A Fucking Idiot
GoT is in my top 5 from the PS4 generation and I have literally no interest in playing this game as I do not want to play as a female warrior. Full stop.
There was a time when creating a tough, strong, stereotype-defying female lead was a bold and interesting creative choice. Today it's about the most cliche, tiresome, played out thing you can do. It's like this gen's version of the "generic bald space marine".Imagine if Tomb Raider 1 came out today.
"What is this? A woman trying to be Indiana Jones? Get outta here with this woke stuff!"
Fuckin A that's what I'm talking about. We need virile masculine heroes like these nowadays. They're a dying breed.
100% agree. wanted to like it even looking past the strong female and look how cutting edge we are with a black guy bullshit. at the end of the day, just kind of boring. run/walk miles across a map, capture a castle, words words words, fight some dude with rinse repeat combos, and so on. over and over. tired and boring gameplay.I kind of regret playing Assassin's Creed Shadows... That game was so boring and I think I'm done with realistic historical settings for now... maybe I try next year again with Yotei.
because deep down you know that GoT is a shallow as fuck game with pretty graphics to compensate, and Yotei looks more of the same so far.
yeah, if tomb raider came out today, she'd look like ellen page.There was a time when creating a tough, strong, stereotype-defying female lead was a bold and interesting creative choice.

And no, I think the reaction would be more like the reaction to Eve from Stellar Blade lol.

Is the witcher 4 woke now that geralt isn't the protagonist then? Is the tomb raider series woke because laura croft can manhandle men in the game? Nothing i've seem from ghost of yotei looks woke in the least and the protagonist looks like a normal samurai looking woman.
If this were Insomniac instead of Sucker Punch, I'd be more worried about this kind of thing. But of all games, this one with its time period and location, has no business having any of the stuff that folks are attributing it with. Might as well have aliens in it. But if it does have even a hint of the bullshit we saw in Veilguard then I'll be the first to slam the game and the dev. It would be beyond bizarre and I won't defend it.
Yeah, but the actress isn't playing herself so we nothing to go by at all. Definitely need to flesh this thing out more. I expect they will do a direct on it closer to launch.
Wait what? When the hell did this happen?

But now it has a gender confused girl boss as the protagonist to set itself apart from its predecessor, just like every other **** AAA game from western devs.
The girl boss trope needs to die. I'm tired of it. I don't want those movies, books, games, etc. Girl boss movies don't work anymore (if they ever did) and the same is true for gaming.
Samurai was a social class, and woman could be a part of it. So yes she could be a Samurai and have been trained in using the Naginata or other weapons. She could not be a retainer or lead troops or actually have fought in any wars during the time period. But a woman born into a Samurai clan who had her clan and family massacred and then travels Hokkaido (which was not part of Japan and had almost no Samurai, certainly the Ainu had none) is a good basis for a story. She would be a Ronin at best, but probably a wandering person seeking revenge at most. A ghost if you will.It's because female Samurais in a historical accurate context are bullshit. That's why.

Ian Ryan is still the returning lead writer from Tsushima. But John Dombrow and Courtney Woods worked on Dragon: Age Veilguard, Li C. Kuo previously worked on Gotham Knights (lol) and some Ubislop, Nitai Poddar worked on The Outer Worlds (bleh), and Ariadna Martinez only has one videogame credit to her name, Horizon Forbidden West.
It's pure chaos in the making.
Yeah that's pretty much how I feel too. I haven't written it off completely, but it's got that same PlayStation Studios/Modern Audiences smell to it. I'll keep my hype level at 0 until proven otherwise. Better to expect nothing and be pleasantly surprised, rather than get hyped and let down yet again.Well we just saw Santa Monica go from Bad ass Kratos fucking afrodite to Dad Kratos and whatever he is doing now in this sequel with support of sweet baby inc. Ideas.
Im just saying that at this point I personally will not give Sony studios the benefit of doubt... its all woke/modern influence shit until proven otherwise and not the other way around.
And for me the actress chosen is just one more add red flag in current Sony studios equation.
I feel the same way and it is because the main character is a female. I will like the game a lot more once I am playing it but the female MC on this hit me wrong and killed my hype. I'm still gonna buy, it will still be great, but for some reason that took the wind out of my sails too. With as few Sony games releasing as there are, that is a real shame.IDK if its just feeling burnt out on the setting, them not marketing the game well, having doubts it will be improved over part 1, and suffering from boredom of yet another she-quel. Sucker Punch deservers the hype and they never disappoint. Yet i feel meh about this game.. anyone else in the same boat?

"What is this? A woman trying to be Indiana Jones? Get outta here with this woke stuff!"
Yeah but they traveled to Japan and picked vegetables with some actual real life Ainu people. Just think how amazingly respectful and authentic it's going to be. Like a bunch of blue haired Seattle hipsters walking on eggshells as they carefully try to evade charges of cultural appropriation or insensitivity.This is indeed concerning. You can't have a bunch of writers of different profiles (some coming from the worst written game ever) and pretend they can do a good job this time. They won't.
Or elliot page.yeah, if tomb raider came out today, she'd look like ellen page.
That's another thing that annoys me. Much like with TLOU there were lots of reasons to stick and keep developing the main character in the first game and yet instead that's done and over this.I think it's likely because it involves a completely new character. Jin not being present at all likely dampens a lot of people's expectations. Maybe the new character is somehow linked to someone from the previous game, it's certainly possible. But as a result I think the first impressions are muddied.
I loved the first and will likely check this out at some point, but I'm in no rush. Unless the gameplay looks insanely awesome.
Game look somehow worse than 3 years old crossgen horizon fw, it is gonna have a 60 frame mode on hobo ps5 aswell unless sucker punch got even lazier.I also loved Ghost of Tsushima, but so far I find both the character and what they showed of the story unappealing. We will see if they will make it more interesting in the future previews, but not holding my breath.
Either way I will wait for a PC port as I want 60FPS and won't be buying PS5 Pro.
It's so weird that we've seen more of Onimusha than of Ghost 2.For me I didnt liked GoT that much and I have no interest in this one.
I'm waaaaaaaaaaay more excited for Onimusha….unfortunately that one comes out next year.
Yeah I don't know what's up with that…..I'm guessing Sony gonna show off the game fully on upcoming state of play?It's so weird that we've seen more of Onimusha than of Ghost 2.
Too bad the upload is fucked up.Imagine if Tomb Raider 1 came out today.
"What is this? A woman trying to be Indiana Jones? Get outta here with this woke stuff!"
Yeah, but you just know it's going to be performance mode with terrible Image Quality. Hopefully not but I am not super optimistic on optimization efforts now days.Game look somehow worse than 3 years old crossgen horizon fw, it is gonna have a 60 frame mode on hobo ps5 aswell unless sucker punch got even lazier.

Lol Its a Sony game.. she wont have boobs. Specially since the model actress also almost dosent have them.The gaslighters can gaslight all they want and pretend like literally everything exists in a vacuum (when it supports them of course)
but at the end of the day GoY has shown 0 reason for anyone to be interested other than they took the bad man character away and made it a manly woman.
so we'll see how the state of play shakes out and if the gameplay is exciting and if they shake up the formula and really surprise the player.
but until then its completely understandable to not be excited for "same game but man is man with long hair and boobs" considering that is literally the only thing they have sold us on in the game so far for being different.
People saying it's "good" Ubisoft like game but that's not positive at all for me.Ghost of Tsushima is a mid Ubigame and you all know it, thats the truth
Yep, i never said anything about also looking good in perf modeYeah, but you just know it's going to be performance mode with terrible Image Quality. Hopefully not but I am not super optimistic on optimization efforts now days.
I personally don't mind the main protagonist being female, and I love revenge stories so I'm fine with that too, lol. But it's apparent that a lot of people aren't fans of being pushed away from the characters that they got so familiar with. I mean, why not go the 2 character route? I feel like there may be some kind of connection somewhere, but still, I don't know if it's enough to please those that would be turned off by this.That's another thing that annoys me. Much like with TLOU there were lots of reasons to stick and keep developing the main character in the first game and yet instead that's done and over this.
Contrast it with say Uncharted or God of War franchises or even (god help us), Horizon.
There was easily another story to tell with Jin, and yet to all appearances we get another "girl boss" revenge story.
I've never been into playing female characters, save for one or two games like Tomb Raider. But they are an exception not a rule. There's a good chance I won't be buying Witcher 4 either. It may be seen as petty and small minded but I can live with that. It's my money and my time. I have no ill feeling towards the games and hope they deliver the experience gamers are looking for.
