Holepunchio posted:I think a lot of you are missing the point. I believe its already established that yes, the player character does things to make you feel uncomfortable and no, you don't like hurting people. You might like the rush and the fun and the powertrip at times but the extreme violence is meant to be offputting. Making your character a rapist is certainly one way of making them offputting. I agree, I think Hotline Miami would be really interesting if there was a fem-jacket running around, and I kind of have this weird reading that the stuff like the director telling the actress "to be more helpless or girly," might hint to something like that possibly being the case. Maybe wishful thinking.

StevenM posted:I have to second the wishful thinking, but I also second the suggestion of a playable female and just some diversity in the enemies. Putting men and women on the same level of hunter and fodder rather than, I dunno, having an entire gender represented as "damsel in distress", or "strong independent woman who don't need no man", or something else cringeworthy. Definitely. In my ideal, I'm imagining the same jacket we all know and love but just female. The ripley treatment basically. I really like the saints row games because they basically just take this approach, and it works really well. Fem boss (especially in saints row 2) had this really cool edge to her that didn't come off liked forced "feminism is over!" bullshit mostly because the script is written pretty much the same throughout all voices. The voice acting definitely helped as well. Of course, I don't believe that this is the end all be all solution to a problem like this for women in games/media in general, but for this game, where the whole point seems to be poking at male power fantasy, I would say it would be an interesting statement if it forced you to play as a women. It would at least be a step up from the girlfriend and token russian chick in my opinion. ^^^both of the janitors were based off of the two developers, who are both male.

Eaten by Tigers posted:Hotline Theme, or whatever the song that plays on Stronghold is called, is hands down the chillest music to murder people to in the series. Yeah thats the hotline theme by benny smiles. I play that a ton while driving at dusk. The way home by magic sword is also chill. Incidentally, that's the music for the next soldier mission.
