Le problème n’est pas « jouer une femme ». Le problème est le pattern qui est devenu impossible à ignorer ces dix dernières années dans le AAA.

God of War, c’est Kratos. C’est un guerrier spartiate brisé, un anti-héros masculin brut, violent, tragique. Changer le protagoniste principal pour sa femme dans une nouvelle itération, c’est comme faire un nouveau Halo sans Master Chief ou un nouveau Doom sans le Doomguy. Ce n’est plus la même promesse.

On a vu le même schéma partout :
•Assassins Creed passe de Ezio/Alexios à des protagonistes féminines systématiques.
•Battlefield et d’autres licences « diversifient » en remplaçant.
•Star Wars, Marvel, etc. : les hommes sont souvent relégués ou ridiculisés.

Ce n’est pas de la paranoïa. C’est un constat. Et très souvent, ces changements s’accompagnent d’une écriture plus faible, de personnages qui servent d’abord un message plutôt qu’une histoire.
Les joueurs n’ont jamais eu de problème avec les femmes fortes bien écrites (Lara Croft, Samus, 2B, Aloy dans Horizon 1, etc.). Le ras-le-bol vient quand on sent que le genre est devenu un critère de casting prioritaire sur la qualité du personnage et le respect de l’ADN de la licence.

Dire « mais on jouait un hérisson bleu ! » c’est de la mauvaise foi. Sonic n’était pas un héros humain dans une saga ultra-narrative centrée sur la masculinité toxique et la rédemption. God of War, si.

Le vrai problème n’est pas le sexe du protagoniste.
C’est qu’une partie de l’industrie a décidé que l’identité comptait plus que l’histoire, que le message comptait plus que le fun, et que les fans historiques pouvaient aller se faire voir s’ils n’étaient pas contents.
On ne demande pas que tous les jeux aient des mecs baraqués.
On demande juste qu’on arrête de transformer des licences cultes en outils de signalement vertueux.
Si le jeu est excellent, les gens l’achèteront.
Si c’est encore un produit « inclusif » avant d’être un bon jeu… on sait déjà comment ça finit.

@DiscussingFilm Yeah...
I bet instead it's going to have RAP in it...

With Travis Scott as the 'bard'... LMAO, this movie is gonna be peak modernist garbage.

Finally caught up with Mixtape and gosh the tears in my eyes...the plot, the characters, the art, the lore, the emotional moments, the dialogue, the writing…everything was hack garbage from beginning to end.

@HurricanePL2 @IGN 💯🙌 I’m Black…. And I’m sick and tired of it. Western Devs are obsessed with gay bald ugly lesbians.

Asian Devs and a few others are the only ones making us Black folks look and act cool again in games.

It does not snow where I live, so when I ended up knee-deep in the stuff in Crimson Desert when trekking through the mountains I had so much fun

@monkystoky @DONTNOD_Ent Oh my god you're right. I wanted to check if you were being hyperbolic but you were not.

This indie dev is making a game where your Steam backlog comes to life… & tries to kill you.

- Fight the games you never played
- The more you paid, the stronger they are
- You’re literally battling your backlog

It’s called Game Quest: The Backlog Battler. Would you play this?

“It’s called the Rasengan. They say my Rasengan is the best one they’ve ever seen. I concentrate my chakra perfectly. Nobody concentrates chakra like me. Look at this perfect spiral. You know most Presidents only have one chakra nature, I have all five.”

This is done perfectly.

The MMIWG2LGBTQQIA+ is NOT inclusive ENOUGH

[Homie Santo @HomieSanto]

I’ve noticed a pattern; when a decent game comes out that expects you to be curious, to be observant and to pay attention, a lot of tourists-turned-reviewers are the first to rage quit, refund, or low-grade that game.

Some games aren’t for everyone, but I’m starting to think the pattern is made pretty clear by those who say they don’t like yellow paint, but absolutely need it.

[Homie Santo @HomieSanto]

No need to apologize. To most gamers, we all knew the Ai assets were temporary.

Even if they weren’t, those were so inconsequential in the scheme of such a large game with 95% of the assets being human made.

All the performative antics from a certain group never changed that; They only pushed postured content to farm botted likes from. They were never going to buy your game in the first place.

[Homie Santo @HomieSanto]

They always cut out stuff in the American versions of Anime

[Homie Santo @HomieSanto]

IGN is treating Crimson Desert like it launched in the same state as Cyberpunk 2077.

Makes me wonder if IGN got a check from Pearl Abyss like they did with Marathon, would they be more accommodating?

[Homie Santo @HomieSanto]

Love seeing cool ideas like this
