People got real weird with it. Modern game discourse is exhausting because of shit like that. "See how her left nostril is slightly smaller than her right. Proof game is woke DEI SJW trash. Worst game I've never played".
Is Silent Hill 2 Remake fantastic BECAUSE of fan backlash, or in spite of it?

Oh For sure. I know being being a Horizon fan around the release of Horizon: Forbidden West was exhausting. I swear many of the complaints came from dudes who never been around a woman in real life, haha. Like, women have hair, not everyone is as skinny as a toothpick, and i doubt women, especially one like Aloy, living in a post apocalyptic future, are gonna give a shit about looking like Supermodels, especially when they got to fight killer robot dinosaurs constantly, and have to try anything to survive. So many gamers are frigging weird man.Chris Sunderland wrote: ↑07 Jan 2025People got real weird with it. Modern game discourse is exhausting because of shit like that.

The most upsetting part of this type of attitude is that it will automatically ruin what would have been great games. After the trailer release of Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, people went insane. Mainly because the protagonist looked the way she looked. I understand that some developers have leaned too far one way or the other, but the objectiveness in regard to judgment is gone. It's replaced with a tribal type of outlook and it will ruin what would otherwise be great games....DinoNerd89 wrote: ↑29 Jan 2025Oh For sure.

^Yeah, people tend to forget its a video game, not a porno movie or whatever, the characters don't have to look perfect and "pretty", they just have to be interesting. Like, i would play as a literal swamp monster if i get a good story or great gameplay out of it LOL.
Not saying that say some Constructive criticism isn't necessary here and there for some things, but i think some tend to get... a bit overboard with it, you know?

It makes it where you don't even want to bother with legit constructive criticisms. Like I wish Forbidden West was a bit less Ubisoft in its open world approach, but why bring that up when most of the complaints are centered on chuds whining because they don't want to boing Aloy as much as they used to. Not just that, but it's some affront to culture or God or whatever that they feel that way. It's annoying.
I remember watching the Heretic Prophet trailer and being stunned at how good it looked and my absolute shock when I started reading comments. Do these people enjoy anything? It must be exhausting to be that way lol.

^Yeah, it was and still is an absolutely beautiful looking game, hell, i played it on the PS4 and even then it had the best graphics i ever seen in a video game. Plus, i enjoyed the lore and settings, and fighting robot dinosaurs is frigging awesome! but hey, the main character is a normal looking woman, not a 15 outta 10 beauty queen with huge melons, so who cares, amirite!!11!!1!

but yeah, i had some minor nitpicks and it has some things i wish it did differently as well, but at least 1 thing it certainly did right is, is that it confirmed why i don't take criticism from a large chunk of gamers too seriously, haha. Sure, theres some good ones here and there, but way too many that talk outta their ass.
