spider-man 2 thread

it's a bold move in an industry the big players of which tend to shy away from any sort of potentially divisive messaging

Counterpoint:
These are the antagonists of a AAA game made by one of the largest video game developers & publishers in the world, in an industry where the average customer for such a product is overwhelmingly white, male, and American and/or of European heritage

Financial Post( AKA National Post), is considered a conservative Canadian outlet btw.

[agentorange]

Sounds gay.

[gerey]

That's very nice, very nice indeed. Let's see the Middle-Eastern version of the game.



Is someone going to fan-translate this version to English?

The Amazing(ly faggy) Spider-Man!

Financial Post( AKA National Post), is considered a conservative Canadian outlet btw.

It's more of a center publication. Everyone knows for true conservative news you read True North.

We drift leftwards. Things once considered very socially liberal or 'woke' (remember the term SJW?) become the new baseline of values. Most people don't even notice or if they do they think it's a positive change.
Your protagonist becomes black.
Your female love interest becomes ugly and masculine, she can save herself.
Your NPCs become more diverse than even the streets of London.
You still buy the game.

[Acrux]

You still buy the game.

That's where you're wrong, kid.

[Tweed]

You still buy the game.

Maybe you do, I sure as **** don't.

[Oyster Sauce]

Black Spider-Man eventually gets a costume where his dreadlocks poke out of the top of his mask no really

[Jason Bright]

You still buy the game.

Maybe you do, I sure as **** don't.

I'm talking about the average consumer. They'll buy a Spider-man game even if it has wall-to-wall woke messaging.

[GhostCow]

I will definitely pirate it and mod out as much poz as possible.

They've started to push the pronoun nonsense on other languages now

https://boards.4channel.org/v/thread/654586536 (archive: https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/654586536 )

for context:
the "he/him" "she/her" - thing only works in English.In other languages, you're modifying syntax that makes it unreadable and confusing.
Example: Computador(a) is female regardless of how many feelings are hurt.
Computador(e) doesnt exist.
doctor in the OP should just be “doctor”, doctor(e) doesnt exist

Face it, tiger... you just hit the jackpot!

Aside from the psychobitchface, and looking ten years older than Peter, she isn't ugly. Its just I'd expect a lean, young superhero in his prime to have a rootin tootin cowgirl gf from the country, with huge tracts of land, and cooking biscuits and gravy and bacon and eggs every morning.

[J1M]

She's supposed to be a high end NYC model with RED hair.

There's no reason for a villain to kidnap anyone looking that plain. Her hotness is directly tied to how plausible the story is. Furthermore, if she isn't literal fire then the temptation and ultimate decision to choose her as a romantic partner over Black Cat has no tension.

[GhostCow]

Now I'm starting to get BG3 vibes and second guessing if I'm going to pirate. Such a shame because I really liked the last two games a lot despite having to overlook a lot of poz. It sounds like this is going to go way past the threshold of **** that I can ignore. The last two games were already right on the edge.

[Goth-Girl-Supremacy]

Everything after Maximum Carnage sucked.

[gerey]

she isn't ugly

She's ugly. I mean, she's not so repulsive that you might mistake her for a goblin, but she looks well below average. You can see more attractive women just by walking down the street. And remember, she's supposed to be a supermodel that turns heads just by taking a stroll in the park.

Same with Black Cat, who also has a prominent manjaw.

We only need to go back less than 10 years ago to see that developers were perfectly capable of designing highly attractive female characters with ease.

Also, the pursuit of photorealistic graphics, and photorealistic character faces, has been a disaster for the gaming industry.

[maidenhaver]

I don't think you know what average means.

[GhostCow]

I don't think you know what average means.

You're confused because you are American and he isn't.

[maidenhaver]

I work in hawaii and california, the average here is going to be higher than whatever shithole he's from.

[maidenhaver]

I even said aside from the face, and you ******* are all talking about her face lol

[Oyster Sauce]

I even said aside from the face, and you ******* are all talking about her face lol

Something you want to tell us?

[maidenhaver]

That I don't play these capeshitty games, so I couldn't see from the side she didn't have hips, you absolute ****.

[gerey]

so I couldn't see from the side she didn't have hips

Because the lack of hips is clearly the only issue with the picture above.
