-Shittiest looking main character of all time
-New IP.
-Shit name
-Shit reveal trailer
-Antagonising main audience at a terrible timing

This will be ND's Concord moment and hopefully the end of Cuckman.

It's Concord 2.0

 

[Kotaro]

Thread posts like these are exactly what they want, way to go GAF.

No, this is good. She just makes the anger permanent. It won't be forgotten now. It's all out hatred

 

[VulcanRaven]

All that because of a bald female main character.

All that because of a bald female main character.

If you think that’s the only issue, then the dev would be dumb to not change her to have hair.

Sonic movie completely redid their Sonic design after public reaction. Best possible outcome happened and the series is fucking killing it in theaters/sales.

Seems like an easy fix if ND wasn’t being so stubborn.

 

[vpance]

Is there like a 7 Stages of DEI before going broke chart? This must be like stage 2.

 

[SteadyEvo]

I don't understand. People are upset the the protagonist is a woman that shaves her head??? Who gives a shit?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I don't understand. People are upset the the protagonist is a woman that shaves her head??? Who gives a shit?

It's not that, it's just that it's too hateful and the characters are detestable.

Now, the fact that the actress makes fun of users.

I will not buy it, before I said that I bought it cheap or used... with this I am not interested in this garbage.

They are only hurting themselves ignoring criticism by muting the comments. Kojima pissed a lot of people of with Raiden in mgs2 but rather than dismissing people who disliked him, he made changes to the character the next time he was featured and completely flipped a lot of negative views on him.

 

[FoxMcChief]

If this is the Professor

I think we found the Dean…..

 

[ChoosableOne]

The only person likely to profit from this is probably her(them?).

 

[TGO]

How do you expect them to respond?
What exactly do you think her knowledge about what people don't like is..?

 

[Saber]

All that because of a bald female main character.

And ugly, and cheecky, and generic, and Marvel movie corny, and not charming...but yeah, just because it's ugly.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wonder if her attitude will change if the game flops. Like so many DEI games failed in 2024.

Doubt it matters to her. She gets paid regardless.

 

[winjer]

Doubt it matters to her. She gets paid regardless.

For this one. But when an actor racks several flops, jobs start to dry up.

Nobody gives a shit. It's just like how nobody actually cared about the generic brown haired white male protagonists in the past because we all know that everything is universally appealing to everyone. Character design is superfluous to game development in the same way that it's superfluous to design for shit that the human eye can't even perceive, such as framerates over 30fps or the difference between 720p and 1080p on a TV below 50 inches.

dude got much better and makeup and filters

Yeah it's obviously not just the hair.

People's DEI detection meters are just highly tuned now. No one wants even a sniff of it.

 

[DeVeAn]

That’s right dig those heels in. Lol.

 

[iorek21]

I'm not sure going against your own audience is a good idea for your product.

They should embrace the love and empathy that they like to talk so much about and try to calm things, give a better picture of the character/game/design. Fighting your audience with sarcasm hasn't worked out for the film industry.

 

[LectureMaster]

I don't understand. People are upset the the protagonist is a woman that shaves her head??? Who gives a shit?

I am all on board if this turns out to be well-written character and there are meaningful explanations on why the character is designed this way.

But based on cases for past a few years, this might just be the industry forcing the "strong, independent woman lead" trend, which so far is proved to have very little meaningful value and generally led to commercial failures.

 

[MetalFreak]

OK Vin Diesel…

 

[Tomeru]

If only she stayed silent, I wiuld give a damn... Now I know shes an asshole... fml.

 

[FoxMcChief]

That’s what he said.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Why are you checking her Insta stories?
Stop looking for things to get mad at.

The anti-woke are more obsessed with this game than the woke.

 

[VulcanRaven]

And ugly, and cheecky, and generic, and Marvel movie corny, and not charming...but yeah, just because it's ugly.

People would probably like her personality if the character was a man.

 

[Reaseru]

My friend, forget it, that's the narrative they want to sell... "the haircut".

Not the interviews dissing their main consumer demographic. Not the current ideology culture impregnated inside these studios. Not the constant rants from the devs and their agenda. No. It's the gamers hating shaved haircut.

 

[The_Observer]

I just love that this DEI and woke shit spares me a lot of money nowadays. So no, I’m not mad “bro”, quite the contrary. Thanks a lot!

 

[Northeastmonk]

I thought most incels liked Ciri already. Maybe fact check first bro?

 

[XXL]

What a dumbass, she shouldn't have said anything.

Just let the game be judged for what it is when it releases or when they show a substantial amount of gameplay footage.

 

[FoxMcChief]

People would probably like the personality if the character was a man.

Because that personality is more suited for a male in video games. Sorry that that might ruffle some feathers. But some people also get made when you point out a person born a male can have a period or get pregnant.

 

[VulcanRaven]

That image was made not long after The Game Awards.

 

[mdkirby]

I’m sure companies must love it when their lead star on their half a billion dollar project calls 70-80% of their customer base incels

I’m sure somewhere there’s a Sony exec facepalming

 

[proandrad]

The provost:

Looks more feminine than the intergalactic character.

 

[Senua]

They can't help themselves, their egos are too large to stay away from the noise.

 

[Setzer]

love it

God I love her.

Can we get a clown emoji for comments like these?

 

[f~N_CH_1:3:3:3_SushiBoat]

I'm regularly doing projects with the big automotive players, and if I'd badmouth their potential customers on social media while I'm on the project I'd get my ass grilled instantly, and rightfully so.

Couple weeks ago had an acquaintance talk shit about their customers on social. The business immediately fired them, and rightfully so. Its crazy how every other profession has a no tollerance policy about this kind of behavior.....

These kind of people are their own worst problem.

I love how in 2024 the only ones who get all dolled up with makeup and feminine hairstyles are dudes.

These idiots can’t leave well enough alone they actively try to sabotage their own product

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

I hate owning the chuds/libs memes, cringe shit.
That said, I wonder if people will still play the (fake) "they made her more masculine!" card after this. Just straight up say you dislike her real look at this point, at least that's being honest.

I dislike her real look

 

[Chuck Berry]

And she deleted it already lol

Sony telling her not to Zegler the shit all up

 

[Setzer]

Yup! One less game I would have to spend $60 on. Doesn't bother me any.

 

[reinking]

Good for her. People sitting at keyboards calling her ugly and making fun of her hair. Wonder what some of you would do it you had been taking the heat that she has been taking….

 

[LectureMaster]

Not only that, in 2024, the only ones who shave heads are chicks. LMAO.

This is a woman:

This is a man:

 

[Fbh]

and making fun of her hair.

What hair?

 

[Reaseru]

You know what's more hipocrite? If a dev makes fun of a minority or lgtb on the social media, they would be fired the next day, but somehow if they insult the male or white consumers, nothing happens.

 

[proandrad]

Part of the job is to have your looks be judged. People judge the food a chief makes based on how it looks aswell.

wouldn’t you agree she can respond to people criticizing her looks? Like I said, good for her.
