MODERATORS
Erika is genderfluid and uses they/them pronouns.
I was gonna say those 12 pixels looked like Erika
I have never loved her energy, but happy for her success.
disagree with LGBT
Then I disagree with your existence too, dipshit.
I disagree with gravity. Can’t fly yet but I’m working on it. \s
"[...] maybe they feel the same about the theory of gravity and just float the fuck away" - Tim Minchin
The trick is to have someone distract you mid-fall, so you forget to land.
You're a soulist, then.
It must be exhausting, being mad about shit that doesn't affect you all the time.
God damn, every time with this.
Ghost of Tsushima was amazing, I'm looking forward to the sequel.
It's a weird hobby they have. Hating. Very weird
I’m excited to see the “go woke go broke” crowd lose their minds over this when this turns into a great success
Isn't this like Ghost of Tsushima sequel? It's gonna be great success for most people.
Yes, but it’s a female protagonist now, which triggers a certain set of people.
I’m excited. The game looks awesome!
Yeah, been a while i play (aaa) games and what the heck this looks so good. Gonna have a new PC for this and Tsushima and MHWild.
"People"
Gamers! They are targeting gamers!
Huh - if she's the mo-cap actor for the main character, I'm really hoping the game gives you the option to perch somewhere, like a bisexual little gargoyle. It'd be a real shame if you couldn't.
Coming to ABC this Fall!
Eirika Ishii mentioned!! They're great, I'm not a Ghosts fan but I'll be excited to see their full performance once the game comes out.
wait holy shit i only know erika from dropout shows; didn't realize she has such a prolific voice acting career and that i've heard her voice in a few games that i have played!
On N4G (a notorious website full of Sony fanboys and actual real life chuds) they are mask-off vocal about not wanting to play the game because you play as a woman and that Jin's story is being forgotten.
It's like, hey idiot, do you maybe think that this 2nd game might have plot relevant to Jin despite the fact you don't play as Jin? Just let your blatant misogyny prevent you from ever finding out.
...its several hundred years into the future of course Jin's story is forgotten
That doesnt mean "of course jins story is forgotten" it just means it isnt the primary focus of this game's narrative. Flashbacks, written text & stories that survive to the current game are just two ways they could easily tie the two stories together.
I'm sure his impact will be felt in the setting probably as you describe, but people getting bent out of shape because its a woman are chuds and losers; it was never his story to begin with.
No other literary work has jumped time like that and left its old protagonist behind. None at all.
Where do they get the energy to be this outraged over nothing all the time?
When you keep drinking energy drinks but never leave your gamer chair you have the energy to this and more.
At this point I don’t even care about pointing out these bigots, I’m just so tired of constant ignorance and hate towards such non-issues. These guys are fueled by engagement, so it’s just best to ignore them, especially on Twitter.
it’s just best to ignore them, especially on Twitter.
You shouldn't even be on twitter!
I’m not, I wasn’t even on the og twitter. Never really like the format for it.
Now I have become interested in the game
I loved playing Ghost of Tsushima (gotta play it again when I get home) and I really enjoy everything Erika Ishii does, this is amazing!
I just don't care. Woke. Not woke. ~~Pavlov's~~ Schrodinger's woke.
I don't care. If the game is good it's good. If the game is bad then it's bad.
Mad shitheads on the internet don't influence my purchase choices. They just annoy everyone around them. Like militant vegans or hipsters. They're a nuisance.
Mainstream gaming, is on aggregate, getting worse and worse over time. Everyone wants to feel empowered to stop that from happening.
You could punch upward, targeting management of stuidos and publishers.
You could look inward, and make a commitment to sincerely boycott games from companies that consistely release games in an unfinished state, use dark patterns to exploit gambling addictions for profit, mistreat their staff, etc.
Or you could punch down, and target LGBT creators, who are largely individual contributors and completely unrelated with any of the root causes of the decline in game quality. But this one is SO much easier than the other two, so maybe you'll do this one so that you can feel like you're doing something without really having to do anything. Especially since it confims some things you heard from politicians that need to distract you from how their only policy is to make life better for rich people.
Delayed PC release is the biggest downside. I guess the no games box needs a win and I'm usually a patient gamer, but it is unfortunate.
Just played "Ghost of Tsushima" for 5 Hours. It's so good. I Play will Ghost of Yotei. No Matter What.
Ready to save money
Yeah right, I doubt that person was going to buy the game anyway lol
Me, I don't care about any of this, but with the recent announcements from Ubisoft (Steam release on day 1, no more season pass for new Assassin's Creed, etc) I'm a bit more optimistic towards their leadership direction and given how much good I've heard about the first Ghost game, I might just get this one if it works well with Proton.
What does Ubisoft have to do with this?
Oops I thought it was a Ubi title because everyone was discussing it under the AC article the other day
How is a steam release worth anything if you're still required to use uplay?
Because I don't want to buy it off Uplay
I could live without more Sucker Punch, but this is awesome
Sucker Punch is the studio behind the games. Nothing to do with the Zack Snyder movie.
Oh good!
I mean I'm not gonna buy it, but I might end up playing it eventually.
i didn't play the first game but i am gonna get yotei because i love this freaky lil gargoyle man
