@Ashields899@Cyb4rAnG3L No. Its because its lazy. Its corporate slop. They are just replacing male leads for their corporate check list.
The only reason the games sell is because of those that came before and they know it.
@KhleoThomas@SonySantaMonica We love women. We hate corporations that gender swap. Its lazy as fuck and feels so inorganic. I really hope the gaming community comes together on this one.
@IGN Fuck all of them.
Its not because you have to play as a girl.
It is because they are doing corporate checklist replacement.
So many good female leads in games.
@JohnnyGaming9 When you just insert female characters into established games it feels like a corpo slop checklist.
Tons of great games with female leads. Tomb Raider being one.
@SonySantaMonica There are so many great games with female leads.
Simply replacing male leads with your sloppy corpo check list is sad.
I, along with many others will not financially support this shit.
@E4xtream Alot of those stories were amazing actually. They were originally female leads and that lead to some great games.
What they did not do is simply remove the male character and insert a female for some corporate check list.
It all feels so artificial and forced.
I really enjoy playing as female characters. I typically pick them when given the opportunity.
But this isn't about that at all. I want to play a God of War game as KRATOS. Not his wife, not even his kid. KRATOS.
And frankly, mythologies are so interesting, I would love a game about a female god (or male, that's fine too). But this isn't even that.
It's a corporate box-ticking exercise and anyone with a brain knows that. Nobody asked for this.
@E4xtream Its ok to have a different opinion. There is a clear agenda here.
Notice how all of these amazing games originally had male characters. Its just lazy. South Park nailed it.
@Middlest0rm@Sony I love female characters. I just think its so shoehorned. Literally replacing every male character with a female is dumb as fuck. Make new stories with lead females. That's it.
