Not here, I'll just be playing ghost of Tsushima instead! For the record I don't care when companies put in their political messaging, they are free to do this and I just have the right to not buy the product once they do that, and I'm just going to exercise that right and hope enough people do so that the next ghost or infamous game doesn't have the unneeded political messaging/activism. I want my video games to be escapism, not activist dribble that only a small portion of people agree with. You would think with all the failures, so so many failures from this exact problem that they wouldn't be making this huge of a misstep on such a huge game franchise and huge game studio...but hey I guess they will have to figure it out. Or maybe they will blame the failure at not being live service enough, that seems lately like the game journos go to excuse...or the whole "but it was day one on game pass" excuse, which granite this ghost game won't have that excuse, but you get what I'm saying. I can see it now though, it doesn't sell but maybe half or less of Tsushima, and then gamers will be called sexist, because game journos will be insincere and say that "the only difference is the main character is female and that's it". They won't mention the main characters actor having politically polarizing opinions, including being a racist, or that she actively flames fans of the series that are critical about anything in the slightest already.

I mean he IS the one who CREATED the art and is the one that is trying to explain what pyramid head did and did not represent. Who is anyone other than the creator of the art to tell what the art means?! Seems like people that come to their own conclusions and not listen to the original creators intent are the ones with ego/narcissism to the max. Think about it, telling the original creator he is wrong because you interpreted it a different way based on your feelings... 😂.

She, by her own definition, is an 'activist' with many polarizing opinions that she gladly publicly shares. It just makes me avoid a product that she is associated with as with many others will be when the sales are shown. It has nothing to do with her being female, why would I care about that? Nothing I have stated was sexist.

As a huge fan of the infamous series and ghost of Tsushima, this predictable insert loud activist into lead role has turned me away and I will not be purchasing this title and many others are having similar feelings which is great to see in my opinion because ultimately we get to vote with our wallet. This game is not going to sell nearly as much as ghost of Tsushima did, and not nearly as much as it COULD have. Hopefully their next trip back to the ghost series after this will be made for the fans(customers)...and made to sell. It would have been SO EASY.

Disingenuous to say it's not discounted on consoles when I could download it for FREE right now with PlayStation plus. It has been reported that even for free video gamers are not playing it and in fact, the cowabunga collection has been downloaded and played more than this. I have all the previous dragon age games and will not play this one, even for free.
