Naughty Dog doing Concord 2. 

It's a shame because the graphics and concept are good, but they really went out of their way to make the player character ugly. First thing you see is her shaving her bald head. I'm just surprised she doesn't have a peg leg too.

It really is a funny trend. The actress looks pretty cute but I can't help but wonder that they felt they felt the need to have her be not conventionally attractive

Because Alien 3.

WTF is Neil Druckmann smocking, another fucking Guardians of the Galaxy rip off. 

Neoxon just commented in that video.

Yea, I just feel bad for the actress. At least she got paid

[Boredfrom]

Is funny they have an anime parody with a conventionally attractive woman, like they understand she can have hair and be attractive without going full Stellar Blade, but decided against it because they need to be fake ass punk with a bald badass chick that listens CDs with her Sony sound system. 

Druckmann: THIS IS LIKE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY!

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

seems pretty generic.

So they announced The Woketcher 4 huh?

[Boredfrom]

You know why Star Lord worked in Guardians? Because he was a manchild mercenary loser that was kidnapped by space pirates as a kid, his pop music mix tape connected him with her mother and the father he never met until that point. He becomes sympathetic because he team ups with other sympathetic weirdos and losers.

Ciri was always speculated to be the new protagonist.

I guess we'll see how the game turns out but it definitely has more Ready Player ones "member this?" vibes than having something heartfelt beneath the nostalgia

I would be less cynical if there wasn’t product placement. I can see Druckmann saying to himself: Some exec at Sony keeps pushing for this… but I can make it work  . I’m fucking Neil Druckmann.”  

Like everyone wants to be James Gunn without understanding why his stuff works.

Ciri is the adopted daughter of Geralt, OG Witcher protagonist.

Witcher 3 whole plot was about Geralt letting her grow as her own person. Yes, the Witcher 3 is a sad dad game.

Yeah, I don't care. I played Witcher 3 for a bit. Euro jank really ain't my thing.

[Greatness Gone]

I’m kind of crashing out over Intergalactic. Was pretty hyped for sci fi Naughty Dog and it ends up being…yet another GotG inspired video game with a spunky sarcastic protag. What the fuck is the obsession with this shit ass franchise in gaming?

Maybe it’s a fake out and it ends up being interesting. I enjoyed TLOU2 despite the controversy so I’ll give them some grace.

The worst thing is that there is already 2 Guardians of The Galaxy games, one that was very good and made before the third film released. 

And James Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy idea is already an old concept he just made more mainstream (retro space cowboys/weirdos that go to adventures with the occasional drama? Firefly and Cowboy Bebop)

There is way worse Eurojank.   In some critical acclaimed or cult favorites games… being worse Eurojank.

You don't find this lady sympathetic?

It's a very purposeful choice Western devs make now. A lot of the Sony teams seem to think making their female MC 'ugly' = real person, not an 'unrealistic' fantasy woman for icky men to salivate over. Even though it's based on a real person, Tati Gabrielle. What happened to having a mix, like actual real life?

You would have thought they would have learnt from Concord and their purposefully hideous character designs.

It's funny, male characters in Western games are never given the same treatment. Only females. Who on those teams hates attractive women so much that they make them so vaguely masculine?

Even her shaving her head is supposed to signal to Resetera types who can get excited, oh don't worry our main character won't be trying to be attractive at any time.

Between this and the GoT sequel, those devs have purposefully uglified both characters. As everyone knows women in Western games want to look ugly. Just like real life where they all leave the house with no makeup or nice clothes on.

Clever casting by ND though they get a two for one as the actress is half black and half Asian.
