Abby with her blood stained hands on Joel. Ridiculous artwork

 

[Bernardougf]

Told you.. HeisenbergFX4 kkkk this people never disappoint

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Yuck.

 

[DForce]

I know people want to respond to the backlash, but it's best to keep your mouth shut.

 

[GHG]

This is all going exactly by the book so far.

Everything from them sticking their heads in the sand (turning off comments) to now being hostile towards the very people who are supposed to be their customers.

 

[cormack12]

Why Chloe and no Elena? Because they made Chloe Indian?

 

[StreetsofBeige]

ND, Druckmann and the actress working OT.

Game was shown just a week and a half ago. And each one already pushing this game.

Relax. If gamers making fun isnt an issue then no need to promote the game heading into Xmas. Game wont be released for probably a couple more years. Focus on the tweets and Instagram posts later.

 

[CrustyBritches]

Not sure if serious. You don't find TLOU2 exactly this? How not?

This is a Last of Us game?

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I bet there’s a wig in that box!

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Really interested how they're gonna swing this. This is gonna be good.

 

[Bernardougf]

The provost:

 

[FoxMcChief]

You’re all going to be playing this.

When it hits PS+ most likely. Like Forspoken.

 

[Combat Wombateer]

Wasn't really interested in the first place but it's amazing just how much this image triggers people like her.

Just not buying wokeshit makes them sperg out and have to delete the history.

 

[peek]

Yaaaaas slay queen slay!

 

[Plague Doctor]

I bet there’s a wig in that box!

Step 1...

 

[VinnyMac]

Who fucking cares if it's a chick. If the gameplay is good seriously who wastes their energy to hate on a game with a chick protagonist

 

[strike670]

Gamers are some of the whiniest people on the planet. Whining about a game trailer that showed no gameplay and a cinematic with a woman who has a shaved head.

At least wait till they show more than a promotional trailer for the game to begin stomping your feet like children.

 

[reinking]

She didn’t do that. She decided to add to the fire. That was terrible PR.

I agree it was bad PR but people were attacking her personally. I assume she got tired of it. Humans tend to make mistakes/overreact when they feel personally attacked and I am sure many here would react in a similar way.

 

[Killer8]

The only tears being shed will be ND interns being thrown into the cold when the game inevitably fails to hit sales targets.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Told you.. HeisenbergFX4 kkkk this people never disappoint

These kind of people can't help themselves

 

[FunkMiller]

Whatever the situation, you never go out of your way to antagonise your audience.

They’re all so very, very sure, and so very, very arrogant about people buying their game…

Gamers were attacking her how? I see people mocking and complaining about a video game that contains a virtual character that vaguely looks like her ...more uglier and more manly

 

[Ashamam]

This is not remotely a concord. Dont assume the audience reaction is the same. Plenty of us can see shades of grey. If you can’t and trigger at the site of a woman you need to have a long hard think about how far down the other rabbit hole you have gone.

This has nothing to do with my personal preferences. I’m speaking from a marketing, publicity and business perspective.

 

[Ashamam]

My apologies then.

 

[Clintizzle]

Tati means shit in Hindi

 

[recursive]

All that because of a bald female main character.

yea that is definitely the only reason.

People have the right to criticize and give judgement on what they saw lol. Its like telling people they are wrong to criticize a movie teaser, which would sound incredibly stupid.
This low effort argument is way too much used. Screams like a gaming journalist trying to look smart, specially the gamer remark part

 

[LordOcidax]

She pretending that Ciri is part of the conversation is ridiculous…

 

[proandrad]

I think most people here know that when you become a public figure you keep your opinions private or anonymous. Never put your bag on the line for mean internet comments.

 

[TransTrender]

It's not the own you think it is when you look exactly like my 40 something Taiwanese friend with two kids and a bad back.

People are having a temper tantrum hissy fit about a game character in a cinematic because she has a shaved head. It's really dumb and childish. I am all out of tissues for this outrage gaming culture that has been cultivated by social media grifters.

That's one of the perks of using a person for the model. If people criticize it, then you can say they're attacking a human instead of a game character. Then said model can gaslight the people criticizing her lame wokey-tropey game character and they can say it's not the devs, it's just a model defending herself.

Like if I got myself inserted in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition with my balls hanging out the side of a speedo and then the customers complained, then I gaslight them and call them "incels" and bigots.

 

[LectureMaster]

Hey! Taiwanese women are the best!

 

[Brigandier]

I just didn't like the in game character, her looks and attitude, She's exactly the same in real life lol... cunt.

 

[March Climber]

Why Chloe and no Elena? Because they made Chloe Indian?

It should be obvious but I will point it out. Every character in that image is a playable protagonist.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

It's just embarrassing behavior for someone in her position.

 

[Fabieter]

I already hear the crying when this brave game is selling lile garbage. Neil Wokemann is on the same level than this. I hope they dont expect to sell the game to people they are insulting

 

[Hawkeye2890]

I feel like we've seen this before....

 

[Hawkeye2890]

Who fucking cares if it's a chick. If the gameplay is good seriously who wastes their energy to hate on a game with a chick protagonist

I do. I care. I want an avatar that I can relate to. At least give me a character creator and let me decide.

 

[YOU PC BRO?!]

“You mad bro?” Yeah, you win. I’m mad enough to not buy your weird leftist game

 

[Pimpollo818]

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I really don’t get the Ciri hate.

 

[Fabieter]

People would probably like her personality if the character was a man.

I mean she looks like one

 

[Ironman_Bad]

As she should

Only weid folks care about how women look in videogames

This times a million!!! and i can't stand pro noun culture

 

[BigBeauford]

30 different studios 4 years ago: we are going to do something so stunning and brave that no one else does on the market.

 

[TransTrender]

Hey! Taiwanese women are the best!

Yes, his wife is very nice and pretty.

 

[EDMIX]

Abby with her blood stained hands on Joel. Ridiculous artwork

When something like this triggers people, I think its time to touch grass a take a bit of a step back.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Let's see if Sony head office grows some balls.

Lol get over yourself. It's fiction and not real life.
