Okay, so the hair isn’t doing her any favors, but so fucking what? That’s just personal opinion, and it’s no reason not to buy the game.
Speak for yourself, I love a woman with an Outer Rim perm
Women with any kind of visual character has become shorthand for “we’re about to push our political agenda down your throat and call you a bigot if you don’t pay us for the privilege”
so while it’s not great to judge a book by it’s cover … that’s the entire point of the cover.
Braindead take
I get that’s the hype, but honestly, have you ever actually been called a bigot?
This shit gets astoundingly spicy, multiple groups planting extremely firm flags against each other. Somehow an attractive female character is a sign of the culture war. Both having one and not having one, it’s honestly very crazy and appears to be mostly a phenomenon on YouTube and Twitter/X.
But yeah, people be throwing every insult in the book at eachother, it was not uncommon to be referred to as a transphobic bigot on the last one of these (Hogwarts legacy). It’s not uncommon to get referred to as a misogynistic bigot on this one.
I’m trying not to engage, and if I actually want to play something that’s involved in one of these stupid fights (stellar blade now, Hogwarts then, or one of the games on the SBI detected group), I have to hide it on steam. Just cause I’m not sure if I’m gonna have to block one of my friends for being a fucking moron and both groups are rabidly angry at each other. Whether it’s legitimate or not, I don’t give a fucking shit!
Yeah it’s totally crazy anyone would call jk Rowling a transphobe! /s
JK Rowling is for sure a transphobe, the backlash against that game (sales Numbers showed how many people have a shit about that connection) was stupid.
The arguments were just something you agree with, I just wanted to play the game without engaging in the ridiculous and over the top backlash.
It’s all the same shit, someone doesn’t want me to play a game cause they have some fucking issue, and I don’t care what it is! Big tits, the involvement of story consultants, the writer of the original story went insane, none of those things affect the game for me.
You gave a transphobe money and you don’t care. That’s what you just said. Yeah, shocker anyone could get upset about that
Yeah see, you are one of those terminally online freaks who actually engage in this fucking nonsense. No one cared, everyone still bought the game, they just agreed with you to not get in an argument.
Same with these freaks against sweet baby Inc, or people against stellar blade because of the model, or some idiot getting mad the main character has a natural bone structure.
This shit only plays on these spaces, including Twitter and YouTube.
Yeah every game I don’t buy screams “bigot!” As I scroll by it on steam… and the doctor says I need meds! Pfft
Whatever that thing is it’s hideous
Who cares about the face? It’s the 130$ price tag that’s really off-putting.
Damage control. The publishers want to put the incels on blast to divert attention away from the price tag backlash.
WTF? I hadn’t heard that. Yeah, that’s something I might buy when it’s on sale for 15 Euro or so. I can wait.
It is $70 for the standard edition, quit being disingenuous.
Collectors editions and the like have existed since the inception of video games.
You stood in front of their manufactured outrage and now you must pay the price!
70$ for a gimped version of the game. They deliberately took out content (season pass, 2 extra missions, etc.), make you wait an arbitrary amount of days longer to play and are not giving you the stuff that we used to get for free like art books.
Dont fall for their propaganda.
Simps will always run the show with regards to gaming. It’s the only thing they feel they have control over. So when a game doesn’t have a 15 year old waifu with double D’s, it’s instantly trashed.
Except they don’t have any control over it and just whine loudly. At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if a game becomes popular because the makers push back against these losers.
They have enough control to cause a lot of developers to either not have women protagonists at all, or to make them supermodels just to cater to the neckbeards.
We’ve only just now gotten to the point where gender is becoming irrelevant in games. We’re decades away from the simps allowing normal looking female protagonists in “their” games without protesting/boycotting.
I’ve seen a couple of pics of the character and god damn she is soooooo my type. At that point I’m guessing every women that’s doesn’t look a 12 years old or have gigantic boobs and some asian baby face are considered ugly by “gamers”? Are all the gamer’s mom ugly?
They’re obviously going for a ripley-esque archetype which definitely does appeal to people.
Soft butch pan women tend to really do it for me. Not a fetish or anything, just an observation about myself.
Right! My first thought was that this character (I know nothing about this game/franchise) is hot as hell.
Nobody is ever going to be everyone’s type, so who cares if she’s not “hot” to these gamerbros. The writers, artists and devs are focused on making a good character and a good game. It’s not like this is a dating sim designed to provide fan service to a wide audience, I’m guessing based on the genre, this character is not there to turn you on, so who cares if she doesn’t.
If you can’t stand to play a game without a character you find hot in it, That’s what cosmetic mods are for.
Let the rest of us have our sexy soft butch women, and our realistic examples of what women look like.
Hot take: Others want games to be superhero stories and others want games to be normal people stories.
No need for conflict as people are different and seeking different things.
My Rocket League character is a normal super hero. The character development is fairly deep.
Yeah but the former is loud, obnoxious and misogynistic about it. Whereas the latter is only heard from to call out the former.
She’s better-looking than Luke Skywalker.
Don’t play the game because it’s gonna be some microtransaction bullshit not because you find the mc unattractive.
The ugly part is the price for the special editions. I’m sure there’s going to be some ugly surprises post launch. I’ll wait a few months and see what it’s like then.
Smh, people need to chill out. I think she’s beautiful.
I’m not going to buy it because it’s overpriced, has season passes, and will almost certainly be infected with Denuvo malware… because Ubisoft just has to ruin everything they touch.
The MC looks awesome, though.
And the game looks like it was designed by The Algorithm.
Less concerned with how the character looks than I am the email Ubi sent me making it look like a live service game.
Dunno if it is or is not, but if it is, I’m out.
Looking at a quick gameplay video, it doesn’t look like one.
But then Ubisoft have done this bullshit since about AC Unity where they have a single player game, with maybe half a dozen multiplayer missions in it, advertises to both single player and multiplayer enjoyers, and manages to appeal to neither group.
There was one in FC6 you could do solo, and right near the end my PS5 disconnected from the internet and reset all my progress, so I never touched that fucking bullshit ever again. Shame, because it was an interesting dinosaur theme park level that wasn’t present in the main game.
You know they had a team of people design that
I’d guess AI. I want to see her hands.
In the future cops are gonna say “Hands up” to check if you’re AI lmao
My hands comment was removed by AI. I still want to see them.
and the mod comment was “weirdo”… it was from AutoMod!
Yeah mine was removed for the same thing.
Something tells me that’s not a ‘female gamer’
It was calling the other girl “chick” for me
Never heard that from a women, only dudes
Eh, it happens sometimes. My boss (a woman) referred to a vendor’s reps as “those broads” just yesterday, it made me crack up.
If I’ve told them once, I’ve told them a thousand times… Never call chicks, “broads”.
Nah, individual gamer girls can be pickmes if they want. Equal opportunity shittiness 💚
True, but it’s just giving ‘as a black man’ but is actually a white guy vibes.
Wow… Guess we are lucky PacMan is sexy AF otherwise no one would have played it.
