Where do they get the energy to be this outraged over nothing all the time?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago

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.

You shouldn't even be on twitter!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

I’m not, I wasn’t even on the og twitter. Never really like the format for it.

[–] FMT99 2 points 12 hours ago

Both being a bigot for money and pointing out bigots for money is big business. Neither is going anywhere fast.

I do not care about the actor at all, I would have played the Japanese dub anyways, what I do care about is Sakai, after teasing us at the end of Ghost of Tsushima about Mongols in China and the Ghost's name spreading there they come and do this? I will wait for Jin's next game, if there isn't one then I'm not playing. Simple as.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

...its several hundred years into the future of course Jin's story is forgotten

[–] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago

No other literary work has jumped time like that and left its old protagonist behind. None at all.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 15 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago

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!

[–] RangerJosie 10 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago

Coming to ABC this Fall!

[–] [email protected] 84 points 1 day ago (1 children)

disagree with LGBT

Then I disagree with your existence too, dipshit.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I disagree with gravity. Can’t fly yet but I’m working on it. \s

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

The trick is to have someone distract you mid-fall, so you forget to land.

You're a soulist, then.

[–] [email protected] 87 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

[–] xenoclast 1 points 12 hours ago

It's a weird hobby they have. Hating. Very weird

[–] [email protected] 121 points 1 day ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (3 children)

Their name is Erika Ishii! They're a great comedian too, they've made a lot of appearances on Dropout

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Erika is genderfluid and uses they/them pronouns.

[–] kryptonianCodeMonkey 27 points 1 day ago

I was gonna say those 12 pixels looked like Erika

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

I have never loved her energy, but happy for her success.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 20 hours ago

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!

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I’m excited to see the “go woke go broke” crowd lose their minds over this when this turns into a great success

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Isn't this like Ghost of Tsushima sequel? It's gonna be great success for most people.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yes, but it’s a female protagonist now, which triggers a certain set of people.

I’m excited. The game looks awesome!

Gamers! They are targeting gamers!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[–] gmtom 37 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Litterally everything I see/hear about Erika just makes me love them more

[–] [email protected] 18 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They're also a regular on Dropout's shows, like Game Changer, Make Some Noise and Dimension 20.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 21 hours ago

WAIT THAT'S WHY THEY LOOKED FAMILIAR

I'm definitely getting this game, this is amazing

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

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.

[–] TrousersMcPants 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

What does Ubisoft have to do with this?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Oops I thought it was a Ubi title because everyone was discussing it under the AC article the other day

Just played "Ghost of Tsushima" for 5 Hours. It's so good. I Play will Ghost of Yotei. No Matter What.

[–] TotallynotJessica 9 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

Now I have become interested in the game
