Okay, Yotei. You’ve played this? And did you not like it, or was the protagonist being a woman somehow harmful to the gameplay or story?
COD, which one, and why is it somehow girlboss slop instead of AI assets and Fortnite-ification slop? Are the woman models better hitboxes or less stereotypical ARMY WARRIOR than the men?
Horizons…like Forza or like the game series that has always been about a woman? Did you play the games, and was her character somehow not the character you expected them to be? (I will say, women make up about 20% of Engineers in the US, so it’s not crazy to think a woman scientist cloned herself, thus resulting in a 'savior character
GTA 6…I don’t play GTA so I can’t say much on that one. Have you played it yet? Can you share details so people can see how girl boss slop it is?
I can’t say I agree with the Bayonetta comment, but it’s because I only played it at a friend’s house a few times growing up and think it’d go over as well as a Final Fantasy movie.
FF 13 sucked for me. The sudden transition to even more linear environments, my salt about a lack of turn based combat, and the oh-my-god-they-out-finalled-their-fantasy with the cutscenes longer than dissertations. I love Sazh, love Fang, I fucks with Vanille and I low key love lightning design and a return to the gun blade. None of that could save that game for me, though. Oh, and fuck turning gods into vehicles, that Shiva-cycle was lame
