It sucks that the current climate of the gaming industry has resulted in hate for genuine diversity, on one hand most representation in games these days is so blatantly forced and gives off a "the bitches gonna love this" vibe whilst actual good representation is chalked up to being woke because everyone's sick of what we've had for like the last 4 years
@@ayitssyaboi1443 I agree. The issue here is the need for DEI to be looked at and celebrated, when it should be the norm. There are many instances where diversity and representation have been done really well, and no one talks about it, because the point is, you're not supposed to when it's been implemented properly by the development team. Why is DEI so important... The fact to me is that, it's just progressive guilt ridden people who have to make this 'activity' the front and center of everything they do and every decision made, has to go through the lens of DEI. We are tired of this. If a game or a film has a majority black people in it and one white guy, it's never a problem. If the opposite happens, the world loses its mind. So now, because we are all tired of being called out on stupid things, the gaming community (for the most part) is organically rejecting this DEI led thought process. We just want to have fun...

The way I look at it is like Teen Titans. Here you got a white martial artist guy, green beast guy, grey half demon girl, black half robot guy, and orange alien girl. And you know what? I'd put good money on the creators wanting to make an interesting motley crew rather than making sure they ticked off enough boxes on their list to appease modern western audiences.

I played Ghost of Tsushima in Japanese anyways, so this lady as the voice actress is irrelevant to me, but it's definitely a red flag. I'm still going to give it a chance due to how much I loved GoT and that game had cool female characters that were portrayed in a non-beat you over the head that they're "strong females" sort of way.
There's a way of portraying female characters without them having to be better than men. They can show their worth without it being a competition... And I think the DEI push is just dumb
I never expected a GoT2 and frankly question if anyone who did actually played the game. Tsushima is done. The next game was always going to be a new location with new characters, and dragging Jin along to somewhere he had no personal ties was never going to live up to GoT. Yotei looks awesome, and I'm loving the influences from the likes of Princess Mononoke and even Kill Bill. Complaints about a female protagonist are proving the point of DEI. Gamers are regressing back into misogynistic incels thanks to the brainrot that is 'anti-woke'.
I agree with your points, but I keep asking myself, who asked for Ghost of Yotei? The concept itself, I don't think any market research was done to understand the reception this game would have. It's easy to label everyone as misogynistic, but I think we need to understand what the fans of the game were expecting the next game to be. Part of me will always give SP the benefit of doubt. But I don't agree with how DEI has been the leading factor in most gaming projects in the last few years. I'm looking forward to Ghost of Yotei, whatever it may be.

One can only hope. I think the game will play very much like the OG - with some new improvements. Thank you for your comment and please subscribe for more like minded content.
they made a different game in a different time to try and capitalize on GoT success , if it fails they still know the line of return to GoT2 instead of ruining it , nice tactic tho
Is there any evidence to suggest this game is doomed to fail besides the lead actor's ideologies? I saw where a former exec said "don't like it don't buy it" but that's a former Sony exec. It's not Nate Fox or Jason Connell. It wasn't even the main actor. But most people i've seen only point to those two things. Main actor is a social activist and the former sony exec's comment. Is there anything else to really look out for? That's not enough evidence to suggest this game won't be worth it.
There has been instances in pop culture where there has been race swaps, and gender swaps of established characters. In a sense, people are arguing that this has happened many times before. So Rey Palpatine instead of Luke Skywalker or in Spiderman 2 - we had a lot more missions with MJ or Miles when we should be playing as Spiderman. In Uncharted, they did a spin off game with two female characters instead of Nathan Drake etc... and now they think the same is happening with Ghost of Yotei.. But I'm not convinced just yet that this is the case. In theory what we have are two separate games, with different names. If its a DEI game, we will soon realise this, but I didn't want to overact like most others did, just because she was a female MC - I think that's wrong. The VA is an activist - but also if the next FF game had a female MC in FF17, would everyone automatically think that game was woke? Or had Ghost of Yotei had come out first with a female MC, and then Ghost of Tsushima had just been announced - would anyone react in this way? (probably not) These are the lines I try not to cross or mix up, because it becomes a double standarded argument. So until more information is released, I keep my faith in Sucker Punch - as they have a great background.
@@crossslashgame these assue there has never been a female MC in any game or assume there were female samurai even technically they were labeled as samurai
@@Vampiricdraco hey, unsure what meant. But there have female MC in a lot of games. As for female samurai, that I can't say, but Sucker Punch never said this was a fact. It's fiction. Don't get me wrong. Sure, did it have to be a female samurai, no. But it's just something different. If Ubi hadn't said Yusuke was a samurai... I do wonder where we would be today.
I mean, it's an anthology series...so yeah: Assassins Creed, Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Uncharted, Life is Strange etc. Most of these game franchises has had a Female lead that came after a Male protagonist lead game at some point in the franchise. Ghost of franchise is an anthology series, so that means a new story/character/setting/time.

Ghost does not exist in a vacuum. Why did they have to hire an absolutely unhinged activist when they could have hired one of many Japanese actresses who could have done the job without poisoning the well?
That's just it, they probably already did. As I understand it, Ishii's the English VA, and if I remember correctly, they have different VAs for English and Japanese. As for why they didn't hire anyone else for the English VA, it's likely they were looking for a certain type of voice. And when you're looking for the right type of voice, that tends to shrink the pool of who's available. Think of it like a soup, you could hate dicing onions but if you want the soup to taste right, then there's nothing for it but to just get chopping. Personally? While Ishii's a red flag, she's a small one. She's only a VA, and while she can't seem to keep her personal and professional life separate, that does not mean that the folk at Sucker Punch are themselves incapable of it. The studio isn't a hivemind, despite what other studios would suggest. I say wait and watch. We have basically nothing on what GoY will actually be like, anyways.

My whole thing - Can you name a single time that a female main character has been replaced with a male character?
There has been instances in pop culture where there has been race swaps, and gender swaps of established characters. In a sense, people are arguing that this has happened many times before. So Rey Palpatine instead of Luke Skywalker or in Spiderman 2 - we had a lot more missions with MJ or Miles when we should be playing as Spiderman.
