Sam Witwer is a mega SJW faggot who’s besties with Wil “Basedboy” Wheaton. You’d think this ign loser would be slobbing on his knob.

In what way is Sam Witwer an SJW? He's based as fuck and a good actor. Dumb faggot.

Or - and this might be hard for you to comprehend- perhaps it's the norm because in general, most of the stuff that gets done when shit needs doing, gets done by gruff white men.
So they make sense as protagonists.
I mean, really expect an ultrahomo Brazilian pseudotranny from the favela to go round post apocalyptic middle America sorting shit out?

Give them those hate clicks incels

I can name the last 10 games I played and all of them either have character customization or don't have a white male as the main character.

Rather have a based white male protagonist than a fucking nigger

Guy has a point but delivers it wrong, he goes through thousands of titles to review and he notices the default pick is yes a white male, and he's obviously pushing things other than the default.

Nothing wrong with that

I kind of agree honestly.
Not in the same WOKE way as him, but I'm kind of tired of the same gruff and tough 5 o'clock shadow protagonist.

Except this is an open world game. Not muh linear movie game obsessed retard.

This game looks awful.

Found the aim assist option

>God Of War and Spiderman
Both shitty movie games where everything is scripted or a cutscene. You don't have to use a console at all, just watch them on youtube, you'll get the same experience.

There are other ways to make an interesting white male protagonist without going the safest route and having him be bland and boring. I never said he shouldn't be white. You probably think people are attacking white men when they call white male protagonists boring, because you people are really that fragile.

Please do

Racism is ok when it's done against white people apparently.

What was the last game you played with the gruff and tough 5 o'clock shadow protagonist?

Name the last ten games you played. I bet less than half of the MC's fit that description.

No I dont. I dont care so much for skin colour that I accept or reject a person based on that alone.

>It's a lame cop out that tries to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
Just like the rest of this game. What's your point?

this is true though with a caveat, the 360 dudebro era of gaming was shittier because everything became a grey and brown shooter with a white male protagonist when before we had actual variety

however, politics should never be the motivator and have only resulted in an inversion of the previous paradigm where now we suddenly see black women everywhere in gaming which is even worse because it wasn't just informed by market research, it's pure ideology

variety should exist for variety's sake but anyone arguing about too many white males in gaming in this generation has to be a blind zealot because there's literally more black women with afros in gaming than there ever have been in the past

How do you know this character is bland and boring.

Shut up SJW

t. Assmad Xboner who never played them

Because he's white. Duh!

only a basednygoy could be delusional enough to believe xbots visit Yea Forums lmao

Then why mention the fact that they're white men, if the whiteness and the menness isn't the issue?
You're just a racist piece of shit, or some self hating dickhead, who thinks that by shitting on white men, maybe Theodora the woke tranny from your soc101 class will maybe give you a lazy hand shandy.

Why do white people care so fucking much about diversity to the point where they seem to care more about it than color people?
Seeing that most directors of games are white, it would make sense that the main character is white too. Hell, in the game I am slowly working on, my MC is Hispanic, not because I want to push some agenda, but because I am and it much easier for me to relate to. If minorities are really bothered by it, let them make their own games instead of expecting the "white man" to do it for them.

His design isn't shit because of his skin color, his design is shit because it's the same archetype we saw a million times in the late 2000s where every big western game played it as safe as possible by making the protag the same generic template.

On the flip side the idea that you should never get offended is bad news. If you never get offended and draw a line you end up becoming the bitch rag that everyone treats bad and you have no self respect so nobody respects you in return. So there's a fine line.

can't be racist against white people though cuz my marxist university professor redefined racism as prejudice+power

It's not "gruff white males", truth is that most western character design fucking sucks. You have some great stuff in CRPGs and the platformer/adventure game craze, but outside of that it's mostly boring shit that really wants to emulate film but lacks the writing talent to make characters interesting, and produces very bland self-inserts. The one good thing about this is that they're open to using adult characters unlike Japan which is diametrically opposed to that, but they tend to be painfully boring.

Haha spic!

But yeah, you brownbros are right. Nobody is really offended. Even the sjws.

>but most shooters
What else would they be other than gruff men? Effeminate trans girls with guns? Soft people don't generally become soldiers.
>most gta games
Only Trevor and Niko Bellic really fit the description of gruff white male. But it's not like that's their sole defining attribute. They're well fleshed out characters. Maybe you could argue Michael as well but he's more of modern man with anger issues kind of guy.

>Point is, I don't play games like that anymore due to how unappealing the character type is

AAA games in general suffer from a massive lack of any sort of creativity not just in the characters. It's all the same safe, cookie cutter bullshit again and again. But generally when they pick a character type for whatever role in the game it generally makes sense.

Yahtzee made the same criticism years back (gruff, generically handsome short brown hair guy) and no one had a problem with it. Maybe it's the way he worded it.

Even if you removed all the descriptions, the western characters would still look way more visually distinctive than the Japanese ones. So how does that help your argument?

If anything, the descriptions are biased in favor of the Japanese games, since they leave out the abilities/move sets of the western protagonists, which are far more imaginative than their Japanese counterparts (such as Cate Archer's various gadgets disguised as make-up and female cosmetics items, which is much more interesting than Snake's boring military gear).

>drive other companies to produce games they believe are high quality to compete with others

what would motivate you to produce high quality games more? putting your game into the biggest competitive market possible, or, being given good boy money from Sony before your game is even made?

You're joking but I've literally seen resetera snaps of people saying there are too many "able-bodied" protags in video games.

>Even if you removed all the descriptions, the western characters would still look way more visually distinctive than the Japanese ones. So how does that help your argument?

It's a cherry picked list user. You can make anything look good vs anything else if you cherry pick. Also why the fuck is Link in there? Visually his character design is god tier. Just him being in there at all completely invalidates the entire list.

And you'd rather he played a generic AAA zombie shooter on a console? You're cancer too.

I do, to be honest, but it's still better than angry black protagonist who's angry because he grew up in da hood #598358.

Isn't your point ironic given Japanese developers made MGS?

You've said the other side needs to do that. You're saying the only option they have is to kill you.

Why not make him, dunno, native, or full blown redneck with mullet and all, maybe make him a teenager, 16 or so yo, but then the teenagers that olay these games wont like it.

so having a black or asian male would automatically make it more interesting? thats a little idiotic.

>review
that's what Yea Forums's for, isn't it

The left side of that is exactly what I mentioned as a set of the few good examples, but the right ones are very good too. Besides just having overall nice designs which current the Western AAAs sorely lack, the human characters on the right also have excellent backstories (except for RE perhaps, I'm not familiar with it), and with James especially the game uses his outward appearance of being plain to great effect in the plot. That's not something you get in most games. Usually, the generic protagonist is just a vehicle for you to either self-insert through or just accept wordlessly as another thing to make parsing the story easier (like that one character in every sci-fi story who's from a different land or time so everything has to be explained to them, who is really you). I think people would be cool with the Nathan Drake clones if they actually did anything, but really, they don't.

I'm not the government. Are you okay? Maybe you should take a nap before reading any more words.

That game looks insanely meh

I'm not exactly joking I'm just baffled that people think a game can only be good if it appeals to certain immutable characteristics, as if you can never play or enjoy a game which features a character that isn't literally you.
Have some fucking empathy.

It doesn't matter what color the protagonist is as long as he fits the setting and the story.

Cherry picking of what? All the comparisons are done between games within the same genre and even with a similar premise.

>Planescape: Torment and Final Fantasy 7 are both story-driven RPGs where the protagonist suffers from an identity disorder of some kind

I feel like I've seen that inventory/upgrade system 100x already. I feel like I've played that game already so many times and it's not even out yet.

Source on that claim?

My personal experience from MMOs shows me that the majority of men chose to play as female characters and an awful lot of humans chose to play as elves.
If you have some data that says otherwise I'd be very interested in what you have to say.

Remember when people told sjw's to make their own games/comics/movies and them they did. I sure do.

There's a difference between complaining about a character being bland and poorly written or implemented and complaining about the character literally being a white male.
You're implying that if the same character was black he'd be more interesting somehow?

Yeah, Bayonetta 1 got robbed.

Wew, hes always been a faggot.

Lmao that PS4 fanboys were bragging about this game a few months ago and now here we are looking at another shitty “exclusive” Sony uses to bolster numbers but there’s still no quality

It's not that the board has changed, it's that ever since the 2014-2016 U.S. election cycle there's been a MASSIVE uptick in identity politics specifically targeting whites. The way he delivers the line in the video is absolutely unnecessary, and if the 'journalist' had half a brain and any social awareness whatsoever, he should have seen the response coming a fucking mile away.

No, I remember them subverting already existing games and preventing foreign games from releasing in America, sometimes outright and sometimes releasing with heavy censorship.

They're definitely superior at committing violent crime, failing academia and abandoning off-spring, that's for sure.

his voice is so fucking grainy and irritating, and his diction is terrible. why is this guy doing video narration. i can hear the soi, glasses and weak beard in his voice

but thats clearly not true. console exclusives are hard capped to the hardware they are being made for, so its actually impossible for that to happen.

No one ever 'bragged' about Days Gone. It's always looked like generic garbage.

You don't have to be woke to get sick of having to play as David Duchovny clone #32,582. And I say that as a tall white guy with brown hair who usually grows out stubble. It's been a good few decades for me in terms of immersion but Jesus Christ, let's shake things up a bit. They could at least make him a ginger or something.

He's right. Rude gruff guy with checkered past who redeems himself by saving others (and probably some little kid who tags along) is an old as fuck trope that's been done to death in better media than this. /pol/ is only upset cause he said the "W" word with a hard H, which obviously means the author supports White Genocide and is going to sell your unborn children to the Black Space Jews.

This is ironic coming from him considering he has literally admitted he designs his game to be as accessible and not-frustrating to as many people as possible.

yahtzee's entire shtick is dry, facetious humor. this IGN literally who guy on the other hand is attempting to deliver serious "games journalism" commentary and virtue signaling his own white male ass off by pejorativaly using the phrase "gruff white male" to jab at whites, males, and the very concept of masculinity all at the same time. there's also the sociopolitical climate to consider. most of yahtzee's comments were simply pointing out tropes and from a time before idpol became such a huge vocal minority agenda on the internet.

Well yeah they share the same leanings as the people running those industries.

Stop smelling yourself

>why is this guy doing video narration.
The same reason anyone works in video game "journalism".
They want a real writing job but don't have any talent so they ended up writing for video games.

There's a difference between saying: "The MC seems generic, just like similar action games". and "Amphft, not ANOTHER WHITE MALE protagonist in a VIDEO GAME, uuugh."

They are not arguing against banality and generic MCs, they are arguing that devs and gamers are racist.

Do you even understand how software and hardware works? The pic i posted proves that consoles can punch above their weight.
GPU hardware has theoretical power potential most often called tflops. And it is up to developers to get the most out of those tflops. First party developers are the BEST at this, especially Sony's first party devs.

If the character is well written, no. Because I don't care about the skin, sex, or orientation of the character, as long as it is well written.
If the character is poorly written , then also no, because adding a black skin to a poorly written character adds precisely nothing.

I'll take 200 well written white male protagonists over poorly written diversity characters.
Just as I'll take 200 well written diversity characters over poorly written white cis males.
Why the fuck would you care about any of this shit. If you are entertained, you are entertained, that's all that matters.

It's so unprofessional to just blatantly and abruptly bring up fucking RACISM on a video games review and news platform populated mostly by kids, unbelievable.

IGN is retarded, but they've always seem to at least try to be serious about their business, wonder if anything will come of this?

>You're implying that if the same character was black he'd be more interesting somehow?
Yes, because he'd at least stand out from literally every fucking protagonist in a shooter game.

Do you not understand the concept of cherry picking, or? There are literally hundreds of games in these genres and you went out of your way to pick a handful of "unique" characters to support your argument and so-called "bland" ones to attack your opposition. What's your basis or qualification for choosing the games you did, other than they specifically fit the biased point you're trying to make?

>you're not part of this community
as much as I love SJWs being btfo, this is a weak argument in general, because it really dares for someone inside the community to come out and say "hey but I think the same!"
It just begs for one of those op-ed articles where someone is posting their collection of games in a franchise with a sob story about the fun they had with it, and how much they supported it, closing with "but I guess Im not part of this community according to the devs

It's almost as if you can't just make a well written character by their race alone.

Because we know this fucker wants to add more ugly niggas and sistaz and obnoxious "coloured" people into vidya for social moral faggotry points. (And because he hates his race. Like all libtard cuck)
We can perfectly critique the use of "boring design protagonist" without necessarily resort to create more darker skin characters, you know. No? Thought so.

>People who look different from me stand out
Woah hey calm it with the casual racism there buddy.
Race is just skin color, everyone is pink on the inside. Thank you very much.

how can you be tired of the "trope" of masculine white men in video games? It's like being tired of breathing or something.

gamerant.com/average-video-game-heroes/
>Even in the personality department however, Brown-Haired White Guy seems to continually adhere to a fairly strict set of personality traits. He is angry on a scale ranging from “slightly” to “very” (with the anger often tied to the murder/kidnap of his wife/girlfriend). He is sometimes permitted to be funny or wisecracking, on the condition that his humor is (at least) slightly sardonic. He is cool under pressure, underwhelmed in the face of attacking soldiers, nuclear bombs or aliens chewing on his face.

>He didn’t ask for this, but he deals with it in the best way he can. He’s, you know, a dude. An average guy with a fairly generic backstory.

>He loves the ladies. Especially his murdered/kidnapped wife/girlfriend.

>The most likely explanation for this parade of dull, identical protagonists with little-to-no characterization is that the player character is often intended to be a blank slate onto whom the player can transplant their own personality. It’s one of the reasons that silent protagonists have enjoyed such a sustained popularity. Character arcs and colorful personality tend to be the domain of NPC’s, who are generally designed to be every bit as nuanced and unique as the player character is bland and forgettable.
>Some might argue that the way video game developers churn out titles with protagonists so devoid of distinguishing characteristics is a symptom of creative bankruptcy and a severe lack of imagination in the industry. On a more optimistic note, perhaps the fact that developers have managed to produce so many variations on the exact same theme is a testament to just how bottomless their well of creativity really is.

Show me where they've created their own original ideas instead of subverting existing franchises? What do you have? Horizon: Zero Dawn? Anything else?

>There are literally hundreds of games in these genres
Not really, at least not when it comes to making relevant comparisons. For instance, there are almost no western rpgs with pre-defined characters like in Planescape. The fact that when such a wrpg is made, the main character is immediately far more unique and unconventional than any jrpg protagonist I can think, a genre with thousands of games with pre-defined protagonists, is quite telling.

Why do you think Japanese developers dominated mainstream gaming for so long? It's precisely because they designed their games to have mass market appeal in the west, which is quite evident in their character designs.

that's the point entirely. you can only make "relevant comparisons" to your argument when you cherry pick, because most of those hundreds of other games in whatever given genre don't fit your argument.

1) Far Cry 3, literally chad-dudebro who all of sudden becomes a murder machine, the most memorable characters in that game where Vas, the Blitzkrieg guy and the gay rapist and that's about it.
2) Sam Fisher from splinter Cell convinction and onward, from that point he becomes more gruff, more angry, more muh daughter, less stealthy, more ruthless, is the beginning of the dawnfall for the series and the character
3) Cod Blops 2, do I really have to defend a post Cod4 character? I remember his dead father, the plot in general but there is nothing about hit that stands out he is basically a grunt.
4) Don't know him
5) Alan Wake, great game, although I think and is not necessarily bad that the overall world was greater than its protagonist who was used as a medium of sort, is a bit meta but is understandable in context, combat was good but I wish there had been a bigger learning curve, I like him
6) Bioshock Infinite is a piece of shit, and so are all his characters, Ken Levine lost his mind and the guy in charge of the script wrote that other pretentious self indulgent tripe that is Far Cry 5, the guy denies any sort of player agency in regards to the story, and is another gruff looking and sounding guy with a sad backstory related to his family.
7) You can apply the last 2 lines of what I said to him.
8) I like Nathan, even if he ends up being a mass murderer for gameplay reason, he does not take himself too seriously and seems to genuinely be a cohesive agent with the other characters, while other protagonists tends to either be passive or bounce off them, dude raider is the guy that nobody would have believed but worked hard to carve himself a space in the hall of heroes.
9) Ethan made the mistake of being in a David Cage game. He is designed to be bland, and that's what it is.
10) His character look are clearly part of the meta narrative as well, the game is trying to look generic and then his character ark is seen in both cinematics and gameplay. Cont

10) Spec Ops the line has a great character who tricks you into thinking that is for you to be, like most videogames but right at the beginning of the game it calls your name as a guest.
11) Deus Ex 2 sucked so much that even the developers admitted it
12) I don't know this guy
13) Woods is a funny guy, but is basically a walking trope from Vietnam movies.
14) Heavy fucking rain, at least Indigo Prophecy at the beginning gave you two protagonists who could bring 2 different point of views.
15) Resident Evil story has always been cheesy and the interest lied more in the atmosphere and its lore than the characters itself who tried to be B movie stars, heck the game themselves were for years dubbed in english only in spite of being japanese and are notorious for their awful voice acting which has improved only recently.
16) As a fan of Twin Peaks I can't quite comment on his character as itself, is quite peculiar, he is more than the reference he is making, although design wise it could be better.

She's absolutely ugly and hot at the same time.

>gruff white male
I can see what he means but his way of saying it is seriously tone deaf.
He could've omitted the white part completely with nothing being lost, because the character archetype has been present for other cultures too in movies. Especially Hollywood and Asian cinema.

Only zoomers and marvel liptards liked that game, the only sell point is that: IS SPIDERMAN OMG MARVEL OMG MCU OMG SONY EXCLUSIVE OMG

my thoughts exactly.

Yep. Would shove a dick up her mouth to shut her up.

I think I might be in love

>that complete pseudo scientific garbage
lmao

Being a white person that doesn't have a crippling fear of the existence of my own race, no.

>He would have not made such comment about a black character because there is no equivalence to that situation, there is no overabudance of black characters, that is a false equivalence.
OK, fine. Take a Japanese game then, do you think he'd be complaining about the overabundance of Japanese people in Japanese games?
Do you want to move the goalposts again?

Do I need a driver license to say that the car doesn't work?

>we get this shitheap instead of Syphon Filter returning to form
why? Who even asked for this?

In fairness character design is why I haven't bothered with Apex Legends.

shes insufferable

Man are you retarded. First because you like western shit. Secondly because you're biting the hand that feeds you.
Without the concept of consoles, exclusives and Platform Holders, these games would never exist.

where do you think you are? Yea Forums is the perfect review site, bootlicker.

She has a boyfriend. So...

braindead slave. Kill yourself, you human waste.

Not really. We skip the whole review portion and skip straight to final score.

For now.

tumblristas and resetetards aren't normal or rational people.
Vast majority don't really care.

Threw up in my mouth and on myself, also pissed my pants and shitted and cummed.

Nothing to do with him being white, though? Or male for that matter, or gruff.
Hell, the racist over at IGN previewing the game actually praised the MC and the story, so CLEARLY those points don't matter at all, just the way the character is written.

Does this faggot go into mexican restaurants and complain when they don't serve him chinese food?

Not everyone is gonna want a high end PC to run games so more cost effective consoles released mainly to play games is a positive thing for people as a whole

Oneangry gamer already did that and you guys still shit on them its not that simple

>oneincelgamer
is just as fucking bad. insted of being nonpartisan and simply not injecting far-left idpol he just screeches about far-right idpol instead.

desu if I was a game critic, I would just casually slide shit like that in my reviews soley to trigger Yea Forums. So hats off to IGN.

19) terribly forgettable, it had some very nice ideas, but it was too scripted, (in the movie sense) it rarely and barely let you play with the toys it gave you, also fairly sure that guy is not the protagonist with the robot hand, who acts like an impulsive idiot at the end killing Spacey dead eye character in spite of being explicitly told not to because the war would prolong.
20) Well his face in Dead Space 1 was not very important, and thus they gave him that generic look, but then Dead Space 2 and 3 made him a talking character but of course it would have been silly to change his looks too much by then.
20) Ride to Hell: Retribution, nobody is going to defend this guy or game.
21) GTA5, I have not played this one
22) The wiki says "Designer Keiji Inafune wanted Frank West to be an average person instead of the usual Japanese characters which are young and beautiful." Average it looks as average as they wanted it to.
23) Looks out of The Darkness 2 but I can't recognize him. Is not Jackie nor one of the coop protagonists.
24) People can fly's first videogame and while the project lead says that they did not intend to make him into a generic gunman, well in the grand scheme of things he does look generic, although this character came years before many of the ones in this image, I guess is a bit of a victim of the times.
25) While for me Driver San Francisco, is the most memorable of the series, and is nice that due to gameplay they introduced a whole cast of characters giving each story a bit of a silly motive, design wise he is so forgettable it took me a while to remember it, more of blank state design and backstory wise, but his voice fills the air nicely enough once you are in a mission, so the character lies more on the VA performance I guess.
26) I am Alive, unfinished, unpolished, CONT

Look up "special pleading fallacy".
"tu coque".
Is not just a matter of race, is a whole pack of features I already pointed this out.

Pull the fence out of your ass faggot.

Nothing subtle or professional about what this clown just did, though.

>reeeee you have to either be a tranny or an incel it's the law screeeeeeeech
fuck off back to your containment board, leak.

We will do it

Came here to post this. I don't begrudge Sony for making their first party game exclusive. More question, why they would make a game that involves aiming a gun, if it is primarily for Console. Watching the guy try and aim with the DS4 in this video gave me physical pain. GoW and Spiderman are games I at least would use a controller for, even if Sony grossly overestimates their hardware when making exclusives as well.

There is though, it's just your brain is too high on culture war to see it. That is what is funny to me.

>reeeee you have to either be a tranny or an incel it's the law screeeeeeeech
Quote me where I said this mong, I just called you a fence sitting mong because you are, no normal people rides the fence as hard as you. Find a more dignified way to stimulate your anus.

>why would you put more effort into something that's going to get you more guaranteed money than something that might flop on e very platform and get nothing from it
lmao
exclusives are the reason games progress. OR are you going to ignore we've seen virtually no jumps in technology since gen 7 started and everything started going multiplat?

>shitting on both left and right fringe idpol is "riding the fence"
I repeat: fuck off back to your containment board, leak.

Americans are truly subhumans that should be purged at any time. Whole world would be better.

>white people are the only racial group that will kill each other because one of them said something bad about non-whites

This is an amazing yet terrifying thing to see. How white people were calling for the lynching of the smirking magakid because the media literally pushed fake news made me witness how deep self hatred runs on the white community. Hats off the yids for pushing such a impressive feat.

Remember when Yea Forums made fun of all of the western game protags who all looked the same? The fucking election bringing so many people who don't know anything beyond pepe and wojak was a fucking mistake. It's an eternal fucking summer now.

>Americans are truly subhumans that should be purged at any time
you're free to try it any time, third worlder. i encourage you.

Of course I do. But I also remember Yea Forums never missing an opportunity to shit on IGN/Kotaku or other sites like NeoFAG.

You fags have literally killed Yea Forums with your constant "oh no its just trump voters posting here now!" crying all the time.

You got baited fags:

this. "Gruff White Male Protagonist" is objectively an overdone vidya trope. Though I think it stems back to GG, not just the election.

I am not third worlder you can call me a nigger,incel or whatever but you subhumans destroy everything you touch and turn it to shit thats a fact. No matter if you're black,white or any other race if you're an american you are subhumans thats also a fact. American society as a whole and its influence is a reason why whole world has gone to shit in the last decade.

>oneincelgamer
>not idpol
you're either billy himself or a legit retard. i'm not responding to your shitposting anymore. feel free to autistically screech the last word. I know it's important to you so that you feel like you "won"

It's not shitting on them though. You are just rolling around in your own piss and shit crying and screaming you are not mad. It is annoying. You have a fun idea to fuck with IGN...? be my guest make a thread, you want to laugh at some dumb shit? go for it, you want a support group to cry to everytime someone says "white male" find another site.

they haven't made their own games yet. co-opting existing franchises does not constitute creating your own original ideas, you drooling moron.

>that grammar
india is a third world country you dumb pajeet.

It isn't even shitting on them for a funny reason or anything though. It's actually shitting on them for makig a point that a lot of people on Yea Forums made years ago. And yes, the election did ruin this website.

Nei du slutt, dette går for langt.
Tar heller heite russer og polakk kvinner enn sånne negresser

How dare they use a white male protagonist with a white male name in their game in 2019!

This is ridiculous.

26) Interesting ideas that never came to fruition, it was a good game only in my hopes.
27) I think most people will agree that Downpour is not worth considering and does not hold a candle to the others, heck is where the series died.
28) By a stroke of luck looking back into Silent HIll I found his face, Shattered memories is one that I meant to play but have not yet, I can only comment on his look which again do look very generic, if you look at the protagonists, even including the Walking dead guy, is as if from Silent Hill 3 and onward they went into a "generification", their looks became more bland.
29) Max Payne is awesome, but there is no denying that the intention was to mimick the noir tropes, so backstory and look wise it fit into the profile, but of course there is much more to its looks even if in Max Payne 3 he double downs on the gruff and brooding, a step back compared to MP2 ending.
30) Don't know this guy.
31) Murderer soul suspect, never played it, and never got strong reviews, came and went, I looked into as I looked forward to it but it did not inspire me. Character looks like a noir trope, as if all detectives have to look the same by trade.
32) Sniper Elite character is just a grunt who might as well not talk he exists solely for exposition, and in my local dub they even doubled down the grunting, and he looks constantly mad.
33) I abandoned Evil Within, the protagonist had no charm, the plot seemed to be trying to go for 2deep4u and then I found out that it ends on a cliffhanger, it ran poorly, the pc version was a joke, the controls wonky, the shooting unsatisfying, and it stopped being scary after the introductory cinematic mission.
34) Well he is a copy of Snake Plissken, of course he became much more than that, but the starting point was basically a copy of Snake and Rambo.
35) Generic sounding, at least you can customize the look, but me and my brother preferred the female character, the voice and look was better.

You can just, you know, not scour IGN for things to get mad it. You knew that right...? that you can just not read IGN at all infact?

uhm..werent hordes supposed to be dynamic events?

why do you write like that?

If you don't support the opposition, then you are automatically an enemy of them.

it looks insanely gay though

You kikes and useful sjw idiots are getting REAL uppity these days. You mad that hate crimes are getting exposed to be the hoaxes that they usually are and that Captain Mary Sue is getting shit on?

>skip straight to final score
How is that bad? I want to know whether a game is worth a playthrough, not to know the intricities of a game, completely inerting the experience of playing it firsthand.

YEAH BUT THEN THEY WENT BROKE AFTER. LOOK AT APEX LEGENDS!

because he's a homosexual and they think sass lends what youre saying more weight

Sony is the publisher
Naughty Dog is the developer of Uncharted which is a western studio
Which means that guy in the picture must be you

I for one want to know WHY that score was given.

according to Yea Forums literally everygame not made in Japan is SJW propaganda/trash. So yeah.

Yea Forums literally spammed images about generic gruff white man in western games long before this shit was parroted by mainstream vidya journalists.

because the score is just an arbitrary number attached to a review. It is utterly meaningless. if you took metacritc scores of all games, you wouldn't even get a normal distribution.

If anyone wants real impressions.
