You must’ve been watching a different trailer than me as I didn’t see any of that. Shaved head aside. Gosh, a shaved head. Alien 3 was what, 30 years ago? What a world we live in.

You aren't terminally addicted to watching the same Youtubers telling you what to get upset about. Same talking points, same drivel, same handful of posters.

It really is about time mods give them their own thread so they can work themselves up about DEI oppression or whatever victim mentality nonsense they're whining about this week.

Sadly most of the times they aren't breaking any rules, but please report any posts that are either downright offensive or too far off topic and I'll try and clean them up.

Where is the rule that a "strong independent woman" always has to look like a man now though ? Its just a different stereotype now. Shaved head, smoke cigars, has a face that looks like a smacked arse etc etc.

It’s not just that. They also pick some of the worst male traits to insert into their characters. “A picture is worth a thousand words”
Resting bitch face while sucking on straw tells us a lot. They weren’t brave enough to turn the comments on!!

Or we end up having the 'low sodium" versions of each thread where people just speak about the game and its mechanics rather than the politics.
I'm not a fan of echo chambers either way, but it's a shame when the threads get derailed over one thing and useful or engaging discussion is drowned out by Asmongold followers.

I watched that teaser trailer and my overriding response was “this looks cool”

Then I went to Reddit and lolled at the hate. On the strength of a video snippet that is out of context and without any further information, the internet experts have already deduced this game will be a massive flop because the main protagonist is a butch lesbian skinhead, and that’s just not attractive to men.

Smh.

There’s studies out there that dispite the modern day social norms. Women will pick a feminine character despite it being hyper sexualised over female character that displays masculine traits. So just to say it’s a male thing is incorrect.

I don’t believe the game will flop and very interested to see the games sales and will it continue the downward trend.

Even if it does flop Naughty Dog will just release The Last of Us part 1 for the 4th time.
 
Well it’s a fantasy. People are free to be whoever they choose to be if the game lets them (as in life?). If it is a fixed protagonist then it is up to us whether we choose to buy into that or not. Personally I couldn’t give a flying who the protagonist is as long as the game is sound. And I can only judge a thing once I’ve experienced it and played it. Which is the complete opposite of what is going on at the moment.
 
Well I for one am happy to see some realism and accuracy as akshually long hair is a right PITA in zero-G and accomodating helmets etc.

Although apparently a shaved head does create issues with other helmets :)

You still grasping onto that fantasy that TLOU2 was a flop I see, because of some misinterpreted numbers from a leak years ago?

As far as I’m aware part two was profitable on day 1.

You can take a broader look at the gaming market in general. New triple A’s IP’s that’s not built on a previous games success are struggling and have been for a while.
