Yep. I was looking forward to trying it for ages, but in the end like you I'm glad I only torrented it.
esp in the expansion
That's the leader of the good guys. People reading might not know that the leader of the bad guys in that DLC is another hoglike BBW. Or that the 2 of them are a mere fraction of the full cast of badass lady warriors you run into in the game, practically all of them ugly. At the same time, every faceless bandit grunt and mongol soldier you kill in GoT is male.
Anyone who's played GoT and has not noticed the deep, deep feminist influence needs their ideological radar recalibrated. It is nauseating throughout the game, to the point I stopped playing in the final third. I would argue that it's not just a feminism-influenced game but a feminist game, full stop, in the same sense that Disco Elysium is a communist game. It's not just surface level propaganda issues like implausibly competent women chars who are all ugly. GoT has that propagandistic influence but it isn't just that - it's more like a feminist outlook crystallised into a story. I guess it's the difference between naked propaganda and a real, enjoyable product (which it is) that happens to be made by ideological opponents, ones who are technically competent and who try to write about a variety of topics in a fair fashion, but they can't help writing absolutely everything through their ideological lens.
Hell, the only reason you play as the titular 'Ghost' - and you have no choice in that - is because the character is following the influence of women. The 'ghost' nickname is thought up and spread around the populace by your badass lady bandit sidekick, while your MC stands there unhappy about being called it, at first, but too cucked to protest much. There are male samurai in the story (not many) who criticise Jin's methods, and those conversations weirdly come off like a pussywhipped husband getting talked to by friends who don't want to criticise his bitch wife too much.
Not to get into too much spoiler detail, but the later themes are all about how honour is dumb while poison (historically the woman's weapon) is great. Unprincipled pragmatism and sneakery is the only real way to get what you want in the world. It's No Bad Tactics, Only Bad targets: The Game, while every male connection is treacherous, naive, unreliable or cruel. It pays lip service to every exotic, cosmetic aspect of Japan - pretty nature and temples, cuddly foxes, cool samurai armour - and spares no lip service at all for the value of honour.
Ghost of Yotei looking like it does was 1000% predictabo. The devs have not cucked to anything, they were always true believers.
You can't even kill the bitch female student of the archer samurai. The one who works with the mongols and tortured civilians
I mean got is a good game, I had fun playing it but damn the females in the game were wtf from the lesbian noble to the "misunderstood" traitor/torturer
The archer quest was where I first started smelling the stench. The conversations you have with the old archery sensei guy are textbook feminist crap. First of all, the woman is his best student ever, sorry Jin. But that's to be expected, all the female warriors in the game are incredible - apart from that one sidequest samurai lady who shows up (to train male rebels) then gets in trouble (because she's too brave and righteous and fights too many evil men at once).
But then the rest of the conversations through every part of that archer quest consists of Jin talking shit at the sensei. 'What did you do to make her this mad?' 'What are you hiding?' 'Gonna kill your own student huh...' All while there is immediate evidence of her being a willing mongol collaborator and enthusiastic killer of japanese peasants, all the story can think of is how to turn this around on the male authority figure. Right after her cruellest murder trap, when you chase her down the first time, Jin doesn't immediately kill her as he would with any man, instead he just gives her a chance to say 'sensei is hiding the truth from you!' then escape.
I never finished that sidequest but I read the summary of how it concludes just now and laughed. Just as predictable as Ghost of Yotei.
The writers have no idea how to ever ascribe any wrongdoing to women, except by occasionally floating the question that they're being too violent (which is another feminist fantasy), but every time in those cases the reason for it is that men made a cruel world so it's women's responsibility to fix it, by discarding dumb male principles and killing all the bad men from the shadows.
The final sidequest in the DLC is like this too. Big Bertha's men turn against her for bending her own rules to spare her daughter, rules she previously used as justification have men executed, presumably. Complex situation and a legit grievance, possibly, yet Jin unquestioningly sides with fattie to help slaughter her own men and save her junkie daughter. I said fuck it and just tried to run out of the location boundary at that point.
Ghost of Yotei is by the same people that made Ghost of Tsushima ..... So they are woke too, what a disappointment.
are you really that suprised? GoT had a ton of feminist shit in it
esp in the expansion, to me it was painfully obvious, luckily i didn't even pay, torrented the game because FUCK SONY
