They got rid of all their mascots is why. They desperately need a marketable icon.

The Placeholder?

shouldn't have made her ugly then

they accidentally left placeholder text in there, it was supposed to read "aloy - horizon zero dawn". very embarrassing but they fixed it a week later

lmao are you kidding

when iw as a kid ime and dad made some mplds on clay with platic toys and then threw gypsum in thema dn we made copies iand it kinda looked loke tjhe picture

Sony wants to push the bizarre fucking concept that Aloy is the first big female video game heroine and had the balls to name the statue 'The Placeholder' saying she's there to inspire future women heroes.
Effectively they want to take credit for any women doing heroic things.

Didn't this game bomb because of Elden Ring? Seems pretty funby to try and mascot the financial failure lmao.

i understand

Are you okay user?

It would have bomber with or without ER

Then they need Chad Mc Blender Porn Miguel Angelo to make her decent.

The fame and worth of a franchise is proportional to the amount of well animated blender porn it has on the net. The higher the quality, the higher the worth of the franchise.

or an unlikable cunt.

im kinda crunk

Why tf are Sony pushing some shitty video game character like some greek legend
Is this really what culture has been reduced to

As always, to dismantle beauty standards, destroy the definitions of words, and to try to rearrange social hierarchies created based on the value we instinctively assign to attractive people.

Market research showed ugly feminist was what Twitter wanted, and as we all know Twitter represents the entirety of the planet's opinions.

so did gen 6 just not happen?
Why are womeme protags suddenly a big deal?

lol

Market research will always tell you that sex sells, right now corpos are trying to find the sweet spot where they can put JUST enough globohomo in their game to make Blackrock happy without driving customers away.

OMG she is SO ULGLY

>ugly even in anime style
it's over...

I remember when everyone lost their minds over this and called it sexist drawing.

It's honestly embarrassing

>ugly
she'd be the average "cute" side-character

dunno, you’d think they’d have stuck with the 90s/00s formula of big titty action girl who’s “one of the guys”. Ironically “empowerment” cucks women into more enforced roles than having sexy, independent girls as characters in media

Is this kid ime in the room with us right now user?

no sex appeal

>we need a marketable icon
>i know, lets make an ugly woman with a terrible personality, people love those!

Very simple. Sony is evil and stupid.

did that happen? i was on Yea Forums when this came out and i saw no twitter screencap threads about people being mad about it

Probably why theyve released both games alongside bigger releases, give them an excuse

is this even a good idea?
This character may be cancelled soon and they will have to rebrand AGIAN

That title always make me laugh. To me it always says Aloy is the Placeholder (design) that we just ended up using because we couldn't think of anything better

It should've been her

Companies are too cocky these days. They think they can just dictate what consumers want. And if the consumer doesnt want it, well, then the consumer is racist, sexist and also wrong. In their minds, if you don't want their product then you are a bad person. Call it a leftie mindset.

>Ugly even in tranime style
No shit.

>servers shut down after a year
she deserved better

reddit

did this game sell good or "bundled with ps4s/ps5s" sales

Whore

Terrible Mary Sue character.

no

The latter
It is legitimately difficult to get a ps5 that doesn’t come with it.

Because fun mascots like Jak and Daxter, Sly, and Crash are all dead and now their mascots are woman in her late twenties, man in his late forties, and lesbian in her early twenties.

the series has no organic adoption no it doesn't matter.

>you’d think they’d have stuck with the 90s/00s formula of big titty action girl who’s “one of the guys”
That formula existed because of the people in charge of making games. Those original guys are either retired, working on other things, or they cucked out and are following the current trend. The new batch of people in charge all say that the old formula is bad. So they have their own formula now that only THEY like.

I'm surprised Sony went all in on this terrible character
>busy design that isn't interesting
>not much of an appeal for looks
>her attitude is...grumpy? stoic?
She's the most flatline boring character. Who could get behind her?

First game (eventually) sold 20m copies. It's a big milestone, even if a huge chunk of sales were discounted/included in a bundle. I don't remember them ever boasting about the recent sequel's sales numbers but it's apparently still in the charts so it can't be doing too miserably.

They made her ugly and then even uglier so twitter trolls would like her
They still complained because they said the game was culturally appropriating
Maybe they'll finally understand that these people are a mentally disturbed minority of vocal weirdos and that no one likes the design of aloy

It's not even that. It's even stupider than that. Women are too jealous to buy games with characters more realistically attractive than they are. Realism in the art style is not an option, because we need that to shill the game to investors.

They should have bought Core Design/Eidios.
Lara is a very fun character, and easily mascot-capable.

Women only buy magazines with beautiful women. They're not going to buy magazines with ugly women or trannies in there.

IT WAS HER TURN.

Excuse me. I meant gamergirlz. I should not have been so flippant with my charitability on this front

Women love other beautiful women when they're abstract/fiction/not an immediate threat.
Also they're extreme coomers, which is a giant schism/dissonance that will probably never be addressed.

>Lara is a very fun character
In the eyes of these SJW types that never played a single Tomb Raider game (except for the new ones maybe) she has no character other than her tits.

Why couldn't we get this instead of Shrek?

HZD 1 should have been that version of Aloy, teenage years and coming of age stuff.
HZD 2 the adult version of that.

Instead we got to play for an hour as Fat Loli Aloy doing boring shit, then 2 games of menopausal flatline template-woman.

why do modern people suck at making statues?

Jewish art schools

unironically becoming a lost art

>then 2 games of menopausal flatline template-woman
She's actually supposed to be a teenager in the first game
