No gays either. Or trannies. Both are clinically unhealthy.

Never played gears but how/why did they unironically make the main character literally a scene-hair dyke looking cunt??

You must have never been to Australia then, everyone at my work (including me) smokes.

Why would they do this, to protect children?

Isnt every Gears of War game Rated M, therefore only available to adults?

Isnt doing this basically admitting that underage children are the target audience for their M-rated game?

It is, but I guess we'll have to wait for one of the devs to be sawed in half before they remove the violence.

Smashers, fatties, MTG players, Yugioh players are all worse. Smoking is gross. But it's not "shitting your pants and offensive BO" gross.

You tell'em, sister!

The difference is that not all smashers, yugioh players, etc. smell bad but ALL smokers do.

Alright, you got me there. It's not shitpants bad but it's absolutely worse than BO

My family are big smokers and they all smell like putrid asshole even when they haven't had a smoke all day. You can fucking smell it seeping out of their pores when they sweat.

I swear I rememember there being a lot of cigar smoke. Is this some Beranestein shit?

I 'member when Yea Forums Endlessly mocked that type of game, now that is all newfags want.

Sorry, I know you want to rationalize your shit addiction, but smoking is demonstrably and verifiably far less common in the west than it used to be.

>wasteful
Who cares dude, we just send our trash to the Philippines and Michigan I don't care if it's wasteful

These posts are always retarded because they just look like a nancy faggot who think they're mature for scrubbing "bad" representations of things, acting like the visualization is identical to endorsement.

Nearly everyone dislikes this move because even if most people who play this series doesn't smoke, having a character who does smoke in a violent war context is natural and makes sense, and there are already established characters who do so. It also fits the original over the top machismo aesthetic that the series and scrubbing something "bad" because "uuggh that's like, SO UNHEALTHY" is probably the gayest thing you could advocate for.

It's a multiplat game.

The smell worse when they do smell and it is more pungent

>posts a gif of one of the most iconic smokers in anime

It is less common, yes. It's still very common however.

Smoking is bad but I don't care if it's in my games. Maybe that's not true for NPCs who are influenced by everything on screen. Holy shit though when talking to a customer service rep the smell of smoke was so strong, I guess the smell following you everywhere isn't a meme, it's like if normalfags were smash players.

Ghoulish.

Smoking tobacco is one of the stupidest thing people do like eating candy or milk chocolate every day.

Imagine if they found out caffiene has an 80% chance of giving you ass cancer but then idiots decided to keep drinking it and pretend it's not that bad. YOU'RE A FUCKING ADDICT GET OVER IT!

it's almost like time goes forward or something, strange

Nah it's more like neutering a piece of entertainment full of adult depictions like gore(or people who choose to smoke) and making it about your own tragedy rather than staying true to a series.

The funny thing is, both sugar and caffeine are far more addictive than nicotine.

So smokers have no excuse for their retardation, if I can cut out sugar you can cut out your fucking taint sticks

>who also died

america is so ass backwards, Blood and gore is A-OK but no tits, sex, nudity or smoking thats too much, also no swear words. you can say shit but fuck is a no-no

Saving lives is more important than staying true to a video game series.

I don't remember the episode where Spike dies of lung cancer

No it's because the newshit is even worse. Old dudebro core games were at least games with level design and less nickel and dime schemes compared to these modern visually child proof RNG scheme shooters

This, I cant watch bebop since I quit smoking, scared I might relapse with all the beautiful cigarette scenes

Yeah, people obviously still smoke, especially at clubs and shit, but I can walk through downtown and 9 times out of 10, the only people smoking are going to be the homeless and/or melanin enriched gentlemen, or minimum wage workers on their smoke break. I come across far more vapelords nowadays.

You're a dumb fucking cunt mate America isn't making the game we are

People process their grief in different ways.

That looked so bad I'm surprised he didn't just dab on him.

There are open systems where you fill the device with vape liquid and there are closed systems where you got to use the cartridges. Open systems are for serious vapers who want to mix their vape juices and closed systems are for normies.

Caffeine is just like any other narcotic except it just so happens to increase productivity instead of decrease it.

What? they are the ones creating the game, why do they need outside help to get rid of of smoking in their own game? Couldnt they just say at the beggining of the development "sup team, I as the director, dont like smoking, so dont put anything smoking related in the game"

While we're on the topic of smoking I've always wondered what make tobaccos supposedly inherently worse than smoking say, weed. I get that cigarettes have additives, but this stigma applies to the plant itself.

Is it just because tobacco stimulates the brain and weed makes you a retard which is why the oligarchs push it?

What does a Canadian game have to do with the seppos? Did Donald Trump call Trudeau and tell him don't allow Gears 5 to include smoking in it?
You euros need to stop thinking about your American boyfriends all day it's embarrassing

Lungs were made for air. If you really knew how alveoli worked you'd realize how fucked up any smoke inhalation is.
Something doesn't have to be carcinogenic to be bad for you.

nicotin is nasty on its own.

well user we dont have sufficient evidence to say that having blood in video games has a negative social impact but having your badass protagonist smoking all the time could actually influence people who might get cancer

It's to "officialize" the act, so that they're not just removing smoke in a way where nobody would notice or care, but to have this organization put their stamp out and declare "this game OFFICIALLY SMOKING FREE" and make it ideologically anti-smoking, not just a game that happens to have no smoking.

This to me is actually lamest part, not the lack of smoking, but the fact that they're making Gears 5 go full D.A.R.E., which is just pathetic for an M rated game.

Its all bad, and tobacco IS worse, but one was ingrained as part of the culture for hundreds of years while the other gained traction in the last decades while being "related" so to say to a group of people most dislike, and its inclusion meant competition to the tobacco industry, so society cracked down harder on weed than with tobacco.

>The Coalition (formerly Zipline Studios, Microsoft Game Studios Vancouver and Black Tusk Studios) is a Canadian video game developer based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and a subsidiary of Xbox Game Studios. The Coalition is best known for developing games in the Gears of War series
OH NONONONONO BUT THE SEPPOS I NEED TO MENTION AMERICA AT LEAST ONCE IN EVERY THREAD NOOOOO

Yeah I get that. I'm just pointing out how retarded it is that even people who smoke weed think that tobacco is inherently worse. As far as I know the carcinogens are within the additives and not the plant alone.

That's an obvious scam, shipping weed through the mail is a felony even in legal states. The only way to get weed online is the darknet.

I mean socially as a stigma, no one thinks nothing if you smoke tobacco, but some will raise an eyebrow if they know its weed what you are smoking.
Alright, ive informed myself a little more in these last minutes and seen that weed was worse than I thought. Not saying I was talking out of my ass but Ive heard for years that tobacco is more toxic than weed by "studies".

I was never a fan of gears but was smoking even a big part of it? The only thing I can vaguely remember was someone having a cigar

Inhaling combustible plant matter is bad for you, weed is worse because most people dont use any type of filter. Even bongs dont filter weed smoke well unless they are multi chambered.

Tobacco doesn't make you stoned.

No, never.

Fuck lifestylers, just let me get high on the odd weekend without paying out the ass for it

Smoking has been secretly banned since the first game and there's always been phrases like that in all games. Nothing to worry about.

Nah, I think I saw a character with a cigar in 1.

It's all bullshit anyways. Anyone npc enough to smoke is going to do it anyways regardless of if your main character does it or not. It's just some virtue signaling that was dug up so an article can be made to keep the grind of not-news going for these websites.

Well for one the chemicals within are proven to cause lung cancer and addiction. Anyone who has tried to stop smoking will tell you how shitty it is. Anyone who has smoked for a long time will tell you how much of a money sink it can be.

Besides that, smoke intake is not what your lungs were made for. Constant smoking damages your internals and causes long term damage that requires years to fully heal. This manifests in smokers having a harder time with cardiac exercise and work while having less efficient breathing. It's not really something you can work off like that burger from McDonald's.

Besides that smoking ruins your beauty pretty quick. I've kissed both sides of the train tracks and smokers always have this ashy, grimy taste which is just terrible if they're not constantly on top of their hygiene. The smell sticks to them too and long term smokers always get that grindy voice on top of everything.

I agress
Its better to learn how to maul another than to smoke. Its pointless and its just poisoning yourself.

>chart clearly shows lung function going down with exposure for both

desu quitting smoking is fucking easy, those people are just weak-willed faggots.

I picked up vaping in my second year of uni, would do it very heavily during finals (~240ml of 12mg nicotine, which is far stronger than cigarettes) because I wanted the stimulant effect but wasn't comfortable fucking with Adderall.

Quitting cold turkey was easier than kicking my junk food habit.

you don't say. living in a high pollution area does the same thing just look at the global asthma levels in populated urban cities. in reality that negative decline for cannabis is negligible and the written studies even explain that.

>Commenting on the study, Dr. Donald Tashkin, who has studied the relationship between marijuana smoking and lung function for more than 30 years as a professor of medicine at University of California Los Angeles said the study has confirmed what other research has also concluded on marijuana.

>“This is a well-done study involving more subjects than in the past. The public should take away it’s a confirmatory study, but larger and longer than previous studies demonstrating, once again, that smoking marijuana does not impair lung function, unlike tobacco,” Dr Tashkin said.

i didn't really understand this until i had a conversation with my lesbian coworker about video games and she plays dead by daylight and league of legends and shit and hangs out on discord all the time. i never really considered that they were trying to pander to female neckbeards

thing is though they really aren't a very big demographic and i think its mostly culture war shit more than an actual strategic move. its already common knowledge that big developers give devs ultimatums based on word from their shareholders or funding so its kind of naive to assume that SJW shit gets added because its in the best interest of the game

they aren't a big demographic not because they aren't sizeable but because they don't spend a lot of thought on video games. they spend a lot of time chatting on discord or playing games where they can spend most of their time chatting. they actually don't want to spend any money or think about the game too much or anything like that.

If they didn't make a big deal about the "no smoking in upcoming Gears" none of you would realize either. Also in a world on the brink of destruction would not spend resources on growing tobacco so from a story perspective it being absent makes sense
