The story to me is much more interesting if I omit the car crash and believe Selene is exploring an ancient civilization that brought itself to ruin. The uh it was all a dream or nightmare just cheapens the whole thing IMO. But it's pretty clear with the story spoilers being in the OT for the game it's another one of those fun shooter games with a nonsense story.
There's nothing wrong with liking a woke game. I like some. I liked Yotei and actually thought it did some different things with its story I liked, which are not the usual woke slop, but still, it is what it is.
The "gee whiz, I don't even know what woke means anymore, you guys are worse than the woke people" people are the worst of all.
I never called you retarded. Im just tired of these type of drama threads on this site and their popularity. People engaging with ccu threads and these kind of topics a lot more than actual game conversations. This is why i hated the purple forum.
I agree with your last statement - that definitely happens.
Yes the cosmic horror vibes were much more interesting to me than the story being a supposed hallucination of some sorts.
Its hard to tell if some really believes something or is just a .. " Leave Sony Alone !! "

"Man, just shut up and pay 100 bucks for the privilege of being lectured on how everything you believe in is 'a social construct' and why aspiring to protect and save others is a 'deeply problematic behavior'. Also, being attracted to beautiful women is fucking gross."
It's the Modern Audience way. All women characters need to be at least one of:The good ending is that the wife becomes lesbian?
Even more so in the indie space, where titles get publicity and good scores for showing a message.
Very lame and if I was a woman I would be pissed: almost feels like the writers are implying that a woman can only be heroic if she isn't feminine.
I think girls should be hot, orientation optional(there are quite a few great games where the characters lesbian but well written where it's just a trait not the entire character) and they should be high charisma to weasel their way out of tough situations. That's what the writers should be starting with. Otherwise you just turn a character into a recycled trope with no identity which is just ironic since usually the goal for these girlboss types is to have an identity.
It's so awful. Like the only way they know how to make a "strong female character" is by making her some smug know-it-all who bosses people around, and by making all the men stupid, meek, or cocksure so that she looks superior in comparison.
Exactly man. I grew up playing games on a N64 and a GC and a lot of those games let you play as female characters that were cool, yet still feminine and attractive and I never saw any issue with that. Don't and probably will never understand why they insist so much on giving them male traits nowadays or making them look ugly on purpose, it's weird.
Yeah, I think it's a decent story, but the lesbian cop-out feels like a last-minute addition to have a DEI layoffs shield.

I wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment - You are talking about confirmation bias, and that is used by people from all perspectives to suss out their preferred outrage, agenda, etc…
Gist of the matter is that those people don't want to make a good movie or game, but to "send a message" or, most probably, feed their own ego via some "vengeance against the status quo" only they care about.
