The next one doesn't look so exciting, though. Prey was pretty good. They should just make new IPs and try to be the new Looking Glass.

Emily is the best thing about Dishonored 2, though. Her voice in particular gives me the fucking diamonds. Playing her in NG+ with all her powers and Corvo's Za Warudo is GOAT.

>>380861187
But imagine what could have been without publisher meddling

>>380861187
I'm not in complete agreement, but these two games at show that they're willing to put effort into level designing, making an interesting environment to explore. Prey moreso.

Letting Sarkeesian interview you and taking it seriously is like taking a homeless guy off the street and asking him his thoughts on quantum mechanics of wormholes. He isn't qualified at all to answer and will probably have no idea about any of it.

Sarkeesian is not a journalist, she isn't qualified, and she knows nothing she talks about at all. If you take her seriously as a journalist for your company, you have failed.

They implemented a female character well though. Emily is fun to play as.

There is literally nothing wrong with diversity, but it certainly shouldn't be something that is forced on developers.

Does Bethesda do that retarded shit where they need their games to sell at least four million or else the IP is up on the chopping block?

I really liked the new Prey. There are a lot of System Shock 2 wannabes, but this one put a lot of it's competition to shame.

Well, Emily is the better character to play as so I don't mind. That and I'm not an easily triggered baby.

Emily was ok. Playing as her suited the story a lot better as far as the 'she was a pretty shit empress before this and needs to do better' thing goes.

Course the story itself was pretty weak, they're should've went with new characters.

>>380862696
No. I like black women. This character is ugly. Thats all. Should have kept the mask on.

>>380862607
Anita was mad that you could play as Corvo at all. But she still called it her GOTY.

>>380860826
>You have to fill diversity quotas or else

>>380862696
A game is a piece of entertainment that lets you play as a character.

Since most of the target audience are white they don't identify with a black lead and so don't buy it.

Social justice people say this doesn't matter, yet they want more blacks and women? Why? because it does matter.

As such they don't buy the games.

It's not ignored, it's underrepresented at best, but the complaints are overrexaggerated.

They also keep ignoring that the main reason for male MCs is to keep women out of harm's way, because here's what MCs do: they repeadtedly die everytime the player losts.

And then they'll never ever mention the cannon fodder being 100% male in video games, because if they do that, they'll have to acknowledge the reason: it's again about not depicting women dying.

Well right off the bat, it is claiming that the global sex ratio is 101 male/100 female.

Also
>An additional problem is that many of these men are of low socioeconomic class with limited education. When there is a shortage of women in the marriage market, the women can "marry up", inevitably leaving the least desirable men with no marriage prospects. In many communities today, there are growing numbers of young men who come from lower classes who are marginalized because of lack of family prospects and the fact that they have little outlet for sexual energy. There is evidence that this situation will lead to increased levels of antisocial behavior and violence and will ultimately present a threat to the stability and security of society

Honestly, it's fucking stupid how salty /v/ gets over playing as a black guy, but expects all black guys to enjoy playing as a white guy. Gonna leave this here.

"The Pew Research Center found that 19% of Hispanic respondents and 11% of Black respondents described themselves as "gamers," compared to 7% of Whites.[2] Another report by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that African American and Hispanic youth ages 8–18 spend more time with video games on average than White youth.[3] Nielsen survey research found similar results.[4]

In her work, Adrienne Shaw describes how the gamer identities of players intersect with identities of gender, race, and sexuality.[5]

Another Pew study showed that 89% of Black teens play video games, as well as 69% of Hispanic teens. In addition, white and Hispanic teen gamers were 'more likely than blacks to report feeling angry while playing online.'[6]"

TO the point: You're wrong. Putting a woman in a game is not "SJW" "SJW is when they force a political standpoint and make that character the prime focus to appease the masses from a multiethnic perspective. Emily is hardly "The main focus"

>>380863775
Because of that the story was heavily impacted.
Not to mention that they forced the same antagonist because of strong females (that we killed in the end of DLC).

All I care is that they give her some unique new abilities. I love that in DH2 NG+ you can choose from either characters abilities, and the coolest part about the original games DLC was Dauds remixed abilities. I'd rather it be her than playing an established character again. Being able to pick Daud would be cool, but the game isnt out yet so im not going to judge its worth off a character design that is in both the games extensively

DH2's story only makes sense if you play as Emily anyway.

You see her go from irresponsible stoner bitch to actually wanting to take care of her kingdom, in Low Chaos anyway.

With Corvo its just another round of "gotta save the day, again."

Female protag is fine, extremely poorly written characters, scenarios and overall plot is not.

Emily is also insufferable, starts the game whining about not wanting to do her duties, spends the rest of it making excuses for having fucked everything up and promising to do better... why the fuck do I want her to win?

>All I care is that they give her some unique new abilities.

That's the problem, all most people care about is the mechanics since that's what makes the game fun. So when SJWs whine that they want some aesthetic change, devs have no problem caving to them - it doesn't really affect gameplay too much. They're going to keep caving unless we stop ignoring aesthetics, develop some higher aesthetic sensitivity, and start demanding good-looking characters.

Developing multiple models and rigs and such costs resources, time etc.

Developers will often cut corners when pandering to certain crowds (check out the neptunia games for a non "hurrr feminism" example of what pandering begets) and as such people will respond negatively to pandering (unless they're being pandered to, obviously) because it negatively affects them.

That kind of sounds like what happened with the AC series. After alllll those games they finally got a female protag in syndicate, she was pretty well written even if the bulk of the story was the old 'siblings don't get along until they almost die at the end' thing

Then we have this...'thing' where people act like they have a problem playing as a female protagonist, which to me is hard to tell if its just a meme or them being serious

>>380863774

Then Yoko Taro comes along and makes this game that shakes the entire internet

Yoko: Just make the games you really want to make and not care what people think

World: THANK YOU BLESSED TARO-SAN

Suddenly people are fine with a female protag and its very easy to hyper-sexualize her because of her outfit

Female protags? - Not okay because MUH MANLY MAN PROTAG

Female Support Characters / Antags Who Are Partially Sexuazlied - Femnzai's grab their torches and pitchforks

>>380862462
They didn't implement her well for the same reason Telltale fucked up season 3 of their walking dead series. They took an ending, and then said "fuck it, let's keep going"

Dishonored has a nifty setting. A setting that can be explored in a thousand different ways. Instead, no, retcon the original ending where Emily is a wise old princess raised by Corvo who dies peacefully. Now it's all about her being a badass assasin protege, and Delilah returns for some reason.

Interview with Ancel I believe. The protagonist is customizable, gameplay is open world and planets are randomly generated (think No Man's Sky). So everything's very different from the first game.

She wasn't well written at all. She and Jacob suffer from having 2 character traits which define their entire personality. They are both stock "brawn and brains" characters. Not only that but her romance is so hilariously forced and out of place.

>>380864331
how about if you want more female characters why not make games where they actually fit in and make sense as in non combat heavy games that are set in the past or in fantasy worlds that are heavily based on past events

I guess from my perspective that makes her motives and background more complex and she's more established than most of the secondary characters. If not her, I don't know who else besides a completely new character would be a good fit for playing. I'd rather have new moves and a new protagonist than re-hashing an old one, personally. I also don't think a "good" character has to be a likeable one.

>All the protags are
While that's mostly true, at least the other ones had flaws. Sometimes those flaws were shallow, but they had them. Altair was a cunt with an ego, Ezio was a living, breathing ego who took years to temper himself and mature, Connor never thinks for even a god damn second, Edward is a massive selfish prick who ruins everyones lives in a vain attempt to make his better and Haytham is blinded by pride. Shit even Arno, who is essentially Ezio 2.0, had severe loyalty issues that made him into a massive putz.

Evie, you could argue, has the flaw of being "rash" or something. But her brother is the only one ever called out on that. If that's indeed a flaw, nobody ever tries to point it out. She's otherwise almost always right, almost always on point and outclasses her foes. Even the Ripper, for the most part. Who I'm still salty was underused as shit

Corvo only wears the mask because he's a wanted man and it has some stealth functions. But if you don't play Dishonored why are you concerned with the franchise? The first one is usually pretty cheap, you should give it a go its a lot of fun imo

I'm hoping Daud doesn't show up. I love Daud and his actor and all, but I also liked how he responded to being granted a second chance by vanishing into the unknown.

This is my problem with so many sequels, they ruin these open endings full of mystery and questions to tell you exactly what happened.

What's so bad about making a game you want to? I don't understand why devs cave in so much. Why not be happy and make the game you have dreamed of instead of being scared that some nobody with hoop earrings will criticize you for 5 seconds?

I think it's purely for the stealth function, because everyone wants your head almost immediately. I never particularly understood it, it's not like you are particularly suspicious for wearing a mask in a shitty plague filled city. Only in places like the brothel, maybe. I guess it's the fact that Corvo never ditches his royal protector coat.

Because games are expensive, if you want to keep making games that you love to make you need money. And sometimes, to get money, you have to do things you don't want to do. It's the reality of making movies and games and whatever else. You can't survive on good will and your own joy forever, especially with larger productions.

I mean this is ideal to real world building. Like or dislike them gay people exist and just live in the world. Arcade Gannon was a great character in New Vegas because he liked dudes but wasnt screaming about it constantly, you found it out by getting to know him like with a real human in real life.
Juxtapose that with Bioware where in an opening monologue a character will tell you that theyre trans / gay and go into full detail like no one ever would ever.
It's just shitty ass writing. Who cares if theres dykes and fags if they're well written.

You play games with dudes who you don't want to fuck though right?
Like im not trying to be a dick to you, it's just like, do you only want to play a FIRST PERSON game with a character who you want to dick?
Corvo is a more unique and iconic design for sure, but its a bit of a silly and immature reason to avoid a game in my opinion. In the end its just you missing out, and the game might not even be good who knows

Modern female game protags are gay as fuck. I'd rather have action hero Lara Croft back.

'educated' whites self hate is the root cause of much of this bullshit

>>380867278
The difference is
>Yoko Taro: I want to make a female protagonist. Make 2B sexy. Make her ass perfect or you're fired. This is what I want.
>Arcane: We didn't really want to make a female protag but FF complained, and we don't want to get in trouble, so I guess we have to now or we'll get called women-haters on the internet by 5 people

Old Lara actually had great personality and could be considered strong in all senes.
Modern women/niggers in games are just quota fillers.

>>380867209
It's case by case. In this instance, making a fan favorite character playable, it's not an issue. In other instances, like say adding one of every ethnicity and gender and whatever into a game just to hit all the checkboxes, it's more of a problem. You can't be a drone and just say "it's all okay" or "it's all not okay". Each situation is different.

>>380867471
No, I just prefer playing with aesthetically pleasing characters. If I ever play 2 I know I'm not going to touch the girl campaign for exemple.

It doesn't stop me from playing game I'm interested in ofc but if I'm going to play Dishonored 3, I'll rather play 1 and 2 first. And for that I need to clear my backlog a bit.

wtf prince is dead?

when did this happened?

>something resulted in a publisher allotting more money to a project to expand the scope of a game because they wanted to look like they were doing the right thing
>literally gets the game you were going to play more money and adds a fully realised alternate playstyle added to the game
>you're supposed to interpret this as a Bad Thing™ because you don't like that people asked for female representation in games

who could possibly justify thinking this way

>>380868275
because some people don't like retards like Anita who shove politics into everything, therefore they must be the /pol/boogeywoman

>>380860050
Dishonored was great, but 2 was dogshit.

It's almost like making a fun and memorable character works better than blank slate emotionless robots that just exist to virtue signal.

You know for a group of people that are constantly crying about "male power fantasies" they sure as fuck self insert in a lot of things.

>>380867943
How is it cherry picked? Are you implying females make up a majority of protags? That's obviously nowhere close to being true

>>380861621
Any word on whether Daud will be playable? Seems to make perfect sense given the setup, and style of the base game.

>>380868384
Right? Who would do something as retarded as pulling shit out of their ass like "publishers allotted more money to the project so they could appease feminists"

I mean really? Who would suggest something so utterly ridiculous?

reminder that Dishonored was never good.

You say that like they were before.

Don't you remember that interview where they said their playtesters in the masquerade level wouldn't go upstairs because a guard told them they're not allowed to? And they changed the level?

They've been accommodating retards since the beginning.

>>380861091
Honestly the game feels like it was made for her but they wanted Corvo in the game so they could experiment with weird new powers without having to be criticized for dropping corvo's

>>380868423
Good .webm

>>380864792
I'd rather play as Daud. And this part is silly but I loved it how Corvo wore the mask even though never see it that much in game, and I'm sure here she won't wear her awesome Whaler mask just to show shes black even though she could easily put it on later. Silly I know
