this🙏💜 I had no idea this game blew up like this, I'm shocked this is how and it wasn't smth similar like the race of the ppl ect ect, anyways legit I do hope there is more the one gender to pick from for fuck sake it's 2024+ and I'm tired of they're only being a "female"/"girl" gender option.

i been riding horses and owned my own horse since i was 7 years old, yes im a HIM! LOL these games dont really apeal to allot 'blokes' excespt for RDR games especially as the equine industy in modern time is more pastime for a lot ladies! their men that ride in cercain cultures, i thin k more adult game based horses and care a good thing it cover every thing about horse care including sickness from colicm lanesses, sarcoids and all! in the uk horse riding is more female sport thses day, but more men are getting in to the saddle as i have seen in recent years as horse ukcc L2 riding coach. is goos think but yer more game apeling to blokes would be good as could insire more men to get in the saddle, was mass decline in the amount of men that work with horses in the uk! since the end of WW2, but hears the thing horse are still been use in the army not just for ceromanial puproses is certain circumstances still use fo carry equipment! jungle for instance so combat on horse back would be good, maybe kindon come deliverance 2 could introduce tilt yards?? 🤔 and certain amount horse care games?? that could apeal to blokes but unlikely!

first hi!

[@CNScaryGames]

I'm not trying to be mean when I say this... but, those "ugly" or "not pretty horses" are pretty to me... and saying there not pretty is an opinion... yes, many people may think they aren't pretty but to me these horses are pretty. Again, I'm not trying to be mean or rude... I'm just trying to say that by saying these horses aren't pretty it doesn't mean it's a fact and again I know there are some people who agree with that others might think they are pretty.
