Never played the first one, and I never will now.
One thing, though. What if Ellie isn't dead and this is an attempt to set up a revenge plot in a third game where you play as Ellie? Because everyone is assuming she's dead.
I mean, that wouldn't be much better, but if that's the case, at least you could sort of see what they were going for when they failed. Otherwise, if Ellie is dead and this troon is the new protagonist, I don't even understand what they were trying to accomplish.
That's what me and my buddies were theorizing. She literally looks like someone slapped a woman's face onto an aggressively masculine body and called it a day. Everything about her body screams "man"- even her boobs look more like a man's pectorals than actual boobs.
You have to remember SJWs literally believe gender-swapping a male character to female without otherwise altering the script is some sort of powerful, woke statement. Instead of what it actually is: terrible writing.
Whoa there, let's not say something wrong in this thread.
What, in a thread where everyone is hallucinating MGS2 was
clearly a work of genius and that Raiden is
actually a cool/likable character?
This is the "the prequels were actually pretty good" bullshit all over again.
