2 of the most famous protagonists in gaming are silent: Link from Zelda and Gordon from Half Life.
Guess we’re woke and gay in Hyrule and Black Mesa
Good non-woke game narration has your main character constantly replying with useless snarky Marvel-type punchlines to each NPC's sentence
What are we, the last of us?!?!
would be more immersive if character had vocals.
Ffs read. FUCKING READ. FUCKING LEARN TO USE YOUR IMAGINATION TO GIVE VOICES TO THE WORDS YOU ARE READING.
I have no idea where this sentiment comes from. I remember voice acting in games being made fun of. Now it's mandatory?
These types of people have developed their identity through comparing themselves to others. It makes them feel comfy they are the dominating force. When this position is challenged, they lash out and try to find someone, to blame it on.
It's like water in the shower getting too, because their wife flushed the toilet, but instead of separating the water pipes (it requires a lot of effort), they will start blaming their wife for being , which can turn into misogyny.
Here they liked playing as a certain kind of protagonist in games, but someone decided to make a game with a different type of protagonist and they got upset. Now they are blaming it on the "woke". They think others are like them too and won't make games for them, so any deviation from the norm becomes scary. A world where games are made from each according to their need, to each according to their ability is not imaginable.
Am I supposed to be explaining this? Sometimes I can't tell if the questions asked are serious or rhetorical, so if people understand this already, many probably do I don't wanna make anyone seem less intelligent. Just give yourself a pat on the back for knowing already.
I was almost a Jill sandwich once upon a time
"Indie game fan" when a studio doesn't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to pay for voice acting
Best voice acting ever was in Mechanicus, where Admech dudes just emitted modem sounds for using binary lingua technis and Necrons speak normally (though i think devs missed the opportunity to make them sound like early voice syntesisers).
How dare you suggest I use my brain for thinking and not receiving an endless stream of slop entertainment
Hotline Miami and GTA 3 are my favourite woke games
Does that mean all the retro games created before storage technologies and audio quality became good enough to include voice acting are woke? And I guess Sega CD era FMV games are the height of anti-woke gaming.

Considering how casually sexist and homophobic those sorts of games tended to be, you're probably right.
Someone needs to infiltrate their spaces and tell them they're all a bunch of woke progressives if they play anything other than Night Trap or Sewer Shark.
Me when every boomber shooter is woke now:
Considering the voice acting in the OG Octopath traveller, a lack of it in this one is probably a good thing. Though it wasn't really the voice actor's fault, that dialogue was some of the worst writing I've ever seen.
Staaaaaaaaandest thou against me? [4-SECOND PAUSE] Then be hunted!
(Cut to you, the player, furiously mashing X to try to advance the opening combat shit so you can hurry up and grind those FUCKING TREANTS in the Forest of Purgation because you just had to level H'aanit for the final superboss fight)
I guess half life is woke too??
