It is, but we dont judge, bro, its ok to be gay, just embrace it instead of hiding behind the stupid comments about baldie being feminine/just as the actress/we dont know anything about her etc.
U like what u like, simple as that

What type of physical disc is she using to watch this Anime?
Laserdisc, DVD, or CED video disc?
Its a missed opportunity that being in an alternative universe and game is under Sony, that Betamax isn't the dominant video format.

They are all lost souls there, or at least the ones in powerSo apparently saying;
'ND has fallen off
Produce placement
Is a ban worthy event for 'trolling' on resetera
The bad reaction to this just keeps rolling on and on and on. It'll still probably sell well due to the ND name (and no doubt the production values will still be unbelievable) but I can see this easily being the worst performing ND game in 2 decades.
Demanding tolenrance and diversity while banning both tolerance and diversity of thoughts and ideas(which is what actually matters way more from tolenrance and diversity of skin colour/sex, especially on the net where no1 really cares about some1 else sex/skin colour) on their own very site

The irony in all of this is that Cuckman and Naughty Dog believe they’re advancing women in gaming, but all they’ve done is turn a guy into a female character. I seriously doubt there’s a single woman out there who will play this game because of this bald character. In the end, they’ve achieved nothing except potentially hurting their own game’s sales.

@Mister Wolf Given that you think I'm being hyperbolic or non-factual, here's the extension devs themselves telling you, in their github, where the numbers come from:
return-youtube-dislike/Docs/FAQ.md at main · Anarios/return-youtube-dislike
Chrome extension to return youtube dislikes. Contribute to Anarios/return-youtube-dislike development by creating an account on GitHub.github.com
This shit has not been factual for a long, long time now. 1000 people with the extension can completely rig the numbers by doing a dislike campaign.
God knows how many projects got derailed and railroaded because of that dumb extension. You got fucking gaming journalists using that shit to make articles etc too.
Youtube should bring back the like/dislike bar then to stop the spread of misinfo.
Also this is just cope, everybody know it's not going to be 100% accurate but it's going to be at least somewhat in the right ballpark, there's been so much negativity surrounding the game already it'd be shocking if it didn't have boat loads of dislikes.

Most women prefer to play with attractive characters as well. It's leftist man who think they are not. This bombing critically and commercially is important.

It was "good enough" accurate when it launched:
And it could only get better since then (number of users).
Of course your next post will be: "only far right nazis have YT Dislike installed" or other crap like this.

Well as the rumours suggested pre-show, it's really a "holy shit" moment, but not in the right way.

The biggest problem it faces is when a situation gets people to start dislike bombing.
For like cat videos that's not an issue because no one will ever brigade something like that, but for more contentious videos it heavily skews things into the dislike side because it ties the estimate of dislikes to the number of likes, there's no real correlation between the two numbers.
There's another problem with the sample size used, the 5m users that comprise the extension install base is %0.2 of Youtube's users (2.3 billion), there's no way that small of a sample is statistically significant enough to be able to take inferences with any kind of confidence. You need a much larger sample than that.
The mathematical formulas and their inputs are right there in my reply, feel free to tinker with it and tell me if I'm wrong.
The extension is just completely borked, that's honestly the takeaway here.

Didn't the first game sell through significantly more than the second? Like 26M for the 1st game (including Remaster) and just over 10-11M for the TLOU 2 as of last year.
Numbers from Insomniac leak and their own numbers - 37M total sales for the franchise.
A lot of people may have gone off TLOU from the last game. And the reactions to the trailer have been mixed at best. Even for ND fans.

Prove that Linus is wrong on this one.
Even if extension is wrong by 10-15% there is still a massive difference between games that are liked (Onimusha) and games that are disliked (Concord, Veilguard and this). And ALL kind of people have this extension installed, not only far right extremists. Polls are done on few thousands people (at most), yet they are usually quite close to votes done by millions.

Indeed, the trailer was for me- Holy Shit ND fucked up so badly this time- moment, never experienced it before with any of the reveal trailers of that top notch dev studio.
They are like that modern feminist woman expecting traditional treatment(launch sale of their game) while presenting herself as offputing as possible and doing stuff that imediatelly puts her either in pump and dump or even never touch cathegory
U gotta provide ur customers(players) with value, they need to be hyped by ur reveal trailer, not disgusted by it, its marketing 101...
Just as a contrast, since many current day cuckhold ND defenders like to bring up TLOU2, that is the reveal trailer of TLOU2, back from 2016 playstation experience:
10m views, 329k likes/only 5k dislikes on it. It was fricken hellfire, we all loved it.

TLOU Part II sold 10m in 2022, not 2023.
Leaks show it has sold an additional 2m copies digitally as of June 2023. This is before the remaster release.
The first game was bundled for 6 years which inflated sales and it's not a 1-for-1 comparison.

As some would say, you only get one chance to make a first impression.
2016 Naughty Dog made one heck of a great first impression with the TLOU2 reveal trailer and the gameplay trailer that came out a few years later was also a banger. The leaks didn't happen until a mere few months before release when ND already secured a lot of preorders.

I think if enough people on the internet scold and shame their audience, it could really change their minds and make them love her character. Especially if Druckman or other Naughty Dog employees get in on the scolding

I wonder what is happening in ND offices when Druckmann picks up phone from Totoki and tries to explain that nasty negative like/dislike ratio and why they disabled comments on official ND yt channel ;D

About the same, although most of that was because of Joel's death, not because of the 'woke' elements.

A bald girl with no tits out really did that.
edit: This feels relevant and has gone really viral in Twitter
And i agree. You don't need to have a woman to be playable.
I really don't remember a single one of these concerns when Returnal was announced and released. Naughty Dog really is one step above everyone else, whew!

Yeah, the subject that dominated the discussion was the choice to kill Joel, then, of course people fixated on Abby later.

Because I can let shit slide to enjoy overall experience. If they were forcing the tranny shit down my throat the entire game I would care. But they created a story out of it (that wasnt even pushed that hard unless really paying attention) and without the character we wouldn't have had abbys story arc.
Yeah they could have had a different reason for her to be outcasted, instead of a personality disorder. But it didn't ruin a single part of the game for me.
So I don't give a fuck.
Same with actors, I hate deniro now because he is a liberal robot but I still love his movies.
Who gives a fuck
Intergalactic - HD gifs and trailer dissection
I made some high res, 60fps gifs for your enjoyment. You can also use this thread to discuss all the little details of the trailer and the implications, since some people were interested in doing that without getting drowned out by drama.

Probably reminds you of lev from TLOUP2. It will probably have a dead name and everything.
Face is pissing me off for no reason
I've liked every NG game and I'm sure I'll like this but they need to relax with the diversity BS.

That's the rub in all of this. These warped ideologues out here ugging up women thinking that is virtuous. Nah, just more attacks on women, really. "They can't be pretty."

It's because I'm fed up of political bullshit being forced in my video games. This is character looking like some transbender is a deliberate attempt to obfuscate and blur the lines between men and women.
The modern day phenomenon for gaming is to have female characters. This seems to be trendy amongst all AAA titles. I can't even remember the last time I saw a male protagonist in a video game. Yet the hilarious thing is that they will do everything in their power to make the female character act, and look, like a man.

Thats not what you said.. you kinda said that people shouldn't complain about the looks of the character and just judge the game.. and that we had lost the plot ... if you just had said "if you dont like the looks thats ok just buy another game" that would be fine ... but thats not what you implied... anyway .. my 2 cents.. as consumers people can judge your whole product and not just part of it, unfortunately is not up to you or me to say what someone can or not judge in a product... your food may taste heavenly good but if looks like shit and smells like shit.. the taste really dosent matter for a lot of people.

At least crash looks like a male animal he supposed to be.
I don't think most people wanted to smash Joel either but at least he didn't look like a women if hes supposed to be a man. Would be weird tho. I understand that new naughty dog don't give a fuck anymore tho.

Lol the press will jizz all over the game.. is a multimillion seller by a declared male feminist/wokeist with a black bald masculinized female MC that will have a lot of woke elements in its story... is the perfect game for them to leech on and give all the 10s and Awards to spite the "chuds" plus they get all the goodies from Sony... ND launching period is like carnival for this people.
