Because gamers are whiny bitches that are not gonna be happy with anything you throw at them even if a game has not even been released yet lol. Also it’s probably just misogyny cause the female protagonist
People are mad we are not getting sequel with Jin during second mongol invasion, which is valid. They are also mad that we play as a woman in historic japan, which is less valid. They are also mad because the VA for main character said some woke stuff aparantly and latest reason is that some writers that worked on Dragon Age Veilguard, which was absolute dogshit in terms of writing, are now working on this game.
Maybe I forgot something, but this is the main stuff.
in my view, everyone who uses the expression “woke culture” to complain about something, looks like this
[removed]
It’s mostly concern really which is based on the fact that the writers from Dragon Age The Veilguard are the ones writing the story
The VA for the MC has been known to be very woke and people are afraid present day politics will enter/influence the game. Which is a valid concern imo. If it doesnt affect the game its fine, if it does we will be looking at another DA veilguard, which is a shame.
For clarification, no present day politics, either right or left should affect the game imo
Only thing worth mentioning I’ve noticed is that it shares some writers with DA Veilguard, and that does make me worry honestly.
Sometimes, just sometimes…I feel gamers are over entitled and expect too much. Also, some of them display that human trait of jumping on the bandwagon not fully believing the crap they type. It just takes one edge lord to type shit and they all jump aboard. The same can be said for a lot of subs.
There, I’ve said it.
It’s got a female protagonist that noisy beta male creeps are afraid they can’t jack it to.
1) women in my videogames (same as ac shadows)
2) “woke” voice actress
People do know that the majority of the planet is women, right? Additionally, what makes a compelling protagonist? One that might seem atypical – hence a woman.
Female protagonist and no Jin seem to be the main complaints I’ve seen, but I don’t understand why some people won’t just trust Sucker Punch to deliver like they did with Ghost of Tsushima
I think people were mad because they felt like Jin had more stories to tell.
Because it is easier to destroy than to build
Not sure about hate, but It would be sweet if jin sakai got his story continued rather than a new protagonist, man or woman makes no difference. Would be mean if he turns up and teaches the new ghost techniques, the birth of the ninja clans in Japan,
The fact that there are DA Veilguard writers included, combined with the actor of the protagonist being a woke activist. This could end very bad or have no impact on the game at all. We can’t say atm. But it is concerning non the less. I would recommend not to pre order any game these days, but be especially careful with this one.
Don’t let the high reputation of Ghost of Tsushima blind you. It has been 5 years and Sony made a lot of bad descisions since then.
The amount of pro woke in these comments is already insane lol, shows how much time they spend actually researching a topic
So here’s 3 100% unbiased, valid reasons you should be concerned/worried (notice woke shills I’m not saying hate or misogyny here or how much of a tiny pee pee I have)
Here we go
1. VC for MC. As with the other reasons on this list, none of these by themselves are reasons to outright boycott the game but it should still raise an eyebrow. The voice for the main character has been described as a “radical progressive activist” known for her outspoken comments on gender politics and verbally attacking law enforcement. Whether or not you agree with her stance politically is irrelevant, what should worry you is the “radical” part in their title. Radicals on either side do nothing positive for their respective sides. Now how much influence does just a vc have in the overall tone of a game? Usually not much but in some cases, they have affected the game significantly. Once again not a reason to boycott but certainly one to be concerned about.
2. John Dumbrow and Courtney Woods. After being fired for being instrumental in the writing of “Dragon Age: The Veilguard” which critics and players majority agreed that the WRITING was the weakest part of Veilguard, are currently writers for Yotei. Putting all political stances aside. It should be concerning to ALL if a writer, who comes from recently being instrumental in the failure of a game. Is welcomed and accepted onto the project you’re anticipating. ALL POLITICAL STANCES aside it’s not unreasonable to think that people who just got fired for their writing, may negatively impact the game you’re anticipating. This is simple logic, “if you failed before, why would you succeed now”. Once again it’s just a couple of the writers but it’s not like the best writers in the industry have joined Ghost of Yotei. Unfortunately, and quite literally, it’s the proven opposite.
3. The Sucker Punch that made Ghost of Tsushima, is not the Sucker Punch that is making Ghost of Yotei.
Now I’m not going to use the pictures of like the basically all male staff that worked on Tsushima vs the supposed all female staff that works their currently. Apparently there’s conjecture there so I don’t think it’s viable. Instead I just want to talk about how many developers that did work on Tsushima are no longer there, and there’s been a lot of people who have been added to the team, in 2022, 2023, and 2024 (which is kinda late in a development cycle to change, almost as if they were necessary to change it from the game it was going to be)
Now you tell me, does it sound wise to in late game development to add a Producer in 2022, a Senior Writer and Narrative Designer in 2023, a Senior Staff Writer in 2022 and a Senior Producer in 2023.
These are some pretty important positions and essentially change that at the mid to late part of a development cycle has never been proven to be a wise choice. Why? Because you generally have whatever the people have been working on for the last 2 years being completely warped/changed. This is proven just by looking at statistics regarding the subject off changing Key members late into any production cycle.
Once again woke shills I’m not saying any of these reasons are a clear indicator that the game will fail.
All I’m saying is, instead of receiving the news that the best developers in all of the world are working on Ghost of Yotei, or that majority of the developers that worked on Tsushima are returning to work on Yotei. (These being the 2 best options you could hope for for a sequel)
Instead we got news that simply doesn’t bode well…
No it’s not because of anti-woke grift, or whiny gamers complaining they don’t have a peepee. It’s not misogyny or blatant and overt “sexism” (like dude these woke shills are so aggressive lol calm down, yelling and insulting people won’t help your USAID money come back)
It’s reasonable concern garnered from evidence that shows a cause for concern. This is proven with a simple statistical analysis that anyone can go perform
Because the main character is a woman and there is a loud minority of complete misogynistic assholes whining about anything that they qualify as “DEI” (that is to say when the characters aren’t overly virile white men).
I’m still going to play it but for me, it’s because Jin is gone. I was really looking forward to playing as Jin again with new abilities, looks, and weapons. People saying that it’d just be the same game again with Jin are being ridiculous. Middle Earth : Shadow of War used the same guy from Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War is absolutely amazing. They have similarities but they are two completely different games. You easily see the evolution in graphics, storyline, combat, abilities, etc. I seriously doubt this studio would’ve fucked it up, simply put.
Due to the same people online always embracing racism and/or misogyny. Yotei will be entertaining, but since the main character is a woman, they’ll be criticizing every single detail and flaw to claim that “woke developers ruined the game”.
Female protagonist. That’s all it takes to trigger these bitches.
Well people think they changed the main character to woman for solely the sake of being woke which usually ends up being a shitshow story wise.
There have been a few things in the past but the most recent thing is people found out that Dragon Age the Veilguards writers worked on it and are concerned because of what happened with that game and the writer getting fired and making a video that not everyone agrees with. Honestly off the strength of the first game I was going to get this anyway but the dragon age thing has me worried because the writing in that game is abysmal imo.
The anti-woke crowd who farm engagement on YouTube and Twitter are the one’s complaining. These people hate every game, I don’t think they even play any of them.
It’s not currently in the news cycle, so why are you asking that now? But to answer your question, some players of the first game wanted to continue with Jin instead of switching to a new protagonist.
I can’t stand Erika Ishi so I’m going to wait for full play reviews from you tubers I trust before buying it but I hope we get a decent game.
Assassins Creed fans: ” First time? “
Because gamers want a sexy female character like Eve from Stellar Blade. Also hate the game because of the voice actor of this character by making misinformation about she a bad person when reality the gamers are harassing this good woman. I hate today gamers more than the previous generations.
Female protagonist and the voice actor for her is a publicly non-binary and leftist voice/actor
People dont understand you can play the game with japanese voice actors.
Already playing Ghost of Tsushima in prep for this game
Mainly stuff like how Jin isn’t the protag or that the new protag is a woman. Pretty dumb reasons to be tweaking so much. But there also has been news of writers who worked on mass effect andromeda and dragon age the veilguard (two notoriously shite games) and I can understand that. Also the voice actor of Atsu is pretty political online, but I don’t think that’ll be a problem because she’s only a VA and can’t influence the script
Welcome to the internet. Someone will always have an issue with something.
Look beyond it and enjoy your life for you.
It’s the virgins that’s can’t play as a female character
