So bitching about it being a woman is kind of stupid then. I'm not saying a strong woman being the focal point of a post apocalyptic show is better than a man, but to get mad over it following something that is actually source is pretty stupid. Someone needs to make fun of the game for that if that's what they want to cry about.


Basically, yes.

Not to mention I don't get "girl boss" vibes from the trailer - I get a "fish out of water" vibe. The most "bad arse" thing she does in the trailer, other than showing bravery to go out into an apocalyptic wasteland, is stomping a rad roach - the thing you literally kill at the beginning of Fallouts 3 and 4 to learn how to play the game.

Well this is just wrong. There is an extremely large segment of game players that always picks females when given the option because they don't want to look at male backsides all game (I have quite a few friends that are that way).

Now I generally play male first and then play a female lead later in games like Fallout and Mass Effect, but to act like a large segment of the game playing public doesn't prefer female characters is just patently false.

If the game is in 3rd person, I play female; if first person, I play male.

That being said, if some of the guys here want to stare at a dude's arse for hours on end, I won't judge.

Yeah, you're totally right, I definitely didn't install CBBE and play as a female as my first character...

Legitimate non-access media people are raving about how close it is to the games in detail, tone, and humor.

I've played Fallout more than any other game so this has me pumped.

For the first time in a few years I feel we may get an IP that's not beating us over the head with agenda.

93% RT score so far. This seems promising.

Trust your eyes and your own opinion, not RT

Ms. Marvel has a score of 98% and nobody but critics watched that nonsense.

Stranger Things S4, which was a cultural moment that literally bogged down Netflix's servers with how many people were watching it, has a worse score.
