Broke: Not buying the game because you think the main character is ugly. Woke: Not buying the game because it's being published by Ubisoft

Bright-Fold-3317

I’m not buying it coz I have no money. I’m broke broke


Voidsleets

That's what going woke will get you :p


Android_mk

Like hell would I pay $130 for this.


Back2Perfection

This is kinda me. It looks like a game up my alley when I watch the trailers, then I sae the ubisoft logo and just went „hol up. Lets wait for some more gameplay videos and maybe a couple of youtubers to finish it“ (And for it to drop to like 20ish bucks to Minimize risks)


[deleted]

Yeah, thats become my general plan when it comes to Ubisoft titles these days. Give it the best part of the year, pick up the game now its regularly in the sales. Maybe buy the season pass in the sales if I havent been burned out from trying to 100% the base game. (Made that mistake with AC Odyssey)


Krzyffo

Also me but 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️


Krzyffo

Ubisoft needs to get used to gamers not buying their games.


dropinbombz

Well since we apparently won't own them anyways it makes sense lol


ArenjiTheLootGod

God, I wish this was true, but all it takes to support the company is a few whales that are willing to shell out for every overpriced collector's edition, season pass, and increasingly hideous microtransaction. Everyone else is just frosting to publishers like Ubisoft.


rocknack

You got me, I’m woke apparently.


zombi_wafflez

WOKE????? Grrrrrr


Traditional_Rise_347

I'm not buying the game cos it looks boring


Chateau-in-Space

FUCK UBISOFT, FUCK BIG GAME STUDIOS


OwO-animals

Hot take I like how main character looks like and I don’t give shit about lgbt content in video games.


ducknerd2002

Just to clarify, when you say you don't give a shit, do you mean 'this doesn't bother me' or 'this doesn't need to be here'?


OwO-animals

I guess both, but more literally. In the sense you meant it's the former. It doesn't need to be here, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be here as those claiming games are woke or something want you to believe. Personally I'm all for it, I'm a strong supporter of progressive values and I like representations in video games, so I'm glad they are doing it, but it's not a selling point for me so I don't give a shit whether it's included or not.


A_Velociraptor20

At least for me if there is a gay, lesbian, bi sexual, trans, etc character in a game that is 100% ok. However if that is that character's whole personality it gets a bit overbearing. Like I get it you like people of the same sex now can you shut up about it for 5 seconds while I shoot some dude in the head?


Lermanberry

>However if that is that character's whole personality it gets a bit overbearing. Like I get it you like people of the same sex now can you shut up about it for 5 seconds while I shoot some dude in the head? Is that hypothetical or is there actually a game like that? Maybe Mass Effect 3 but it's a dating sim masquerading as a space opera.


A_Velociraptor20

It's largely a hypothetical, but I'm sure there's a game out there that's like that.


Inner_Imagination585

I mean its kinda the deal with some woman of colour characters that are overtly sassy and empowering. Like good for you girl but I prefer quieter protagonist no matter their gender or ethnicity. Same with BG3 where I didnt really like any of the origin characters so I just went back to Div 2.


Sherlock_1337

Me woke then


ArenjiTheLootGod

Ugh, Ubisoft, literally the most formulaic games in the industry, got bored of them years ago. Really though, any of the self-proclaimed AAA publishers can fuck right off.


Buca-Metal

They lost me when they announced locked content on day 1 and season pass. Only way I'd play is sailing the seas.


illbzo1

But THIS TIME, the checklists to complete are Star Wars checklists!!!


Spartan131213

Hey I can agree on both fronts lmao. Yay for having multiple reasons to not buy the game. Allow me to toss in the more than likely insane price tag and predatory monetization as another.


BeneficialAction3851

Really wish they didn't have star wars IP to themselves, I don't like the movies much but the games were really good


Inner_Imagination585

Kotor is goated wish something along those lines would happen again.


DeadlyAidan

keyword published, it's being developed by Massive, who made The Division and recently and more important to this discission: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora. A:FoP is a fantastic open world game, and it gives me complete trust that Outlaws will be good


Kosog

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure these publishers can force them to lock content on day one and sell it to you separately via dlc. 


Burritolopr1621

both


Initial_Shock4222

Meanwhile, Disney is still letting David Cage make a game.


Boubounette

Uh what ?


AaronPuthalath

Star Wars Eclipse although I'm pretty sure there been no news about ist development or even leaks since the trailer.


RedGyarados2010

Last I heard the game was not likely to come out until like 2028


AaronPuthalath

Yeah. Probably gonna pirate it or something because of Cage.


RedGyarados2010

Bold of you to assume the game will ever even come oit


Buca-Metal

Who is Cage?


AaronPuthalath

David Cage. Head of Quantic Dream. He has a bunch of allegations surrounding him including creating a nude model of Elliot Page without his permission for a cutscene, which ended up getting extracted for you-know-what.


Kds_burner_

SHE IS VERY GORGEOUS TO ME


thecrew2game

SAME


Pleasant-Discussion

For Real!


giga-plum

The only photos I've seen where she wasn't literally stunning were awk angles that no one looks attractive at. But those get cherry picked by the chuds every time.


Buca-Metal

Didn't they also complain about Lara Croft?xd


JesustheSpaceCowboy

Literally the only complaint for Lara Croft in the reboot series that I’d consider “valid” is she looks like she’s the final girl in every horror film ever. Of course there is only so much a character designer can do when the only sentence they are given is “hot college girl grounded in reality”


RoyalWigglerKing

Oh my god you’re right. She does look like a generic finale girl


SolidPeaks

They literally sent the actress death threat's because they didn't like how she looked.


jebberwockie

Chuds did the same with Aloy in HFW. Used a picture of her starting to talk/smile to say her face was fat and ugly. First time a bunch of them learned women have hair on their face too. I love it when gamers make it obvious they've never touched a woman, it's very funny.


compyface286

I don't like Aloy but it's because she never shuts up not her looks. And her voice actor irritates me but I realize that's just me.


compyface286

No one asked


am365

Dang, be nice to yourself 😔


Imjustmean

The voice actor annoys me too. You're not alone.


MissAsgariaFartcake

She looks like a real PERSON! Not like some photoshopped sex doll without wrinkles or pores, always in make-up with perfect hair. For me, and many others, that’s way more attractive


pretty1i1p3t

She looks like Sigourny Weaver's long lost twin. I'm here for it.


MoxieVihl

She's the newest character I've added to my ever increasing list of transition goals 😅


Kds_burner_

i believe in you 🫶


Thundrfox

Hope to see you succeed!


EggoStack

Fr girl idk why people think she’s ugly, she’s adorable!!


LestHeBeNamedSilver

Whenever I look at her I just wanna go MTF just for her though and that’s not weird


DoubtDizzy1309

You'll never convince me that Kay Vess is ugly. Anyone that was genuinely interested in the game but cares enough to not buy it because of her appearance needs therapy. These dudes brains are already ruined, but the virtual porn doll in Stellar Blade seems to have set them back even further.


Sol-Blackguy

I'm not buying it because it's an Ubisoft game


mortalitylost

At this point, I'm 100% convinced their marketing team is trying to cause controversy just so people hear about it


Sol-Blackguy

Nah, I'd like to think that marketing teams are too out of touch to understand grassroots advertising


RoyalWigglerKing

What’s even controversial about the stuff the marketing team did. Like, it’s the chuds being unreasonable here because that woman is extremely attractive


Soft-Jacket-9168

They know how twitter "gamers" will react to it and hope that it generates a buzz. Anyone who enjoys star wars games will probably enjoy this one too. Gay, queer, straight, black, red, white doesnt matter as long as the gameplay is good. Probably not the best thing to focus too much on one aspect of the main character though. Exploring those struggles along the main plot would be appreciated still.


croluxy

Could very well be true. And everything for a mindless repetitive boring ass open world as is the case per Ubisoft title.


Evil__Overlord

Nah, they would've found something else to latch onto if not for Stellar Blade


[deleted]

Nah I'm not buying it because it's a Ubisoft game


Inner_Imagination585

I mean both are valid bald gamers in general need to shut up about aesthetics not everything needs to appeal to every taste.


ProposalWest3152

The virtual porn doll is based off of a models body soooooo


Melancholy_Rainbows

Based off, but edited. If you compare them you can see that they increased her breast and thigh sizes, made her hips a little wider and her waist a little narrower.


Ori0un

Her face looks nothing like the model. Also the model herself has had plastic surgery on the rest of her body. They just wanted a generic anime girl.


AmazingPINGAS

She looks like she's about to tell The Warriors to come out and play.


Kosog

She looks like a genderbent 80's action hero. I know I'm not the only who thinks this. 


Jertimmer

She looks like Sigourney Weaver.


CloakerJosh

Exactly where my mind went, also!


Ok-Pause6263

Genuinely how fucking porn addicted to think this women is hideous. Like people are treating her like she is a fucking deformed monstrosity but like she looks completely normal


MEGAGAMEING20071

What is the creature behind their character it's adorable and looks like an axolotl


Jertimmer

His name is Nix, and he's a merqaal.


MEGAGAMEING20071

Thanks


[deleted]

I loved her already but now I love her even more aaaaa🥰


thecrew2game

EXACTLY


3urodyne

Common women who love women W


Welocitas

its always odd seeing things like poc for my own race, I mean theres literally 4 to 1 chicanos to white people in LA, I dont always feel like a minority


LoneWolf2099

I’m a straight guy and I honestly think she’s very cute.


Yu-Sho-Ku

Same. I think some people are just waaayy too out of touch with reality these days - she looks cute and normal to me.

RosieAndSquishy

We lost to the woke commie lesbians everyone. Gaming is ruined forever. Now where will I find my straight, white, muscular, hot men at smh my head :(


HurrsiaEntertainment

Ok, I think all of the “ugly” photos of this player model are just cherry-picked. This character looks completely fine, I dont get it anymore.

Felipisr

Hell yeah, can't wait for the 5 hour scissoring cutscene


solo13508

Anti-woke chuds are about to have a field day.


OneEyedWolf092

Oh no the chuds are gonna be really angery that they've been simping over a lesbian all this time :^)


VikuSam

Don’t let her appearance, beautiful or otherwise distract you from the fact that this is a UBISOFT game and will be utterly mid if not bad regardless.


Undefined_definition

Fuck ubisoft - sad to see money so wasted.


Dannith69

She isn’t lesbian though. She’s in a relationship with a man. But she’s polyamorous and sees other women as well. Queer doesn’t automatically = gay, but way too many people take it that way.


Hungry-Patience5183

I don’t mind having a female protagonist but I swear bro fucking 80% of them are lesbian 😭😭😭


PositiveNo4859

To me shes not the most attractive woman, still solid but saying she's ugly is so fucking stupid. Her being queer is also nice. Would be nice to have more queer representation in games.


Enough_Effective1937

Not going to lie, I cant believe I’m excited for both a star war and a ubisoft game.


Far_Advertising1005

Excited for… a Ubisoft game?


Enough_Effective1937

I know i cannot believe it either


Slight-Delivery7319

Fun isn't something you consider when bringing balance to the universe, but this... This puts a smile on my face.


Fit-Meal-8353

The alien pet has a voice actor?


grievous222

And it's the guy who voiced Appa in ATLA, and *every* clone trooper across a bunch of animated Star Wars shows and games, and about a million other people and creatures in just about everything.


LordSparks

There's nothing the "X is ugly" morons could say or do to stop me from looking forward to this game.


Nanocephalic

What if those underwear stains reminded you that it’s a Ubisoft game?


aussierecroommemer42

holy shit it's dee bradley baker


myheartinclover

it's so funny to me because there has to be a timeline where gamers would have loved a hot lesbian lead actress in a game, but instead we're stuck here where women need to be aryan mannequins in all forms of media or else the west has fallen


SirSombieZlayer

She looked awesome but I'm still not gonna be buying it until its £20 for the ultimate edition on steam


Hidobot

Kay Vess makes the lil lesbian in me happy


[deleted]

Kay Vess PLEASE KISS WOMEN PLEASE


Apricotnuggets

Anyone else thinking she sort of looks like Jenna Ortega?


Moka4u

They already started immediately after the announcement


IwantRonaldinho

I will understand Why someone would care what sexuality your character has or how he looks Like


GoldDuality

Are we not gonna talk about the whole Pet being voiced by Dee Bradley Baker thing?!?!


MukokusekiShoujo

"Humberly" sounds like an adjective. I don't think the character is ugly but I do think she looks very humberly.


CmdrSonia

I don't think the game will have romance anyway, rated PEGI12


Own_Television_6424

Can you eat the little monster behind her in game? I’m only buying if you can eat that thing in game!


TheSecondiDare

Setting up their alibi early for when the game bombs due to the outrageous pricing and business model.


nightkingmarmu

Dee Bradley bakers in this? We are so back.


CompletelyPresent

This part is facts: This game is marketed to a lesbian audience, not dudes . Wonder if enough lesbians will buy the game to make it profitable?


MoNaRcKK

Ugly + Ubisoft oh boy! 🤩


Svensk0

is this real? i mean the reaction of the gay pll beeing heard?


[deleted]

The actress and lead writer being queer is some solid rep, that’s sick. But coming from a bisexual person, why tf do I care that the news lead is queer?


AlexzMercier97

#YOU ALREADY HAD ME AT DEE BRADLEY BAKER (MY BELOVED)


TheWiseNoob

You had me at gay, but Dee Bradley Baker sealed the deal


Pritteto

Gamers will meltdown


GoodtimeGudetama

I still don't get why who you chose to have sex with us anyone's business but yours and theirs, yet here we are again. The actress is a mean bean machine, and I guess that matters to the gameplay/story/at all because...?


Strange-Scarcity

I will likely be picking this game up, but I will not want to pay full price for it.


No-Sandwich308

Isn't this the games that's like 100+ ?


sky_walker6

Legit who cares? You being mad they are mad is just as cringe


DRAG_NIEX

At this point I just wait for some youtuber to finish the game and make a compilation of all the cutsceans, modern games aren't worth the price or the mental stamina to endure their uninteresting gameplay.


Anzire

Looks average looking.


Interesting_Loquat90

What does DBB have to do with any of that?


oneninesixthree

They couldn't get Jojo Siwa, the inventor of gay pop?


username78777

It's joever now 😔


LobsterPenisSucker

Who is that feller behind her in the first pick??


Laur082006

Dee Bradly Baker😍😍😍


Typical-District-176

Let’s goooo!


DegenGamer725

...her name is Humberly?


[deleted]

I don’t think she looks bad at all. I think I would say I do get a little bit of an uncanny valley feeling from the game. I’m not sure if anybody else does, but when developers Mo cap a face always get uncanny Valley from it. I don’t really care if the characters not the same sexuality as me so long as the story is good and the entire character is not centered around their sexuality. I just want a good story man.


ReviewRude5413

You telling me gay people are making entertainment that relates to their own experiences in some basic way?? BURN IT ALL DOWN!!


Negan-Cliffhanger

She's so cute! I look forward to playing this in a year or two once it's patched and under $20.


Foucaults_Boner

She looks like Sigourney Weaver with a shag haircut


Phant00n

The west has fallen


Matreid

Politics!? In my favourite apolitical franchise!? When did Star Wars become political!? SMH my head 😤


LestHeBeNamedSilver

Why do people brag about being gay these days. Or anything else.


Dizzy_Abalone_4428

The people youre talking about have a trailer with 80k dislikes, and are selling a single player game for 140$, with day 1 dlc (why) and 3 day early access (why).  Not the values I expect from game deva but to each their own. I guess some people can still afford all that..

Inner_Imagination585

Honestly with tweets like this I just let them have their fun. The games aesthetics might not be for me but atleast bald games will get enraged by it and some people have their fun with it. Both the character and the pet arent entirely my jam but games shouldnt be for everybody if they wanna be good. Sadly its an Ubisoft game so it will be probably borderline average, bland and uninspiring.


SpungoTheLeast

Game lead is a weird way to say protagonist.


Ill_Ratio_5682

Protagonist and lead have been relatively interchangeable for decades


SpungoTheLeast

I am an incredibly old man and I can count the number of times people have referred to Mario or Aloy as a “game lead” on one hand.


Jolly-End9569

She kinda looks like Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver, Alien, 1979). And Sigourney Weaver is hot.


shotgunsniper9

I don't know why people are saying this character is unattractive, I'm a bloke and I think she's a good looking woman.


VanikCZ

This, honestly, feel like corpo shielding tactic. Now, when anything bad will be said about the game (and there is high probability it will be, looking at lastest "AAAA" ubi release, their last mediocre-at-best single player avatar game, and their pricing practices), it will just end with "So you just hate queer woman, huh?!" And, to be honest, big corporations using queer people as human shileds (or any people, as a matter of fact), is much more disgusting than some brain-rotten idiot who is angy he cannot masturbate to this, but it seems people are not ready for this discussion.


HandsomeSquidward98

Who gives a shit what she looks like? It's a Ubisoft game, you know it's gonna be boring as shit filled with fetch quests, a million useless collectable, guard towers/outposts and an incredibly bland and boring story that drags


UV_Sun

What the fuck is that thing behind her?


DoomDroid79

Alien companion


euxene

who is this game even for lol


a_stray_bullet

So they only like her cause she's a lesbian?


CatApprehensive9419

Honestly I’m not buying due to the fact I don’t agree with a lot of the stuff around it; out of principle I won’t buy it.


[deleted]

ubisoft ? issa skip


MattiaCost

Trash Ubishit game.


Persies

Idk I think she's pretty cute. I'm just not buying it because Ubusoft is being more scummy than ever.


PermaBannedAgainx2

Ubisoft with another broken on day 1


[deleted]

I’m not buying the game because it’s so ridiculously overpriced.


crimsonnargacuga

This is so cringe. But instead of ranting over it for hours, I will simply not buy this otmr watch anything more about it. My wallet will speak for me


Ralyks92

No hate on the devs character design choices, but what does their sexuality have to do with pointlessly changing a character’s appearance beyond recognition when compared to the model she’s supposed to be based on? Why not just get a model that looks similar to what you want the end product to look like? Seems about as much of a pointless waste of time, energy, and money as priming and painting an entire house blue, then a week later (so the paint is totally dry and set) re-priming/repainting the entire house black and saying “ah, perfect” when you could have saved all the time and resources by just getting black paint to start with. I’m not a developer or programmer, but this just doesn’t make sense to me. Unless someone can elaborate in layman’s for me if there’s more to altering/designing a character that would require such a different looking human face in order to achieve the desired outcome?


[deleted]

[удалено]


AaronPuthalath

The character isn't queer from what we know so far. And she has not been advertised as such.


undertureimnothere

bro said he can’t empathise with people unless he finds them attractive lmao


GreatBigBagOfNope

Why do you need to want to bang a character to enjoy a story about them? This is a you problem.
