Impossible to know for sure but I'll pose a couple theories:
Women in gaming get lots of attention, attention starved gamers crave this.
There are very few women in gaming so gamers don't interact with actual women very much and elevate them to a mystical status and want on that status.
Gamers Spend massive amounts of time on the internet and almost certainly spend a lot of it finding more and more depraved pornography a surprising number of those rabbit wholes lead to trans and autogynophilia porn and they mistake their boredom of vanilla porn for genuine interest in the lifestyle.
Gamers regularly disassociate from reality more so than any other media. So they may accept the idea that they aren't associated to their body more readily.
Gamers who take their hobby to the extremes that would put them in the lime light game enough to where the time suck effects their social develoment.
Gaming is a favorite hobby of neet types who very unhappy with themselves due to personal failing and looking for an explanation for why they feel like total losers and hate themselves.
(((most likely))) games are being stuffed with subliminal hypnotic messages by a massive Global Jewish conspiracy to get young disaffected youths who otherwise might rebel against their righteous rule to both sterilize themselves to curve population growth and fill themselves with hormones that will reduce their aggression. This is obviously a good and wise plan and will eventually be extended more directly to all potential violent criminals(goy males)
only way out is to start transitioning and hopefully you'll be 5/10 at least so you can be some rich saudi's bussy cumdumpster and live off oil daddy's credit card
Because they are unemployable antisocial people who need a lot of cope. Video games stimulate the the dopamine and make you feel better about being a shitty human being.
Being boring and uninteresting, bad with women, poor social skills, obviously its because you were suppose to be a woman! Until they get their wangs cut off they are just attention whores.
Cutting insight. I agree, never made the connection before. On a unrelated note, I used to be fine with trannies until I had to start dealing with their bullshit. Imagine being lectured by a waiter for misgendering “her” when “she’s” wearing a tux and has the chest of a loli
This is it, a lot of flat out fake trans out there, but people will say your just transphobe for saying it. Either gay gays trying to trick/guilt trip strait guys into sex, strait guys being perverted so they can get close to women in changing/bathrooms, sports athletes cheating by using their natural strength to beat women in sports, "lesbian" trans who date women, or just a flat out attention whores who who call themselves trans just to get attention. There have been people on reddit who have admitted that they do this or know someone who does this, but it always gets downvoted because it goes against the narrative.
Tbh I'm having a real hard time figuring out their stance on accuracy. They dont care when its black female nazis but god forbid a western portray the west
no, some notes on some of the guys humanizes them a bit. one of them talks about how their father didn't want them going back to college so they ran away to go back.
Yeah I’m amused that you run into the KKK a couple times and you get positive karma for just murdering them in an unprovoked fashion. No politics behind this I’m sure.
Imagine a game with a karma system that gave positive karma for killing civilian women and negative karma for killing civilian men. Gee I wonder what the reactions would look like.
One of your best friends won the victim olympics of being a black native american in the wild west.
You can tell how much of a copout it is because of the implication that native americans back then liked black people enough to be within fucking distance.
I'd say hate the game for it's biggest glaring problem though, all the plotlines end up being magically fixed after every mission. It's like a 90s sitcom.
Friend gets arrested? Blam, he gets off. The other guy who got arrested? Blam, magic device that fixes all your problems.
Defection starting to show in your group? Blam. Good reason that magically means the infighting had a point, and that said infighting was all just one block of fuck instead of the usually small fuckeries that builds up to said infighting.
I still dislike kotaku but now it's with a hint of guilty pleasure. Like a trap in a doujin who gets raped by an ugly bastard but ends up enjoying it in the end. Kotaku did me a mind break.
Gonna be totally honest here. The sad thing about Kotaku is they at times post stories and articles that I truly love and enjoy reading, things that validate its existence and engage a deeper appreciation for gaming, and for that I do find myself browsing their site, but as soon as they post shit like this I'm right back to hating the whole site. I nope out.
There has never been another website that has gave me such strongly mixed feelings. I am open to different perspectives, and I like to give people the benefit of a doubt, but you have to draw a line somewhere. Common sense has to prevail.
Games journalists flip their shit because a game about cowboys has a hwyt male in it and not written, designed and coded by a trans womyn of disabled color
people point out how retarded those games journalists are
"Its acktually YOU gambers that are losing their minds!"
What are you talking about? Kotaku barely gives a shit. They keep pumping out articles out and g*mers lose their shit.
"people point out they are shit" doesn't convey the whole message here. Making tens of angry reddit threads & 20 different videos, in addition to hundreds of tweets is not "just pointing out lol".
Kotaku writers can sperg out, but they're still outnumbered 100 to 1. In the end disgusting smelly fat g*mers are the real lolcows.
This was always my complaint about Frogger. The cars are randomly generated, drive by, and then disappear. There should be an entire Sims framework behind the scenes, with the people having rich, full lives with families and children and so on.
And then they get into their cars to go to work, and you play as a frog trying to cross the street. The UI is identical to frogger, but the game takes 30 years to boot up.
A clear illustration of a similar problematic masculine framework can be found in the classic video game, Frogger. In Frogger, cars simply exist to present an ostensible challenge to gamers; the autonomy and agency of the drivers is never touched upon. In this context, "car" and "driver" act as kyriarchical symbols which the gamer defines his masculinity against. Avoiding cars is the means by which gamers affirm their performative masculine roles. To get hit by an NPC driver would suggest submission to the agency and personhood of others, and thus, a punishment within a white, capitalist, patriarchal heteronormative society.
why do game critics dont understand how games work? like AI is not some magic programers can apply to any game and they just chose to make the AI dumb.
My favorite part is, people who regularly call themselves robots are calling others NPCs, and people who regularly dehumanize individuals are upset because it dehumanizes them.
Why some trannies choose some names that looks like they are pornstars? I really don't get it. I don't think I've ever seen a tranny call herself Becky or Stacy.
I think it's overcompensation. For a lot of trans women, getting to "passing" status takes a lot of time and money, so they showcase femininity in whatever other way they can, such as hyperfeminine names (which Heather does while railing against gender roles, because muh cognitive dissonance).
Because trannies don’t want to be women. They want to be their oversexualized ideal of women. Don’t believe me? Check out r/transgoals and see how literally all of them are from fucking anime.
This pink haired reject probably didn't even play the game.
OR
Wrote this article regardless of the fact that every point they made can be countered or debated. And just wanted to enrage and stir the pot just like every time a good game comes out and this piece of shit has to promote some LGBT agenda into it (i.e Spider-Man ps4)
If they played the "Further Questions of Female Suffrage" they would realize the game promotes that women can hold a gun and defend themselves as well as a man.
Kotaku's people are plastic, existing because and solely for the contrarian postmodernist ideology. We interact with them in a limited, anti-male framework. It molds the site into an often superficial click bait outfit in the guise of social justice.
Beowolf's Grendel is plastic, existing because and solely for the protagonist. He interacts with him in a limited, masculine framework and is rewarded rewarded for those impulses. It molds the story into a simple tale of toxic masculinity /s
mte. This is some sort of weird pseudocritique that could be launched against any sort of fictional narrative.
Maybe there is a valid article to be written about how AI interactions are getting into an uncanny valley of increasing complexity where they exhibit enough agency to create an emotional connection with the player but not enough as to appear scripted and creepy, but this isn't that article. It just comes across as uninformed about game development and the nature of video games. The author's reference to Westworld seems like she isn't even aware of how Westworld's writers were influenced by NPC interactions and interactive game worlds in general, and the writer writes about it as if Westworld writers invented the concept.
At a minimum I think RDR1 pulls it off better because it’s much more honest about its existence as genre pastiche and grindhouse inspired shootfest.
Imagine getting paid to type shit like this about video games. As long as private companies are going to pick and choose who gets banned from which site and who does or doesn't get payment processing, let's add this dude to the blacklist.
The article itself actually makes some good points on how the NPCs are uncanny valley. But that paragraph is out of nowhere and seems out of place within the article. I imagine it's just a clickbait thing they threw in there to get some views.

Stop making NPCs look bad! They are voters just like you and me.
1 Orsonius2 2018-10-30
why do game critics dont understand how games work? like AI is not some magic programers can apply to any game and they just chose to make the AI dumb.
1 aelfwine_widlast 2018-10-30
Because stringing buzzwords together is the full extent of their talent. If they had to actually design or implement an algorithm they'd cry.

Complaining based off of raw emotion is easier than understanding.

To be fair, Popular Science has been lying to the plebs about tech that is "just around the corner" for decades now.

I’m pretty sure they post articles like this on purpose, with full knowledge that they are dumb trash, just so they can get clicks. And it works.

If only there was some way we could make more variable and meaningful interactions than plugging away at the next pokeman or Zelda.

My favorite part is, people who regularly call themselves robots are calling others NPCs, and people who regularly dehumanize individuals are upset because it dehumanizes them.

Based radical centrism.
Take the grey pill, everyone is an NPC because there's no such thing as free will and we live in a society.

I honestly find it hilarious that it triggers them so bad that actual NPCs in video games are becoming "problematic"

Between this idiot calling someone an NPC and the "writer" complaining that a game is tailored to you as the player and not about NPCS. Lol

Now it can't deal with the backlash and is having a total sperg out.
It spent multiple posts arguing where the word "problematic" first appears in an article it wrote.... and it loses the argument.
1 RyuunDragon 2018-10-30
This unironically sounds like a MDEgenerate post
Is this an alt?

Using that word, might be time for a bleach smoothy.

Most definitely a MDEtard's alt. Either that or a normie that stumbled into here. Reported to the proper authorities for immigration policy violation

When you're so anti-patriarchy that you change your name to 2 women's names
1 ltedt 2018-10-30
Why some trannies choose some names that looks like they are pornstars? I really don't get it. I don't think I've ever seen a tranny call herself Becky or Stacy.
1 Gtyyler 2018-10-30
When I finally go off the rails and start HRT, I will just call myself Chad.
1 aelfwine_widlast 2018-10-30
I think it's overcompensation. For a lot of trans women, getting to "passing" status takes a lot of time and money, so they showcase femininity in whatever other way they can, such as hyperfeminine names (which Heather does while railing against gender roles, because muh cognitive dissonance).
1 ChadVenture96 2018-10-30
Because trannies don’t want to be women. They want to be their oversexualized ideal of women. Don’t believe me? Check out r/transgoals and see how literally all of them are from fucking anime.
1 shallowm 2018-10-30
recognizing these people's names
1 Bruce_The_Triple 2018-10-30
I don't know how Kotaku lets that creature write for and represent it's company.
"At a minimum I think RDR1 pulls it off better because it’s much more honest about its existence as genre pastiche and grindhouse inspired shootfest."
What the fuck does that mean? Thats completely wrong, there was nothing grindhouse about it save for the Undead Nightmare.
1 infinitude 2018-10-30

lol of course this is tweeted by some self-important pink-haired spastic. get a real job you degenerate cunt.
1 Bruce_The_Triple 2018-10-30
This pink haired reject probably didn't even play the game.
OR
Wrote this article regardless of the fact that every point they made can be countered or debated. And just wanted to enrage and stir the pot just like every time a good game comes out and this piece of shit has to promote some LGBT agenda into it (i.e Spider-Man ps4)
If they played the "Further Questions of Female Suffrage" they would realize the game promotes that women can hold a gun and defend themselves as well as a man.
1 The_Almighty_Demoham 2018-10-30

1 retryer 2018-10-30
This may be a new record in reaching for controversy even for Kotaku.
NPC's act like NPC's and Men act like cowboys.
Even their outrage machine is getting bored trying to make things seem problematic. 🤷♂️

Ahahaha that is some next level shit. It's beyond parody.
1 SkipperPauline 2018-10-30
Its a shame this game was unable to create sentient AI, I might not bother buying it now.

And sweaty, you're a girl when you put the effort in. Boy looking ass
1 its_never_lupus 2018-10-30
Kotaku's people are plastic, existing because and solely for the contrarian postmodernist ideology. We interact with them in a limited, anti-male framework. It molds the site into an often superficial click bait outfit in the guise of social justice.
1 SkaterMan 2018-10-30
wtf npcs exist for the player to interact with wtf
1 UmmahSultan 2018-10-30
Women exist for the player to interact with too. That's why it's sexist.

WOKE
tho y nothing about rape? o wait no xe mentioned masculinity 👍👍
1 neonoodle 2018-10-30
Maybe there is a valid article to be written about how AI interactions are getting into an uncanny valley of increasing complexity where they exhibit enough agency to create an emotional connection with the player but not enough as to appear scripted and creepy, but this isn't that article. It just comes across as uninformed about game development and the nature of video games. The author's reference to Westworld seems like she isn't even aware of how Westworld's writers were influenced by NPC interactions and interactive game worlds in general, and the writer writes about it as if Westworld writers invented the concept.

1 trowawee12tree 2018-10-30
I feel like superficial theme park is actually just the definition of a sandbox game like RDR2. So, mission accomplished?
1 jaredschaffer27 2018-10-30
Imagine getting paid to type shit like this about video games. As long as private companies are going to pick and choose who gets banned from which site and who does or doesn't get payment processing, let's add this dude to the blacklist.

1 CNSPreddit 2018-10-30
The article itself actually makes some good points on how the NPCs are uncanny valley. But that paragraph is out of nowhere and seems out of place within the article. I imagine it's just a clickbait thing they threw in there to get some views.
