That's the best thing about GAF. Under a general community guidelines, folks can have different options, and I appreciate them. I haven't ignored a single person in this forum.

Hell, why do I make this analogy, LMAO.

I would wait to see more than just how the character looks to start labeling this "woke". The character is based off of the look of the real life actor so I guess reality is woke too. :D

Devil's advocate here, but you've inverting causation. If the character looks "woke", and the character is based on the actress, then the actress got the job because of how she looks - which is how casting works. Given the developer, the director, the actress, and the context, people rushing to label this as "woke" aren't randomly ascribing terms to unrelated things, they're connecting the dots.

With that said, I don't really care if something is "woke" or not. I just care if it looks interesting, looks original, or just plain looks fun to play. This trailer had literally nothing for me. Here's hoping their gameplay reveal isn't Bloodborne combat set against 80s songs using lifted art design.

Never understood why anyone would ignore anyone unless someone slips through like a Viagra spammer. But those kinds of bots and posts never make it into the forum as Gaf's filters or mods catch that. A forum is all in good fun too.

"Accepting it" and expecting me to participate in the delusion are two entirely different things. I "accept" that there a lunatics out there who have a cock and balls and nevertheless believe themselves to be female. I refuse to address such people with their chosen pronouns, though. If I were to refer to such a person as a she/her then I would be participating in the delusion, which I refuse to do.

Because I genuinely cannot tell what the character in Intergalactic is. Is she black, asian or both?

Wiki has the actress as mixed.

Hobson was born on January 25, 1996, in San Francisco, California. She is one of three children born to Traci (née Hewitt) and Terry Hobson. Her father is African American, and her mother was born in Korea to a Korean woman and African American soldier. At age four, her mother was adopted by an African American military family that was stationed in Japan at the time.[1]
 
Back here after a temp ERA mod ban. shocking I know.
That said, was not prepared for Gaf polar opposite reactions/vitriol.

ND knows their craft. woke or not, I expect this to be great.
Unless gameplay is some lame Outlaws type tired 3rd person last gen style, Day One.

At the time is was unique. Now it is a symbol for mental illness and a warning to stay back 100 feet.

He's right. There have been a number of people having meltdowns here over "GAF" thinking a particular way, as if GAF is an artificial bubble and the real reaction is universally positive. This is not supported by any evidence. Some are positive, some are negative. If anything, the reception here closely reflects the like/dislike ratio on YouTube, which is mixed towards a 50:50 split.

This opinion might hold some value if we hadn't seen a collection of games with similar divisive characterisations and contexts bomb like Dresden in recent years.

The idea that this is just an opinion of the 'orrible chud gaffers is not really borne out by massive triple AAA games spectacularly failing with the entire audience.

Hard not to think that most of the opinions of the trailer come more from the hate of Druckmann than any actual expectation of the merits of the game itself. He could probably change half the opinions just by tweeting "fuck dei" on some socials.

I don't even know why that keeps getting brought up. It wasn't a style choice. It was forced on her. A prisoner forcefully stripped of her identity like the rest. Had nothing to do with being badass. In the fourth movie, the hybrid clone Ripley was a dangerous badass and had her hair.

Nah. A lot of people can see the same old tropes being used in this trailer and are disappointed by it because its Naughty Dog. Druckmann's opinions wouldn't change that.
 
I need everyone to remember that in the fight between Team Abby and Team Ellie, the correct affiliation was Team Lev.

The game is the opposite of a serious LOU game.

Intergalactic is a retro sci fi game which will be full of funny bits and cozy nostalgia references.

Hey if they want to make a game that panders on 80s nostalgia and humor just like GotG, that's their choice. It's also my choice to be completely disinterested in that vibe.

Where are you getting that from? This would need to be Airplane levels of straight face comedy gold to reconcile what they've already shown IMO. It just comes across a low thought writing and directing to put a milkshake cup in a spaceship and put that in the trailer without a joke punchline.

Yet we don't get threads popping off this long about any of the past or upcoming JRPGs with their same ol' exhausting tropes. He has a formula he likes like most do only he gets shit for it? Come on. It's because people hate what he stands for more than how his games play.

These people's takes are like we're not watching the same trailer

Nothing suggests it's lighthearted

Naughty Dog is the single most popular games developer in the industry today. It's bound to draw more attention and opinion than anything else, regardless of content. This isn't about Druckmann - beyond the fact he is responsible for the content of this trailer, which, as I say, has disappointed many due to its tired tropes.

Not open world. I don't see ND doing that. I'm going for some sort of God Of War 2018 vibe. I hope it goes nowhere near Soulslike combat.

I could see the areas being the size of Fallen Order or Jedi Survivor, but I hope they don't go the Souls route with combat. I've had e fucking nough of that style. Give us a break for the love of god.

I actually think the kind of game it might well compare to, given the premise of a bounty hunter... is Assassin's Creed.
