I’m sure everyone will have pronouns as well
Like they don’t already?
Elden Ring already has gender fluidity, a strong female POC, people with physical and mental disabilities, and homosexual implications. “Wokeness” should be the least of their concerns about what Sony could do to From.
I’m more concerned with having to get a Sony PSN account to play my steam game.
“Terminally online”
Now look, half of Lemmy is terminally online, those people you talk about are simply racists.
Fair point :)
Probably more than half, let’s be honest here!
where you can change pronouns of your main character
As if choosing your player character’s gender hasn’t been a common thing in video games for decades
Dark Souls 2 has a mechanic to swap your character’s gender whenever you want to. From is already okay with genderfluid protagonists.
You have to fight a bunch of ogres about it though, so business as usual.
so realistic
What if from software makes a character that’s biologically male, but gets raised as a woman because of his moon powers? That would be so woke.
What if From Software made a chracter who can swap sexes at will but struggles with two mutually antagonizing personalities and made them the main boss of their next game? That would be so woke.
I mean, I get it - as a gamer myself, when buying a new title I don’t really care about things like if the game is fun or good or has a healthy community/playerbase, these things don’t matter. How many non-straight characters are there, now that’s much more important - in fact, if you feature too many it might bring the end of the western world or something.
Sometimes characters in my games have pronouns and I still play those games, but I’m always weirded out by it. Why do people need to talk about them and not use only their name?
Oh no, now I am using pronouns! The woke people have corrupted my mind!
sybilvane means sybilvane* uses pronouns. rational people such as sunbather and sybilvane would never use pronouns, lest those wokies defea… wait…
I need REALISM in my sci-fi fantasy game!!!1
and by realism, they mean “Everyone is white and all women meet their standards of what is attractive”, because of course, white men and supermodels are the vast majority of the human population in real life /s
Can’t wait to play a woke game ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° ) but Fuck Sony. Sony should be last option ( ; ω ; ).
My games only include women and non-binary characters
