If you don't like women.

Well I'm not the biggest fan of the design but you can't say I don't like women because I have a beautiful wife and a lovely baby daughter.

 

[SegaSnatcher]

I'm not surprised at that character design one bit from modern day Naughty Dog.

Definitely checking off as many boxes as possible in one go and making sure you have zero lustful feelings while playing.

At the end of the day if its a great game I'm down, but yeah....

 

[Balducci30]

You guys should really stop with the alien reference. Everyone knows that's not what they are going for and that's the difference. Way back then it was a big risk for the studio to do that and took everyone by surprise now it's done all the time for the same " activism " purpose . context is key

I just am not seeing the radical issue with the design, it’s clearly a woman, she has a shaved head and wears a wife beater. She’s on a spaceship in the far future - it just doesn’t seem that crazy one way or another

 

[Sebastian1295]

Can't wait to see neil druckmann take home game of the year when this game launches and hopefully shut up the haters. This game is going to be a banger.

 

[Generic]

if you are retarded, then yes.

Tell me a single ND game with better narrative. TLOU2 has more complex characters than Uncharted and TLOU1.

 

[Griffon]

Cue the "woke" comments. Like clock work, lol. Just like clock work it will probably still sell you'll still be mad. You'll still be using the word women incorrectly, lmao.

It's as if we can detect patterns. Unbelievable!
And those coming from those activist-infested studios are very obvious.

Someone should probably tell Neil that Cowboy Bebop is aesthetically pleasing in every conceivable way.

He wish he could do about Cowboy Bebop level. Not even is his dream.

 

[Shapingo]

from this thread, i learned that actress tati gabrielle is woke for being blasian

​

 

[Astray]

I'm confused, is this a proper space ship kind game, or not?

The blog entry's wording implies it's one 'world'.

I think it's not.

Probably gonna be an open world game that takes place on one planet.

 

[Fbh]

I wonder how many Concord Easter eggs and referenced they had to cut lol

 

[ProtoByte]

So yeah, absolutely hyped as hell, they nailed the aesthetic, graphics, music, etc...and I'm intrigued that it looks to be maybe a melee/shooter combo type game

I'm dooming over the gameplay. Low rent Scarlet Nexus ass sword, Soulslop enemy design. It's not looking good.

I am truly in shock of how much of a fail this is.

 

[Fortuneelsewhere]

So many interesting things in this trailer.. yet somehow it didn’t come together quite well.. the soundtrack will be amazing.. also the graphics and facial animations are top notch… however it seems to me that the different stiles don’t complement each other very well.

I know in the end all will come together.. at the moment is the soundtrack that hooked me the most..

 

[Mister Wolf]

If you don't like women.

 

[Topher]

It's Neil Druckmann, there will almost certainly be something that causes some sort of controversy.

With that said, I'm very intrigued, and I'm someone who wasn't even interested in TLOU1 when it first came out.

As am I. Thankfully I believe ND has writers skilled enough to embed whatever message they want to include in an actual story rather some preachy, heavy-handed sermon like what Bioware did. Pretty massive difference there, imo.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Yeah, I'm digging it.

That vibe is great. Does remind a bit of Concord, but who gives a shit really.

I want to see gameplay.

 

[JaksGhost]

Well I'm not the biggest fan of the design but you can't say I don't like women because I have a beautiful wife and a lovely baby daughter.

That's subjective.

 

[Larxia]

Man the "Everything is woke" mob is truly fucking insuffering.

Just infecting every corner of the internet with their fucking bullshit.

You guys see a woman and run the other way. Come out of the goddamn closet already. Goofs.

Come on.
It's like they did everything they could to have the worst looking character possible, it just feels like a joke / parody at this point.
Who wants to play as this?

You wouldn't have gotten a main character looking like this in a AAA game a few years back, this clearly scream 2020s, so yes, this is woke, because it's just ridiculously obvious what they're trying to do.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Man it sure would be a Christmas miracle if people on GAF would speculate about the actual game, as opposed to getting triggered by a character’s haircut

An ugly main character who isn't at all likable is an instant no for me. You dont get to be snarky if you aren't funny, and there was nothing humorous about her outside of her exaggerated muscles.

 

[fallingdove]

GOY and now Intergallactic, I really hate what woke agenda is turning women into binary and masculine butch. Forcing and still pushing this agenda especially with common sense is back with new political climate in USA. Good luck with that.

What’s woke about anything that was in this trailer? The main character is a girl and shaved her head?

We know very little about the game. Seems like you are overreacting.

You mean Jordan.

[Lionel Richie]

Look into my eyes and tell me that isn't a Ninja Turtle.

 

[Represent.]

Nobody said it's "controversial".

Just ugly, non feminine and obnoxious. And her personality will probably reflect just that.

The guy I quoted literally said its controversial. lol

Shes not ugly.

Doesn't need to be feminine, who cares. She seems like the tomboy type.

Some of you guys have a problem with any female lead that doesn't look like fucking Stellar Blade and its hilarious (embarrassing)

 

[Terenty]

"Finally, pure cringe" meme fits perfectly here

 

[Bry0]

The real travesty is the beat to death gen x 80s nostalgia setting and cringe marvel writing. I'm so sick of both. The protagonist is bleh, but I'm more offended by the former. lol

 

[shamoomoo]

Theres nothing controversial about the design.

Its a woman. Shes bald. Shes Asian.

CONTROVERSY

seriously. WTF

I guess it doesn't matter,but Tati Gabrielle is like a 1/4 Korean,her Mother is Blasian and her is supposedly Black but not mixed. Tati just looks more Asian even though that part of her ancestry is diluted.

 

[yurinka]

Looked great except for the woke tokenism protagonist.

As usual ND & Sony continue with their bigotry against white heterosexual male protagonists and attractive heterosexual females. Let's hope Sony ends with the wokism nonsense asap before this game, Ghost of Yokei or the next SSM game became their next Destruction AllStars, Forspoken or Concord.

Other than the unappealing and ugly manly (very likely lesbian, non-binary or trans) 'female' protagonist, the game looked great and interesting.

 

[Astray]

As am I. Thankfully I believe ND has writers skilled enough to embed whatever message they want to include in an actual story rather some preachy, heavy-handed sermon like what Bioware did. Pretty massive difference there, imo.

Also I'm feeling pretty good about picking up a pro. Between Ghost of Yotei, this and whatever else Sony's got cooking, we're eating good.

 

[nkarafo]

Some of you guys have a problem with any female lead that doesn't look like fucking Stellar Blade and its hilarious (embarrassing)

Like i said, some people just don't like ugly, obnoxious looking protags who can't relate to. It's not a new concept.

 

[Aenima]

Wait i just notice in the Playstation Channel game description the protagonist name is actually Jordan A. Mun.

 

[XXL]

As am I. Thankfully I believe ND has writers skilled enough to embed whatever message they want to include in an actual story rather some preachy, heavy-handed sermon like what Bioware did. Pretty massive difference there, imo.

The Last of Us 1 is a great balance imo.

It's definitely has the a bunch of shit in it that could be considered woke, but it's not in your face hammering you over the head with it all the time.

 

[AJUMP23]

Music was dope.

Aesthetic I liked that. Space Porsche.

Main character is awful looking.

 

[Fake]

Yep. 'Her' name is Jordan.

 

[EviLore]

Look into my eyes and tell me that isn't a Ninja Turtle.

Strategic forearm tats to cover up her cutting scars?

 

[Generic]

At the end of the day if its a great game I'm down, but yeah....

I like how at the end of this episode Cartman apologizes to K. Kennedy.

 

[indigoSociety]

Main character design couldnt have bored me more. Lame looking. Predictable and typical woke design for the sake of it

 

[Saber]

Can't wait to see neil druckmann take home game of the year when this game launches and hopefully shut up the haters. This game is going to be a banger.

If it has pronoums, activist flags and gender neutral language you can bet your ass the masses won't play that shit regardless of what journalists and you say lmao

 

[T4keD0wN]

Music, artstyle all looked cool, if you can wear a space helmet i am in! Otherwise i am waiting for someone to make a 2B/Tifa mod and then i am in.

 

[Sebastian1295]

Is Ellen ripley woke too then??

 

[nial]

As usual ND & Sony continue with their bigotry against white heterosexual male protagonists and attractive heterosexual females.

how the fuck is this any of what you said

 

[vpance]

The last clip with the enemy sort of saved this for me.

Everything before that looked awful and uninspired

Jumping off a rock with a big red sword to slash a tin can looking thing looked lame to me.

Like someone posted earlier they are trying too hard.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Strategic forearm tats to cover up her cutting scars?

Also looks like fur, could be furry bait.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Blehh.
Mildly intrigued till it went all "Souls- like" at the end.
Ship looks cool I suppose.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Yall like roaches scurrying out. This thread is a great honeypot, going to set aside a chunk of time at work tomorrow to fill my ignore list.

You're going to let a flame war on a video game forum get to you like that? Waste time at work just for this shit?

lol.

 

[Represent.]

Like i said, some people just don't like ugly, obnoxious looking protags who can't relate to. It's not a new concept.

Only difference is shes white. Im sick of this BS infecting every corner of the internet.

 

[Stooky]

exaggerated muscles? …..go outside. leave your gamer chair.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

IntergaJaguar.

 

[Astray]

Topher Neil made a NYTimes interview about the game.

The real travesty is the beat to death gen x 80s nostalgia setting and cringe marvel writing. I'm so sick of both. The protagonist is whatever.

How was this cringe marvel writing? There were basically zero quips in there.

I swear to god people now make up stuff to get mad at.

 

[seb85]

Yeah nothing to do with her being an obnoxious baldy ugly tiny girl from the same director and studios that released TLOU2 which was woke as fuck, Men or masculinity doesn't seem to exist anymore with ND.



Exactly where I stand tbh, I don't understand the WOW LOOK AT THIS bullshit.

Only someone brainless will care about these stuff
Gameplay and storytelling is what makes the game good

 

[Sebastian1295]

If it has pronoums, activist flags and gender neutral language you can bet your ass the masses won't play that shit regardless of what journalists and you say lmao

I don't even know how to respond to this comment because none of that crap was even in the trailer.
