I like how the cyberpunk thread waited until the mods were asleep to go back to smug metaposting about how bad the thread is, mere hours after a mod said explicitly to cut it out

People who continually insist that they're above having an emotional reaction to video games bind up their entire existence into the perceived success or failure of a video game, thereby making themselves the easiest people in the world to make fun of.

Sharing this post from the CP77 thread cause it says my thoughts as a trans woman on the game's trans representation in better words than I could use

Endorph posted:

1) If it's the gritty sci-fi future, wouldn't anyone have any voice they wanted and have it be completely disconnected from their conception of gender? why would a magical future where anyone can have a massive hog suddenly be gender essentialist about a person's voice? Like, shouldn't there be women going around sounding like darth vader and poo poo? It's just another 'mod,' a way of making yourself distinct, which seems like something the society in the setting is all for.

2) The concept of voice equalling your gender is an old transphobic trope. Obviously just hearing a man's voice, without any other context and going 'oh, that's a man' isn't transphobic, it's just the result of socialization, but think of the trope of a sexy lady but... oh no! they're a tranny! and then they have the gravelly voice of a guy who smokes, or something. And it's still something that's used to discriminate against trans people today. Recently there was a big blowup where some female streamer had a 'women only' channel in their discord, and the method to 'prove' you were a woman was voice chat. Specifically as a way to weed out transwomen.

3) In real life, most trans people have to train their voices incredibly hard to 'pass' vocally, and there's people who just can't manage it. Even if it makes sense in universe, Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that exists in real life. It's reasonable those people would want to play a character who matches their experiences. And again, see point 1.

4) It kind of betrays how shoddily implemented the trans stuff is. The actual reason for this 'choice' is they didn't want to have to rewrite dialogue where the male/female voice protag refers to themselves as male/female. This is pretty solidly proven by the fact that you can get dialogue referencing your dick/pussy even if you don't have one, and the fact that sex scenes are animated based on your gender, not your genitals. (Which is another instance where some kind of choice would be fairly easy to implement and improve the ability to roleplay a lot.)

I'm not saying the game is a monolithic tribute to transphobia just that it's kinda lame and lazy, and betrays a misunderstanding of the issue. I don't think that's an unreasonable criticism.

How does it compare to Ace Combat 7, if you've played it? I saw Project Wingman appear on Steam and it looked good, but I haven't heard anything about it, so I'm not sure what to think of it. It does look interesting though

Project Wingman is every bit as good as AC7, except that the subtitles need another editing pass. It's seriously great.

Yeah, and I think he had to pay Kurt a hefty sum of money too. I feel like that would be precedent for “this person knows I have epilepsy and sent me a video with the intent of causing me to have a seizure” cases.

Everything I have heard or seen about Cyberpunk 2077 in the last couple days has made me want to play it less. It sounds like a perfectly average open-worlder with some awful elements that are being vehemently defended by awful people. I just don't want anything to do with it at all.

Right. What I probably should have elaborated on is that it will populate those lists for each character even when you see scenes in other character's routes, and thus you can see what the "linear" timeline for each person ostensibly looks like.

CDPR: "We've got this headset in our game and we're gonna model it on a real medical device."

Oh cool, that sounds neat. What's it do?

CDPR: "The real medical device? Triggers epileptic seizures intentionally for diagnostic purposes."

Wow. What's it do in-game?

CDPR: "Oh, same thing. Just turns your whole screen into a seizure machine."

So, uh, there's gonna be a warning or something, right? Maybe an option to skip it?

CDPR: "What? Haha, no."

same kind of thing happened with RDR2 now that i think about it, but at least that game let me go on some lovely nature hikes
