What were they thinking with this garbage character design? I mean, she looks like a gorilla, literally. And she says corny, Mary Sue bullshit like "I don't run from people in danger" or something. I have no problem with female protags but at least make her aesthetically pleasing if not traditionally attractive.
And did you see that story trailer? All of the prominent characters are black, women, or black women. I have no problem with diversity (unlike some of you mouth breathers on here) but c'mon, a company as established as Guerilla should know to appeal to their target audience.
Shit. I was gonna preorder but now I'll wait to see if I can handle the garbage characters before I get it
The lack of a robo T Rex statue with the LE was all I needed to know this would not be worth a purchase. I look forward to seeing Sup Forums spitroast this. How could anyone fuck up what's basically Nausicaa vs ZOIDS?

>Guerilla should know to appeal to their target audience.
by doing what exactly?
Julian Wilson
The robot designs are pretty sweet, it's just the humans that suck.
The MC is allegedly based off of ygrritte from the game of thrones tv show
Kevin Sanders
Throw in some some relatable characters (I.e. White guys since the majority of players will be white guys) and make the MC's design less shit
Liam Edwards
game itself looks like bland shit, but sonycucks are so hungry for anything that slides out of a developers ass onto the ps4 that they are going to praise it to no end; not to mention that the sjws are gonna be clamoring all over the female lead
Austin Clark
>I have no problem with female protags but at least make her aesthetically pleasing if not traditionally attractive
What is this obsession with characters needing to look attractive? If it doesn't serve a purpose (eg like it would in Catherine) then they can do whatever they want with it.
If anything, the fact she looks like an ugly gorilla would make more sense as to why she's a warrior.
Hunter Kelly
what about white skin makes something relatable?
Jaxon Lewis
They designed her like this because the world is inspired by prehistoric times. Neanderthals have similar face shapes and her design is reflective of this.
Don't really understand how this is a confusing design.
Jaxon Carter
How does it look bland? Take your console war bullshit outta here poorfag, I'm getting a switch and I've got a pc too
I said aesthetically pleasing, not attractive. Samus was a great character design before anyone knew she was supposed to be attractive too.
Joshua Morales
Are you pretending to be retarded?
Players want characters who look like them. This is marketing 101 for games or any fiction-based medium
Lincoln Rodriguez
>Players want characters who look like them

Carter Myers
I never said anything about confusing. Her character design is not good. If they wanted to make her look like a prehistoric human, they shoulda found a way to make her look good. Once again, she doesn't have to be hot, but something better than this ugly bullshit with an awful hairstyle
Isaiah Roberts
i don't know if cyber robot time cave women were attractive. would you rather have bald military guy? it's like what the fuck, people are just too analyzing and trolling about fucking video games. Why there's even suddenly always horizon threads?Is that necessary? no it isn't so fuck the way off and get ready to bump the hammer in your face you fucking bitch. seriously give this guy hugs. he really needs it because who the else would whine about every fucking thing.
Adrian Turner
>Mary sue bullshit
Oh look, another retard who doesnt know what this phrase means. Your opinion has been discarded.
Carter Jenkins
Kratos is basically a black guy painted white. Why do so many people want more God of War games?
Here's some random marketing firm with article on it. You can find further proof too, but I'm not spoof feeding a shit poster

Daniel Howard
You're right man, I play metroid because samus is a guy with green eyes, light brown hair and beard and a thick cock.
Justin Brooks
That makes zero sense. You literally watch movies and play games to escape reality.
Lucas Bailey
>Mary Sue Anyone who unironically says this should never be taken seriously
Jaxon Martinez
So balding neckbeards are the perfect player character?
Shut the fuck up you dumb ape
Luke Hughes
No, I would NEVER prefer a bald military guy, that's boring as fuck design. Joel from the last of us was the only time I liked a design even resembling that description
And I never said the MC had to be a white male, but look at the story trailer. There's not a single competent white guy in the whole thing. Even episode 7 had Han and Luke
Keaton's is surrounded by white guys, think before you post
Joshua Long
>Sup Forums is literally at a point where anything besides anime faced fuckdolls are considered evil and agenda pushing
Do we blame GG? Will it get worse during the Drumpf years?
Xavier Turner
>balding neckbeards Hey, if you relate to that then who am I to judge.
How about Ellie, Laura Croft, Samus, Link, the chick from beyond good and evil, etc. there are many ways to design a good character without falling into the standard mold. Unfortunately, alloy is not one of those designs
Brody Rogers
She doesn't look appealing or anything, but if I could change one thing it would be the fact that she doesn't shut the fuck up even though she's sneaking around the wilderness alone. Every quip she has is the most generic garbage you can imagine.
John Long
>Joel from the last of us was the only time I liked a design even resembling that description
John Morgan
Is that Blake Griffin?
Cameron Bailey
Disgusting, get that shit out of here.
You retarded straw manning/slippery slope shotposters are gonna ruin this place.
I want the character to have an interesting, aesthetically pleasing design. Doesn't mean she has to be attractive, just well designed

Nathan Powell
This. It's gotten fucking ridiculous. People here get triggered just as much as the faggots on the other side. There's literally no gray line anymore.
Julian Cox
Is he? He looked Hispanic or some shit.
Fine, no competent white male good guys.
Henry Campbell
Not him but I love games with good character creation. I usually make painfully average looking or ugly MCs that stick out like sore thumbs.
David Myers

Carson Myers
>I want the character to have an interesting
user, no need to lie. It's plain to see.
You like your space marines to be unshaven and middle aged, and you like your female protags to be pretty princesses. You're just another average guy.
Not saying it's right or wrong, but you don't have to lie.
Benjamin Taylor
Well, most of the sight is full of teenagers, so they clearly know women only from their Japshit.
Christian Evans
>have spears that shoot lightning and bows that fire nukes >live like cavemen in mud huts This setting is retarded
Alexander Russell
That's not even an issue. Who doesn't like their women to be hot?
It's just funny seeing Sup Forums doing all this mental gymnastics about how it's not about sexiness, it's not about the tits, but it's about something else, like artistic integrity or uniqueness or some shit. When in reality it is always just about the tits and sex appeal.
Elijah Miller

Samuel Cruz
I've literally never played a game with characters that fit those descriptions.
Don't resort to shitposting just because you can't find a legitimate argument.
Aaron Baker

Ayden Fisher

Anthony Collins
There is no argument. Nobody is punishing you for preffering hot ladies and brooding white dudes.
Just be honest and move on.
Julian Sullivan
9/10 people would think Aloy is attractive. It's just some delusional "knees too sharp" retards who keep making these threads to shit on the game.
Caleb Clark
HELP
Brandon Sanchez
>I have no problem with diversity (unlike some of you mouth breathers on here) Just because you are now realising the 'progressive' changes being made to video games doesn't make us mouth breathers, it makes you ignorant to whats been happening over the last 6 years
Ayden Flores
Are you white?
Nathan Cooper
Would bang, but I dont think Alloy is attractive.
And yes I will buy her game too. From GameStop probably since it's close.
Brandon Taylor
I think it's still pretty divided even at that point. You have anons getting triggered over weebshit daily.
I'd say it's just fucked up expectations due to various media and a warped perspective. Maybe a lack of social interaction or r9k leaking in.
I will agree a bit with OP and say the MC does look strange. She has quite a boyish and large face. It looks like she's bloated or something.
Justin Roberts
it looks fine dont see the problem
Zachary White

Brayden Anderson
I'm curious who do you think is an attractive female vidya protag?
Christian Turner
I just hate the hair. It reminds me of this girl I knew in high school that was a complete and utter cunt for no reason.
Josiah Cooper
Her appearance fits me preferences, so I'd fuck her. It was never really divided. Especially not now that we had all of those casual fucks migrate her and chase off all of the sick fucks.
Ryan Adams
Everything besides the story and characters in this game looks interesting but you can tell the character designers took advice directly from neogaf. In one of the developer videos they literally made it a point to design her in a way to specifically not be attractive as it was ''unpratcial and unrealistic'' and it's just like this is a game about robot dinosaurs you fucking dickhead, you don't have to have her boobs hanging out to design a character that just looks nice on the eyes and at least matches how good the environment and world looks.
It's just really stupid. I'm glad Sony came in and forced Geurilla to adjust her design to something that looks more femmine compared to the Turkish shemale look she had going before. I think people can tell when a game includes black characters for the sake of diversity or when they are put in there with no political agenda but this game has it written all over it's face, it's politically motivated and agenda driven, they are literally trying to reverse engineer the we was kangz meme by making black kings and it's just immersion breaking because of how obvious it is.
I expected more from the dutch. They may be tehcnical wizards but they didn't need to inject Americas social issues into their fucking games or base their stories around the plight of muslim refugees in Europe. Maybe that's why the stories in your games fucking suck, fucking sjws.

Isaiah Powell
she looks like a male (male)
its disgusting
I'll buy Nier Automata instead.
Jayden Collins
To be quite honest with you my family, it fits with the overall aesthetic they're going for. Having these characters shoehorned in where they don't belong is shitty, but if it's part of the whole thing then it seems fine to me.
we wuz amazons

Landon Bailey
Sonyponys buttblasted one of their few seemingly worthwhile exclusives is actually shit. Enjoy autistic weeb exclusive #59 though, I'll be having a blast with Scalebound. Xbox will always be superior, and the constant bitter hate and jealousy from PS4 owners only proves me right. If we were irrelevant you wouldnt talk about us, instead you cant stop talking about us. Maybe one day your own platform will have something worthwhile to talk about and you can finally end your unhealthy negative Microsoft obsession.

Would've been better to be honest. And I'm the OP. It's a combination of the ugly haircut and awful jaw coupled with her unlikable holier-than-thou personality. Basically she's a female neckbeard
I have never played a game where the MC was a sexy girl. It doesn't appeal to me. Stop making up shit in hopes that you can discredit people with different opinions from you.
Leo Myers

I never play a character who looks like me and I'm an average everything nordic looking man. Pretty sure a lot of people create a character to roleplay as, pretty sure you're full of shit too.

This is going to be a not so subtle 'current american problem' where the 'nice white girls' have to save the oppressed Black/Hispanic?
Julian Harris
The problem is you're both extremeists, she either has to look like a DOA character or the most manly looking big dyke bitch possible.
Why can't she just look like a normal girl? There has to be a middle ground the SJW developers and the sex craved weebs can meet at. I love this game but I fucking despise the social issues plastered all over it.
Gabriel Parker

mansplaining, it tends to enrage SJWs so much they become cross eyed and start attacking you.
Not surprising when their entire lies (get it) work can be explained away in a few sentences all they have left to fall back on is voilence
