Some people just don't like it, me being one. When I play a Mario game, I want to play as Mario. When I play a Metal Gear Solid game, I want either Snake, or some sort of clone of Snake (I was one of the angry people on the internet way back when after Kojima did the infamous bait and switch with MGS2). When I play Sly Cooper, I was to play as Sly Cooper etc. |
This is a bizarre motive to not buy something.
I couldn't care less if a game has a different protagonist if it's a good, and everything seems to indicate Ghost of Yotei is a good game.

I loved Resident Evil 1-CV, and half the time I was playing as a woman. I liked Heavenly Sword. I have no issues with Tomb Raider. But when it comes to this game, this is a complete switch. And honestly, given the company and who they got to voice the protagonist, it sort of smells a little bit forced... like it's a holder over from the woke-era. Could be wrong about that, but yeah. Really... really smells like it. And if that's the case, it could be a man, woman, gay, straight, trans, alien... I'm not going to buy it. I don't want identity politics in my games. Politics, okay. Not identity politics. I've been bludgeoned over the head for the last decade with that. I'm burned out. |
What identity politics? What are you talking about?
She's just an asian actress that auditioned for a role and got it. Or is the protagonist of the game a member of the LGBTQIA+ community like her?
Sucker Punch wanted to do a game with a different protagonist because like I said, Jin's story was over in first game.
