Like I said, Luke is complete control during that entire scene. He clearly outmatches Rey when it comes to both the use of the force as well as his decades worth of experience with a lightsaber. TFA's story is compelling because of what it represents. Surface level comparisons to a new hope are just that, surface level. The context of events and the nuances are very different, and that's not even getting into the cast of characters. That story is not how you bring SW back into cinema relevance.

Snoke isn't a sith so the rule of 2 doesn't apply. Darth Maul living was one of the greatest things they ever did with the character, emphasis on that word, because he wasn't a character in Episode 1. He was basically an action figure. Snoke is from the outer rim but that's superfluous information that none of the characters are questioning and/or worried about. The rule of 2 didn't exist until the prequels, and it was created to justify Palpatine always being in the background. But even a good decade before the prequel films the rule of 2 was null and void because characters like Mara Jade existed but was never mentioned in the films: What he represents is important. He's a legend and a jedi, the combination of those two things breed hope, Snoke's plan was to snuff out all hope in the galaxy. People had all but given up hope because of how dire things became, just a day beforehand the FO decimated the new republic, with Luke and the jedi nowhere to be found. Snoke created the connection but he didn't see what either of them saw. Luke was also cut off from the force for a large portion of the film. That's not what's established in TLJ. Other people not named Anakin Skywalker have been powerful with the force. You got Palpatine, Yoda, Ahsoka, Obiwan, etc., Regarding the bolded, pay attention, Luke is in complete control of this situation: He is in no way shape or form outmatched. The gap is clear and telegraphed by his body language and Rey's, even when he falls over he breaks his fall using the force. What in tarnation are you talking about, how is this a tiny lil military start up group? Second, when does the film EVER state that they control the galaxy? They don't, but since they pretty much destroyed the closest thing to a main line of defense the threat of them doing so is closer than ever. As Rey said, it'd only take a few weeks. Snoke reacted calmly when informed about the destruction of their base, that in and of itself represents how little it bothers him due to their resources. It is never stated that Luke left the map behind. This map's not complete. It's just a piece. Ever since Luke disappeared, people have been looking for him. Why'd he leave? He was training a new generation of Jedi. One boy, an apprentice turned against him, destroyed it all. Luke felt responsible... He walked away from everything. Do you know what happened to him? There're a lot of rumors. Stories. This all depends on your trajectory and path. Ever since a new hope it was established that light speed can result in destruction: Traveling through hyperspace isn't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it? Rey always knew who her parents were, she was figuratively and literally running away from the truth and living in denial. Her motivation is doing what she things is the right thing for the galaxy, and right now the right thing is helping the rebellion defeat the first order. Rey has had years of combat practice on Jakku, and no, dueling doesn't require years of practice since the force is literal space magic that augments your perception and reflexes. The biggest obstacle to learning about the force is doubting it, Luke doubted it in ANH & ESB. Also how is Rey a master of the force? Literally all we've seen her do is grab things with it and use a mind trick on a stormtrooper. We've seen Kylo stop blaster bolts in mid air and violently read minds, we've seen Snoke form a connection between Force sensitive individuals, use force lightning, toss humans around like a ragdoll,, we've seen Luke project himself across the galaxy, (Anch-to augmented him but the point stands). Rey isn't a master, she just never stops to tell herself this: she instead tells herself this:

Explaining the origin of the avatar is like using midichlorians to explore the force, as in, no one was really wondering about where the avatar came from. However, execution matters, and boy did they do a VERY good job as Wan is fantastically designed, his character arc is succinctly written, and the VA put in the work. Where a lot of other media attempts to fit that sort of story into the neatest bow possible, (" :O") Wan's story avoids that entirely and focuses on what's important while leaving enough up to the imagination for the audience with it's imagery. Season 2 is absolutely the worst season of Korra, but Wan's story was a highlight of the Avatar series overall even if it was focused on answering questions that no one was asking.

It wasn't him turning the page, it was him shattering his world view, leaving him in a sort of limbo until the moment he kills Snoke. Killing his master to gain power was something that Vader was never able to accomplish despite planning more than twenty years. Palpatine threatened him multiple times for even thinking about doing that. And he wasn't kidding, as he killed Vader when the latter finally made a move. The reasons Ben and Vader killed their master are on literal opposites of the spectrum.

You got lootboxes, an incredibly grindy lvl system designed to encourage you to spend money on shortcuts, multiple currencies, basically everything that results in whales spending a shit ton of money on the game. You can absolutely bet that TLOU2 will likely be just like Uncharted 4 when it comes to the monetization of their MP, so like I said, ND's games are GaaS.

Evie is in two out of those three trailers. The breakdown can also be skewed much more towards Evie, (I certainly know that I spent the majority of my time playing as Evie in Syndicate). In terms of main missions, 7 of them include the option to play as either or. It's not only down to whoever's in front on the cover. On top of that you're forgetting that there's an entire section where you play as their granddaughter during WW1: on top of like you said, Evie being the focus of the main dlc.

Thread: Ubisoft reponse to Kassandra not being featured in Odyssey marketing
In terms of the main trailers, minus the CGI spot, they were pretty much equal. Yes Jacob has more main missions than Evie but they're still equal in the context of the game's story. I'm seriously not seeing the issue with Alexios being on the cover if it's reversible, ideally there would be some copies with the Kassandra side facing up. I can absolutely understand the thinking behind Kassandra being absent from the reveal trailer based on how they showed off the game. They, like the other games at their show at e3, showcased the trailer right off the bat, and during the presentation, one of the first things they revealed is that for the first time, you have a choice of gender, like that was supposed to be and is treated as a surprise even though it was leaked earlier...: Also what CG trailer?

There are multiple Kassandra figurines: To say that she isn't part of the marketing is a bit misleading given her prominence in gameplay demonstrations and the multiple dev diaries of the game. Evie literally saves London from not just the templars but her own brother. She's absolutely a main character in the game.

After the initial reveal Jacob and Evie were pretty much inseparable when it came to trailers. Like even during the on stage reveal, they focused on during the demonstration videos of the game's new mechanics followed by a full demo featuring Kassandra. I wouldn't say that their marketing department is genuinely trying to hide Kassandra from the public view or make it seem like Alexios is the focus.

It doesn't address it. And that's aprt of the issue, because we get two more uncharted games, one where Drake kills almost twice as many dudes and i's never addressed, the other much more grounded in reality to the point that there isn't even a supernatural twist anymore. Where Drake, coined an "every man" by his creators, gleefully says "Like a ninja" after snapping the necks of several mercenaries without them ever knowing he was there, followed by the main villain saying "These guys don't kill in cold blood. That's not their style.." That's a conflict of narrative and gameplay. Compare that to Rise and apparently SOTR, or God of War, where the game's narrative multiple time addresses acknowledges Lara's violent nature instead of pretending that it doesn't exist.

Your hypothetical is basically "If they made a film that's as good as TLJ you guys would be defending it." Which is an aggressively stupid thing to say, because people tend to defend good films. And as it stands, TFA and TLJ are great films with very well laid out messages. In your haste to accuse people of fanboyism, you're explicitly missing the point. -People like TFA for "being safe" because they saw the point i.e. the official return of a franchise that's been mocked to hell and back for over a decade outside of one good cartoon stands as a reminder of why everyone fell in love with the franchise in the first place while introducing it to a new audience that's rightfully nervous for lack of a better phrase about SW being back. -People like TLJ for being an atypical film because it's a direct followup of that celebration with a critique on the themes of the franchise and the idealization of the old guard vs the new generation, and it concludes that critique by once again, celebrating the heroes we grew up with, and rightfully handing over the franchise to the new generation.

It was absolutely poor at the time and it hasn't aged well at all. They didn't shit on it's legacy in any sense of the word. There's critique but at the same time there's WAY more explicit celebration of the franchise itself. Take for instance a character like Kylo Ren, who can't compare at all to the legacy of Darth Vader, and that's the point like this is what they showed after TFA released as to remind everybody who they're comparing Kylo Ren to: TLJ ends once again, on being a celebration of SW by having the kids talk about how badass Luke is. It sounds like you feel personally attacked by the idea of critique in the first place and thus ignore how much the film's creators explicitly love SW and put every bit of that in the work itself. Starting with Rey, the main character of this trilogy, the self insert for the audience, who's simultaneously someone unaware of the exact specifics of events but also LITERALLY a SW fangirl, representing both newcomers and older viewers.

SW is good not because of the cohesion of it's lore but because of the messages in the media itself. First, why would Kylo care? Why would Kylo already not be aware in some way by the events of the films? You can't write Snoke explaining his backstory in these films, you can't have some grand reveal because the characters themselves wouldn't care. Because at that point, the characters are talking SOLELY to the audience, not actually talking to the characters of the narrative itself in a way that makes sense. The PT gave us way more than enough of that.

There's nothing that says that they know who he explicitly is other than Snoke. The vast vast majority of the Empire and even the chain of command didn't even know that the emperor was a sith lord until after his death. Hux, Snoke, and Kylo discuss the things they wanna do multiple times, they wanna destroy the resistance, find and kill Luke Skywalker, and take over the galaxy, that's their main objective, it never strays from that. Because he doesn't need to be explained and there's zero way to do that without it being the equivalent of this: You're looking for a grand reveal when one likely doesn't' even exist not because the creatives don't know or have an idea but because everyone in the film except for the main characters thrust into adventure for the first time in their lives get the gist of the situation and the players involved. They don't NEED a scene explaining who Snoke is, Read the bolded and underlined over and over until it clicks. If you still don't get it, then read it again until you do. Same.

Again, who at any point expresses interest in where Snoke came from? No one does, because the characters are directly related to Kylo, not Snoke. Kylo is the main villain of the trilogy. Also Snoke isn't the origin of FO. He just took control while it was being built. Information that is superfluous and not at all relevant to the themes/messages of either film. Just like how Luke never asked about where the emperor came from, because Darth Vader is the immediate interest and as far as he's concerned, he cares about Snoke being dead. So not only was the drop off in line with how second films in trilogies usually perform, but the film got overwhelmingly positive reception from critics, no amount of youtube video essays and angry forum posts can change history, the films are critical and commercial successes.

Just wouldn't buy that the dude who spent YEARS arguing that a dude wasn't actually evil, would not only cheat, but have his wife take care of the child. The kids believing something that contrived and stupid makes sense, they're kids, the adults though? Nah. One convo could've solved that entire situation.

No one in that arc spoke clearly...AT ALL, everyone spoke cryptically and vaguely for no reason. The thought of Sasuke literally never meeting his kid or stopping by his home when he can teleport across the country. The fucking dna test. Orochimaru literally just chilling and no one cares. Kabuto getting what's essentially a sharingan militia. A perfectly contrived trainwreck of a story.

There's being 12 and shy about a crush and then there's the stalker type of love that was Hinata's characterization. Arguably the amount of shit Naruto is willing to forgive is ridiculous and sorta speaks volumes about his regard for human life. He's nowhere near as bad as Sasuke but goddamn is he an irrational person. The romances of the series are generally poorly written. What happened when the series ended was hilarious:

Yes, it's bad that she's so weak in terms of characterization that hey, Naruto of all people saying a couple lines is enough to fix everything. Like there's seriously no depth to their relationship because of how little screentime she actually gets and how little of that screentime is spent establishing Hinata as anything more than "Shy girl who loves Naruto." Like are you genuinely going to argue that their relationship has depth when it took a literal hallucination to make Naruto even acknowledge their history. That's honestly a Sakura tier L.

Having lots of frames of animation tends to work way better with 3D animation even when it's stylized to look like a comic book. And even in this trailer the best looking parts are undoubtedly that parts with more fluid animation. The choppiness is takes away quite a lot from the dialogue scenes imho. There are parts where I thought the audio was taken from different scenes and spliced into that part of the trailer but nope, it was actually the audio and scene. :| On a more positive note, that "I love you" scene is one of the most relatable things i've ever seen in an animated film...EVER. I've had that exact conversation with my mother, so many times as a young teen.

Honestly thinking about it this game has some genius design decisions, the combination of three factors makes this game such a joy to play. -There's never a time when the controls change no matter what you're doing. Whether it's climbing running around, using a mount, or swimming the controls are always the same, leading to an incredibly smooth experience as you seamlessly switch between modes of play. -The fact that everything is climbable even without visual handholds, this change alone does an insane job on incentivizing exploration, there's never a time where you feel the need to stop and turn around to find another way up a mountain or glitch your way past it. This also makes infiltration and exfiltration so smooth as you can approach from any angle without any concerns, (literally every base in the game is designed to accommodate this). A fantastic and natural evolution of the game design of the last three games. Which were designed similarly. -The living breathing open world, there's so much good here with the combination of the AI and it's proper reactions to many scenarios, the schedules of npcs, and the simulation elements like fire propagation. It leads to an incredibly varied experience because so many things can happen at any given time when you're just wandering around the world. A quiet through the canyons can be interrupted by bandits who've hidden themselves so that they can attack wandering npcs or you, or a stealthy silent infiltration in the marshlands can be interrupted by a sudden alligator attack. Genuinely my favorite open world game to play this gen.

One thing that's weird about this game is how the cinematics don't seamlessly transition into gameplay anywhere near as often compared to previous titles. Part of what made AC1 "nextgen" was how cinematics would seamlessly transition into gameplay and the series never really strayed away from that, hell they even emphasized it later on when fully mocapped cutscenes would seamlessly transition back into the gameplay compared to having Altair stay in one place. In this game the majority of cinematics fade to black when they start end. Even in the middle of quests, (before if a mission was active cinematics wouldn't fade to black when they started).Gotta say I prefer seamless transitions, especially in the short instances that this game does incorporate seamless transitions. They make the experience feel more cohesive as a whole. They do double damage meaning they make battles a whole lot easier but way more risky as you only have 1 health bar.

Honestly your posts speak more to just how limited npcs in general are in the industry considering that I genuinely can't think of a game with more lifelike npc interactions. The only comparable example I can think of is WD2, because that AI can be angered or amused depending on what you do to them. The repeating lines are an issue but the npcs are still impressive with the amount of things they react to. Like trying to help you when you're on fire by throwing sand on you. Or helping you out if you're swimming. Or hell a fun one, I have footage of an npc who saw me get attacked by a crocodile and said npc proceeded to ram his boat directly into the crocodile to help me. Plus it's not just you that they interact with but rather with each other.

Just as an example of the attention to detail, this is just one group of npcs in this huge open world doing their own thing: Watch til the 45:40 mark for that instance. And there are tons of other examples with that much attention to detail like literally 3 act plays, people dancing, people partying. It's genuinely an impressive mix of animation work and npc AI since they eventually stop to sleep or eat.

Another example of impressive AI and animation, is the fact that npcs have more than just one animation for any given action. So there's at least two different reactions to fire being lit, and at least two different animations when npcs try to put it out. And even the fact that the npc realizes that it was Bayek who started the fire, it's hella well done.

Ubi's current design philosophy is to rely less on cinematic story beats, (those beats still exist ofc but this is a VERY far cry™ from the incredibly restrictive linearity of AC3 and to a lesser extent AC4) and more so on more providing more simple objectives while at the same time encouraging player agency in the form of open level design, a ton of tools and maneuverability, and systemic elements to ensure a sense of randomness. This is reflected in all of their recent action adventure open world titles over the past two years, Far Cry Primal, Watch Dogs 2, Ghost Recon Wildlands, and now AC:Origins. The idea is that a lot of the objectives when boiled down are inherently repetitive due to being quite similar, since the objective almost always boil down to rescuing someone, retrieving an item, or reading info, etc., at a first glance, this would lead one to assume that the game is inherently repetitive. However, there are several factors that ensure that the game is always bringing something new to the table -The constant changes in the level design, the majority of which are designed with multiple approaches in mind. Overtime the levels themselves get more and more complex and as a result dangerous as guards become more aware, numerous, and higher level to accommodate the larger fortresses. Hell, even going to a fort via a question mark, and then getting a sidequest to go back to that fort, will yield different experiences. -Systemic elements like animals and npc schedules adding aspects of unpredictability. Depending on when you approach you can infer that the guards will be doing one of many things like sleeping, eating, changing schedules, working etc., on top of elements like animals playing a part as you'll never know if an angry gator or hippo will wander in and aggro the guards or how a lion will react once uncaged. All of the above is still a factor even if you try to make it easier to predict what will occur via manually changing the TOD. The specific region also has an effect on the equipment of the guards with bandits in the desert taming animals, having fire arrows, and hiding out for ambushes. -An ever increasing amount of tools and abilities at the player's disposal thanks to a progression system, (sleep darts, poison darts. different types of bows with effects, more assassination moves etc), Making the amount of effort that goes into each mission entirely dependent on the player. As every approach is viable whether it's storming in, stealthily sneaking up, or using tools to spread chaos. This design philosophy also has the express benefit of straight up enhancing moments that are a bit more scripted and cinematic, when I did a sidequest where I and a bunch of rebels stormed a fort that under normal circumstances I'd be meticulously sneaking into, that made the moment more notable than it would otherwise if that happened constantly. That option still exists they just changed the animation playback for it. Bayek has a more technical way of moving than Arno and the Frye twins. Even the animations ported over from Unity follow that aspect of him.

I think I get the thinking here, the world is so large and filled with villages, forts, lairs, etc. that the needed to make sure that there was an area of the game that felt incredibly dead, so that exploring anywhere is rewarding. But not to the point that it feels bloated but moreso a a "holy shit there's so much to do." And that's just counting sidequests and not the question marks. They really let that new writer go wild.

Combat does have some level of skill involved despite being dictated first and foremost by stats. And a lot of your hangups seem to be based on not understanding the combat system. -If you'd like Bayek to not leave his guard open while locked on or even while not locked on, you need to hold the shield button.....as if you do not the game will assume you want to run away, in the older games running away fluidly was an issue due to the lock on basically locking you into a combat stance. Making it so that the defense stance is done via holding down a button solves that issue entirely. -Dodging doesn't have any invincibility frames meaning you have to be very careful with it, and nothing really requires a roll specifically so the roll acts as a cool down that briefly stops your movement, so it's always better to keep in mind that you dodge twice and then briefly wait to avoid the roll, which is a gain, a cool down. -Dodging can also be used to maneuver and deliver very quick hits on multiple targets. Also remember to switch to projectiles when given the chance as the switching is very fast and fluid. The only time I take damage is when I purposefully let go of the defense button. The timing for parries is so tight that I imagine from a design standpoint it makes sense to lock it away until players have a tighter grasp on the combat mechanics, (and have invested interest in pursuing a melee combat build), compared to being even more frustrated at the start of the game where it low key throws you to the wolves, (almost literally), in Siwa and later Egypt as a whole. The game really wants players to figure out it's mechanics and the nuances on their own. Like the fact that sleep darts cause clouds of sleep gas if thrown in fires. Or the combos of each weapon as you mix heavy and light attacks. Or hell, even that most falls that otherwise would be lethal can be negated completely a long as you hold down X to roll.

The dark souls comparisons come down to the control scheme more than anything else as the combat feels completely different than Dark Souls and isn't meant to be played that way. It also vastly depends on the type of weapon and play style you're doing with the game. I zip around enemies delivering small blows which with a legendary sickle sword that deals bleeding damage makes enemies whittle down quickly even as I go on the defensive, which is hella satisfying on top of using tools like sleep darts to stun them or my shield to poison them. Definitely play more, you'll get into it, as you have a ton of control over Bayek's every move.

Why positioning is hella important, the more you move around the less likely it'll be that enemies will surround you. Also makes it harder for the arrow guys to hit you. And sometimes even just a quick hit+dodge will prevent you from taking damages when surrounded if you're using a faster weapon with a hitbox that hits multiple enemies at once. And I keep reiterating, dodge, unlike in Souls or Witcher, has no i-frames, so you really gotta be careful with it, there's a combat gif a couple pages back of someone perfectly using the dodge mechanic.. Also you don't need to use Senu to find anything but the objective, you can just prop up on a hill nearby and use the sniper bow to mark enemies after that initial step.

I disagree with the notion that everything isn't trying to kill you in Origins, rather, due to the sheer size of the map, and a large array of npc schedules, that there can be longer periods of downtime than in this game than Horizon where everything is more compressed. Horizon feels like the culmination of Ubi's older design philosophies while Origins feels like the culmination of everything they've been working towards in the past couple years in terms of player agency, emergent gameplay, exploration, and world building. Which iirc was part of the point of this game and why it's the new template for the series going forward. Super curious to see where they can go from here.

Gotta say from all the leaked footage I'm a bit disappointed in the animation. Would expect a title like this to have top notch performance capture & animation but it seems fairly standard for a next gen title particular facial animation. Krato's eyes in particular feel really stiff. The rendering looks great though.

Thread: The presence of negative space in Death Stranding's open world is making me excited!
The Witcher 3, BOTW, AC:Origins, Red Dead Redemption, Shadow Of The Colossus, Wind Waker, are examples of this being done well. There's key differences between the above and MGSV, mainly that the empty space doesn't contradict the narrative and theme of the game itself, it enhances it, even the emptiness of SOTC feels more "alive" for lack of a better word. MGSV's negative space works against the game, as it doesn't tell much of a story. It'd be great if they put much more effort into making the world resemble the central conflict and theme of the game instead of making what's essentially a bunch of level interconnected by wide open space.

Here are the kills, aka definitely a display of GODlikE liGHtSaBER SKiLls and totally not a force sensitive scavenger scrapping by Totally on par with Kylo: They definitely NEVER make sure to explicitly emphasize the difference in skill level with the editing, shot composition and choreography: Ofc the film is framed initially for the viewer to not trust Holdo as it's from Poe's perspective. However, the "Holdo should've listened to Poe" arguments make zero sense, the moment Leia shoots Poe is when it clicks for the audience. Poe agrees as he wakes up and Leia explains Holdo's motives. Makes no sense to continue arguing that Poe deserved to be let in on the plan anyway. It's like the people who still think Rey's parents are kenobis or skywalkers.

I remember there was a list of missions you should do in order to get the most cohesive story of how the revolution is going vs Arno's personal quest. Some of them even take place after the campaign itself ends. I agree that unlocking them as the player progresses through the story might've been a better design decision however that kinda conflicts with the overall aim of freedom that they were going for. Also could've been down to time, as the focus on the engine upgrades led to less polish when it came to gameplay design.

You should probably watch the film again because this is not what happens in anyway shape or form. Finn specifically tells Rose about the tracking to try and convince her to let him escape, they then go to Poe. If you haven't noticed, Finn's not a janitor, he's down sanitation duties, but he's also a great soldier, in fact he was the top of his class. Oh we're doing the cinema sins school of criticism where a bunch of bullshit is said because you didn't pay attention to the film.

You're complaining about writing while blatantly misremembering scenes or you remember the scenes but you're inaccurately describing them anyway, that's disingenuous. It's not honest, if you're gonna critique something, you have to accurately describe the events, not "And then they did this, FOR NO REASON." or "This is totally the dialogue of the scene isn't the writing bad gais?" Because when I think of incompetence, I think of soldiers able to react this quickly during combat, compare this to Rey, who missed 90% of her shots when using a blaster for the first time: Or hold their own against Phasma Finn has more than intimate knowledge with the FO's tech and equipment and in both films that was valuable information that set events in motion. He's clearly not incompetent BUT, he was holding himself back by trying to run away from the conflict.

That animation never occurs in the game, nothing in the game resembles you being grabbed by AI, with another arriving to punch you, only for him to express shock at your ally and for your ally to have anywhere near complex enough contextual animation to lead him back to the cover he vaulted over . Uncharted 4 has dynamism and can be cinematic where things happen just the right way, but it's nowhere near that cinematic during regular gameplay. Years after the fact no one has ever been able to replicate that scene because it doesn't exist. The enemies are still in the same position but their actions and AI are custom for that specific part of that demo including the way Nathan knocks the guy out with the object crumbling, because it's not in the game, only smaller scale and much more universal concepts, yes AI helps you out, yes, yes AI can assist each other, yes Nathan Drake in some way takes into account the environment when grappling with enemies, but it's not that cinematic.

I mean obviously the project is progressing since they have genuine gameplay ideas and a demonstration of said ideas.

All E3 demos are heavily rehearsed and choreographed but sometimes it's literally a matter of "this game doesn't exist, this is purely a demonstration that breaks if you deviate."

Gameplay in quotations is inaccurate because we're not in target render category here. There is some level of control. But at the same time there is a LOT of scripting. And the illusion is even broken somewhat when you really examine moments like realistically, the proximity of this enemy result in the player triggering combat. On top of that even if the player avoided it the fact that the enemy never calls out to their allies while going in the direction of a dead body is a huge giveaway that if the player stopped in this demo build, the game would either break or not know what to do. While in the final game the enemy would like say something along the lines of "We got a dead body there's somebody here stay alert!" causing all hostile npcs in the area to enter the investigation phase instead of remaining stationary.

That's what I said earlier. It's scripted to make it seem more cinematic and perfect than an actual gameplay session would be but the concepts are still there. The people denying that there's any scripting involved and that "Oh it's ND" are what confuses me.

No one's calling it a bait & switch. Just calling a spade a spade, in this case, an unfinished game that needs custom animations meant to represent gameplay concepts that aren't anywhere finished yet for the sake of the presentation, thing is, : The ability to dodge melee attacks The ability to pick up throwable items and use them on the fly/ using enemies as human shield Contextual environment takedowns The ability to go through crevices Which is a different situation from say the demos of Tomb Raider or AC:Odyssey, fully playable coming out this year. Meanwhile The Division 2 is almost a year way and has similar levels of perfectly timed moments that are the result of scripted gameplay. Not really actually. Simply because those animations are created specifically for that situation.

Scripted animations meant to represent a gameplay concept. In this case -The fact that AI help you during melee grapples -That contextual environment takedowns exist But neither look this dynamic or cinematic in the final game, and because it was E3 it was highly likely that those systems didn't work well so they added custom animations to show what they were gonna implement on a smaller scale. This TLOU2 demo has plenty of stuff that very likely is the result of the exact same situation.

The Battle of Crait literally wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Poe and Finn's plan. The Battle Of Crait is the literal climax of the film. Luke's biggest obstacle when it came to learning the force was his own self doubt. Not his force exp lvl. Luke learned how to use a mind trick after seeing it once. Ezra was full of self doubt while he learned the force. There's a fundamental difference between Rey, Ezra, and Luke, Rey never questions whether or not something is possible. Ezra does: And so does Luke: When Luke says "Reach out" Rey just does it. And that's why she succeeds. Because unlike Ezra, Luke, and the portion of the audience that so very easily self inserts into that type of character, she doesn't ask stupid questions. Three years later and a scene in TLJ literally dedicated to explaining the reason why Rey beat Kylo for the people who didn't get it, and yet we still have people who didn't get it.... "THE ACT SPLIT YOUR SPIRIT TO THE BONE, YOU WERE UNBALANCED, BEATEN BY A GIRL WHO HAD NEVER HELD A LIGHTSABER!" The majority of the audience and critics got the point, it's not the filmmaker's fault that some people didn't get it, as we still have people questioning Rey beating Kylo years after the fact despite a scene literally dedicated to spelling out what was explicitly shown in TFA. Doesn't help that there's a ton of overlap between the detractors and the "actually the prequels were good" bullshit, because that's basically a generation who grew up on shit storytelling and clunky exposition in SW films.

Thing about motion capture is that it only helps the process, it still requires a ton of polish and using it isn't a guarantee of ideal results. Due to the nature of LiS, namely, the mundanity, it involves characters doing a lot of things that video game characters don't normally do without the budget of a QD game. like see this example where Rachel and Chloe are interacting while the background characters are in idol: But even with the flaws the characters are a ton more nuanced than even the best moments in Telltale games. See Chloe in the following examples.

So you agree with my original statement that Luke redeeming Vader isn't foreshadowed at all in ANH or ESB? Because Snoke got what he wanted and Luke lost everything. Yoda going into exile after the destruction of the order makes sense, however, like many many many things in the prequels, what leads to it makes so little sense upon examination, the battle with Palpatine concludes with him falling down while Palpatine hangs there, other stuff happens elsewhere, and then we cut to an escaping Yoda. As if we hadn't just seen this dude doing superman jumps throughout the throne room. It's like he gave up because he fell first. He also didn't experience despair, at teh end of the film he telegraphs that he's been contacted by Qui Jon, we never see that before the prequels were way more about telling compared to showing.... While you could miss information just by blinking during some scenes in TFA & TLJ. You could consider it this way, Luke was an L that Ben and Yoda were waiting to hand over to Vader and Palpatine. They just needed him to get big enough.

If they had stayed at the base the whole time then Holdo would've never had to do that maneuver because her plan would've worked. Poe's plan failed, and it ended up having devastating consequences for Holdo's plan because it led to the enemy getting intel. They were not in anyway shape or form prepared to battle the FO, it was supposed to be a clean escape while Holdo lures the FO away. Kylo was so blinded by rage that he received the biggest L of his life when the battle on Crait should've been the easiest win ever. Rey on the other hand, was so sure that she could convert Kylo over to her side that she got herself captured and tortured and were it not for Kylo, she would've been run through with a lightsaber after the torture. Every character in this film received an L. The difference between Kylo and the protagonists is that the heroes actually grew as people while he doubled down on his nonsense.

Yea like I said it was solely brought up in ROTJ. The idea for redeeming someone from the dark side is never brought up until ROTJ, even in that article you can see they had drafts that omitted Vader's redemption entirely. Luke blamed himself for letting that happen. Because crippling depression leads to irrational thoughts and self hatred even when you KNOW that something wasn't entirely your fault. We have more than enough scenes that perfectly outline Snoke and Kylo's relationship, he's a naive broken child, Snoke is his master. From the very start of the film we're shown that Kylo's faith is shaken because the first scene between him and Snoke is solely comprised of the latter roasting the shit out of him and everything he stands for as a result of his failure to do something as "simple" as kill his father with no remorse, because that's what Vader would do. Unlike with Vader, we'll now have an entire film dedicated to seeing the result of Kylo taking control.

I'm saying that foreshadowing Vader's turn was not something that happened in either ANH or ESB, it's quite clear that he was the villain. It's an idea that ROTJ went with. Snoke clearly had something to do with Kylo turning but Luke was the catalyst that pushed him over the edge.They aren't filling in every single blank, it's like the OT. And that's part of what makes it great. Luke going through crippling depression instead of following the Yoda archetype is a way more interesting direction. You keep trying to find rational behind his actions when crippling suicidal depression doesn't require logic, Luke lost everything, and he blamed himself: The first thing Snoke tells Kylo is that the reason he keeps Hux around is because weakness can be a sharp tool when properly manipulated, literally the next thing he says after that is "How's your wound..." he roasts Kylo to hell and back and you know what happens next? Kylo goes ham: Kylo then tries to use Rey's biggest weakness against her: It thankfully doesn't work. On top of that, the film very clearly telegraphs that the reason Kylo would be killed by the guards if he attempted to kill Snoke, he's aware of this fact:

Vader's redemption was SOLELY brought up in ROTJ, that was not part of the plan until that film was being written, and it went through several changes until they arrived at the final version of ROTJ. The characters are all concerned about Kylo, not Snoke, Snoke isn't what's important, Kylo is. He's the one with the blood relation to the original trio, he's the one on the front lines, he's the one who's conflicted and further pushing himself down a darker path every chance he gets a shot at redemption. Kylo's the main villain. Snoke is the leader of the first order, and that's what matters as far as teh characters are concerned. Literally the reason Holdo's plan failed is directly due to the actions of the guy who comes back to the bridge every few hours to mansplain about why HE needs to be in on the plan despite his earlier actions leading to his demotion. It was literally working until Poe's plan failed, and even then, she was able to rectify that for a moment by launching herself into the ship in an act of desperation that allowed them to get down to Crait.

That isn't absent from the film. It's literally the scene written out in text form, verbatim, without any changes or additions. This is on the assumption that his suicide run would've worked. It was a literal suicide run that had a major chance of failing. That's the point of the scene. The resistance has to be smart, not just idealistic and sacrificial heroes. We shouldn't make that assumption based on what happens afterwards. The moment Finn gets stopped and they reveal that no one is coming is the moment where it should've clicked for the audience that Finn's sacrifice would've either been for nothing or wouldn't work entirely. Because THAT is the moment where Leia, , says "The galaxy's lost all it's hope, the spark is out..." and THAT is the exact moment where Luke shows up. Going "actually according to calculations based on the size of the craft" is to completely miss the point that scene is making. It's like arguing that Poe should've let Finn go out there to help Luke.

The FO wasn't planning on capturing the ship. They were planning on blowing it up as soon as the shield generator stopped working.

It works because like Leia, Luke believed that the new generation of heroes could actually succeed.

When? Luke used himself as bait. If he couldn't redeem Vader he was gonna sacrifice himself by dying on the Death Star. When events happen after an event in a film you get the point of what came before it. We learn that Finn's sacrifice wouldn't have helped things because no one was coming anyway. Rose was right when she stopped him. A major point of the climax is seeing the result of what happens when a suicidal plan doesn't actually work. It also reinforced the fact that Finn as a person has changed as the Finn at the start of the film would never have tried to sacrifice himself for the resistance.

There are various reasons why he didn't write Luke actually showing up on Caito Bight, Luke getting blown up being one of them. I was clearly talking about the films not the franchise as a whole. Like the film literally establishes what would've happened to Luke, he'd have been killed full stop without ever even getting the chance to light his lightsaber. This is a star wars film, how are a new hope, empire strikes back, or Return of the jedi even subtle about what they're conveying? If anything there's more showing then telling in this film overall when it comes to the point. Congrats on being old enough to see the messaging compared to when you were a kid. You don't have to be a misogynist to not be able to handle emasculation. Poe clearly isn't a misogynist, but oh boy is he like a walking talking example of what mansplaining looks like. What was Poe's character in TFA besides cocky pilot? He was barely a character in that film, here he's given much more characterization, and characterization includes flaws. Did you miss the part where Holdo's sacrifice literally did nothing but delay the FO? Apparently that point was lot on you but please tell us more about how the messaging of the film is too overt as you constantly miss the point.

I just hate silent protagonists in FPS campaigns. Doesn't mean I won't have fun with the game. Don't think voiced protagonists was on the list of things people wanted to have changed. The reason FO4 received backlash for having a voiced protagonist was because it massively reduced the amount of roleplaying options compared to past entries, which, in a RPG where an incredibly large part of the core gameplay was picking dialogue options, is an inherent negative change.

FC protagonists don't talk much outside of main missions. But first and foremost they have a character reacting to the events and characters. That's because the RPG options became much more limiting with voice over lines. Ubisoft handled it the EXACT same way that it was handled in the last games. You aren't choosing dialogue, you're only customizing a character. The cutscenes are still in the exact same format, the only difference is that the character doesn't talk. It's the exact problem that games like Metro, Crysis 2, ODST, Homefront The Revolution, etc. have, yYou're not a emotionless silent floating camera like in Valve and Bethesda games, hence why it's awkward.

You don't respond to people? A silent protagonist doesn't work for a FC game. Pls the character's not even silent, they grunt and stuff.

You've literally not provided any evidence to your claim that Luke would've survived. Other than, "Well Kylo believes that he did, and Kylo is totes not an unstable individual who makes rash decisions and lacks critical thinking skills when he's emotionally bothered by something" SO I have to ask, wtf do you think the point of this scene is? What do you think the creative intent is? When this scene was written and storyboarded out, what do you think was the intention? Because CLEARLY Rian Johnson is wrong about his intent. LUKE IS SO BADASS HE SURVIVES ALL THE THINGS. Aka you continuously miss the point and fail at analyzing the film. Like if your reading of that scene after the reveal is anything OTHER than "Kylo Ren has ceased all rational thought and isn't thinking that something's up because he's blinded by rage." then you seriously misread it entirely. What in tarnation are you talking about? At what point is it ever said or even implied that Kylo knows how to use the projection? It's this, period. Kylo is not very smart when he's angry. That's the point of Luke looking young and having his old lightsaber, because he knows that's what would distract Kylo the most. Compared to the old EU material, the films are hella grounded. Luke's vulnerability is palpable, especially in ESB, where he nearly dies at the start of the film, and gets his hand cut off during the climax before having to contact Leia in order to get saved. In ROTJ, despite the Jabba scenes earlier, he stands no chance again Sidious. Rey is similarly vulnerable.

I personally assume that this convo could itself be an aspect of his training, though it isn't necessarily that, could just be what it appears to be, a dressing down for failure.

Yes, the films are grounded compared to the EU, which includes fireballs, force users literally turning super saiyan, phasing through walls, soul stealing, singlehandedly taking on droid armies without a lightsaber, etc. the single most impressive use of the force in the films is literally a dude everyone into believing he's god tier and capable of surviving stuff that no jedi or even human would ever be capable of surviving regardless of their mastery of the force.

Your hypothetical is that it didn't go the way Johnson wanted, when it so very clearly did. It's part of many hints that Luke isn't there, it's a buildup to the twist. You made no argued about how it doesn't support the point of the film. One of the common things i see among detractors is "Well I didn't get it so obviously the general audience didn't." The point is that Kylo's knowledge about the force doesn't matter, he believes that Luke is there because he's not thinking clearly. That's the point. No not everyone, Leia knew immediately that Luke wasn't there, 3PO knew as well. You can't expect the resistance as a whole to know as they don't know anything about the force aside from it existing, and they deify Luke as well. however, they unlike Kylo were smart enough to realize that Luke's intent was distract the FO long enough for them to find an escape route. Kylo fell for the bait and took an L. Just like he handed himself an L by killing his father. And yes the film is very overt about it's intentions, that's not a criticism, because if you're gonna start whining about SW's messaging being overt then you may as well start with the

They're directly responsible for so much stupid shit in the EU. Which already was full of stupid shit by the time they released, including a christmas special. So is this also a problem in the OT or is it just bad because Rey is a woman? Where in ANH did people move things with the force, where did Luke learn that he could do that? How did he learn the mind trick without any teaching from Obiwan or Yoda? Why is he suddenly so good with a lightsaber in ROTJ despite literally building one during moments before he went to save Han, (meaning a year with no practice)? In fact, how does he know how to build a lightsaber? It's almost like force abilities being pulled "out of their ass" applies to Luke a lot more than it does to Rey. Who sees shit happen first hand and emulates it. I like how peeps are so bothered by the idea of her moving small objects with the force.

Like you literally can't search a clip of TLJ without your recommendations and sidebar being bombarded with videos about how it's the biggest crime in cinema history. Yes they do. The entire crux of Anakin's motivation is his romance with Padme, which is one of the worst romances in mainstream cinema, they never discuss anything like actual people, they never have a relatable conversation, they have zero chemistry. So the entire motivation of our protagonist is based on a relationship with zero chemistry. I've never seen someone successfully defend this romance, at best, only the premise. Which again, is hella shaky because for some reason the PT starts when Anakin is eight years old.

If you're not arguing that Luke should've been there then what are you arguing? That it's possible for him to survive that situation because Kylo believes it? In the OTs it always had a point, these films right down to production decisions are influenced first and foremost by decisions made with the OT as they're a commentary and examination of those films. So we're back, once again, to the use of the force having a point instead of just existing for the sake of looking cool. Luke isn't in his prime, he says as much, he's literally projecting an idealized version of himself. He knows he's not capable of the things he did, but people will believe legends, as the ridiculous legends of Luke Skywalker started not even a year after he redeemed Vader, with stories of him slicing down starkillers with his lightsaber. He's playing into the legend by showing everyone something that's not actually possible for him to do. And it worked, because Kylo Ren is an idiot.

Like had no idea what he would be facing on Crait. Asking us to trust Kylo about the force is like arguing that the last jedi was genuinely asking the audience to "let the past die." As in, a very stupid thing to do, because Kylo is frequently off the mark. Kylo Ren believed it because he's an irrational human being who's ruled by his emotions. He literally knocked out the one dude asking him to focus on the current mission. On top of that, he also believed that Luke for some reason had the lightsaber and looked younger than he did years ago at their temple. It's almost like he wasn't thinking straight and believed something that should've been obvious, especially given the other hints, like Luke no being touched by dust or leaving footprints. All of those have a thematic point, hence why they work in the narrative. You're literally arguing for something to happen because it's cool, not because it has any other thematic point that's relevant to the audience and themes of the film and franchise. An example being the mortality of force users and how only special circumstances allow them to do truly extraordinary things with the force. For instance, they quite clearly telegraph that Anch-To allows for a stronger connection with the force as the temple visibly reacts when Luke contacts Leia.

It is possible because we're years after the release and no one is emulating that model, meanwhile, devs are emulating much more successful models that work with the design of their game. What in tarnation are you talking about? It's not a mistake, gamers™ don't decide the lingo, devs and pubs do, live support for a title=GaaS, you think it's a coincidence that Zelda and Witcher 3 got free dlc updates near the release of their expansions?

Yea again, . This can mean different things because different games require different kinds of support, a game like Overwatch needs new characters and maps, a game like AC:O or BOTW need costume/weapon dlc and new quests.

Thread: Which Games Have The Best Climbing?
As a stealth game, if they required complex inputs for the climbing, there would be a lot of issues, the satisfaction comes from how you use it as climbing is a tool. The ease of climbing feeds back into the stealth scenarios as you're incredibly mobile compared to your enemies. Like imagine how uncomfortable stealth feels in a game like Mirror's Edge and what that would feel like in an open word game where you tackle any scenario from any direction.

Very few games integrate climbing into the core move set of the player as well as AC imho. And that's why it works the best again imho, because it's not a separate mechanic and to a larger degree feeds into every other aspect of the game.

Capcom has purposefully avoided reference DMC2 for as long as possible. The personality of Dante as well as the ending of that game made ever continuing it quite difficult. Dante finally resembles the way he looked in that game so maybe they'll reference it or go past it if this is truly the end of this storyline. Mainly because in terms of using a game engine to create promotional images, game engines are more than capable, RE engine included

I mean, Joel will probably look different in TLOU2 as a result of the closer push to photorealism. It's not inherently a problem unless you were literally expecting a sequel coming out 10 years later to still retain anime art direction for the models.

When you go from characters not based on actors to characters that are literal scans of real people then you're going to have a major difference in how the characters look even when you have models that are lookalikes. On top of this having the character faces wrinkle up already creates a massive difference with how they look. Like genuinely look at yourself in the mirror, make this expression, and see how your face contorts as a result: That's the kind of detail that's a direct result of the tech used to create games rendered with the RE engine.

That's not what I said. Rendering wise, at least with the CGI, DMC has always been more realistic until DMC4 specifically. They're also specifically using the RE Engine which was made with photorealism in mind. Like it's still stylized, it's just not FF levels of stylized.

You should probably play games instead of relying on base bullet points and similar design philosophies, as even the parkour in Watch Dogs couldn't feel anymore different from AC if it tried. There's a free demo of the game. If anything the best strategies in Watch Dogs are completely antithetical to AC as they involve the player never even stepping foot inside the area they're supposed to infiltrate.

Luke and Anakin are both walking talking examples of the chosen one trope.

He was a navigator on a spice freighter. That's what your uncle told you. He didn't hold with your father's ideals. Thought he should have stayed here and not gotten involved. You fought in the Clone Wars? Yes, I was once a Jedi Knight the same as your father. I wish I'd known him. He was the best star-pilot in the galaxy, and a cunning warrior. I understand you've become quite a good pilot yourself. And he was a good friend. Which reminds me... Rey's bloodline isn't important. And thats the key difference. She's not jesus or the daughter of legendary heroes or villains, she's just another person in the universe.

A lack of clunky exposition is not lazy writing and moving yourself with the force isn't some legendary move or a new force technique. It's basic shit that even kids in this series do. And again, One of the major themes of the film is the old guard passing the baton to a new generation of heroes. When Carrie Fisher said that the film is about family, she wasn't talking about biological family, but the resistance itself, she's the mother of the resistance, hence, It's a metaphor for the parent reflex: By the end of the film, Leia, old generation, reassures Rey, the new generation, that they have everything they need, because they're who they need to be. This is why the ST succeeds, because it remembers the purpose of the force in SW, to work as a metaphor for the narrative's themes, not as a measure of fucking power levels and skill point unlocks.

You don't need to think critically to understand basic cinema metaphors. If anything when it comes to the force the last thing you should be doing is thinking logically about how space magic that makes things float works and should acknowledge the purpose of it in any given scene considering that literally any conflict in this series is one force choke away from being solved. Do you think people were theorizing how the force works when Ben said "USE THE FORCE LUKE." Trying to boil it down to essentially this: Completely misses the point.

Anyone can do that just like anyone can build a structure, and that's where the skill spectrum and different types of play comes from. I can build pretty fast and manage weapon swaps well, what I can't do is this: Shouldn't punish players that CAN do that by introducing delays. The best part about Fortnite is the switch between slow paced ranged fire and hectic close quarters and everything in between those two extremes.

Eh, that's only really a problem when someone has an excess of resources vs you having very limited ammo at the beginning of a match. Taking that away would really make this lose what makes the game unique as building in response to someone getting the drop on you is supposed to be an incredibly viable strategy that separates it from PUBG. Especially at high level play.

This wouldn't look very good in 3D imho unless they completely overhauled the renderer to look like Lois van Baarle's concept art, (wasn't the only concept artist on the game).

All good. Yea but that's the thing is that even the shots that do transparently have much more time and budget devoted to them don't look that well shot to me. It's like cinematography in games is getting so damn good, (especially this year goddamn devs put in that goddamn that the floaty anime camera gets increasingly more jarring as the medium evolves. Wish they would do a better job of making it feel like a physical camera, or even how the characters are framed in the scene, or the shot choices. I definitely disagree with pretty much everything you just said. Especially the part about "Soul." Like, I don't think i've ever seen a JRPG with camera work as well done as Hellblade or Wolfenstein for example.

Whenever I see things like this I just stop and think about all the advancements in rendering tech that have happened over the past decade. The industry got full performance capture. Game devs have future proofed their engines by adding modern rendering in order to achieve CG like visuals and/or at the very least achieve anything they want in terms of art direction. Game worlds the size of countries can be fully built without compromising hard on asset density. So many tech advancements. And devs apparently still can't figure out how to make breasts move like something other than balloons and jello. :|

No one is going around like Nathan Drake, Lara Croft, etc. singlehandedly taking on entire armies of enemy factions.

Like how the goal post has moved from "these games feature ZERO sexualization" to "well these examples are only a little bit, you need help if you think otherwise"

Why do you keep ignoring the context behind "Hot Ryu?" Literally the example of male objectification in the game was not intended and instead the devs straight up renaming a character in response to their fanbase. SFV's objectification is not a celebration of the human body at all. As the sexualization in that game vastly skews towards pandering to the male gaze.

Women in games who're power fantasies but not objectified tend to follow the same logic as male protagonists. Where they're pretty much the best and are the ones who have to deal with everything. As video game power fantasy tropes tend to be incredibly archetypical: Just to name some recent examples: Chloe/Drake, both are thieves, despite ND saying that they're "normal" they're both capable of enduring and surviving incredibly death defying stunts as well as taking on entire armies almost singlehandedly. On top of their impeccable physicality and seeming unlimited stamina: AC Syndicate Both Jacob and Evie have decades worth of parkour, stealth, and combat skills underneath their belt. Both can take own entire groups of people with ease. Both are so confident in their skills that their introduction is literally them both laughing at the insinuation that they'll have any trouble with their first mission: Emily and Corvo:Both are not only incredibly skilled normally with stealth, movement, and combat but on top of that they each have a set of comically overpowered magic powers that basically put them on god status compared to everyone else: Halo Spartans:Men and women who're spartans are on equal footing as they're all genetically engineered for combat and receive the same amount of training: Even taking out equivalent male characters out of the question Aloy, although young, is incredibly efficient at single handedly dealing with not only hordes of bandits but also incredibly hostile and destructive machines, with just a bow and a spear: Faith is literally known as the person who's the very best at her profession, she can parkour around a futuristic city with ease and outrace anyone while also having tons of combat skills: None of these characters are realistic at all in the grand scheme of things. And at the end of their respective tales it boils down to saving the world in the same way that it would if they were male. Compare them to someone like Chloe from LIS whose "power" is......smack talking well enough so that people will listen to her..oh and graffiti:

Movies have spent years answering this question: hell some games get the idea too, romance scene in ME from the perspective of Shepard as a woman, the dude literally turns toward the viewer as he takes off his shirt while the camera zooms in on his abs in case the intention needed to be anymore clear: So yea it's absolutely possible for men to be objectified by the purposeful camera direction, thing is, most games, especially in the mainstream deliberately avoid this on purpose for the sake of not being off putting to male gamers. In the same way that they used to explicitly avoid depicting heterosexual relationships from the perspective of women. That's the difference between the above and characters like Kratos. Basically what that person is saying is that the people who try to argue that men are objectified too are usually not at all being genuine. In the same way that people who bring up "but all lives matter!" in response to the black lives matter movement, aren't at all being genuine. Not exactly a hard point to get considering the context of people going "butmentoo!!" ITT and in general whenever such a discussion pops up. "Butmentoo" and "Butwhataboutviolence" are two of the most frequent whataboutisms when it comes to discussions around the representation of women in games.

High heels is the oddest choice design wise.

No idea why they decided to add high heels when she's constantly on the run. Dragon Age's entire existence kinda flies directly in the face of this logic. As it's near 50:50 split player base is most assuredly a direct result of them catering to so many types of people.

Not convinced that stylization is an excuse either. Just because the world is "crazy" doesn't mean that women also need to be or are justifiably sexualized. Hell if anything that's lazy from a design standpoint and makes the world less "crazy" because of how commonplace that is in media. There's also the fact that even when games are "grounded" they're still heavily stylized depictions of reality. Battlefield on the surface like a simulation of war but that facade so quickly drops, this is literally the most famous gif from BF1: Meanwhile, TLOU, has entire sections where you have unlimited ammo while hanging upside down and shooting zombies or have unlimited sniper ammo that you got from a genuinely random dude in the middle of a suburb. Let's not forget that we're a single dude taking out large amounts of enemies as well as carrying molotovs, several pistols, several large weapons, health packs, etc, in a single backpack. And not even one of those big ones. Oh and there are zombies, which in and of itself is a hilariously crazy concept. But the setting itself tries to appear grounded on the surface because the focus is believability.

That video not completely misses the point but also : not only that, but it's unsurprisingly it's from a garbage individual: Description:This video gives a glimpse into Neil Cuckmann's feminist agenda that is perverting Naughty Dog's creative vision and will have grave implications for The Last of Us 2. See how Neil kneels at the altar of Anita and then gets friendzoned anyway. So I have to ask what the hell kinda channels are you following? Rifles being the most popular weapon in a previous BF game disproves that notion entirely. Again, they weren't forced to do that at all. If you were talking about medics you'd have a point about things having to be skewed. But the fact that gameplay concessions have to be made does not contradict the fact that even when games are trying to be grounded that they still end p being stylized even when the intent is to be more grounded. Just for instance the least shocking or reaction worthy thing in TLOU2 trailer which I'm almost 100% sure is objectively the most grounded depiction of violence in the literal history of this medium, is the part where a guy gets shot through the mouth and neck with arrows in incredibly quick succession for someone who's in the rain, wearing a rain jacket, and has to manually aim each shot. The most popular genre is action adventure. So action movie tropes and logic are the most prevalent.

Five out of those ten games feature sexualized women. The problem with this argument is that yes music videos DO get criticism for sexualization, just like video games, whataboutism about other mediums ignores the issue and context of this medium specifically. In the context of the game medium yes it is. There's no mainstream game equivalent to 50 shades of grey or twilight. Meanwhile some of Japan's biggest games feature characters like Quiet and Cindy in the mainstream. And at the same time, a lot of women are completely turned off by the pointless sexualization in the medium. It's almost like they aren't a monolith or something. And you think it's a coincidence that at the time where more and more women are playing games is also the time where games like Horizon Zero Dawn is incredibly successful and a game like TLOU2, aka one of the most anticipated games of this gen, has almost solely been advertised with women at the forefront?

I very much doubt it would've been as successful if Aloy was designed like Bayonetta or that girl from X-blade. The game has a huge following of women and Aloy being the posterchild of the game is definitely part of the reason for that. I have no idea how you could argue otherwise as if these things are mere coincidences. Hell Dragon Age is an example of this, everyone in DA is the pinnacle of whatever archetype they fulfill as romance is a huge part of it. But media also has an effect on the audience. If media is constantly catering to one gender it's gonna have an effect not just in how the audience itself views that gender but also when it comes to the workplace. There's not really any data for the amount of women who prefer sexualized character designs in gaming that don't boil down to anecdotes but there sure are a metric fuckton of articles talking about how games like Horizon and TLOU are positive representation that the medium needs more of.

As I said media has an effect on the audience. It's not at all a coincidence that Anita Sarkeesian got harassed and straight up threatened by thousands of people,(an overwhelming majority of whom were men), over basic feminism 101 critiques of the representation of women in this medium. It's not at all a coincidence that devs like Neil Druckmann receives tweets like this or that his push for diversity in the medium, (and yes, including women who aren't sexualized is part of that), has received an overwhelming amount of positive reception: These things don't happen in a vaccuum. I guess I just imagined the major shift in the representation of women in the medium as a whole in the mainstream market thanks in part to the success of indie games and the changing demographics where more and more women are playing games and thus, from a marketing standpoint it's ok to have characters like Ellie or Emily leading the sequel to an IP made from a time where brunette white males were borderline mandated by pubs.

The reason why non sexualized designs tend to be better designed are due to the fact that a lot more tends to go into them. It's amazing how much creative freedom you have when a cleavage window or a shapely butt isn't a priority for every woman in the game. Within the context of many games, a swap of skin makes more sense thematically than one where the gameplay is suddenly different due to gender. Evie and Jacob are both assassins, Drake and Chloe are both thieves, women and men in COD are always trained soldiers, etc. etc. etc., the equal footing and context is what makes the design decision justified.

"Don't like it don't buy it" is such a lazy response to critique. Ask for more out of the medium. Objectification is "okay' in the sense that excessive violence is technically "ok." Theoretically a person could just not play violent games, and if enough people don't there's no reason not to make games that don't appeal to those who don't right? You see how that sort of logic is self defeating and incredibly limiting for not only the treatment and perception of the audience but the medium itself? Games can be so much more than a boys club where objectification is "ok." Just like how the music industry is so much more than sexualized music videos.

This reminds me of that time where Capcom changed battle damaged Ryu's name to "Hot Ryu" because of the internet's reaction. As making the character look badass in this way: was quite clearly the intention, not "People are gonna get off to this." A shirtless male is not inherently sexualized, especially when not even 2 minutes later he looks like this: Be genuine.

I mean, the violence in Resident Evil 2 is WAY more stylized than the violence in TLOU. That one woman's death animation when Ellie shot her from under the truck was more realistic than literally everything seen in the RE demo. Like all aesthetic changes, take it as a "the characters have always looked like this" kinda situation.

In terms of whether or not this is a straight power fantasy, i never at any point felt like Leon stood a chance against all those zombies, they tanked hits and were more numerous than they were in RE2, and it only took three bites for him to reach a critical state. That to me is the core of classic RE. Is the feeling that you barely stand a chance even when the game gives you 30 bullets.
