hurrrrrrrr
just like hatred
🤔🤔🤔
fuqin ausies
Why? Also, I thought this game had failed already
No fun allowed down under <:pepe_sad:378719408345841664>
Australia has no fun
i have a game
what tech have we maxed out IRL
that cannot possibly be improved upon in any tangible, objectively useful way
eg. Dishsoap
I don't think anyone is actually mad that BattlefieldV has women in it. It's that we've been so inundated with progressive pandering for the last 4 years that the immediate reaction to the trailer (awful presentation aside) was that it was pandering to sjws who won't play it
That's my official position
nobody is mad that battlefield has women in it
@Jek Porkins you've fallen into the same trap
they've made it into a discussion about women
this started out as a complaint about cricket bats, katanas, warpaint, chaos and prosthetics
things that don't belong anywhere near the ww2 trenches

Battlefield 5 is a mees```
way ahead of you 🤣
Based on what I've been hearing, I'm beginning to feel that the trailer just vastly misrepresented the game. It is a fuckin awful trailer
SJWs made the same argument during CoD
It's immersion v game mechanics
Like when I'm in a flight sim, and somehow I'm on my own instead of in a flight formation, and how I don't need clearance from the ground crew etc etc
But if I'm in a WWII flight sim but I can take an F-16 up for a spin? yeah nah
Even War Thunder is a good example
I'm willing to tolerate being able to repair my transmission mid-battle (when even replacing a track link could take an hour or more IRL)
But driving a T-54 along the beaches of Normandy against Japanese Type 90 tanks? Getting a bit much.
didn't Battlefield 1 have a bunch of weapons skins in it and etc?
whaddyamean?
Most every game can't help but include skin variants nowadays
what I'm thinking is that if the overall game is "not serious" and not trying to be realistic then the girl soldiers are sort of whatever
Like I said, immersion v game mechanics
I remember one of the first Star Wars RTSs used the Age of Empires II engine
And whilst people were willing to overlook serious oddball shortcomings because "it's Star Wars and Star Wars is fiction"
A lot of people found it unacceptably absurd that you still had to mine stone and chop wood in order to build high-tech buildings and weaponry
my only gripe with the reveal trailer is that the disabled allied girl soldier is like the first thing you see and it's such a clear focal point that it is obviously ideologically codified
and the reaction of literally "shut up bigots" to any criticism
otherwise, bionic battle waifus are fine by me
