      Please, regale us with the girl boss games that suck.

      I’m not saying they don’t exist, surely they do, I just want to know which ones you don’t like that you can name.

          Okay, Yotei. You’ve played this? And did you not like it, or was the protagonist being a woman somehow harmful to the gameplay or story?

          COD, which one, and why is it somehow girlboss slop instead of AI assets and Fortnite-ification slop? Are the woman models better hitboxes or less stereotypical ARMY WARRIOR than the men?

          Horizons…like Forza or like the game series that has always been about a woman? Did you play the games, and was her character somehow not the character you expected them to be? (I will say, women make up about 20% of Engineers in the US, so it’s not crazy to think a woman scientist cloned herself, thus resulting in a 'savior character

          GTA 6…I don’t play GTA so I can’t say much on that one. Have you played it yet? Can you share details so people can see how girl boss slop it is?

          So 3 massive award winning games, a series with character customization where you choose the gender of your avatar, and the most anticipated game since Sliksong. And all of them AAA games from major publishers.

          Yeah, you seem like a good judge of quality (/s because you need it).

        Very Controversial Opinion: Bayonetta would have been better as a movie and Final Fantasy 13 kinda sucked. Although, for the latter I think that’s more about the age of the franchise.

          I can’t say I agree with the Bayonetta comment, but it’s because I only played it at a friend’s house a few times growing up and think it’d go over as well as a Final Fantasy movie.

          FF 13 sucked for me. The sudden transition to even more linear environments, my salt about a lack of turn based combat, and the oh-my-god-they-out-finalled-their-fantasy with the cutscenes longer than dissertations. I love Sazh, love Fang, I fucks with Vanille and I low key love lightning design and a return to the gun blade. None of that could save that game for me, though. Oh, and fuck turning gods into vehicles, that Shiva-cycle was lame
