Especially for a game series known for male aggression and masculinity from it's main character Kratos. God of War is one of those masculine video game series, the only other series where I think of it being predominantly male oriented is Gears of War but I think I heard they managed to feminize that series as well.

I don't care about playing as a woman in games but this new entry has no business calling itself a "God of War" game, it really should have been its own series starring a woman and that would have been perfectly fine. God of War predominantly portrays Kratos as its main character, obviously this would be like making a new Tomb Raider game which is known for a strong representation of a female main character and replacing Lara Croft with some dude. This new game is probably going to be pretty good but I am not interested in the slightest in buying this even if it sells well.

When I think of God of War I think of Kratos killing monsters in pure masculine rage. The first God of War game even had a sex minigame with sex slaves which was controversial for its time, but it's just another example of how very male oriented this series is. The new reboot games showed off the relationship between Kratos and his son.

Also some ips just have a specific main character and it's sorta hard to deviate away from them and give the role to someone else. When they rebooted GoW they brought Kratos along, if it doesn't matter that he isn't the main playable character why did the reboot bring him along? If it doesn't matter then the reboot games should have then created a brand new main character. When I think of God of War I think of Kratos and that's it.

You have no idea how absurd this all looks to someone who only played God of war and it's sequel on PS2 and never touched the series after that. the faggots who played the reboot games at least have some context who this woman is and they will defend this game for that reason. I was just laughing 20 minutes straight during that state of play like what the hell is this garbage.

Wolverine got almost as much time at the beginning and since these two games are both PS5 exclusives, permanently now since Sony is done with PC ports, there's a reason they got the most airtime. Sony is trying to convince people to buy PS5s. It's hilarious that this is the best they've got to show.

It is farily clear they gave her a random fuckass game, and then made it into whatever this dogshit is
Which is why the game is a mishmash of random bullshit completely disconnected at first glance (I am sure they will force it in) from the lore of the series, and why there is a fucking random jelly cube

You fuckers are too dense to see this is an astroturfed campaign from the company themselves, they are trying to get progressive white women to buy the game purely due to the gender culture war they created.

They probably created that meme themselves, from psychologist advice on what would be the most effective to get progressive white women to spend money on a game they won't even play.

Many years ago advertisers in the UK made a chocolate bar and stated it was for men only, they had record sales among women.

it will not bomb by the sales data, but it will secured its place in meme for a long time
then sony will find out that the sales data were fake and had to wordplay their way in shareholders meeting
then layoff will begin for completely different reason given by the journos
then you found out the ((core members)) were not laid off, never was, never will, never will be
then you realise that everything had been money laundering plot all along
repeat as the ((core members)) move on to form a new team for a new totally hyped big title AAA game

I actually really liked the trailer mostly.

I liked how she was fighting. Her moves were really cool. The cinematics of her taking the hits were cool too.

The sword was alright, I didn't mind it. The cube though, that to me was the most ridiculous part. I am hoping that there is something/someone/spirit stuck inside of it that they release later in the game. So we can get rid of the cube.

I think her body is decent, but I do see what people are saying about her face being uglyfied.

What I find the most interesting is that the company made her beautiful in the moment shes dead with the butterflies, but the moment she wakes up in the afterlife she immdiately has make up removed, wrinkles, aged face wise.

It's like they know what they are doing. This moment proves they know how to make women look more attractive, and that they can do it. But 100% choose to make her uglier.

I agree that she looks like real women do without make up. But women hate looking natural without make up, because most are pretty mid to ugly.

I do want to play the game, and I will. I just hope the story is good. She is decent enough looking where I don't mind playing her.
But as a guy player. We often do want to play as women we find attractive. Because we want them as waifus, want to fuck them and protect them.

Am I saying I wouldn't protect an ugly bitch? Nope, I would not. Because I don't want to fuck her neither. This is how man are and think. Women just hate this reality.

But shes alright enough to play as if shes cool.

The idea is to create a culture through media saturation and availability. The who, what, why and where it is coming from is intentionally obfuscated. It's a form of fifth generational warfare. Basically, you're asking the wrong questions and if you actually wanted the answer to that you wouldn't be searching for answers here.

>>740225890
because its obvious something happens when you die in the afterlife. Crackpot theory, is Sehkmet and Begtse aren't even dead. They found/used these gateways to arrive in the afterlife which lets them prey on people who did already die. I wouldn't be surprised if the central core magic is shared between all the realms/gods, so dying in the afterlife returns it to the "pool" to allow others to be stronger.

The reboot games are the reason you are getting this shit OP. They completely toned down everything awesome about Kratos and replaced his original badass VA with some mealy-mouthed faggot who sounds like the grumpy high school teacher that everyone laughed at behind his back. If you faggots actually called out this bullshit back when Cuck of Woke was released then all this could've been avoided.
