Right? They went off chasing that mythical modern audience by wokifying the game when they could have easily made a quality and highly successful game instead.
We know they can do it, Control was a great game despite its flaws and minor woke elements. But they had to double-down instead and make complete trash.
"Minor woke elements" the main character has such a MANJAW that I suspected the spelling of "Jesse" instead of "Jessie" was a hint of being trans. Yeah the model actress has a strong chin, but Western game ugly stick smacks the character into "oof" territory, while Control's cover art carefully glows her up to make her seem more like Scarlett Johansson.
I will admit that I didn't notice this. Mostly I was referring to the whole girl power thing that the game likes to do, with the women being hyper-competent while the men are largely useless. It's bad that they did this as well.
"Trust the plan."
