SNK Heroines feels like the ultimate expression of shitty right wing gamers. It's the bastard child of Smash Bros and traditional fighting games with all the depth and unique mechanics replaced by titties. Oh, and the fucking super mechanic from PlayStation Allstars Battle Royale.
That game still has a lot of fanservice, all that was just talking from Team Ninja and nothing else, the same happened with DOA5. I would say it underpermored because the game at launch was a mess and now still is incomplete, also $90 season pass.
At this point "Woke" basically means treating anyone other than straight white men with a modicum of respect.
MK11 is big. It's just not "second best selling game of the year" big. However OP has now edited the initial post to say that's it's the second best selling game in the US. That's correct per NPD, so no harm no foul.
But it is, in the US at least. The point is that it did extremely well, and that stretches beyond the US, too. I don't know why you're so hung up on the fact that I forgot to put US in the OP.
The latter is even funnier because chuds liked to use Sarah Connor as an example of 'unforced' diversity. But - as the prophesies foretold - when push came to shove:
I mean MKX is already where they made a drastic shift in their approach to female character design, and where they introduced their first gay character (albeit only alluded to in a line of dialogue).
Yes I am well aware of the women that served in WWII, but there is no denying that the majority of the battles of WWII, including many of those depicted in Battlefield V were fought by predominantly men.
I mean... by definition, these fuckers are completely incapable of that.
Phew... thank goodness there are like 100 WW2 games that all feature exclusively men. Imagine the social and historical damage this game might do by featuring some women... /s
Totally, I'm just surprised they don't even bother trying to hide it.
It was all about the marketing. Activision didn't put a woman on the cover of their WWII game. The only marketing material (that I recall) to feature women were a few shots of the customization in the multiplayer and maybe a few brief clips of the French resistance fighter from the campaign. If I'm not mistaken, she appeared in a stealth section of the game.
lol that was my first thought reading his post
Again not the point of my post. Women fought in WWII, let's tell those stories. Battlefield V certainly did not.
Okay, but why does it matter? This isn't an academic paper on the war, it's a fictitious piece of entertainment that already exaggerates aspects of the war.
Surely if we're gonna adhere to hard realism we should look towards the series that never advertised itself as being about hard realism and we should also point out the fact that many weapons and equipment we have in BF games are experimental and don't see widespread use on that scale? Right? Hello?
Remind me again which BF game literally is a history lesson?
It shouldn't matter, but the backlash should be expected and EA didn't handle it well (not saying they were wrong). Activision was smart in how they marketed their game. EA was not.
Agreed, which is why I own it and continue to play it.
On the other hand, Neo-Nazis reacting to Wolfenstein as if it's a new and offensive thing was fun.
