Nobody actually thinks this game is woke, they're just arguing for attention

[SunfireKnight86]

Taking out weird weeb jokes isn't woke according to anybody. Literally anybody. This is just people who know they can get attention by pretending there's any actual issue and if we engage that sort of thing we just perpetuate it. Ignore them and move on, they've leave when they stop getting attention.

The game is great how it is. Better than the original in every way. Take the W and don't feed the trolls.

It's a good game, but there's definitely some added wokeness. Not a whole lot, but it's there. And yes, the game does deserve to be criticized for it. Maybe you're so shallow that you're unable to criticize anything you like, but I'm not. I harshly criticize even the games I love when there's something that deserves criticism.

Can you name a few?

Star Wars if you can't see Mary Sue in Rey and a whole degeneracy of sequels there they promote garbage like force is female I wouldn't even want to argue you're hopeless.
Mass Effect. All of men characters except Alex and Drex are weak to the point they're person in distress or if a man is strong enough to be able to care about himself he's gay, turian pathfinder as an example.
Halo since 343 take a lead. Imagine hardened veteran which humanity place in charge of most technologically advanced ship through a tantrum on a well known hero of humanity without a reasoning with him. Oh, and don't forget that Spartans II would wipe the floor with Spartans IV, but somehow Locke is able to fight back. People are even jokes about and it's popular amongst community.
Horizon Zero Down same as Mass Effect
Over a half of operators in R6 Siege are females. I bet you can't find 1 in Navy Seals. But somehow we had female version of Nathan Drake, robber, Aquaman and mentally unstable people protecting worlds against all threats.
Should I continue?

Yes please.

I'm not sure how this game is even considered a woke. If you want a good example of game gone woke, take a look at Street Fighter 6.

This game isn't "woke" at all. People complaining about digital panties getting taken out are just mad to be mad. They got their own thing going on. Can get them all in this thread and just mass ignore them. ezpzz no scope

[Sunsetter]

Nobody thinks that nobody considers this game woke, they're just fishing for steam points.

[SunfireKnight86]

They'll leave until Assignment Ada comes out, come back for a week, then leave again.

Everyone here complaining about wokeness have more hours than the ones saying this game is perfect i think we know who the real trolls here are purposely trying to make the series worse by praising their mistakes.

Don't follow Star Wars, cannot judge. Never liked it much. But from what I've read, my understanding was that the whole point of Rey's character was to undermine the Mary Sue trope. In any case, Mary Sue has little to do with wokeness but just bad writing.

Mass Effect. All of men characters except Alex and Drex are weak to the point they're person in distress or if a man is strong enough to be able to care about himself he's gay, turian pathfinder as an example.

Uhm ... what?^^ Also, it seems you and I have a rather different view on what "a franchise being ruined" means. Andromeda was a stinker, but it's just one game and none of its issues had anything to do with wokeness anyways. Doesn't ruin the whole of Mass Effect.

Halo

Same as Star Wars, I have no idea about it. Only played the remastered trilogy or whatever it was called and thought it was incredibly boring. (No offense, people just like different stuff.)

Horizon Zero Down same as Mass Effect

Horizon Zero Dawn? Really? How is that franchise ruined? I didn't like the story of the second game, but other than that, it's not much different from the first one. How is the sequel more "woke" than the first game?

Over a half of operators in R6 Siege are females. I bet you can't find 1 in Navy Seals. But somehow we had female version of Nathan Drake, robber, Aquaman and mentally unstable people protecting worlds against all threats. Should I continue?

I'd argue that mentally unstable people often make for interesting stories, but I'm not sure what you actually mean by mentally unstable. Like ... Batman? And, wait ... is your definition of "ruined" having female characters with a minimum of agency and competence? Or containing "woke" content? Because my version of a franchise being ruined is having had nothing but bad games coming out for a while. (If we stick to games, same about movies, books etc., of course.)

"Female version of Nathan Drake"? Are you referring to that one spin-off game you play as Chloe in? For a series they already announced as not getting continued further? How does that - by the way pretty awesome - game ruin the franchise? And you do know Nathan Drake is generally considered a male Lara-Croft-rip-off, right ...?

"They are just arguing for attention" is what at least half of the complaint threads on this board can be summed up as.

Leftists being intolerant, name a better duo

woke this woke that
i feel like i'm back in 2015 when gamergate was all the rage, this is a japanese game by a japanese developer, why would there will be woke american stuff in it? they don't cater to the "progressive" crowd on twitter/reddit/etc. like western devs do. internet outrage people need to go outside and take a breather from the internet for a bit.

Games that are really "woke" is something that EA, modern Ubisoft or western Sony studios would do in current era, take a look at TLOU2 and their flat masculine woman character designs, horrible dialogues in games like Far Cry 6 or ME Andromeda. RE4R has none of that, people complaining about wokeness in a Resident Evil are either trolling or just delusional.

[Veylox]

Wait till you realize you're not playing the japanese version of the game but the localized one

[Volo]

I havent played the original but I dont see whats woke about this game?
Wokeness in games/movies usually means (black)washing, making all (white) male characters look bad while females are great, lgbt characters for no reason other than their orientation etc...probably forgot other examples.

Havent encountered anything like that here so far.

[SunfireKnight86]

They don't even know what woke means, dude.

[Jnc]

I do think it's woke but i like it for its wokeness.

[FruitBat Man]

"Woke" is so watered down it now means non traditional. Aka men who arent rambo, women who arent weak, minorities existing without it being a huge plot point.

It's silly. They really arent worth arguing with.
