Yet it was 113 modern audience playing it right now.
same, it keeps putting Marathon above Crimson Desert and Resident Evil Requiem for me.

"Oh cool, so you liked Stellar Blade?"

If only they had made Eve and Tachy a couple with a hot shower lesbian scene ...Then we all could come together (no pun intended) and support this game.
 
What stupid take is this? Being a lesbian isn't a race. Just like being gay or other labels. A hot, ugly, healthy, ill, rich, poor can be those. Don't let social media influence you. Those people that are loud, are the minority, not the regular people.

As for fantasy, anyone can be the hero or the main focus. There is no criteria to it. It all depends on who is narrating it. The best Jesus interpretation in film industry is made by a an atheist.

The issue with those topic, is that you are removing personalities, which is why you end up with bland interpretation. The person in the story need to be relatable. Being a lesbian doesn't mean you don't struggle with daily lives. These small moments make us relate to the character in some way or another.

p.s I worked with lesbians. Both hot and meh ones.
Dafuq you smoking lad ...

You make the assumption that lesbians are "hot", as if they all come from Themyscira.

"Lesbians are hot" is upstream from everything woke in gaming. It lives right next door to "maybe I'm supposed to be a girl".
 


1348 Ex Voto reviewed by Jarrett Green on PC.

1348 Ex Voto is sick with its own pestilence. Every attempt it makes to upend the status quo for stories like this either goes criminally unexplored, is undercommitted to, or was never really deep to begin with. The rigid mission structure makes poor use of the beautiful areas throughout, giving you space to explore but nothing all that interesting to do otherwise. And every few minutes, you'll have to plod through soupy, boring combat that never changes no matter how many options to modify small parts of it exist. The best parts of this package – a great setting, picturesque landscapes, and some truly standout acting – would be better served without all the video game bits around them.

I wonder if this is shorthand for the game isn't gay enough? If so, this would be the second reviewer to have that complaint.
...

I watched the video and he observes that there isn't much of a romantic connection between the two leads so I think that is what he meant. The idea that the playable character may be attached to the other lead simply because she already lost her entire family to a plague, for example, is something he brings up. He may also be referring to the idea of a woman as a knight - probably a bit of both, actually. The rest of the video is all about poor performance, glitches, bugs, game structure, and bad combat.

Also, his referral to "video game bits" is the kind of cringe I've come to associate with gaming journalists bloggers.
