I mean Alyx wasn't a great character and her being a chink with a nig dad was weird, but more importantly she was never annoying and barely in the fucking game. If HL2 was made today you'd have 45 minute cutscenes with her talking about her previous trauma and how white man bad

It's only clarified as a conception suppressant in Episode One. In base Half-Life 2 it's a lot more ambiguous what the suppression field is actually doing, so some early fans misunderstood it as a libido suppressor and that fan theory took over discussion.

The difference is that Alyx actually was a stand-out in 2004. Their goal was just to make a regular woman in a time when most female characters in videogames were battle vixens or blatant eye candy. Nowadays the goal isn't to make a regular woman, it's to make the ugliest and fattest broads you could ever imagine, because people are afraid of sexuality and can't wrap their heads around the idea that a woman likes to show off the body she works hard to maintain.

it's perfectly fine to strive for diverse, representative, or realistic characters so long as it is in service of the game, the story, and the characters
it becomes a problem when those characteristics become the point, not a tool in crafting better games

to be fair, like 95% of character design discussions are almost always "sex appeal = good character design" on /v/. like, the "goodness" of a character, and in particular female characters, is directly equated with sexiness. which is an equally simplistic and shallow view of what makes a good character design good.

Because it's true, all you need is sex appeal and a little originality so it stands out from the crowd. Nobody wants to buy merchandise or cosplay as a an ugly black woman. It's just a fact, there's not way to argue about it besides resorting to moralistic arguments.

Valve has always been progressive, they're located in Seattle. The difference is they haven't changed.

Alyx was always shit.

I don't think playing HL2 I ever thought that the "cool" and savvy cyberpunk girl being in what was always supposed to be a really downtrodden and somewhat down to earth dystopian environment was ever anything other than a bit cringey. I'm convinced some people at valve even realised this given so much of HL2's narrative was built around you not being with her for most of the game (course they tried to make her more involved in the episodes).

I always just assumed that it was implicitly a temporary removal of the suppression field, hence why it would be such an attractive incentive. If the suppression field is just about reproduction then metrocops could just rape citizens to get their rocks off, the incentive doesn't fit.

I'm just saying that my immediate assumption upon hearing that line was that it was offering something that is otherwise unavailable to humanity. I wouldn't oppress my fellow man for hypothetical orgasm drugs, I might do it to get the decades long incel curse removed.

>>695179630
i think you are fundamentally misunderstanding the world a bit. its not a temporary removal of the suppression field, as the whole point of the suppression field is for there to be absolutely ZERO new humans born, therefore the people you see in half life 2 are the very last generation of human being unless the suppression field is destroyed. your point about metrocops raping citizens might very well actually be happening, just that the game doesn't show it. the whole point of the metrocops is to get citizens to "voluntarily" join the combine forces in order to get the benefits. the citizens themselves have virtually zero rights and are under constant oppression and suppression. the combine have been in power for about 20 years by the time of half life 2, so when you say you wouldn't oppress your fellow man for orgasm drugs then you are so woefully ignorant of what humans are capable of doing under an authoritarian regime, especially one as utterly bleak and dystopic as the combine who managed to conquer the earth in 7 hours.

reminder that demo was changed from a white guy to a nigger for no reason other than they thought they had too many white guys, and is subsequently one of the most liked blacks in gaming

>but it has several disgusting leftist elements
Exactly. Woke is always on the left, but being on the left does not always mean woke. There are too many retards who know woke shit when they see it, but don't know how to articulate it. There are also retards who make false positives because they just jump on bandwagons without thinking to themselves "what makes something woke". There are also falseflaggers who purposely try to claim things as woke to claim it as their own (aka OP). Those disingenuous fags are the type to cheer when something is woke, but if you were to say "that's woke" they say "no it isn't" despite saying so themselves. I would say BG3 has "woke aesthetics" like >>695173039 says.
>>695174913
I feel this shit increased after Concord fell to shit. Like there have been people trying to claim a game as part of "their side" for a long time. But recently I have seen an increase after that fiasco.

>>695172471
Yeah this is pretty much the crux of it. Alyx is still cute, attractive and likeable. Woke female characters in 2024 are not. Eat shit OP.

>also because it's good
It's not. HL1 didn't need a stronk quadroon girlboss saving you at any point, so it definitely wasn't necessary in the sequel.
>>
>>695182527
Woke is on the left, but left doesnt always mean woke.
When Hades 2 revealed a playable female character, that didn't make it Woke. When Hades 2 actually revealed what their game was, then it was clear that it is Woke.
Even Hades 1 had some woke shit because one of the devs said something along the lines of "greeks weren't white" as an excuse to make the characters various colors (instead of saying it's a stylistic choice, it was a diversity/inclusion choice)

Woke vs not-woke is not an equal comparison. That is like saying all cars are either red or not-red.

It's not like they didn't go the other way around too. The player model for Portal 2 actually made it to production before negative reaction to the concept art released in the ARG.

>>695167160
Eh, alyx wouldn't work looking like a skank. It makes sense. With that said we need more skanks in games.

Valve was always "woke" people just weren't insane back then

Alyx has consistently remained the most-played singleplayer VR game since the day it released. I'm more curious to know how many people bought VR hardware for the first time just to play Alyx like me.

>we wanted her to be attractive and charismatic

What's the problem? Where's the agenda pushing or cynical intent to look good whilst doing bad?

>Attempting to get across their artistic vision >State specifically they wanted a clean neutral artistic perspective in contrast to rest of the industry exaggerating everything
>Developers are computer scientists who are systematically breaking down and attempting to justify the content the create

In a woke era
>the developer is mandated to follow ESG protocol for their direct central banking slush fund loan
>Developer then needs to attend every conference to pat themselves on the back about how they made their lead character a purple haired exaggerated retard cause it is 'unique and underrepresented'
>Developers are purple haired exaggerated retards, whose wages will go to their physiatrist as they cry over imposter syndrome, being a 'class traitor', even though they have always been upper middle class.

I can't tell who is baiting who anymore. Le wokeism is like /v/'s 9/11, in that it totally fucking changed the landscape irreversible and the people most responsible fucked off to their cave and the rest of us have to go through the TSA version of going through the x-ray but examining if this lady's fucking boobs are big enough to be woke or not. I hate it here.

I thought alyx was cute as a kid and thought she gave off the air of an older neighbor I would crush on but I guess we can't have such pedestrian looking women anymore I guess

half life is a quake ripoff
team fortress is a quake deathmatch ripoff
alyx vance is a jade ripoff and uglier
dota is a warcraft ripoff
portal is a lame tech demo only women find impressive and the only game a woman has ever beaten
tried to make a hearthstone competitor, flopped
tried to make an autobattler to copy TFT's success, flopped
tried half life in VR, made it about the ugly chick instead of the main protagnist of half life since half life 1 for a $1k price tag + $60 game + tax, flopped

most overrated developer in history utterly devoid of any real talent or originality that only gets a pass cause you used to get 80% flash deals before australians cried about timezone disadvantages now you're lucky to get 35% off

What compels someone to just lie like this?

>>695187518
there's one side of the culture war that constantly cries about black/female/gay/etc characters and whatnot. they claim to want politics out of games but they politicize everything from skin color to women's bust size. in fact, they're going to rage reply to this very post, and probably accuse me of being a tranny.

If anybody was playing half-life games of all things for sexy shit in the first place, I think I feel honest to god sympathy for that level of mental dysfunction.
What the fuck had to happen to them in their childhood to get their brain rewired like that. Scary to think about.
