@Tiihshinoda@BoJoHihn286@rafadazora@RinoTheBouncer It's definitely a touchy subject which is why I say it has to be done right. 1. It has to make sense & fit the narrative. 2. It matters who is driving that change. Someone like a Cory Barlog or Hideo Kojima, I trust their judgement. They see big picture & think things through.
@kleverklogs1@Grandmasta_Hash@Chriss_m@CultureCrave You are either 1. Pretty young...or 2. Highly privileged. Do you know how ppl act when basic life needs are not met? Ppl can resort to some grimey tactics. Back to gaming/TV...that is the whole premise of TLOU and Walking Dead. The people are the true monsters...not the zombies.
@OsheaJacksonJr Respect! ๐ Brought up some solid examples. Abby/Ellie...both females but Abby "looked" the part - like she could handle herself. The Snake/Raiden switch up had me really concerned at first, but MGS2 turned out great! I get the backlash over Faye but ima give it a chance & see!
@RinoTheBouncer I really feel like ppl are prematurely judging Phranque. I think he's going to turn into a total badass as the game progresses. No way he just stays a jelly cube that bounced around. I can see some crazy abilities unlocked as we progress. Same w/ Rue.
@kleverklogs1@Grandmasta_Hash@Chriss_m@CultureCrave I call 100% BS. Most ppl cater to their instincts - esp young or immature ppl. We have higher brain function but are absolutely still animals at our core. Perfect example: shut down all grocery, convenience stores, & gas stations & watch what happens. Survival instincts kick in.
@BoJoHihn286@rafadazora@RinoTheBouncer Yes, females mostly play more on mobile. I get your angle & the frustration that comes w/ seeing more male protagonists being replaced w/ female leads. If you were a business & trying to raise earnings, it makes sense to try to appeal to females...but it has to be done right ๐ฏ.
@Grandmasta_Hash@Chriss_m@CultureCrave Lol! Because average guys become billionaires, right? Only young boyz mistake age for weakness. Just bc it looks different doesn't mean they're not alphas. They're just alphas on a level you can't comprehend.
@CoreyVersho@KhronysVT@spacersbackup@SonySantaMonica Lol! Dumbass that fucking frozen lightning bolt Kratos ran into in Vanaheim is a remnant of the epic battle Faye had against Thor way before she met Kratos...also wielding the Leviathan Axe.
@nerdverso_o@willroxass Faye's not replacing Kratos either. The entire story is bigger than Kratos. If you watch the dev talk, they outright said that Kratos is still the main driver and they have more stories to tell for him.
@Chriss_m@CultureCrave For a short period, yes. Do you really think that a bunch of alpha types can coexist in the same space for an extended time & eventually not want to start 1-upping the next guy? These are ppl that are used to being the shit in most rooms they enter. Don't want to share spotlight.
@ziiwizz@insomniacgames I believe there are sections that would be considered "wide linear" where it's not corridor type level design. There's some room to move around and approach from different paths or angles.
@nib95_@VPKevinButler Plus the fact she's rolling around in dirt & mud fighting who knows what. Idk why these ppl expect Faye to look like a Victoria's Secret model. It's wild out here in these skreets!
@BoJoHihn286@rafadazora@RinoTheBouncer Actually, the delta between male & female gamers is getting close to even with males still slightly in the lead. So the short answer is "yes". If you do not agree, get your coin up, gather some like-minded developer friends, & start your own studio. Then you can make whatever.
@RatterreeDaniel@SpawnYaardReply It is purposely out of place since the Everwhen realm is a place where magic thrives. Freya, Angrboda, & Faye are more magic based characters...even Atreus.
@neverHealthy@SpawnYaardReply Watch the dev talk on the PS channel. The director outright says this realm is heavily tied to magic...which is why Faye will do better in it vs. Kratos who is more brute strength w/ light use of magic. Faye is the opposite but nearly just as powerful but in her own way.
@rafadazora@RinoTheBouncer Good point! Now put yourself in a female's place. The large majority of "heroes" and main characters are still primarily males...always has been. I'm cool with women getting some shine! I have alot of strong women in my family so it's cool to see them represented too!
@RinoTheBouncer@VPKevinButler You should add an "I could care less" option. If the story & gameplay are good then what does it really matter? Kickass females are not new.
Games: Lara Croft, Chun-Li, Seamus Aran, Jill Valentine, Tifa.
Movies: Ripley, Sarah Connor, Trinity, The Bride, etc...the list goes on.
