Good luck getting the executive parasites to let go. Even the most generous amongst them believe themselves worth their pay; the worst will happily drain the host dry.

It says Souls-lite but it more so reminds me of Bloodborne with the gun. Also mostly the new GoW’s, and that’s understating it with the ax, perspective, HUD, enemy tactics, etc. They might have something with the quick traversal stuff though and hopefully it can cook longer.

That sucks. As much I hate MS, the XBOX players should not be left out. It's weird, because the RE Engine is basically Capcom's modern MT Framework engine. They've used it for Arcade Stadium and I assumed they used it for their compilations since the Fighting Game Collection.

EDIT: The AAA Industry does have a habit of not writing their female leads well or have them go through a bunch of unnecessary suffering to count as character development. As he points out near the end of the video, it's usually Western AAA games that fudge this up. Though He doesn't mention Alloy from the Horizon (I get why as she's bland to some people, but she doesn't go through a whole bunch of misery and either of her or her games) games. There's Cloe and Nadine Uncharted Lost Legacy. Both characters have their own agency and doesn't rely on them going through so much pain and misery. Rivet definitely counts too and works as leading lady, even though she shares it with Ratchet. I do appreciate Yahtzee says that he doesn't like pointless misery nor victimization of a character, no matter if they're male, female, color, lgbtq, etc. It's funny how either the smaller budget games usually get it right or the AAA Japanese games get it right. More so the ones with fan service. It be like at times.
Though big problem with Yahtzee's argument is that he's cherry picking examples. There's plenty of Western AAA games that avoid TR 2013's main issues. As I've discussed with a friend:
- Control
- Alan Wake 2
- Various Assassin's Creed games with female leads. This one is not my forte, but I give credit where it's due. Shadows counts even though it's not out yet.
- Alien Isolation
- Returnal
I'd argue she's bland because she goes trough misery but just comes out unaffected. She was ostracized her whole childhood, literally talking to only two other human being until she became a young adult and she turned out... perfectly normal. She even has a good grasp of societal structure, politeness norm, hierarchy and other social interaction as soon as she start interacting with people. To bring it back to Yathzee point, she has no flaw she need to overcome, she's just a mary sue and its the rest of world job to realize how awesome she is.
I don't consider her a "Mary Sue". I am not hardcore into her, but she's fine overall.
