They're massive SJW and they want SJW points. Does this really need an article? Anyone could have guessed why.
>>342723453
They're always going to be colossal faggots, Anon. There's no way to get rid of them, short of killing everyone who thinks like them.
I haven't enjoyed big time a Bioware game since the first Mass Effect. Even the often praised Dragon Age Origins felt very cliche to me, as the orc/elf/dwarf stale as shit template with a shitty "x is racist" twist. I skipped all other Dragon Age games
>>342723453
You mean they did it because Male Shep was the default for the first trilogy so why not change it up?
But let me guess, they actually did it for sjw brownie points instead.
>>342723453
>why bioware led with femryder in their trailer
Because they need to virtue signal to their fellow cult members.
There, explained.
If any biocucks are reading this, at least if you're advertising with a woman, make her pretty, like you would make your male hero handsome.
It help with sales . . .oh i'm just kidding, i know you're not interested in profits, you just want to push your agenda of mediocrity acceptance.
>Ryder
What
>>342723453
If you actually read what was said, there's no SJW angle at all.
The Bioware guy just says that they were trying to copy movie trailers with Mass Effect, and those need a "lead", but with Andromeda, everybody already knows the protag is fully customisable.
no discernible talent
>>342725378
That's what new is protag is called
Why does she look like Anita Sarkeesian?
>>342723453
I always wanted to be a fugly, greasy woman wearing shitloads of eye makeup.
>>342725612
Good thing you can make him/her look like whatever you want then.
... then name them Dick Ryder.
it always pissed me off in Mass Effect that Shepard was supposed to be a real character and not just a player vessel
they can try to say the female is default all they want.
it's not going to be when like 80% of the people who buy it play as a man and they wind up changing all of the advertising for future games to reflect that.
either way, one would expect them to have reversible covers since they did that for the last game.
gaming (((journalism))) you say?
>>342725793
>either way, one would expect them to have reversible covers since they did that for the last game.
Nope. They've already said they'll go the Inquisition route, where it's a back view / silhouette type deal where you can't tell either way.
>>342725782
You're pissed that he was a real character or a self insert?
>>342725270
>You mean they did it because Male Shep was the default for the first trilogy so why not change it up?
That would have been great
The second option is more likely though.
Either way, anybody sticking with the series after 3, or Bioware as a whole since Inquisition, is beyond help.
>>342725543
because bioware nowadays is only full of sjw and feminists
>>342725738

Nobody seemed to like it but that has never stopped a game from selling well in the past
>>342726036
I'm just saying cos somebody brought it up, champ. No need to get all uppity.
>>342726129
it flopped like battleborn. mass effect will be next.
>>342725948
I'm annoyed that they tried to do both.
Either have me pilot an established character or let me create my own character. Don't try and force me to roleplay as Space Chad Thundercock or Stacey Finepussy
>>342726170
source?
>>342726275
To be honest I like this approach more. I don't like full-fletched characters like in the Witcher or blank slates like in the Elder Scrolls. I prefer the character to have some kind of personality and me being able to sway it one way or another.
>>342725952
I fucking loathe this poo in loo so goddamn much.
Every time someone posts that image of him holding that 'White tears' cup I get pissed off. And I'm not even white.
>>342723453
yeah journalism been dead for years
and you are beating a dead horse and giving them the attention they want
>>342726170
>mfw SJWs are incapable of making a profitable product due to their agenda coming before quality
This is why they want communism.
>>342726565
Witcher does that perfectly well
Mass Effect does it poorly, they only decided to make Shepard an actual character in 2 and 3.
Life is Strange does the same thing, they assume all these things about a character and it's super awkward when you don't care/agree with them but you're supposed to be cause it's supposed to be YOUR choices.
Like, ask me if I want blueberry pie or strawberry pie but in actuality I don't care about pie regardless of flavor.
>>342725950
I loved ME 2 and 3, endings and all.
But the things I've been seeing in regards to the inner workings of Bioware and the employees within, makes me want to avoid Andromeda like the plague.
>>342725952
This is so fucking stupid.
Yes, SJW cucks who actively avoid sexy games are more likely to gobble up bullshit sexual harrassment claims without question.
>>342723453
All journalism is shit, but you wouldn't know since all you know are video games
Don't care, Bioware died after EA acquired them. Mass Effect 1 was their last good game.
Based on that headline, I really don't see the problem here from a """"journalistic"""" angle. Can someone explain?
What kind of stupid ass fucking new age trailer trash burgerclap name is Ryder
>>342727404

>>342723453
Didn't a bunch of people throughout the original series, /v/ included, think FemShep was best Shep?
Why do people act like it's headline news when people like female characters?
>>342728708
I'd agree if half of the game wasn't a Counselor Troi simulator
>>342728269
Proper journalists report objective news. Videogame journalists report sensationalist clickbait news to help spread their far leftist agenda.
>>342729406
Not that I care about the gender of the protagonist at all, but femshep fucking sucked. I've never heard a faker voice in my life. She sounded like a woman putting on the deepest voice she could, not like an actual person.

>>342728269
>"""journalist""" angle
because the way there approaching it is to highlight the woman character was used to show off the game. Make no mistake, it's not that they are just reporting it, they are praising it, these people don't care about games, they care only about how ideas of the minority are now in the game, they view it as a victory of tolerance
>>342729414
>Not wanting to be Counselor Troi in charge
>>342726783
Trump being made the villain of Mafia 3 really makes me hope that all the other big budget progressive garbage in development right now follow suit. I'd give my left nut for The Illusive Man's mantle to be taken by The Unstumpable Man.

>All characters need to pander to me!
>>342725952
God fucking damn it. I've read that study and the instrumentation is all kinds of fucked up.
Look, I'm a social scientist. I study video games, and this fucking bad science needs to fucking stop. Right now I'm working on some research that I believe will indicate that sexualized female characters only negatively affects game-related self efficacy in women when the sexualization is out of context. For example, women who play Second Life intentionally pick super slutty costumes because it's a social "game" where-as, in a study that found (and was also poorly conducted in terms of instrumentation) women who played a sexualizaed version of Lara Croft in Tomb raider had lower general self efficacy, the context of the game (platforming in a dress) was incongruous. In context, sexualized armor should mean nothing.
tl;dr Fuck bad science
You can create a male character so what is the problem

In regard to voice acting, yes. Mark Meer's directed monotone delivery was looked down upon in comparison to Hale's husky, forced whisper. Both were shit but some people preferred having a FemShep specifically because she at least had inflection in her voice.
>>342731609
The problem is /v/ needs to get triggered by at least 5 things every hour, and Bioware deciding to put a woman version of their main character at the forefront of their new game is one of those.
>>342731454
Not really, m8. I never really cared about characters being attractive or not.

It's actually worth reading the study, because of how silly it is:
https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Karen_Dill-Shackleford/publication/222403956_Effects_of_Exposure_to_Sex-Stereotyped_Video_Game_Characters_on_Tolerance_of_Sexual_Harassment/links/0fcfd505b5811c8ff1000000.pdf
So basically, they broke psych undergrads into study and control groups. The study group was shown images from standard vidya scapegoats (GTA, Gears of War) while the control group was shown pictures of congresscreatures. Misogyny was rated on how harshly they judged the professor in this vignette (edited for comment length):
>I was a senior, majoring in English. Harold Bloom was one of Yale’s most illustrious professors....
>I had audited a famous course he taught, and he had reached out to me then and invited me to talk with him. Since he was so intellectually selective, I was "sick with excitement" at the prospect...
>[she met with him a few times]
>Finally, Bloom suggested that he come to the house I shared with [roommates]. At dinnertime. I agreed. The four of us ate a meal. He had brought a bottle of Amontillado, which he drank continually. I also drank. We had set out candles—a grown-up occasion. The others eventually left and I thought we could discuss my poetry manuscript. I set it between us. He did not open it. He did not look at it. He leaned toward me and put his face inches from mine. "You have the aura of election upon you," he breathed.
>I hoped he was talking about my poetry. The next thing I knew, his heavy, boneless hand was hot on my thigh.
>I lurched away. "This is not what I meant," I stammered. The whole thing had suddenly taken on the quality of a bad horror film. [she overreacts] He moved toward me. I turned away from him toward the sink and found myself vomiting. Bloom disappeared.
>When he reemerged a moment later, I was still frozen. He said: "You are a deeply troubled girl." [he left]

>>342733082
In order of harshness of judgement, it went: women shown vidya images, women shown congresscreatures, men shown congresscreatures, men shown vidya images. That is, men who were primed with GTA were more sympathetic to the professor in the story, and women who were primed with GTA were more sympathetic to the undergrad in the story.
To me this suggests that people who were primed with exciting imagery were more inclined to "take on the role" of "their character" in the story. The men in this group probably basically thought, the professor didn't have any actual power over her, he made one pass, got turned down, and the girl freaked the fuck out. Rather than viewing this pretty ambiguous situation in a clinical, "how would university administration feel about this," they probably looked at it more of, "what would it be like to be one of these characters?" The fact that the study authors are totally unsympathetic to the character of the professor really just shows their own bizarre bias.
(2/2)
>>342733313
And yes, that's the other side. Looking at pictures of congresscreatures may have just put them in a sort of detached mood that made them look at the story as it's obviously supposed to be read. Obviously the study authors wanted to come to a conclusion, and they seriously railroad their methodology. Which is why it's important to read these studies and imagine what's going on from the authors' perspective, but also from the participants' perspectives. Think about, what would it be like if I were one of these subjects? and then the results will be a lot less surprising.

I copied and pasted the vignette from the paper (though as I said, I trimmed it a bit to fit in the comment length, you can find the whole thing in the paper). When I read it I subbed in what he probably actually said, "You have the aura of elation upon you," and laughed and laughed because of how fucking corny that is.
Maybe the authors were primed by looking at congresscreatures and that's why they put "aura of election."

who gives a shit

This fucking sucks, why are all the Anglo countries getting fucked

Never said you should :-)

Games=sexism is (scientifically) dead. The only type of study that matters is longitudinal, which is where you track a large number of people over several years and periodically interview them. That study came out last year, titled "Sexist games=sexist gamers? A longitudinal study on the relationship between video game use and sexist attitudes." Their chief finding:
>Controlling for age and education, it was found that sexist attitudes--measured with a brief scale assessing beliefs about gender roles in society--were not related to the amount of daily video game use or preference for specific genres for both female and male players.

Holy shit

As crazy as it is, that was the HIGH point for cracked.com. It's only gone downhill from there.

i'm a woman and i wouldn't play a game where my character's unattractive. it serves as escapism for me, as it does for many people. i don't want to escape into a fantasy that's not really a fantasy because my avatar is reflection of my land whale self.
thanks.

Everyone is always getting fucked by politics. Which countries are doing better than Anglo countries in your opinion?
>>342729406
Most people agreed that, for the first two games, that Femshep had the better voice actor. This gave credence to the thought that "Femshep" was the correct way to play the game; Coupled with the burgeoning Tumblr-spaces, this got enough of a following to become a rather large issue around ME3 (which is why we got reversible covers of the game with ManShep and FemShep).
>>342735561
Who are you quoting?
>>342735529
Hell, I grew up in time of mascot platformers which wasn't representative in the least bit. No one complained then.
>>342735789
I don't care much about other countries' politics but you're right.

I see Bioware is still filled with racists and bigots. Sad!

Isn't their job to make us happy and want to play a game though?
>>342735975
I really feel like that's the only way to beat those retards. Whenever they come up with another progressive idea for their trailers just tell them it's not progressive enough and that they just chicken out because they hate trans people. Those fucks will just start to eat each other over whoever can collect more PC-points.
Wait so did they fucking remove character creation? Are stuck as a gal?

To their market, not to you
>>342736052
Their job is actually to sell games. We may just be a little behind the times in thinking that "making fun, quality games" is how that is best achieved, because no one does it anymore and the industry is bigger than ever.

>Darth Vader, a white guy, got voiced by a black actor
No one cried back then. No one has to cry now either.
That's like complaining that a lot of grown up women voice young boys in Anime or Pixar animations.
Hell, as far as I know Goku is still voiced by a woman in the japanese dub.
>>342735901
yeah so did i, what's your point?
i'm now given the option to play fashionably sexy femme fatales, which now contributes to the quality of my gaming experience.
but hey you know i'd be more on board if capeshit heroes suddenly became overweight pansexual genderfluid grognards.
>>342735719
Jesus Christ, that desperation. It's so over the top I can't believe it's real. But it is.

>>342736315
My point is no one seemed to need representation at all and didn't seem to be an issue til somewhat recently.
>>342734985
>One of the reasons i bought overwatch was the pretty ladies.
So you'd buy a shit game because it has "pretty" (arguable) female characters?
What a fucking pathetic cuck you are. Biofans are not that much better for buying a shit game because the female character looks different (uglier).
If you want to jerk off, just play a Nukigo. FPS is already a shitty genre and adding Overwatch into the mix is bad.
When is Gawker closing down again?
I really hope none of these fuckers can find a job in "journalism" anymore.
The job's reputation is damaged beyond repair even without them.

Row Row fight the powah diversity crowd. The story is your run of the mill rebellious "fight the system" schlock.
What made ME1 amazing was the fact that it felt like a Sonic game translated into first person. You had small self-contained levels with obstacles that sometimes offered a diversity of paths to overcome. You could either try to finish it in a cool, stylish way or do it in the fastest way possible mastering all the mechanics. ME2 is another "open"-world tower-unlocker. Completely uninspired with no focus on what made the original great.
I fucking hate modern gaming.

No to mention he's very much anti-Snowden and doesn't mind the NSA snooping on the citizens at all.
Heck, he took a shit on Apple for refusing to help the FBI break their phone security.
It's ridiculous how much support he's getting in this board and others.
>>342723453
I mean, FemShep was always better than ManShep, sooooo
>>342736812
They've already been bought by IGN.

No one bitched about that either so why is is people flip their shit when a black character (Uncharted/AssCreed) is voice by a while person.

What does Felicia Day really do? I've seen people defend her to death but all of her work is just novelty geekgirl shit and mediocre acting/writing
>>342735242
Bullshit. There is no correlation (or causation for that matter) with violent video games and violent behavior.
If anything, it's more believable that there's a correlation with sex in media and human behavior considering how intrinsically sex is part of humans (see how high it ranks in Marlowe's pyramid).

clickbait. Don't give them attention. It's the same with tripfags. On some of the more civilized /vg/ generals you'll never see a single tripfag because they all left when no one ever replied to their posts.

Bioware is Canadian. Were you unaware of this?

>>342735013
Games aren't sexist to begin with. But if they were, it could promote sexism. Not to say that sexist games shouldn't be allowed, conisdering that you'd be legislating against ideology which is a throughcrime.
Games leading to murder is nonsensical. It takes more than expression or thought to lead to a behavior. And violent games aren't necessarily targeted at any group anyway, so it can hardly be argued that violent games are ideological.
