Stop gender locking characters

[lemon key]

Let me put you on to something.
MOST of these people saying "i wanna play as a chick, i dont wanna play look at a mans butt, you are a mysoginist..." they don't really think that. They say it because the internet told them too. Same with feet, they don't for real like it, the Reddit told them it makes them weird and quirky and interesting.
First of all why do you have to sexualize video game characters to begin with?
Second just as you have a preference, I have one too. That being I do not like seeing women in high combat scenarios. First it always takes me out because it just didn't really happen. Of course you are gonna name 10 000 times it has happened. Ok cool so the score is 10 000 to 100 000 000 000.... Stop this nonsence, ask a little kid who goes to fight in the war. The daddy does. They know it. We know it. Stop.
If you ever done any kind of sport or physical activity you know how much of a difference there is between men and women. Especially in combat sports it's not even funny. Take an untrained, out of shape man and in about 3 months he can SMASH any girl at that gym. Guaranteed. Now we have battlefields of "fierce" warriors flipping guys 80kgs heavier than them over their heads like nothing. Its just not possible.


I am not saying don't put females in the game. I'm saying ALWAYS give us both.
I know I'm talking ♥♥♥♥ nobody really cares about but I really used to love this game. First game ever I bought on release day. And to see it go down this obviously wrong path for years and years is.... hearthbreaking..

I'm not saying they don't exist. I am saing I'm seriously questioning their commitment. There were barelly any, suddenly every 17 year old loves feet? Really? REALLY?! Look me in the eyes and tell me feet get you hard. Are you sure thats what you actually like or were you convinced by the internet that you like it because you want all those haha feet memes to be about you?

Minus the political whatever talking points, which ignores FH's own gender and fantasy history and elements. I have to agree, they have to know not everyone wants to play gender locked.

You mean the thing that's been criticized since the games announcement and they tripled down on it? Should I have not mentioned it? I guess if you forget human anatomy it works....

Since the launch, players were complaining about how female warriors in For Honor were unrealistic. Not because they were there, it does make sense in real history to have female vikings and samurai warriors. It wasn't common but it did happen. enough for it to be actually recorded by contemporaries. There are 0 chances a female would be given ANY kind of millitary possition in European culture but whatever, they wanna have females for each playable nation, I get it.
Problem is they didn't depict them in a believeable way. The reason Onna-bugeisha used Naginata is because a polearm somewhat makes up for the lack of upper body strenght. Devs just said "♥♥♥♥ it" and they have every female flipping guys in full plate like of course they can. It was managable with the original roster but as time went they added more and more STUPID ♥♥♥♥. Horrible effects on everything (thank GOD you can turn those off the game is hideous with them), cringe executions, weird costumes and every new character being a gender locked female "girl boss".

Okay thank you i get it, a intelligent coherent adult response. Yes this game has always been a problem child, i just wish they worked more on the story mode and made special events re-playable for non pvp'ers.

for honor devs be like "conq needs a roll catcher? we got too many quiters? sohei is barely playable? Players keep leaving this game for another? Pirate is busted? Lets add another lesbian to the game that is just pirate with 2 swords!!!!!!!"

They went the way of R6 style of updates. Instead of building on top of everything and using the community as guideline for balance (srsly some ppl have such deep knowledge of the game and it's mechanics...thez have been suggesting changes for ages, making videos...), just release a new character as soon as you got the idea for it. Because the average "gamer" doesnt recognise mechanics and gameplay changes as the game getting updated. Unless you get a new flashy main menu screen and a new action toy to play with once every 3 months it's a "dead game, no updates".

They could do like Dota 2 does. They release a new patch with a ton of changes, new cosmetics, maybe characters and things to make the game feel new. That game has over 100 characters by the way, and it manages to bring players back.

For Honor devs add 2 damage to a character barely anyone plays in one of the 3 slides for their "patch notes" and add some obnoxious new character with yet another visually polluted design. It's like they're trying to eat soup with a fork. At this point I'm pretty sure they're making the game just for their lil homies at the studio

Yes please, this and a bowl of soup. I haven't played Dota2 in a while but you are right. Map changes, new items, meaningful hero changes, Turbo... It's a totally different game then what it was back in 2013 when I first played. And even after so many years they didn't even add that many new characters.
If I was a betting man, I'd bet it's more UBI's doing. They WOULD make significant changes. I find it hard to believe that they would this this kind of thing since they worked super hard and cared so much. Watch the movie if you doubt it. Their update model is EXACTLY the same as with every other UBI title. More season passes, more splash screens, more characters, more customization, more fluff....

This feels like a giant "who gives a ♥♥♥♥" moment.

If you genuinely lose enjoyment from playing a video game about sword fighting because of your character model and voice of that character, then you're just weird. Full stop.

yeah who gives a ♥♥♥♥. Never voice your opinion. Never say you don't like something or you think there's a better way to do things. Always compromise. Buy product. Buy video games. Play the lastest video game. Consume and don't complain. Your life sucks, escape to video games without questioning anything. Aesthetics? Who cares did you see how realistic our trees look?
By the way look under the release trailer on any video platform, facebook, youtube instagram.... its not just me bubba. And it's not just this time.
