You dont really wanna go back to an era where almost every main character was a generic caucasian man do you?
>>
>>729404225
What was wrong with that era?

We need to go further back

all of those MCs completely mog every single protagonist that comes out nowadays

>>729404225
We need to honestly. When was the last time we got another Doomguy or Shepard? None of the main characters of the 2010's and 2020's hold a candle to the ones before.

Do you not play video games at all? What's wrong with Geralt?
>>
>>729404930
The first The Witcher came out in 2007.
As far as actual new characters go, the 2010-2020 have very little to offer.
Joel had potential, but they killed him off.
Jensen could have become something, if they kept going after Mankind Divided.

It's more likely that you just don't play video games. Did you play Baldur's Gate 3 or Expedition 33?

>>729404930
Anon, Geralt is foremost a character from a novel that came out in the fucking 80's.

Thanks, shitskin. Witcher 3 was 2015, though. Why does that not count?
>>
>>729405482
Sorry I meant main characters.
And no, in both of those title there isn't a main character that you can plop anywhere and make people go "OMG IT'S JOHN HALO!" like you can with those in the OP.
>>
>>729405671
Because otherwise Master Chief could count since Infinite came out in 2021, when it clearly doesn't.

I'm sorry that the characters in those games didn't get the approval of an estronaut. I need to go filter threads full of shitskins now. I have like 50 filtered but the sub-humans just make new ones after they realise they're camping filtered threads. Enjoy each other's company.

I genuinely like non-white protags as long as they're well done which isn't very often

Christ why do I waste time here..?

>>729405924
Why are you getting mad? Neither of those games you said were aiming for that in the first place.
E33 the whole cast shares the spotlight, while in BG3 who is the main character matters so little they let you pick one of the companions to be the MC, if you really want.
>>
>>729404225
Not only that, I want to go back to an era where only caucasian men designed the game. And only caucasions played online.

Sure. It's better than what we have now.
>>
modern live service goyslop relies on customizable mutts or multicultural ensemble cast instead of heroic white male characters that players adore so they become icons of vidya

only truly iconic post 2010 vidya character is Steve from minecraft, that people recognize and actually care about.
zoomies will likely say among us crewmate and freddy fazzbear and fortnite jonesy.
>>
Yeah who cares about characters like MShep and Adam Jensen when we have cool and memorable heroes today such as, uhh… like, uhh, well…
>>
>>729404225
Just because nu-protagonists aren't white doesn't mean there aren't cliches among them

>Is a woman and or possibly black
>Is either gay or trans, possibly both
>Will act like a total dick to everyone
>Will claim to be a good person
>Authors pet/stand in

Yeah, you can kind of spot the modern tropes of the current year character pretty easily.
>>
>>729404225
Generic? No.
More caucasians? Yes.
More men? Yes.
And actually masculine to boot. None of this modern "nobody's allowed to be masculine" bullshit.
>>
>>729404418
This, desu

>>729404225
Yes.

>>729406183
Such better times.

What in the actual fuck is this?

>caucasian
Gigachad is a caucasian churka. There's probably not a single game protagonist like him.

You can't tell they're Greek gods?

This is offensive to the gods.

Why wasn't Drake as popular as Snake/Big Boss & Chris Redfield when it came to bara?
>>
>>729410086
Because Nathan Drake doesn't ooze the same sort of militaristic masculinity they do. Hes a treasure hunter who wears a scarf and makes endless quips. Its like asking why men prefer feminine women over Abby, Taash and Deborah Wilson.
