I don't give a fuck what she looks like, the much bigger problem is that the player has zero reason to care about her. Yeah, she's supposed to be the wife of Kratos and mother of Atreus, but that's just what we have been told through the tiny moments in the preceding games where the two have discussed her.

There should have been at least one game with her in a supporting role to make her an established character that the player might even care about before going straight to her being the player character.

The Jötnar are not immortal, just very very long lived. We have no idea how old Faye was when Kratos met her, she might already have been over what is considered middle aged for her kind.

The gods themselves are not technically immortal either, by the way. They retain their youth by eating the apples of Idunn, which the Jötnar do not have access to.

Kratos is a demi-god, who has had his godhood removed several times, killed his father who was a god, and switched pantheons. And he still looks relatively young despite the fact that hes grown a beard.

I despise coomers because they poison the whole fucking discourse. Yes, Faye is cringeworthy portrayal. No, it's not because she doesn't look like your gacha fapbait. It's because she's supposed to be a god, someone the mighty Kratos deigns worthy of his affection, in a hack-and-slash power fantasy yet they wrote her like a damn housewife. People are complaining about strong women when she's not even a strong woman. That's the whole fucking problem. She SHOULD be a badass but she's written like someone's self-insert.

>>
>>740616950
It's quite funny because you've just posted the evidence that you're projecting massively. You're pretending there's something happening just to support your retarded worldview. And that's why you're taking a screencap from a youtube trailer where the character is emoting and the camera has a slight fisheye effect, and comparing it to a promotional shot taken years before. Deep down you know that a fair comparison wouldn't quite prove your point, which is an admission that you're wrong; but you have to plough ahead in spite of that because you're not mentally well, and convincing others of your delusion is the only way to relieve the cognitive dissonance.

>>740621652
I'm sure they're going to figure out an explanation for that. Either A) she's actually a goddess being Loki's mom and all, and/or ascends similar to how other Aesir and Vanir were only 'gods' by comparison until they got upgrades like Odin jizzing into the pool and plucking out his eye for wisdom, Thor being worthy of his hardware notably the hammer etc or B) she basically got caught up in the gravitational field of Phrank the Cube if he's actually Metatron who can obviously warp reality. Also not sure if the sword/ribbon lady is someone from the Chinese pantheon or not

They don't know, they just want her to be young, sexy and attractive. There's not much else to it, I dont really care that much. Ive never been butt damaged over a video game character being old, young, just poorly designed and this isn't a good example of that. I dont think she looks bad, and I dont think that every girl in a video game has to have huge tits, skimpy clothes and a high pitched anime voice. And really that's where the complaint lies with them. I cant really think of any other actual reason.

No, they keep saying exactly that. It's not like every game's Starfield where the devs are just retarded.

Again, why are you acting like it's a secret when it's also something that's been written about for years? It's been like that roughly since OWS.
"Don't make them look too good so girls won't feel worse about their looks" is the reason for it. Look up Anita Sarkeesian and what she wrote and campaigned for, it was a big stink up here a couple of years ago.

And maybe it's just me, and being a dude, but ive never felt insecure or threatened by a video game character in my life. These aren't real people(yes, they can be based off real people, beside the point), and aren't made to really offend or make anyone feel insecure about themselves. I dont think there's any intention of that there. To me, it's just mind numbing entertainment and I see it as such. In no way has it made me feel insecure, or bad about myself in anyway. And feel a lot of this apparent offense doesn't exactly exist and it's people riding a social media bandwagon. I dont think making a character older or "realistic" does really anything and most of the time seems to be in context of the game instead of intentionally made to be "ugly" by people who's beauty standards come from heavily touched up internet porn stars and anime.

I hope so, just to see what happens sales figure wise. I'm not touching Hag of War, but I am buying Stellar Blade 2.

>>740627662
I think it will be another Stellar Blade 1 situation where the game comes out, does well, sells well, gets positive user reviewers, and the journo clique seethes and malds and gives it 6/10 for being 'problematic.'

Then, basically the opposite for GoW Laufey where everything about it underperforms except for getting glazed by the journos, similar to shit like Avowed, Veilguard, and Marathon.

The appearance jealousy is a female trait.
For men, it's money, like how everyone assumes that a rich guy is automatically a dickbag etc. Which is not that unfair since it's often enough true, just like how the prettiest girls are more often bitches since they can get away with it.

It's also why video games went for years without such attention, as relatively little women worked in them for years even when gaming got big in the 90s.
>>
>>740627554
To add to this, there's been enough examples to where they've been "uglified" to avoid this apparent offense. Like Mary Jane in Spiderman looking like a 40 year old walkmart cashier than the hit super model she is canonically. It situations like that where I ask who the fuck it would actually offend to have her look like she's supposed to look. She can be realistic too but that doesn't mean that a character has to be off putting. Realism doesn't mean ugliness, when the average person isn't really ugly. But its done for that reason, and I always questioned the legitimacy of those complaints.

It happens with movies and tv shows too, and seems people are getting really fatigued with that.
>>
>>740627450
Try to find one of her panels/speeches on youtube, her website's no longer working. She says pretty much the same things in most of them. Her whole point was that it's supposedly damaging for the supposed female gamers, something that was highly in vouge at the time.

Looking back, I think she did have good intentions, it just went a little over board. I did agree with somethings that she said. Like how people are treated like shit in online games and it being lame. I feel gaming should be for everyone, not just a certain niche of people. Its just she kind of made a non-problem a problem and it did have to do alot with a strong social media following that ended up pushing her ideals. But at the end of the day, still, I have no idea how a fucking video game character offends anyone. Male or female, it just seemed like a moral pissing contest to me.
>>
>>740628301
There has been some instances, but yeah they do find a weird looking frame and pass it off as proof. Look at how Ciri in w4 is "ugly". How is she ugly? I have no idea because she looked like a dime peice to me in the trailer. Calling her old and a hag when she's literally in her mid 20s.
>>
>>740619486
Did I ever say that the other norse gods looked cool? They don't. Whether they are accurate to their depuctions in mythology (as I specified in Laundrey's case) or not.
I repeat, unless shes supposed to look like a hag mythologically she should be a beautiful goddess. Its highly possible that she was some vile hag in mythology.

>>740600961
The big reveal of God of War 2018 is that your entire journey was predicted by Faye. Ragnarok reveals that prophesy doesn't truly exist. So Faye didn't see the future, she ensured the future with secret plans and guides. All the typical videogame yellow paint is literal: it was placed by Faye and shown to us as the first thing you see is a Golden Handprint. That was Faye causing Kratos to destory the barrier that was keeping him hidden from the Aesir. Faye also explicitly told Kratos to spread her ashes on the highest mountain in all the realms. Which means traveling to the Giants Realm and uncovering who Artreus really is. She is the reason Kratos was put on a head-on collison with Odin. Faye is the Norse Athena analog btw.

The sources on the goddesses/giantesses LITERALLY describe them as youthful and beautiful in almost every instance numbnuts.

Now if Krato's missus is based on a real figure from Norse myth and she's ACTUALLY meant to look like she's going to complain on X about why you didn't stop the migrant she literally helped enter the country illegally from sexually harassing her, before going back to her usual output of policing younger women's pussies, then fine.

Otherwise she should look STUNNING.

>But Kratos and the norse gods don't look perfect waaaaaaah

Got it, but went a bit off the rails towards the end. But its a video game and I dont worry too much about historical accuracy.

The entire debate around this game has been retarded and crass. You can be proactive against intersectionality, and there's a legitimate argument to be made against replacing male characters in established franchises.

This isn't an example of that. Laufey Isn't taking anything away from Kratos. He's intimately connected to her, so any side games dedicated to her will reveal things about him.

Another thing is the prospect of going to an afterlife dedicated to the Gods is awesome from a lore and gameplay perspective. Imagine the diverse range of pantheons. Meanwhile, she'll need to contend with her in-laws that Kratos killed. Narratively it's natural and exciting, and the next game will be about Kratos directly.

Instead of actually discussing any of this legitimately, it's just a retarded hogwash of online noise. They attack a real actresses looks and make ai edits of the woman doing domestic duties. It's just pure sexism and being agitated that you can't yank your cock to a woman. Ultimately you're depriving yourself of a fun experience and good story.

I've seen mental midgets compare this to the new Stellar Blade especially with the look of the two "women". Which not only has a new protagonist with an 8 year olds face, but it also looks like cheap UE5 shovelware. Your porn addiction deprives you of looking out for good quality games. I'm not saying God of War is peak gaming, as it has its contemporary pitfalls, but I've yet see anyone bring this up in its discussion.

Aside from the multiplayer aspect the appearance of the female characters was why. Hence, the enshittifaction of the female beauty in games (and the backlash against games that didn't do it like Stellar Blade where their only "crime" was literally having an unrealistically beautiful woman as the protagonist).

Nah, it wasn't that. It was about their narrative roles.
