@GreatAuk I agree its a small minority but that minority sure as hell will make themselves vocal. Hell look at this comment thread we have people crying over Lara having muscles (what makes complete sense giving her what she does) to the point comments are being removed. Nowadays it appears unless a female protag looks like Stellar Blade's Eve a certain crowd will cry and troll every article and post related to the character.
@GreatAuk I mean Joel, Marcus Fenix, Leon Kennody, Nathan Drake, Mario and Joker from Persona 5 all have different sizes and builds but Abby dare have muscles and people freak out.
@Blaze215 Get over yourself dude because you know the saying is "beauty is in the eye of the beholder". There's no growing trend its just Devs creating more realistic looking women of all types instead of the generic big boobed white girl who looks like a page 3 model. I mean why is it that gaming men can come in all shapes and sizes but women must all look the same? Oh i know why we all do 😉😂
The camera change is good but i will admit it does make me feel like i'm playing RE2R a bit at times, not really a fault though just a minor quirk for me.
@Blofse I mean what 4 characters, one stage and a bunch of skins? Base game has way way more content then what they put out post launch. End of the day we got exactly what the season pass said we would get 4 characters and some awful gold suits and nothing more. Its a live service fighting game it was never going to just stop at season passes i dunno why people thought otherwise.
@Blofse I mean Tekken 8 was a fairly complete game at launch. People moan about the battle passes (what are insanely cheap) and a paid stage but it doesn't stop it from being the most complete fighter out of the big 3, hell the same update that added a paid stage also added more story content for free but everyone likes to ignore that.
Only played the first hour and so far Blooper have done an excellent job, the visuals are stunning while still keeping the atmosphere intact. Hopefully this is a turning point for Blooper.
Awful remake. My friend got it and we spent the day playing it and yeah its a really bad remake. So much music removed including the main theme, poor framerate, new lighting kills the atmosphere and the new camera angle is just mind boggling dumb. The OG version played on PS5 is the best way to play Until Dawn.
Kinda funny how MS is paying for marketing and Gamepass when the PS5 playerbase will outnumber everyone playing it on Xbox.
I myself pre-ordered it this week for PS5. I've actually not been following the game and only only know its a new Atlas JRPG but yep other then that i'm in the dark and i'm kinda excited because of that.
@PuppetMaster I mean Space Marine is a GoW clone, it lacks the cover system sure and its very melee focused but its clear GoW was what they borrowed from most.
@PerpetualBoredom AC has never been rooted in 100% accuracy because one its a video game and two its about a war between ancient factions battling over objects like the actual Apple of Eden made by God like beings who predate humans and who also created Adam and Eve. Ubi have never claimed the series is a history lesson that depicts everything as it actually happened and no one cared about historical inaccuracies in the series until a black man was involved. Aya never killed Cleo in real life because Aya is fiction and Cleo committed suicide but no one cared did they. George Washington didn't team up with a Native American assassin to win his war also and again no one cared. Pirates like Blackbeard were shown to be ok people rather then the blood thirsty creatures all pirates were. In the French Revolution they didn't all speak with english accents. You get my point?
Look you can think Yasuke wasn't a samurai all you want but all the info we have of him paints him as one and Japan almost always depicts him as one in anime, films and games. We know for a fact he was a retainer and retainers were samurai's.
Not great news. The recent one is fine i liked it but its carried hard by its visuals and art design, granted its very Dark Souls visually but it looks fantastic. This sequel i feel is just fixing something that doesn't need fixing.
Honestly this is what i hate about a lot of Soulslikes. They lack their own identity and just copy DS with maybe a gimmick thrown in. A big reason Remnant 2 and Lies of P are so good is because they actually bring new ideas and in the case of LoP improve on the standard formula something most Soulslike don't do. LoF2 sounds like a case of copying the popular game again while offering nothing new and ditching the biggest strength of the previous entry.
@47Levi Afro Samurai was also partly inspired by Yasuke as well. Shadows topped pre-orders in Japan and i wouldn't be shocked if Yasuke is a selling point for them.
@Jebeye Mirage was meant to be DLC for Valhalla and its a direct prequel to Valhalla, its also more of a spin off then a mainline entry. Ubi were also pretty clear early on that Shadows was more on line with the "RPG" trilogy then the classic entries. Anyway AC Shadows has two characters one is an assassin and is way more stealth focused. Think how Syndicate done the Twins, one was a brawler and pretty loud and had his gang while the other was stealth focused and was more committed to being a silent assassin.
@Vaako007 He was a retainer meaning he was a samurai. Japan considers him a samurai its why they always depict him as one when they put him in anime, films and games.
@Jebeye I want evidence for these rumours because so far it seems like "so so said this" with no real source backing it up.
Also Odyssey had you play as Spartan demi-god and Valhalla one of the biggest selling entries had you playing as Odin now reborn as viking warrior but sure a black samurai is out of place for the series.
@KeenAerondight and i'm not interested in talking about things that don't relate to Ubi or AC Shadows. Also "DEI" yeah the left are starting to drop that term wanna know why? Its now a code word for a very nasty word used by the chuds who want to say that word without actually saying it and so instead say "DEI" in its place.
@jedinite Go woke go broke? The two biggest films of the year are very woke and one of the biggest selling games this year is Helldivers 2. Last year Baldur's Gate 3 dominated gaming and that's the gayest game ever where everyone is pansexual and just want to f**k each other, in fact Larian had to tone down how horny some of the characters were due to how quick you could bed some of them. The "go woke go broke" BS is false, Th3Birdman done a video completely destroying it not long back as well. Finally how is Outlaws "woke"? Think about your response to that.
@jedinite That "source" you mentioned. Sure though let's say they're "accurate". In 2020 there's a good chance Ubi hadn't even fully decided on the lead, that "original" lead was a placeholder something they made to help with game making its really common actually when you're haven't fully decided on story and characters yet. As it is there's zero credible evidence backing this up its just something a certain crowd is latching on to so they can justify the hate. Honestly sounds like the type of BS Asmongold (or how ever you spell it i don't care) or Critical Drinker would make up for their grift.
