Not for long unless we intervene fast, not if we keep up this complacent "they will never change" mentality while the SJW localizers have their exclusive ear.
Yoko Taro games are anti-woke as fuck. Drakengard 1 is literally "women ruin everything" the game. Every single bad thing in that game goes back to a woman doing horrible shit, and it ends with you literally murdering a giant pregnant statue god (after fighting her giant cannibal babies for a few chapters) by throwing her through time and space so she can't flood the world with her spawn.
Metroid has a female character in a game with no dialogue
If only that were true. Other M was the last original Metroid game and it was chock full of dialogue so bad it literally sunk the franchise.
It was actually an interesting inversion in that the "gamer boys" were the most mad about how they turned her into a weak willed damsel in distress, and the games media/activists loved it for being a cutscene heavy movie game they could actually play for once.
Proving that actual "strong female characters" can be beloved and great times, they just need to actually be made well.
Before that Metroid Fusion had quite a few conversations (nothing like Other M of course) and I thought that was more than enough for a Metroid game. Certainly not "no dialogue".
Yeah Fusion was pushing it but worked because the rest of the game was still solid and the story it was telling was good. Prime 2 I think had the best balance of dialogue when it was used.
Then they fucked it up with Prime 3 and made a game so terrible it needed the Wii Gimmick to save it.
Have you never played any good games with female protagonists like Tomb Raider, Metroid, Bayonetta, Nier Automata or Tales of Berseria?
...Portal, Final Fantasy VI/X, Mirror's Edge, Atelier series, Castlevania:Order of Ecclessia, Cooking Mama, Mischief Makers, Shantae...
Now that takes me back. God that game was such a hidden gem.
Fair enough, and Metroid is my favorite series, but can you name anything from the last decade?
Bayonetta, Nier Automata and Tales of Berseria are all from the last decade.
They are all Japanese games which is why they have been able to avoid the woke cancer sweeping the West.

The man who wrote that guide for Japanese artists is a hero.
I was talking about the earlier Tomb Raider games not the latest two games which are cucked.
Nier Automata was made by based Yoko Taro. How is he woke trash?
Tales of Berseria is a fun action jrpg with a good story.

That garbage IWD tweet is from the virtue signalling marketing team of the western branch of Square Enix. They are not the ones making the game.
The original Japanese devs and the team making the Nier games are not woke.

That is the way to do it. When has women talking ever not made anything worse?
