Normal looking men was (still is) actually remarkable in gaming and with gamers being mostly men and average age of gamers being 35+ it was a genius move to create those characters at that time. The target audience was big.Joel is a generic bearded man, he's not remarkable looking at all, neither is Ellie, neither is Nathan Drake...they're just normal looking men
I played TLOU1 on PS3 as a regular dad, Joel Edition obviously, and the whole story hit hard in every way for me.
Uncharted was great too, I've always loved Indiana Jones and playing as Nathan Drake was as close as I could get.
But creating a bald woman today?… idk isn't that like having Trump-haters as the target audience? I don't see average men or average women or average teenager being excited for that type of character.
