WOW that is a wild story for a 3rd person shooter… absolutely ridiculous. I'd take a Kojima dialogue diarrhea fest over this.

Just kidding I wouldn't touch either.

I've been convinced for some time that the people who write these female characters have a deep dislike for actual women. You see it in female characters that have all feminine traits stripped away. They're basically 'men with boobs' and that's why they're "strong". Heck, we're at the point where female characters aren't even allowed to like or be with men. They're either lesbians from the start or become lesbians - like the wife in this game.

No person who truly wants to represent women writes like this. Of course, they keep telling us it's about that and empowering women. I just don't believe them.

Ad hominem.

I want everyone here to look that up. Rather than earnestly debating with OP, many of you have stooped to ad hominem.

Ad hominem against his source, without even addressing the point itself.

Ad hominem against OP, claiming racism without, again, addressing the point.

Ad hominem against people who prefer not to support agendas, whether they be left or right, with their capital, their only economic voting power, rather than attempting to understand why one would feel that way.

Ad hominem is the tool for the deliberately disingenuous and intellectually lazy, (you know.... politicians :D), and I know that my beloved Gaf is better than that. It's ok to not agree on things, hell I think it's productive even, but let's try to address the point, rather than the source; it's simply a more direct, honest, and efficient means of debate.

Or you can all just keep yelling at each other and pushing for more division, hell I don't know, go nuts. I do know that the story that OP noted is absolute dog shit, I mean it just is, for me at least. If you like it, that's cool too, but OP is not a racist, (for those of you asserting as much, grow up), for simply sharing information about aspects of the writing that many of us would want to know before making a purchase and thus unwittingly supporting a product that we wouldn't have had we known otherwise, as the story does sound polarizing at the very least, and I think that's being kind.

Thanks for trying to keep us informed OP. Ignore the people who try to paint you as a culture warrior or rabble rouser for doing so, and remember whose modus operandi it was to suppress all criticism, fair or not, by declaring it all dissent against the state.....or should I say dissent against the party?

Love ya you turdy bastard.
 
And that's why I don't pre order Sony games anymore.
Edit: Hope is not too bad, I was really looking forward to play this one.

You have it all wrong. Story sucks because it's woke. It's the case in almost all Sony games this gen. When they force all those woke fantasies in their story, it automatically sucks.

I'm saying it sucks and it's woke.

Substitute any of the pandering identity traits, the plot would still be terrible on its own. I don't really have any interest in playing a person who cheats on their spouse, murders to cover it up, goes through a loop to rescue that person out of guilt, and then the end is they just rightfully leave you for someone else.

Why would I wanna play someone who I'm rooting against? Unless the twitter post is wrong or being unfair, nothing about it appeals to me beyond the gameplay.

Everything you wrote is correct except for one thing. They're 'men but without boobs'.

I would also fucking love for one of these """feminists""" to show me studies and proof that female players like these troon looking female characters.

I would post some stuff showing the exact opposite but I'm on mobile. Maybe later.

C'mon man you are better than this. So I am retarded for calling out what is clearly wokism in a videogame? You might dont agree with my position and you can argue but insulting people for thinking differently is very low. I am very dissapointed to see you taking this stance

Dude, do you even know how women work? Arjun (main character) was an alcoholic and cheated on Nitya. Like, that's a pretty good indication for why she had enough of men and fell in love with a woman - which is much more common for women, than men falling in love with other men after being in an abusive relationship with a woman.

Some of you guys are so simple minded, it's actually sad you think something is woke - just because you're so unenlightened.
 
Regardless of any woke, it sounds like another terrible, subversive, nihilistic story. I'm currently watching a video of Deadly Premonition. Now that's a game with a great story and characters. Developed with a fraction of the budget, but with care and attention. I wonder if devs these days feel passionate about the stories they're telling. I can't fathom it.

It's been like that since 2016 or some shit, it keeps happening and won't stop till women start to object to it, but for the women in the know, online virtue signaling is more important so they won't complain and the rest of the female population that don't know, don't care

Housemarque tragic hero storylines. What can one up being trapped for eternity reliving the death of your son? Being a cuck.

Why turn gay though? she hates men so much she becomes gay? I don't think that's how it works.

Throughout my several years of practice, I've met a woman who almost got killed by her now ex-husband. And another one who had her face pretty much disfigured by her boyfriend. Cases that are much worse than any infidelity.

None of them turned gay.

Yep, turning your entire sexuality because of bad actors is a literal cope reaction, unless they knew they were also into the other sex too the whole time.

This.

I can respect the fuck out of a leftist/progressive/wokester whatever you want to call them saying they ignore or hell, even like clearly left leaning political slants in games unironically.

I'll never respect the people acting stupid and doing the whole 'what message' or 'define woke'. It's been 13 years since Gamergate when we started seeing this kind of identity politics crap in media with the last 5 or so being especially egregious. The playing dumb doesn't work anymore.
