Wow, that is an impressively grand assumption.


Not so much assuming as much as making a observal opinion. Ive been studying a lot of psychology and matters of the mind of late so forgive me...

If those who think she talks too much were to say that to a shrink im confident they would come to similar conclusions.

If they did, then they would be very bad at their job.

What a competent professional would do is to ask the next logical question, which is, "why do you feel that way?"  You cannot draw a conclusion without that information, you can only make a rather bad assumption.  In fact, making that assumption says more about the person making the assumption than anything else.

As far as that next logical question, there are multiple answers.  The one I've seen most has to do with people saying that they find it annoying or distracting in general, not because it's a female character doing it.  If someone said they didn't like the banter in Uncharted 4, would you assume that it's because they have issues with men?  Probably not.

I have seen someone complain about this.

Drake does nothing but talk to himself so..


Exactly what I thought. Characters talking add personality. May like or dislike the personality, but I am fine with them speaking.  Silent protagonist have to have really strong character design (ex: Link) for me to be fine with them being mute (yes, Link does shout, but never hear him speak...except in that cartoon *shudders* )

I love the character design in Horizon and cannot wait to play as her hunting mechanized dinosaurs.



I don't think she talks too much - I think she makes too many quips.

In any case, are people not seeing that this is a troll topic?



It's Aloy.



I said "might" be the reason people so calm down. Obviously the glove if not one size fits all.

Well the devs said that there won't be any tutorials in the game. So I think in fact she talks in order to help us: her talk is the tutorial.

Did anyone complain about that ...? Because I haven't found anything like this, wether it's on forums, article comments, youtube comments, etc...


Yes  It was all over the youtube video...

How does any of that relate to issues with women?

Youve just shown that it is necessary for the character to talk to provide context... It has nothing to do with gender.

But they will always relate criticism to sexism when a woman is involved, when in fact those people that always relate anything with sexism are the ones that are the true sexists.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Who said she talks to much?

I think its neat theres a strong women lead character, she actually looks muscular because her work looks hard.
(instead of looking like some supermodel)

Also shes not wearing some skimpy outfit, but stuff that looks like it would surve a funktion in the place she lives.


I say that comment repeated on the Youtube video doezens of times.
