Ghost of Tsushima 2

[ghardy]

Everything in a work of art is on purpose. Every detail is hand placed and chosen by a person. It is just as easy to make a beautiful main character as an ugly main character. So why are they (developers) overthinking this?

You know, if these people, who supposedly champion the cause of the downtrodden and oppressed, made stuff that sold well in the market, they'd realize that they'd have this thing called money in their pockets. Using said money they could fund programs, NGOs, etc. that could, in theory, achieve their stated goals.

But hey, it wasn't ever actually about changing the world, was it?

Playing as a female character in a video game means you are a faggot.

"Hurr durr i just like to look at pixelated ass cheecks wat r u gey"

Cool story bro. Imagine anybody actually believing this retarded bullshit.

You're not supposed to associate with a character, you're supposed to play a character not identify with him/her, otherwise you are gay.

Otherwise it means that if you play a man, you are gay because you like men.
If you play a woman, you are gay and a trans because you identify as a woman.
In the end, you are gay.

I play buff manly warrior dudes because it's metal and cool and I want to get yoked myself. It's the same reason you watch/read Conan. Much prefer to play men over women but if I must play a woman she better be cool like in Tomb Raider or Claire Redfield. I almost view her as a companion of sorts. It is fun to play sorc in Diablo 2 as well, for example. I know plenty of beautiful girls in real life, don't need to debase myself with pixels thank you.

Homosexual.

There's two parts to this. One, they already won. They have the NGOs (funded by the government, despite the asinine name), they have the trillion dollar funds, they're all pushing this crap no one wants. The US economy is essentially post-sales, where product makers have such a large buffer between themselves and customers they can just dictate the market. It doesn't matter what products customers buy because it all flows to the same ocean in the end. This is 'financialization,' nothing collapses until everything does. (The dam is cracking though).

The other part is 99% of creators despise their audience. I've been in author groups where you ask, Why do you want to write? and the answers are always "to change the world," "to spread new ideas," "to feel good about myself," etc. I say "To make money" and everyone acts like I farted. Being successful means making products other people like, which means thinking about other people than yourself, and authors loathe thinking about anyone other than themselves.

Finally, the gayest post of the year.
Keep posting, Conan.

I'm honored.

It's called being an artist. Making things for others is just making slop to be consoomed.

It's going to be a bloodbath, isn't it?

So, you're saying if there is hope, it lies in the proles smaller studios/individuals. (By and large, of course, as I've seen developers who are just as insufferable by themselves.)

Someone told me, "D&D did away with differences in genders 30 years ago, please get with the time and yeah changing the core gameplay because the main toon is a woman would be a cause ( and rightfully so) for complain…"

Why, though? Changing the core gameplay because you're playing a woman sounds pretty exciting to me. Devs forced to be creative, win-win.

That painting was made by an artist. He had his style and then rich people/religious institutions commissioned his works.

If it is an RPG then you are correct. It's more fun to RP as someone than just playing an avatar of yourself.
That said, I need to have reason to play as female.
Look at Fallout 1/2 where playing as a female gave you different options. You could avoid some fights solely based on your sex. (And get raped by a creepy drug dealer, if your intelligence was 1)
In VtM:B you could go full on seduction which did changed your game to some degree.
I forced myself to play a female in Cyberpunk 2077 on my second walkthrough just to see if there will be anything different, and guess what. Other than insults they were throwing at you, and different romance options it was nothing.
It didn't change your gameplay in anyway. Even the half-assed background you could chose affected the game more.
We also used to have different starting stats for races and their respective sexes. That is also gone in most cases.

It will be the same shit with this politically motivated change, to Ghost of Tsushima 2, I doubt that we will be able to use seduction, deception and other stuff that female assassins used to do.
My bet is, that this will be just the same character with different animations, that will be fighting solo against men that would one-punch her(or it) into a comma.
I don't have any expectations for a developer that hired a political weirdo and a troon as the face of the project.

The banana was also "commissioned" by the modern elites.

The irony that you of all people say this is overwhelming.

Lady Snowblood used a knife/umbrella and her sex appeal. Can't remember the specifics, though. Read it twelve years ago. Obviously too racy for this gay world.

Lone wolf and cub:

Chapter 23, the end of volume 4. I just read it. Touching. Femininity is dead.

She should be in a burqa but I agree, true femininity is downplayed. I think people are waking up to this though. Literally everyone I talked to loudly laments this and complains, and my left winger friends are silent, as if they know they've gone overboard. Pendulum is swingin' back. Get whitepilled

After going back and replaying Infamous 2, put me in the 'Sucker Punch was always woke/Ghost of Tsushima is accidentally based' camp. It's probably a case of making a good story only because it was focused on a different culture, thinking white men would hate it because we're "racist." Or another Starship Troopers, where you're supposed to walk away thinking the cool military culture is bad, actually.

Meanwhile, in Infamous 2:

-Set in ersatz New Orleans post-Katrina, a highly political setting. The devs made some nonsense about being a "great town for parkour" despite featuring no tall buildings nor any interesting architecture.

-The bad guys are an evil white supremacist racist militia and, inexplicably, South Africans, who are well known turbo-racists. (This despite the gangs ravaging New Orleans IRL being all black or immigrant, who were engaging in mass looting, rape, murder, and cannibalism.)

-A completely unrelated sub plot about a right wing president getting impeached for mishandling the crisis. This has no bearing on anything else in the game and could have been entirely cut, yet there is expensive cutscenes and dialogue about it via news broadcasts.

-The main villain is a white race nationalist who is anti-conduit (people with superpowers) and it turns out he secretly is a conduit himself. But not one of the cool ones, he's a gross swamp monster. So it's the "homophobic people are secretly gay" trope.

It's interesting that all this basically flew under the radar back then.

Whoa you are telling me the game based on X-Men is...political? It flew under the radar since your mind is rotted just like a leftist you obsess over identity politics. Your explanations are so out of fucking whack its insane. Its not Post Katrina the world is going to shit since a giant fucking monster called "The Beast" destroyed Empire City and its coming across the country destroying anything in its path to kill Cole. The Milita are also mostly PMCs and you know the meme where most South Africans became mercs is followed here. Really like how you gloss over the Cole and Zeke fixing their friendship and forming a brotherhood through this game especially when Zeke went from the worst in 1 to the one of the best characters in 2.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

Its not Post Katrina

There is a destroyed area of the city called "Flood town" and a whole subplot explaining how it's the result of the big mean government screwing up after a hurricane, none of which happens in-game nor is mentioned in the first game. The beast doesn't get there until the end so there's no way it can cause it. It's such a clear reference to real world politics you'd have to be a moron to not see it.

Also, X-men is only political to gay hollywood pedos and their power bottoms.

Did you actually read the article? I did. It's not the slam dunk you think it is.

“Little by little I began getting mail saying how great it is that I’m doing these stories about bigotry and the evils of bigotry and so forth and race hatred. And I guess I was doing that, but I was doing it subconsciously. That wasn’t the main purpose.”

Despite antibigotry not being uppermost in his mind, inclusivity was absolutely a sentiment the stories were written with. No one is saying that 1963 Lee was familiar with the exact political landscape and language of the 2020s, but this is "woke".

Try this: run a search for the quote: "Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today." You're not going to like what comes up.

 

[Grampy_Bone]

It's pretty clear. People love to say X-men was about gays, Stan Lee said "no, it wasn't."

Despite antibigotry not being uppermost in his mind, inclusivity was absolutely a sentiment the stories were written with.

"Despite being wrong, I'm actually right, because I say so." Sure bud.

In any case, I didn't bring up the X-men, X-men didn't invent superheroes, and Infamous was clearly inspired by the Spider-Man games, which were the benchmark for superhero games at the time. Spider-Man is definitely not a political superhero.

Meanwhile, if you don't think it's insane to put a South African army in Louisiana, I don't know what to tell you. It makes as much sense as the Taliban in Postal 2, a game that was trying to be a farce. Especially in a city so well-known for local crime it was designated the Murder Capital of the country. Shit, even NPR complained the media was ignoring crime there.

You mentioned Katrina yet you dont know what Black Water was called in to do in Katrina? You got triggered over something like a leftist on reddit admit it and you reached hard to get mad over it.
