thats good at least, im still not a fan of the trend, i think people who cover games and publishers are a little too close for comfort. I remember feeling the same way when bioware put chobot in mass effect 3, or when ea had greg miller host their presentation this year. It just seems sort of gross.
I'm not going to go as far as to say it's concerning, but it's not a good look.
I was also very put off by Outstar suddenly going all in with Vampire content and then becoming Paradox's PR for World of Darkness. And I enjoy her content, but I'm familiar with the business and I know of a few influencers who seek gigs by low key pushing brands until said brands take notice. Even if she wasn't looking for it, it's something that you can't shake off.
I think it's something streamers and other internet personalities may want to take in consideration. Because they may not have ulterior intentions, but lavishly covering a certain brand and then profiting from it can look pretty damn sus.
They've put quite a few yeah. I don't think it's cringe but certainly for some it will take some suspension of disbelief. As much as I love CohhCarnage, I would never trust his opinions on Cyberpunk. It's hard to take someone's opinions objectively when they're involved in a game on that level.
Just a background character there though. Like random chatter. This one now is like a legit cameo.
She explains it in the video that her character was only modeled after her based on pictures she sent them. There was no mo-cap involved so I think they did a pretty good job.
Greg Miller and Kinda Funny are exactly the sort of people who should be doing that stuff. Of their multiple projects they release every week, they have exactly one gaming review podcast. It's mostly just about what they've been playing in general. The rest of their work is about reporting on news and doing interviews and shit like that.
TBH, they review more movies than games lately. If someone who's primary source of income was writing reviews was doing it, I'd agree with you. But as someone who watches a ton of their content, I don't go there for their gaming stuff.
Yup, that face scan did not do her justice. Oh and CDPR is trash. Don't support them.
I feel like this is going to blow up in CD's face JonTron-style.
Obviously not talking about Alanah of course, she's a decent person (as far as I'm aware), but Cyberpunk seems to have quite a few other influencers in there and all it takes is one ending up being shitty. That reminds me actually, did CD cut ties with Angry Joe? Because they had a lot of promo material with him.

But she's one of the better influencers out there. Wouldn't you rather see that being a trend instead? And what difference does it make having her or an unknown voice actor. At the end of the day, its just an NPC and if the role in-game is well done, I don't see why people should have any real issue with it, unless they actually don't like her personality or just paint all influencers with the same brush
Yeah good for her, It would be amazing to have that opportunity, but like you say why tho? Or any influencer for that matter.
I know there were some not-great social media posts, but I think CDPR is pretty great! May have missed something nasty though, so what do I know?
HAWP was a bunch of skits, where Ashly straight up acted as a character. She went from on-screen acting to voice acting (and some on-screen now as well). Alanah's YT channel is straight up an influencer channel.
Like, her pinned video is a "Q&A" about the game where she goes off about how "the hype is real" and how she "cannot think of a more detailed world in any game I have ever played otherwise."
I'm getting weird vibes about this...
Probably nothing though.
who was this?
I'm sure she'll recuse herself from covering this game in any way just like every other games media personality who was in a game.
oh wait…
oh wait…
Some of ya'll are reaching peak cynicism. Holy shit. Even saw some statements bordering the line of "ethics in games journalism" here which is mindboggling.
Jessica Chobot, ex-IGN host (though I can't remember if she was still with IGN when this happened).
This is going to be an issue with any personality that hasn't enjoyed the privilege of having social media handlers overseeing their public image. I bet most actors have a few potential skeletons in their closet (who hasn't said something really stupid or kept bad companies?) and some of them may be genuinely mean people, but they didn't have open access to social media until well into their careers and their failings weren't always public.
That isn't the case with influencers and even some younger actors. It's asking for trouble.
They're a bigoted company with more instances of issues with trans topics and the community than you can count on one hand. The topics are a search away here and on Google.
Tiny Tina? If so no, that was Ashly Burch. Though it was her first big role, which always surprises me for some reason.
Easily as opposed to what? Earning their cameos in trial by combat? lol
Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith will play a character in Cyberpunk 2077
"I actually recorded for one role, but they came up with a different one for me," Pondsmith said
Good for her,she seems excited but I dont think the character looks like her much...Chobot yeah as you see above had a better resemblance of her real life self I think...
The weird thing is that the idea of the character is fine but her dress choice and voice acting suck.
Time to file a live report about billions dying, better make sure my cleavage is showing in a tight dress. Excuse me?
I'm not gonna get into a detailed argument. Your first sentence pretty much says you're a fan, and your last already puts me in the hater column.
For me when I see someone in a game that I know exists in real life and their partipation in the game is more than an easter egg (name on the wall or name drop/reference), they aren't influencers they partipating in it. I hope you don't mind if PewDiePie or Ninja announced a same role she has.
Hunger Games or Royal Rumble not picky.
Also, what the hell, just watched the start of her video and she says "this is why, when talking about this game, I always said 'full disclosure: I'm really biased towards this game.'"
That's...not full disclosure, though?

Doesn't look like her at all, kinda weird.
Ah, in the vid she says she sent them pictures of herself. Wasn't face scanned or anything. No wonder.
